Q: Jerking reaction

Of course, with the sinking brake pedal, you'd want to start with the most logical suspect - a brake fluid leak. Pull the tires off and see if anything's leaking. Look for the dripping fluid. If you don't find anything...

Hello there, the loose steering and brake pedal vibration can be caused by a few different items and may be related. The most common causes of the loose steering and noise is the power steering pump failing or air in...

Hello. It sounds like your engine may be consuming oil (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/What-Does-It-Mean-When-My-Car-Is-Burning-Oil_3). Blue smoke is usually the result of engine oil being burned in the combustion chamber. It may be possible that the piston rings or valve stem seals have begun...

Hi there. The question you have presented is somewhat confusing. I'm not sure, if you are actually putting a fan inside the car to circulate the air out of the vehicle or the radiator cooling fan runs after the vehicle...

Hi there. Check the fuel pressure on the fuel rail and see if there is at least 30 psi. If the fuel pressure is low, then either the fuel filter is plugged or the fuel pump is not producing enough...
