Hi There, Unfortunately without a bit more information as to the make and model of your vehicle, it may be tough to diagnose. What you are describing sounds like potentially a fuel pressure problem in the case of a fuel...

Generally, the check engine light comes on when something fairly serious is going on with the vehicle. This can happen for many different reasons such as a faulty mass air flow sensor, a faulty O2 sensor, a bad catalytic converter,...

Exhaust leaks are bad news and it's great that you are on this and getting it repaired. In the repair of my own cars, that "issue" is perhaps the number one that I have been most vigilant about (because CO...

Hello. These lights can mean that there is a serious issue going on or that there may be an electrical malfunction. I usually check and see if there is oil pressure and check to make sure that the charging system...

It sounds like you have an electrical fault, an oil leak, and also a noise. The repeat fuse failures means there is a short circuit in the circuit the fuse is protecting. That short circuit can be identified and repaired...

It is very difficult to definitively say what the issue is. Have you had the vehicle scanned for diagnostic troubleshooting codes? If not, you should start there. Due to your vehicle being pre-1996, the method of receiving codes will be...

Hi Vanesa. Thanks for writing in tonight about this very odd issue with the Jeep. Generally speaking, when you have constant power being drawn (even if the key is out of the ignition) it's caused by an electrical circuit that...

Hi. A bad fuel pump or clogged filter will keep your car from running, but not from turning over. The low battery might be the reason the car does not turn over. A charged battery will be necessary to properly...

Hello. Thanks for writing in. There a few things we need to clarify before we can begin delving into the issue. First, are we referring to you cooling system and engine fan, or the blower motor fan which is used...

What you are describing is often a sign of low transmission fluid or a faulty transmission control solenoid. As you know, automatic transmissions use pressurized hydraulic fluid to change gears. Every time a gear change is required, the car's computer...

The brake caliper and/or the sliding pins in the caliper bracket, are sticking. Typically, when brakes are refurbished, if the existing calipers have 75,000 or more miles on them, they should be replaced with high quality remanufactured calipers to avoid...

As far as the power window fuse, there is obviously a shorted circuit causing the fuse to pop every time. The components of the system must be inspected by an automotive electrical technician to track down the fault. The stalling...

Hello, thanks for writing in about your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera. If you are loosing fuel pressure after it gets hot then you most likely have a fuel pump that is locking up when it gets hot. The connector to the...

This sounds like potentially a problem with fuel delivery or intake. I would recommend checking the mass air flow sensor to see if it is dirty or faulty as this can cause the hesitation or slowing you are describing. Also...

You most likely have a shift cable that came disconnected from the transmission or shifter lever due to a bad shift cable end bushing. Some cables you can install a new bushing and others you have to replace the cable...

Hello. A knocking sound when braking is most likely from the brake pads moving inside the caliper bracket and the rotors having a warped surface causing the pad movement. The pads may be aftermarket and not fit tight enough in...

Gear shifting issues can be very complicated to diagnose; due to the multiple components that must work together in order to complete the process. It could be as simple as a damaged shim in the shifter, sensor failure or perhaps...

The onboard diagnostic (OBD) system utilizes sensors mounted in the engine exhaust stream to measure the amount of oxygen that comes out of the engine after the combustion process. When an engine intakes a certain amount of air into the...

Hi there. Most of the time this is caused by a key that is worn out or the lock cylinder being worn internally. I usually use some silicone lubricant on the key and in the lock cylinder to get the...

If you have the 4 cylinder engine, the sensor is mounted in a hole in the engine block that is accessible once you remove the right wheel/tire assembly. If you have the 6 cylinder engine, to get to the sensor...

A code scan from a diagnostic tool will aid you in further diagnosing your issue. Coil packs are common issue, and typically replaced all at once. Although these particular coil packs are costly, if one goes bad, then the others...

If your remote keyless entry transmitter is not working properly, it is likely because of one of the following problems: 1. The battery in the transmitter is dead. 2. A key is already in the vehicle’s ignition switch. 3. You...
