Idling too fast can be caused by several things. But bottom line is that too much air is getting into the intake manifold. Manifold vacuum leaks are a common cause. Do a visual inspection to check for any vacuum hoses...
Hello, thank you for writing in. You will want to find out why the coolant is empty. However for the moment, you need to treat the stall and no start situation separately from the lack of coolant issue. Chances are...
Engine oil pressure may go lower after an engine gets warm. You should have the oil pressure checked with a gauge tester to verify the oil pressure is within specification. If it falls to below specification, then you should replace...
It's possible you may have disturbed a vacuum hose while you were doing the job, check for that first. But I'm concerned about the valves because If you get the valve clearance too tight, it may develop a miss at...
Hello there. It sounds like you have a few things going on. If there is no power to the DLC connector, then the code readers are not able to read codes stored in the ECU. The most common cause of...
Hello. This is a safety mechanism that will not allow you to shift without having your foot on the brake. This is a pin down in the console attached to the shift lever that doesn't allow the shifter to be...
Hey there. You might be able to drive the car indefinitely at low speeds, say 35 MPH or below. However, if you are truly seeing that the tire/wheel assembly is out of position, the tire will be quickly destroyed, regardless...
Hello. The daytime running lights are not supposed to function at the same time as the headlights. The daytime running lights are only supposed to come on during the day, to provide additional visibility for daytime driving, independently of the...
IIt looks like you have trouble codes from an import vehicle like an Audi or Mercedes Benz. I cannot decipher these codes without more information like the year make and model of the vehicle. Consider hiring an experienced technician like...
There are usually two different issues that cause the engine to stall or reduce RPM in situations like this. The first thing I'd look at is the idle control valve or sensors that monitor the fuel system. The second item...
Hi, thanks for writing in. I would start with checking things such as the O2 sensor and mass airflow sensor. You should have a check engine light on which should have registered some fault codes in the computer indicating parts...
Hopefully, you won’t experience this particular situation, but if you drive long enough, chances are good that you’ll eventually have a flat. Knowing what to do will help you deal with the situation quickly and easily. Here are the steps...
The engine may fit but you would have two totally different wire harnesses, computer systems, theft systems, transmission controls, and sensors on the engines. They are all very different so anybody attempting this would have a very hard time getting...
A starter cannot ruin the engine. The most likely cause of this issue is that the mechanic misdiagnosed the issue and that the engine was actually hydrolocked in the first place. I would recommend Consulting with them to determine if...
Hi, thanks for writing in. Usually when your tire pressure monitoring system has an issue, it is due to one of the sensors in the wheels. If it is not due to one of the sensors in the wheels I...
I would ask for help from a mechanic. Possibly from YourMechanic. They can come to you and diagnose why your car is overheating and recommend what repairs are needed.
Hey there. This is most likely related to the transmission control module or one of the many different components that feed information to the module which controls many different functions of the transmission. A faulty transmission control module may...
