It is possible the valve lifters are starved of oil due to a failure in the rocker arm. There are reported cases where the rocker dowel pins shear off. A direct consequence of that is oil starvation as the oil...

Hello, thanks for writing in about your Volkswagen Passat. You should scan the engine computer to see if you are getting a misfire code for one of the cylinders. From what you've described you may have a defective coil or...

The frame and/or suspension components have been damaged. To determine which will require some measurements and inspection. If all the damage is suspension related, that is assuming none of the sub-frame is damaged or the suspension mounting bosses, it is...

You may have a failing voltage regulator that could be allowing the alternator to supply too much or too little amperage to the battery resulting in the battery never maintaining a consistent charge as it is designed to. The voltage...

Hello, thanks for writing in. If the flexplate was changed within the last year, then I would usually start by isolating that area of the noise. This noise can occur if the bolts are coming loose. If they are fine...

There are a number of "switch connections" that all have to be successfully closed/connected in order for the fuel pump relay to be energized. These include: whatever security mechanism may allow/disallow a "Start" sequence, the ignition switch itself, a Neutral...

Check the voltage at the battery terminals for 12 volts at rest. While cranking the voltage shouldn't drop very much, about 10 volts. Jump the vehicle and observe the voltage while it's running. If the voltage isn't above 13.5 volts,...

Hi Tyler. It's very difficult to determine a part name without seeing it. Unfortunately, since we can't have images attached through this platform, it's also hard for us to review it. One thing you could do perhaps is to take...

Code P0327 stands for knock sensor bank 1. Some of the common causes for this code are: a problem at connector C627 or C636, a problem with the power train control model (PCM) or a problem with the knock sensor...

If your radiator was leaking, there are good chances that your engine overheated. Not knowing the vehicle history on the frequency of oil changes can make it difficult to diagnose over the internet. Oil changes should be performed every 3,000...

The blue smoke coming out of the exhaust is an indication that the motor is burning excessive oil. The Mazda 3 engines are known for this. When the valve seals become worn this can cause oil to seep into the...

A possible reason the car is not shifting well now is the transmission fluid is at the wrong level, in addition to the transmission fluid being contaminated with engine oil. First, check the level and see if the level is...

Hello. If the noise is coming from under the valve cover I am certain there is an internal engine problem in the cylinder head. The easiest way to test engine internals is by performing a compression test. However, a compression...

Hi there. Given the description of not being able to start your vehicle, when it is cold and jump starting the vehicle without any problem. This leads me to believe the battery does not have enough cold cranking amp capacity....

Hi there. Typically, when a brake booster fails, the result is a hard to push brake pedal. The pressure release you hear is engine vacuum and may be normal considering, the brake pedal travels to the floor. With no apparent...

There is no code P07444 and only P0704 for this vehicle. The code is for a shift solenoid malfunction in the transmission and will need to have the transmission serviced to test the circuit to see if the solenoid is...
