If the seal rides on the shaft of the yoke, the yoke would be removed anyway to replace the seal, so there would be no extra labor to install a new yoke were the yoke worn. If the play is...
Hello - yes, I would agree. The neutral safety switch or possibly the brake light switch. If your brake lights work, the brake switch is not the issue. Check then the neutral safety switch. For assistance, I would recommend a...
Hi there. If your power seat is not working it can be 1 of 2 things. Firstly, this can be an issue with the fuse that is connected inline for the power seats to work. Secondly, it can be your...
One of the most common causes of the brake pedal going to the floor is a loss of brake fluid. Generally, this is easy to detect due to the fact that there is usually brake fluid leaking on the ground...
Hello, thank you for writing in. When you hear, feel, or notice any type of issues with the vehicle it should never be ignored. The vehicle may just need some basic maintenance. Consider the last time you had the following...
The blower motor resistor, in the motor speed control circuit, is probably faulty. If your vehicle does not have automatic temperature control, the part that needs to be replaced is relatively inexpensive. If you desire a definitive diagnosis, and replacement...
Hi there. Either the oil pump in the engine has failed and is pushing oil at a lower pressure than the sending unit could register or the sending unit failed. If you need further assistance with your warning lights, then...
Hi there. You would have to drain the engine oil out of the oil pan, put the plug back in the oil pan, and remove the oil pan bolts to take the pan off. Once the pan is off, you...
Hi there. I believe O'reilly's sold you an IAC (idle air control valve) from the description you have given. OEM is the acronym for original equipment manufacturer. Seems odd that it was only fixed for a couple of hours. Sometimes...
Your vehicle has a 3.0 liter engine and has a coil per cylinder. You have a 6 cylinder engine and have 6 coils. You do not need to replace the engine computer.
Hello, With all the parts that were replaced it hard to say what is causing not to run. There are many control unit on cars now that need to be programmed or they won't work correctly. You're probably going to...
If the engine temperature is not abnormally low, then a stuck open thermostat is not likely to be the cause of inadequate cabin heat. Common causes of no cabin heat include malfunctioning blend door(s) (part of the in-dash ventilation network),...
Hi there. The code p0403 is for the EGR circuit that shows it has malfunctioned. The code p0430 is for the catalytic converter showing that its below threshold. Check the harness to the EGR and make sure that all of...
Hello. The DPF functions by trapping certain diesel particulates, and periodically goes through a regenerative cycle to burn those particulates (i.e. when you're on the motorway and get the temperature high enough to regenerate). This is a bit speculative, but...
Without seeing the amount of body damage a proper estimate cannot be given. You will need to seek a auto body shop to get the estimate. We are a mechanical repair service and do not do bodywork.
If transmission will not shift only when it gets warm and shifts perfect when cold then the problem may be in one of the sensors and would require the computer scanned for codes to see if vehicle is going into...
Hello. Thank you for writing in. The vehicle seems to be having a shifting issue. A rattling noise is a bad sign that something has broken off inside of the engine or transmission that is disabling it from shifting correctly....
If a mechanic has already confirmed that the alternator is functioning and the battery is "good", there are a couple possibilities to look into. First, if there is current leakage (that is, parasitic power draw or a phantom electrical load)...
I wouldn't buy a Volvo because I'm not a fan of European cars. They have a tendency to be over-engineered and their parts cost a fortune. They need special computers to work on them. They generally make them so...
This is the transmission shifting out of and back into overdrive. This is normal if you are pressing on the gas to pass someone or to speed up. If you are keeping your foot steady and this is happening, then...
Backfiring can be caused by a number of faults. If the ignition timing is incorrect either by the distributor being out of alignment or a jumped timing chain, backfires can occur. Also, if ignition wires are crossed / incorrect firing...
Hello there, thank you for asking about your 1991 Geo Storm. After your comment about flooding the parking lot with steam, this symptom leads me to believe you may have a failed head gasket. A failure in this seal will...
