The reservoir is going empty due to a blown head gasket most likely. You will need to have the system pressure tested first to make sure the radiator and coolant reservoir is not leaking under pressure. I suggest having a...
Hi There, Depending on the source of the clock's power, this may be related a faulty electrical connection to the clock. This may also be related to a short, a faulty gauge cluster or a faulty instrument cluster voltage regulator....
First I would make sure you replaced the cam sensor on the driver's side of the engine. This is bank 2. Now you have a noise in the motor, and it is rattling and running rough. I would point you...
Hi there. There could be an issue with the fuel injectors, fuel pressure regulator, or the spark plugs. Check the spark plugs and see if they are wet with fuel. Black smoke is a sign of excessive burning fuel. Check...
If you have an active oil leak and cannot determine where it is coming from then the easiest way to determine where the oil leak is coming from is to have the entire engine cleaned and then add an oil...
It’s a smart safety precaution to inspect your seat belts every few months. It’s important to notice any potential damage to a seat belt early on, so that you can get it replaced. Even if a seat belt appears to...
There are no common issues that would cause this problem - especially with the relatively low mileage. I recommend testing the computer for codes causing the stalling you have. If the computer sees the stall, it should set a code...
The variable valve timing solenoid is mounted in the front of valve cover near the front of each valve cover near timing chain location in front of the motor.
Hi there. In order to offer any mechanical advice or answer your question, we need a bit more information, including the year, make and model of vehicle and any symptoms you're having. Thanks.
Hello....used car repair, maintenance, and restoration costs are highly dependent on the actual, as found, condition of the vehicle. To get a reasonably precise estimate, and also to protect yourself in the transaction, I recommend you request a pre-purchase vehicle...
This may be related to a couple of different possibilities. You may have a faulty starter relay or possibly a bad ignition starter switch. The starter relay directs power from the battery to the starter solenoid which then engages the...
A few faults can cause the vehicle to have a headlight that remains on. The most common problems include a wiring short to power, switch issue, or the headlight itself. If you'd like to get this fixed and you're tired...
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...
The moon roof tilt is controlled by the moon roof switches, which are directly in front of the moon roof, on the ceiling. To tilt the moon roof open, press the TILT button once. To close the tilt, press the...
Hi there. There are two ways to speed up the vehicle. The first is to replace the output shaft speed sensor in the transmission to sense a slower speed, thus confusing the computer to make the car drive faster. The...
I thought streets are bad in Houston but I guess some places are even worse. It depends on how they are worn out and the car type. Some cars have stronger struts. Take Toyotas for example, they come with pretty...
Hi there. You can change the auto locking hubs to manual locking hubs as long as the parts will fit. Just keep in mind, by replacing the auto hubs with manual hubs, you will have to get out of the...
Hi there. These repairs that were done are fairly normal for this vehicle. It is very common for this car to have issues with these systems with age. I am actually a little surprised that there were not more issues...
Hi there. The fuel pressure needs to be checked on the fuel rail. There should be at least 30 psi on the fuel rail. If the fuel pressure is good, then there could be air in the fuel rail causing...
Hello. This sounds like potentially a failing idle air control valve or potentially a misfire. The idle air control valve regulates the air intake into the engine as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine....
First you want to look for vacuum leaks. Any air that gets into the engine without going through proper channels can cause bad behavior like you describe. Look under the hood for broken or loose vacuum hoses or any large...
Hi there. There is a timing problem with your engine. Check the vacuum advance to see if its advancing when the engine is at a higher rpm. Also check the spark plugs and wires for if they are burned but...
HI there - short answer is "No", there are no black light bulbs which will replace standard automotive 12 volt sockets. Black lights are a form of fluorescent bulbs, which require transformers, and come as a "long tube" bulb. Custom...
