Hi there. It's common for rear suspension components to wear out over time, which can cause a clunking noise including a loose or damaged strut, rear stabilizer bar or lower control arm that is damaged. I would recommend having a...
With a fully charged battery, if the pump volume and pressure at the tank outlet is normal, but pressure falls off at the delivery point (carburetor, fuel rail), there is a restriction somewhere in the line and/or in the fuel...
Your Turn Signals provide important directional information for drivers behind you as well as those approaching you. They tell other drivers that you’re about to turn, so they can expect to slow down and will begin backing off (it also...
When the heater is being used the heater blower blows air across the heater core to blow heat on the window for you. The heat is supplied by the engine coolant circulating through the heater core. The use will remove...
Hi there. White smoke coming out of the exhaust is an indication that the cylinder head gasket is burned or the cylinder head is cracked. When coolant is in the combustion chamber, then engine will shake, the oil will burn...
Hi there. It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what the brakes need. If the rear brakes need to be replaced then that should be done prior to replacing anything else as you do not want to...
Hi Trey. Thanks for contacting us today. It's quite possible that when the truck bottomed out and hit that railroad track that the yoke or the drive shaft was bent or damaged. That would cause the type of noises you...
This is typically a sign that a bearing has failed inside the water pump. When the bearing fails it allows the shaft that drives the pulley to move around, and is probably what is causing the belt to be thrown....
Hello, thank you for writing in. The suspension and tires are so closely related that an issue with your tie rods would feel like a tire problem. The technician is correct about this would cause a vibration. Did they do...
You may have a low voltage condition in the system or the headlight dash lights are shorted within the cluster. I would suggest having the charging system checked first. Then I would have the system scanned for a cluster problem...
You most likely have a coolant leak into the engine through an intake or a head gasket leaking. If you have water in the oil it may damage the crankshaft bearings if ran too long with the water in the...
Pumping on the gas does not do anything with a fuel injected car. Try just holding gas pedal at 1/4 throttle and see if it starts better? As far as the hard start if coolant went all over engine you...
Hello, and thank you for writing in. Considering the issue only happened once, it may have been a fluke. With temperatures that cold, the engine struggles to regulate fuel and spark until it warms up. When it is that cold,...
You have many different components in the steering that could be causing the clicking noise. You should have a mechanic inspect the noise and verify the cause of the problem is not making the vehicle unsafe to drive. There is...
The ABS light coming indicates a fault in the ABS system. Fault codes should be read out as this will guide the diagnosis. Possible causes for the ABS light coming on and off is a possible loss in wheel speed...
Hello. If the engine is not cranking then it may be a battery or a starter. I would usually do a load test on the battery to make sure it is fine. If the battery is fine then I move...
I think you may have a tempermental electrical connection. Maybe in the power distribution box or in the car's ignition switch. You could try looking at the battery terminals or the fuse panel for any apparent corrosion, but you might...
Hi there. There are some times when an electrical glitch or error code is stored in the ECU that will trigger "odd" electrical problems like you've listed in your question. The best way to determine why this is happening is...
Hi there. It really depends on what type of car you have and where you live. If you live in one of our service areas in the United States, one of our mobile mechanics can come to your location and...
I'm curious if your Check Engine Light on. It sounds like there may be an issue with either the throttle position sensor offering false readings to the computer or there's an issue with the reaction of the throttle plate. There...
Hello! If your engine is emitting blue smoke from the exhaust the problem will probably be some form of internal engine damage or wear. More than likely it will be worn valve guides or piston rings. Both of which will...
