Depending on the code received, you could either have separate problem or the O2 sensor code returned due to a misdiagnosis. The codes for O2 sensors can be from the engine running lean, rich, misfiring, or several other reasons. However,...
If the car does move (in reverse) then the wheel is not locked. There may be an issue with the transmission and/or the shift linkage. To resolve this, please request a transmission shift diagnostic. If you request that service, the...
As you may know know, a misfire can be caused by many different things ranging from a faulty ignition coil, to bad spark plug wires, bad spark plugs, a faulty crankshaft position sensor, a lean fuel condition which could be...
Hello, there are two possibilities for why your truck is doing this. The first possibility is that your catalytic converter is severely clogged. If this is the problem, the car will start, but once the catalytic converter reaches operating temperature...
It sounds as though your car is running too rich and fouling the spark plugs. There may be a problem with a temp sensor that is telling your controller that the engine is cold even after it warms up, so...
This is likely related to a weak battery. You are correct in that batteries generally do not last long in heat or in extreme cold weather for that matter. The average life span for a battery in an area such...
Check the wiring harness from the gauge cluster to the speedometer and see if the gauge is working. If the gauge is not working, then the gauge cluster would need replaced. If the gauge is working, then there could be...
Hi there. To be honest, there is no way we can tell you why the air bags on your Grand Caravan did not deploy. In some cases, the air bag sensors are damaged due to corrosion or other electrical faults....
Your power points are supplied direct battery through fuses 3 and 15 in the battery junction box. You would need to alter the wiring of them to have them switched power.
Your vehicle only uses a single serpentine belt. So, if you're only hearing the noise when the A/C is turned on and not all the time, the belt and tensioner are not to blame. My guess is that the noise...
Gasoline engines cannot run on diesel because it is very hard to get it to burn from the ignition; you need very high heat and pressure to get diesel to combust. For example, if you were to throw a match...
You may want to also check a few other things, such as fuel to the injectors, spark plugs, or ignition coils. You could begin by removing a spark plug after cranking it to see if it is wet with fuel....
When your car is turned off, the steering wheel will sometimes lock as a safety precaution. During this time, the steering wheel will barely move, and the car cannot be turned on. To release the steering wheel lock, insert the...
Rebuilding a transfer case for your Toyota Sienna is a pretty lengthy process, especially if it has not been done previously. The labor time it takes to remove and install everything for the transfer case is around twelve and a...
Without hearing the knocking noise it will be hard to determine if the engine has internal problem and an oil change will not fix the issue. The loss of coolant may be a bad water pump or a blown head...
Hi John. Thanks for contacting us tonight. It's quite possible that the spark may have activated a security error code and disabled the ignition system. This can be removed in most cases by a professional mechanic by using a digital...
Hi there. Tapping on the fuse box to get a vehicle to start is an indication of a possible electrical issue, possibly a damaged fuse box or main relay. Land Rovers are notorious for having these issues after about 15...
Air bags were not mandatory in vehicles until 1998 in the United States. You would see an air bag light come on the dash and then go out when you first turn on the key if you were equipped with...
If your vehicle is new, it will need to be broken in as the engine and brakes get their first work. Breaking in your vehicle can greatly improve its health and lifespan. There are a few different things you should...
Hello - both the overheating and the lack of heat out of the heater could be caused by inadequate bleeding of the cooling system when you put coolant in the car. To get all the air out of the system...
What you are describing may be a result of a faulty speed sensor, potentially low transmission fluid or a even a faulty transmission control solenoid. As your vehicle travels down the road, the computer analyzes data being sent by vehicle...
If the vehicle is in gear and acceleration of the engine does not produce forward movement, there is likely something wrong with the transmission and/or the torque converter. The origin of the fault could be electrical or mechanical. There is...
Hello, typically when brakes are vibrating, there is usually something mechanically wrong like warped rotors, loose wheel bearings or worn tie rod ends. Checking the tie rod and wheel bearings is easy. The vehicle must be jacked in the air...
The problem sounds like you may be losing spark signal to the ignition system. When the engine will not start you need to verify you are losing spark. If it is then you most likely have a failed ignition module...
This is a classic noise when brakes are due to be serviced. The fact that you only hear it at low speeds only means it isn't very loud as of yet. The brake dust on the rear wheels is normal...
