Hi Aiden. Thanks for contacting us tonight. With nearly 250,000 miles on your Nissan Altima, it's quite possible that an inner transmission seal is leaking, causing the shifting issues you are experiencing. It's also possible that you simply have contaminated...

The engine may fit but you would have two totally different wire harnesses, computer systems, theft systems, transmission controls, and sensors on the engines. They are all very different so anybody attempting this would have a very hard time getting...

If you think you have water in your fuel, then you would have one of two problems. You would have a misfire and a rough running engine if there is some water in the fuel but not enough to keep...

To clarify, the year (1978) of the Chevy Suburban in question you are asking about refers to some EFI terms that a vehicle of this year would not have otherwise come with from the factory. The answer below assumes this...

If it's coolant that is leaking inside and outside of the car, then the heater core in your dash likely has a leak. This would also account for the smoking from the vents or under the car. You should have...

You probably should have changed the struts in pair at least because now you have an original strut on one side and a replacement strut on the other. The two might be slightly different in construction even if they seem...

This may suggest the transmission synchros may be wearing out. Your transmission has small gear synchronizer rings that help to move the transmission in and out of the various gears. When these begin to wear out, you may notice it...

The brake light switch or interlock solenoid are the possible causes of your problem. The brake light switch may be malfunctioning and not turning on the brake lights or disengaging the shift interlock. I suggest having a certified mechanic, such...

Hello. The daytime running lights are not supposed to function at the same time as the headlights. The daytime running lights are only supposed to come on during the day, to provide additional visibility for daytime driving, independently of the...

Did you check the sway bar pivot bushings, specifically where the bar goes through the bushings? The bushings may be bad or dried out causing binding. If the sway bar is okay then check the upper and lower control arms...

The anti-theft system may be experiencing a fault, and in most cases, will store a code pointing to the problem component. Your symptoms are also close to those of a failing starter assembly. In this case, the vehicle may start...

Hi there. Typically a transmission fluid flush and filter change would resolve these type of symptoms. However, it is possible that an inner seal is damaged, that may have been pushed out during the fluid flush. It's probably a good...

Hi there. This is very odd, as typically when a mechanical component is damaged, the vibration or rattle will progressively increase as you accelerate. In most cases, a tire / wheel out of balance will cause this type of vibration,...

The coolant leak can only be pinpointed after an inspection but a leaking hose in that location would not be unusual. Coolant leaks can sometimes be either a cause, or a consequence, of overheating. Be sure not to drive the...

It sounds like the facility that performed your oil change may have forgotten to refill the motor with oil after draining the old oil. If there were no signs of visible smoke, smells or oil leaking anywhere, it is quite...

Hi there. This is commonly due to the brake light switch failing. The shifter locks itself in park until the brake is applied. If the circuit does not detect you applying the brake then it locks in park. Most of...

This may be a sign of a faulty MAP sensor as the vehicle responds adversely to a load put on the motor (i.e. putting it in gear or engaging the brakes). The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor senses engine load...

Overheating can damage the engine coolant temperature sensor which is an important sensor at start up because it sends a signal to the PCM to enrich the mixture. Overheating can also damage the cooling system thermostat although a damaged thermostat...

Hey there. This is most likely related to the transmission control module or one of the many different components that feed information to the module which controls many different functions of the transmission. A faulty transmission control module may...

Hi Destiny. I can forward your inquiry to our service and sales department, but can't supply emails through this platform. Here is what these codes indicate. P1135 and the P1130 indicates that the Bank 1 Sensor 1 (the one on...
