From the information provided on your Jeep Liberty, it leads me to believe that the problem may actually lie with the transmission and not with the fuel filter. After shifting into gear, if there is a delay in the engagement...

Hello. The best thing to do is have a battery shop perform a "load test" on the battery. That is very standard procedure. The battery has to be in a fully charged state (they can do that, too) before such...

This may be related to a number of different things, but depending on the year, make and model of the truck it could be related to a faulty throttle position sensor or a dirty or faulty idle air control valve....

Hello, thank you for writing in. Both of the diagnostic troubleshooting codes that you have pulled from the computer relate to the vehicle intake air temperature sensor. The MAP sensor does play a large role in the way the vehicle...

From your description, it sounds as though the engine is turning over, but it will not start and run. This particular year of F-150 with the 5.0 had many possible causes of a no-start. The distributor ignition module and starter...

Even though the rims are different sizes the two tires are very close in size for height and width and will not cause any issues using them. You do not need to have an alignment since this is for the...

Your car’s audio system is equipped with an anti-theft device designed so that if it were stolen, a thief wouldn’t be able to use it. It’s based on a vehicle-specific code that must be programmed into the audio system after...

If you scan the computer and monitor the crankshaft and camshaft sensors, you will see one of them not working properly to send a signal that the computer will use to make the coils send a spark. You will not...

The lower intake manifold gasket you replaced seals both coolant, and oil passages. It is possible that coolant (under higher pressure) is leaking into an oil passage. It is also possible you have a bad head gasket - leaking coolant...

Hi Kyle. Thanks for contacting us tonight. Yes - what you are describing is a very serious issue - especially since this is a drive axle. It's possible that you have a broken axle or hub - which should be...

If the head and block are perfectly flat (not warped), the cost will be limited to the cost of a top end gasket set, new head bolts (they are not re-usable) and roughly 6 hours of labor to remove and...

The problem is unlikely related to spark plugs or a capacitor. I would recommend having your battery tested, and replaced, if necessary. After your battery is replaced, your throttle should be relearned with a professional scan tool. There is also...

Hi Walter. Thanks for contacting us today. We're not quite clear as to the issue you're having with your Chevrolet. If the car is starting prior to turning the key forward to the starter position, then it's a fault with...
