Hi there. If the two battery terminals were triggered by the ratchet, it's more likely that the main relay is damaged or a fuse has popped. If the starter will activate, then the issue is most likely due to an...
Hi Beth. Thanks for contacting us today. The battery is responsible for supplying power to initially start the vehicle. However, it's less than likely that a worn battery is the reason why the engine has difficulty starting. In most cases,...
Sounds like you need to take it back to the shop where you had it changed. First you want to be sure it has enough of the correct oil. If it turns out it is properly filled, it may be...
Oil leaks generally will become worse over time. Locations where leaks commonly develop are at the valve cover, oil pan or camshaft and crankshaft seals. The source of the oil leak will need to be located, and then the leak...
Hi Glamy. You really need to have the dealership reprogram the locks and your existing FOB key in order to disable the missing key. That's really the only way to correctly do this.
Diagnostic Trouble Code P0303 means that Cylinder No. 3 is misfiring but the causes of that misfiring can be very varied. The other Code that you probably saw, namely P0304, just refers to the same misfiring but it is occurring...

Hello and thank you for your question. Check the three essentials that an engine needs to run. Check the air, fuel, and spark. If the engine gets fuel and has a good solid pressure, has a good strong spark at...
I would try and have the fuel injectors and throttle body cleaned out. This should clean out injectors and intake valve carbon deposits that can cause the rough idle. If after driving the vehicle, and the CEL comes on, then...
Any improperly sealed or mounted airbox may affect the reading of the mass air flow sensor resulting in the shaking or rough idle you are describing. I would suggest properly securing the airbox and see if that does not fix...
