Look to see where the exhaust sound is coming from and determine if the manifold is cracked or if the gasket is burned. If the exhaust leak is coming from where the wide pipe under the car connects to the...
I usually say gasoline instead of petrol. But I like a gasoline engine more than diesel ones. I'm not a diesel fan and here is the reason, diesels all smell to some extent and they put out a lot of...
The actual fuel pressure and volume should be measured. Be sure the gas is not older than three months. You do have an OBD-II diagnostic system, so check for diagnostic trouble codes and a real time scanner would help pinpoint...
It is very possible that your starter relay could be the issue. I would of course recommend that this is done by a professional, but you can try to jump the two electrical points on the starter relay with a...
Your tires provide you with traction, stability and performance on the road. Of course, they wear out over time and you’ll need to replace them eventually. It’s very important that you replace them with the right size tires, and that...
Sounds like your Crown Victoria is having a hard time. While being able to turn over but not start is one thing, overheating is another. Overheating in a car is never a good thing. When engine temperatures reach that...
Hi there. Yes, the sensor, along with the dependent systems, require what is called a "zero point" calibration when it is replaced. The dealership does not have to be the entity that performs this calibration. However, it is dependent upon...
I watched your video and unfortunately it doesn't give me the information I need. I do like the initiative though. In the future, which will be hard to record, I need to hear what the motor sounds like in the...
Sometimes a battery can be so badly undercharged that it wont even take a jump, and if its around 3-5 years old its probably just that. Have a certified mechanic take a look at it, it might only need a...
Hi there. There is no fuel pump relay reset switch, just a fuse. If the fuel pump is not working, first check the fuel pump fuse to see if its blown. If the fuse is good, then check the power...
Hello - check first for problem codes, whether the Check Engine light is illuminated or not. The change in rough running behavior when you press the brake pedal may indicate a failed brake booster. A ruptured diaphragm in the booster...
If the noise started immediately after your new starter was installed, the noise may relate to the installation and/or the starter might be defective. Normally, the supplier warrants the part, and labor, so you should check to see if there...
Hi there: In most instances, if the brake pads have not fully worn out, the rotors will not suffer scarring or pitting which typically means the rotors need to be surfaced or replaced. However, it really depends on the damage...
The automatic climate control feature helps keep you comfortable inside your vehicle. After you input the temperature, the system will automatically adjust the fans and the input mode to keep the cabin at your set temperature. To use the automatic...
I think you meant to say that the engine's cooling system is leaking, rather than the AC system. Without testing the cooling system, there is no way to tell where the leaks are. The hard starting may not be related...
There are a lot of reasons why your Escape may overheat. If it was the water pump then the pump will either leak or it may have a broken impeller that will cause poor coolant flow. The first place to...
The air intake has two available settings: outside air (air from outside the vehicle is used), and recirculated air (air from inside the vehicle is recirculated). To turn on the recirculated air, press the Recirculated Air button on the climate...
The coolant in the engine cooling system requires it to be circulated from the radiator to the water pump, thermostat, engine, and then back to the radiator. If the radiator hoses to and from the radiator are cold, then you...
Hi Eddie. Thanks for contacting us today. Typically, if the oil pressure sensor 'hole' was stripped, it needs to be retapped as the correct repair solution. While some mechanics use Teflon tape or other materials to help fix this, eventually...
I would ask for help from one of the mechanics at YourMechanic. They can come to you and check your air conditioning system and fan belt to see what is causing your problem. Once the problem has been diagnosed, they...
I would first get a quote for all the repairs needed after a thorough complete inspection of all major systems. Get quotes on all the problems including replacing the transmission and rack and pinion. Once you have a price for...
The vibration still sounds like it could be coming from a worn engine or transmission mount. You may be able to do a simple check by engaging the parking brake and putting the vehicle in drive and blipping the throttle...
Yes, from what you describe it would appear that the ABS module may be having an issue. The flashing light indicates that a problem has occurred, and that the ABS system is disabled. The vehicle should still brake and stop...
