Hi Natasha. Thanks for contacting us tonight. Anytime you make an aftermarket adjustment to suspension, you should always make corresponding changes to the steering system as well - as they work together and both impact suspension alignment. It's best to...
Without additional information regarding symptoms, this would be very difficult to diagnose. It's not very clear what is happening in this situation. Is the RPM not increasing during idle? is the tachometer not increasing as your car moves? or are...
The most likely cause for these two codes is that the emissions control evaporative canister vent solenoid needs to be replaced. You may also want to check your gas cap to make sure it does not leak; it may be...
I would recommend checking the Kelly Blue Book Value for your car which is relevant to your particular zip code. This should give you an indication of generally what the car is worth. You will of course want to discount...
Hi Kendra, Your idle air control valve as you may know monitors air intake as it enters the engine while the computer uses this info to make adjustments to the air/fuel ratio. When this is dirty or not working properly,...
It is possible the valve lifters are starved of oil due to a failure in the rocker arm. There are reported cases where the rocker dowel pins shear off. A direct consequence of that is oil starvation as the oil...
Flushing car fluids generally refers to having a sealed systems fluid completely replaced usually with the use of a machine that is capable of complete fluid exchange. Systems that are generally flushed in our modern vehicles include the coolant system,...
Depending on how long ago you had the taillights repaired if it was only a month or two you might be covered by the shop's warranty. If its been a while longer it could just be normal wear and switch,...
If you haven't checked all the fuses yet, I suggest checking fuse #26. It powers up the fuel injectors and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). I'm also suspecting the crankshaft position sensor (CKP). That needs to be tested. Listen to...
If you are smelling fuel fumes inside the car then you should not drive the vehicle until the fuel leak is identified and fixed. If you smell the fumes there is a risk of a fire which makes it unsafe...
Hello. For that particular model of vehicle, it would appear that those symptoms are normal. The C55 AMG is equipped with a high compression V8, which is matched with a sporty transmission that will engine brake for you to provide...
Hey there. This sounds like an anti-theft issue which could also be related to the chip in your key not being properly read by the car's computer. I would suggest taking it to the dealer and seeing if they can...
The fuel pump is contained within the tank and so cannot leak. You are probably seeing fuel leaking from a fuel line and/or from the fuel tank itself. There could be a loose fuel line fitting, impact damage (debris from...
Hi there. The 1 - 2 shift accumulator spring has broken and needs replace in the transmission. To do this, drop the transmission oil pan and oil. On the back right side of the transmission on the inside you will...
It sounds like you may have overheated the engine or a head and intake gasket blew out. This would account for the white smoke from the tail pipe. The loss of brakes was most likely due to the engine's loss...
While you have it turned on, try wiggling the wires to the resistor and blower motor to see if you have a poor wire connection. If it still will not come on again, then you may have burned out the...
Hello. I would recommend checking your fuel filter. Fuel filters are designed to have a one way flow. If the fuel filter is installed backwards the fuel will not reach the engine. This will cause the fuel pump to run...
The process to remove the coil does not call for the upper intake to be removed. It calls for the upper trim cover only to be removed. You may have to use a small swivel socket with a short extension...
I am from the deep south and do not see any snow, but have been in areas of heavy snow in my career. My first thought would be that the vehicle rear springs were subjected to being compressed for a...
Hi there. This may suggest a fuel delivery problem such as bad or dirty fuel injectors or potentially a faulty O2 sensor. As you may know, the oxygen sensors which are part of your emissions system read exhaust gases to...
