Hello. An idling issue can be caused by many different parts on your car. I would need to know if this occurred before you replaced all of these parts or if it occurred right after. If it was after then...

Hi there. Check the ignition system to see if the spark plugs have wet fuel on them. If they have fuel on them, then check to see if the spark plug wires are good and have any burn spots. Check...

Cars basically use the battery at start up. Once the vehicle is running the alternator takes over and provides the car with the electricity it needs to run. If the alternator stops producing the electricity the car needs, the car...

Hi and thanks for contacting Your Mechanic. Take a look at the coolant temperature sensor for proper output voltage with the harness plugged in. If the voltage is spiked when the engine is started, then the sensor needs replaced. If...

Hi there, thanks for writing in. You can use the same bucket seat out of any GM truck whether it is a GMC or Chevrolet from the years of late 1989 all of the way up to 1998. This can...

Hi Kay. Thanks for the question today. Typically, when the car leans to one side more than another, it's an indication of faulty or worn struts, strut mounts or other vehicle suspension components. The AC issue could be a faulty...

This may be related to a dirty or failing idle air control valve. The idle air control valve reads the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the engine at low speeds and at...

I have seen this issue before. This is usually caused by a regulator that is broken. The regulator is the mechanism the window is attached to. It is what actually makes the window go up and down. If the regulator...

You will need to check the caliper slides are not binding and are lubed properly. If okay then with wheel off see if rotor is binding and then open the bleeder on the caliper to see if it releases the...

Hi there. It sounds like the lighting system has feedback through another circuit. This could be due to a short circuit, open circuit, missing/failed ground point, corroded ground point, corroded connector, loose connector, or relay block faults. With the age...

What you are describing sounds like a failing CV joint. A CV (Constant Velocity) joint is a shaft that connects the transmission to the wheels, essentially transferring the power from the drive train directly to the wheels. The CV joint...

Hi Danny. A professional mechanic would start by downloading all OBD-II trouble codes, as this would lead them to a bank (or side of the motor) where the faulty injector is faulty. They would then inspect each one till they...

The first thing you'd want to do is check the transmission and motor mounts. They all work together. Your vehicle is 14 years old and odds are that the mounts are worn. That's a common thing that happens with your...

It sounds like your headlight circuit has a short to power. This will cause the system to activate without the use of the switch. The most common cause of an issue like this would be a fault in the switch...

Hello. The wheel spacers are what is causing this. Once you change the placement of the wheels like this, it changes the geometry of the suspension which causes it to act like this. If there are any worn out parts...

There is a cooling fan relay fuse in the fuse box that controls the relay switch. This can sometimes fail which will cause the relay to work intermittently causing the fans to also work intermittently. I would recommend checking and...

This is not one of the services that can be done on a mobile service call due to complexity of the service needed.

When either of your two front tires are low on air pressure, this will cause the steering to be tough to steer depending on how low the air pressure is. Less air in the tire creates more drag on the...

Hi - your "low suspension" may be a leaky air bag, pressure check valve, bad air pressure sensor, or blown fuse or relay for the air compressor. Weather changes to cold weather causes air contracts (actually shrinks somewhat), but your...

Hi there. Have you checked for any problem codes, whether the Check Engine light is on or not? Those codes, if any, will expedite accurate diagnosis and lower cost to repair. I would check the fuel pump relay. The...

Fuel supply faults are a possible cause of stalling as are vacuum leaks and faults with engine sensors. On the Hummer it has been reported that faults with the throttle body commonly cause stalling and consequently that might be a...
