Hi there. First check the fuse box for any blown fuses. Then check the relays to see if any of the lights relay are activating. If the relays are activating, then you will need to check the wiring harness to...
Hello! That is a problem that several owners of the 350Z have faced. I personally have repaired three 350Z windows, and all three had a malfunction of the driver's side window; in each case, the cause was the driver's side...
While adding sea foam and replacing the fuel filter are very good services for your truck, I wouldn't expect them to fix your issue. Usually, this is a sign there is something binding in the drive train or wheels. There...
The problem sounds like the transmission torque convertor is not inserted all the way into the transmission. If you try and force it you will damage the transmission. You need to spin and push in the torque convertor until it...
Based on the information you provided. Your crankshaft position sensor is the most likely cause of your concern. You may also see a p0339 code which is also a crankshaft position sensor code. I recommend having a certified professional inspect...
Hi there. It sounds like the clutch is slipping; similar to when an automatic transmission slips. The clutch disc provides the friction surface that allows the transfer of engine torque to the transmission. It accomplishes this by riding on the...

Hi there - the brake and clutch hydraulics share the same fluid reservoir, so if the reservoir is at the correct level - low fluid is not your clutch problem. This could be a failure of the pilot bearing as...
It's possible that the water pump that was installed is faulty. The best way to determine this is to use a mechanic's stethoscope and use it on different areas of the engine to determine where the sound is coming from....
This may be a sign of a faulty MAP sensor. The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor senses engine load and generates a signal that is proportional to the amount of vacuum in the intake manifold. The engine computer then uses...
Hi there, thanks for writing in. Most truck lock cylinders can only be accessed by removing the rear seats, the trunk cover and crawling inside the trunk or contacting a locksmith to unlock the trunk from the outside. As far...
Hello. It would first be necessary to pinpoint where the leak is coming from by doing a power steering system check. Once the origin of the leak is found that component would need to be replaced. I recommend having a...
Hi there. Thanks for the picture. Unfortunately, it doesn't give us enough data to tell you what line is damaged, where it connects or which coolant lines you'll have to replace. Your best bet if you wish to complete this...
The door actuator, motor control and/or circuit components (wiring, relay, etc.) are faulty. To resolve this, a circuit trace is performed. In other words, the circuit is powered on to open/close the door and the point of the interruption is...
The STS mechanic may not be as qualified as a Dodge trained mechanic. I cannot be sure but most if not all oil change only places do not employ master mechanics. I can understand the reasoning for the gaskets, hoses,...
