It's difficult to say without inspecting the vehicle firsthand just what the noise is. A worn or damaged wheel bearing will make a rotational growling noise that often gets worse when turning. To check for a bad wheel bearing, lift...
The camshaft position sensor itself, for your application, costs at most $30 if you buy it using the usual 30% off coupon(s) at the national auto parts chains. Even if you pay full fare, that is buy the genuine OEM...
If, by chance, the fuel has been in the fuel tank "for a while", it won't burn, at least not in an engine. So, the first thing to consider is the age of the gas. The plugs do have to...
Like all other drivers and passengers, pregnant women need to buckle up while on the road. Of course, it’s important that they wear the seat belt correctly, or they could injure themselves or their child. Here’s how to wear it...
Hi there. The serpentine belt rides on a variety of pulleys, as well as the tensioner. Each of these "rotating elements" has a grease filled bearing, typically ball bearings. Over time, the high heat of the engine causes the...
It is not uncommon for windows in Honda’s to come off their track. The doors are fairly light and are subject to being slammed shut sometimes a bit harder then they should. I myself own a Honda and have been...

Hi there. If the shop replaced a bad sensor then they should have cleared the code. Disconnecting the battery may do it, but the proper way to do it is with a scan tool. I would typically scan the computer...
The catalyst inside of the converter can break away and cause rattling noises in the exhaust, especially on acceleration. Over time the catalyst material can break apart and cause partial plugging of the exhaust. If the catalyst is no longer...
You have one of two different problems. Your key is worn too much and will not engage the tumblers enough to unlock the ignition lock cylinder. If the key is not worn out then your ignition lock cylinder is binding...
The first thing you want to do is, whenever your dimmer switches, check that. A lot of times, dimmer switches burn out and they will do exactly that. You want to pray it's that, because if it's not that, you...
The first thing to try is to put in new batteries in the key FOB and see if this helps. If it does then replace batteries in all extra keys also. If it still has issues then you may have...
