got exhaust replaced now power steering went out same day are they related?
Hi there. Doing the exhaust should not have anything to do with this. It sounds like a belt problem (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-ac-belt). If a belt came off or is loose then it will affect the steering and the AC. I would check...

Hello. From what you describe it would appear that your issue may be occurring after your vehicle warms up. The first thing I would do is check your vehicle's transmission fluid (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/transmission-fluid-service) to see if it may perhaps be low...

Hello. You are smelling gas because there is a gas leak (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/fuel-is-leaking-from-gas-tank-inspection). Fuel leaks are the #1 cause of engine fires. The only option is to find the leak and repair it. Did you change the fuel filter when you...

Hi there. There could be an electrical issue with the cluster panel on the dash causing the gauge to malfunction. For the fuel smell, there could be a vapor fuel line that is cracked under the vehicle or the purge...
P0018
Sensor output has to be directly tested (or the data/waveform viewed on a scanner) and determined to be faulty prior to replacement. If the sensor happens to test good then, the cause lies elsewhere. Code P0018 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0018-obd-ii-trouble-code-crankshaft-position-camshaft-position-correlation-bank-2-sensor-a-by-jay-safford) can set due...
I'm getting an "Oil Pump Pressure Is Low" warning light on my dash, followed by loud tapping sounds from the engine.
The oil pressure sensor only "reads" and reports pressure. The sensor itself cannot "affect" or "set" pump pressure. If the oil pressure warning light illuminates AND there is coincident unusual engine noise, that almost undoubtedly means that oil pressure really...
Hey if my cam chain broke can I put a new chain on before TDC?
The recommended procedure is to set the camshaft and the crankshaft at top dead center (TDC) and then install the belt matching the appropriate marks on the belt to the TDC marks. When moving the camshaft into the correct position...
