You will need to have the fuel pressure tested to see if it is too low to open injectors and have injectors cleaned or replaced if cleaning does not get them cleaned.
Hi there - I believe you have a problem with the heater air blend doors. As you know, the lack of heater function could have 5 causes: the engine is not getting up to correct temperature (center of the gauge)...
Hi there. Check under the dashboard around the mounting surface for the steering column and you will see a fuse box. In that fuse box you will find the flasher and a relay. The relay is for the high and...
This sounds like a direct short to ground. The fuses are blowing to protect the battery and vehicle electronics. This needs to be looked at immediately to prevent damage of any other vehicle electronics and damage to the new battery....
The 5.4L Triton V8's are notorious for the ignition coils failing. There is a TSB out concerning these coils. The engine uses a coil over plug setup and while you can read out faults to see which coils have cylinders...
It sounds like you are referring to what is known as the window washer fluid light. This light indicates when the window washer fluid tank is getting low on fluid. During stop and go traffic or when braking, this light...
The A/C drain water may be running down and getting into the transmission solenoid shift connector, causing erratic shifting issues and giving check transmission codes. Ford has come out with Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 9-22-15, dated 11/16/2009. The TSB instructs...
Hello, thanks for writing in about your Honda Accord. Firstly, there is no way to know without looking your engine to check if it has a timing belt or chain. I have worked on a lot of Honda's and most...
Unfortunately, Your Mechanic does not perform engine swaps or replacements. Your best source of information for that may be internet forums that focus on the SIerra. You mat find someone on one of those forums that may have done what...
It sounds like the transmission is mechanically sound if you are experiencing no slippage. You will want to have the transmission fault codes read out to see if there are any issues that could be inhibiting the shifts. Other possibilities...
Hello. It very well can be that solenoid, but that is not too common. Many times this is caused by bad engine or transmission mounts. If they fail, the engine and transmission can move and cause this jump. Since the...
Hello. The throttle position sensor could very well cause the symptoms you describe. Since you have had the fuel supply components checked and replaced, this is the next logical component to suspect. If the throttle position sensor checks out, I...
I don't know what the mileage is on your car, but it may still be under warranty. First thing I would do is call the dealer and find out. I wouldn't recommend trying to figure this out yourself because this...
Yes, you can replace a wheel bearing that is pressed in, however this usually requires a hydraulic press n order to remove and replace the bearing. Alternatively, you may remove the hub and take it to a machine shop or...
Hi. You did not mention if you had an automatic or manual transmission. This can be caused by two different problems. The first cause could be that the transmission mounts allow movement of the transmission and knocks it out of...
The clutch release bearing is the most likely cause of this noise. If so, then the transmission would need to be removed to service it. I recommend having a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, come to you and run...
Hello, From what you describe it appears that whatever problem your vehicle may be experiencing has caused it to go into limp mode. Limp mode is a precautionary mode where the power and speed of the vehicle are severely limited....
I would suggest checking the timing and checking for vacuum leaks. Misfiring is typical when the timing is not accurate as it relays inaccurate orders to your car's ignition system. Vacuum leaks can also cause this as they can create...
Hi there, thanks for writing in about your 2006 Honda Odyssey. If you just paid a dealer to replace the starter, then have that dealer check the problem out again. I have seen rebuilt parts fail soon after replacement. If...
If your engine is going to have to be replaced due to using too much oil, then you may choose to try and use thicker oil. I would not recommend it, but it is your choice. You could go one-step...
The cooling system has two fans on most cars and one works to keep the engine cool with the A/C off and the other comes on when the A/C is on. The leaking fluid may be coolant from the radiator....
Hi there, thanks for writing in about your 2000 Cadillac Escalade. If you overheated the engine until it died, then you may have damaged the engine internally on cylinder number 4. Your water pump is most likely the part leaking....
This may be related to a faulty starter solenoid. The starter solenoid is located on the starter and has internal electrical contacts that transmit electricity to the starter. When this fails, it may cause a clicking sound and will not...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The first step is to see if you can manually switch the transmission into a gear where the gear selector connects to the outside of the transmission. If you cannot, there is an interior...
