Your battery is a critical component – it provides the electric jolt necessary to turn the starter and get your engine running. While it’s designed to last for a long time without much maintenance, there are a few steps you...
While I don't wish to cast stones, it doesn't sound like you have been getting very good advice. A car that doesn't start at all is usually the easiest kind of problem to diagnose. It's the cars that only fail...
This sounds like you may not have any power going to the fuel pump relay. The relay wires should have ground on two wires, power on one wire and switched power on another wire. To activate the fuel pump your...
A car basically needs 3 things to run. Air, fuel, and spark. If one of those is missing the engine will not work. Since we know you are driving air shouldn't be the problem unless you have something clogging your...
What you are describing may be a result of a faulty speed sensor, potentially low transmission fluid or a even a faulty transmission control solenoid. As your vehicle travels down the road, the computer analyzes data being sent by vehicle...
Hello. Though this can be caused by a transmission failure, most of the time it is either caused by a cracked flywheel or a failing timing chain. I usually try to narrow down the location of the noise as that...
With a fully charged battery, if the pump volume and pressure at the tank outlet is normal, but pressure falls off at the delivery point (carburetor, fuel rail), there is a restriction somewhere in the line and/or in the fuel...
Sounds like its almost time for a transmission rebuild. An automatic transmission has rubber seals inside similar to o-rings. These seals get hard over time and no longer do their job. Letting the car heat up also heats up the...
Hi, this comes up often. The most common cause of this is the fuel pump failing. I have also had the control computer fail as well as the fuel pump relay. A mechanic would start by checking for voltage at...
Hello - most likely the neutral safety switch, or its circuit, are malfunctioning. If your dome light also no longer works, there will be a blown fuse that also keeps your neutral safety switch from working. I would recommend having...
Hello there. In order to provide you with an accurate estimate, we need to collect some additional information about your location and your Kia. Please click this link to request a price quote for an engine mount replacement. You will...
It sounds like you may have a weak battery, a failing voltage regulator or failing alternator. As you may know, the alternator charges the battery while the engine runs by generating amperage and recharging the battery while the engine turns...
Hi There, It sounds like you have a weak battery. If the lights dim when you turn the key to start the motor, this suggests that the battery simply does not have the proper cranking power to turn the motor...
Hi Victor. Thanks for sending your question and posting the videos. It sounds as if you've got a rather serious engine knock, likely a damaged intake valve lifter or rocker arms that are loose. Usually, this type of damage occurs...
