Hello. As the hybrid drive system on a CT200H is newer, it will be more refined and efficient. The HS250 is also an excellent hybrid, which held the title for most fuel efficient luxury vehicle, until it was replaced by...
Hi there - there are a couple of possible problems here to cause such a vibration - a bad CV joint or CV axle on the driver side, or a failed motor mount that is allowing the engine to twist...
Hello. It sounds like the starter relay might be bad and is causing the starter to stay on, which is the clicking noise that you are hearing. There could also be a problem with the starter solenoid. The problem you...
There are a couple issues but the usual deal killer is the incompatibility of the engine computers. Your existing engine computer is mapped to run a particular engine and unless every sensor output from the existing engine has identical scaling,...
It sounds like you may be having an issue with your powertrain control module. The powertrain control module is the computer that controls your engine and transmission. Based on the error readings that you have given, it sounds like the...
As you may know, there are a multitude of engine oils on the market all claiming to be the "best" and prolonging the life of your car's engine. One of the main questions you will be asked when changing your...
I would highly recommend a pre purchase inspection from your trusted automotive technician. Typically I look for wreck damage, body lines matching up, orange peel in the paint (signs of paint repair), frame damage or rusting, warning lights on the...
It's true that you have no CV joints in your Crown Victoria, instead it uses a live rear axle, also called a solid rear axle. You are most likely hearing the sway bar bushings in the front rattling and squeaks...
The front crank shaft damper is on a key way and it should not matter if the engine moved when loosening or tightening the damper harmonic balancer. The camshaft will move in and out a little bit and this is...
This is tough to diagnose without more info, however it could be potentially some things like a faulty mass air flow sensor or throttle position sensor. Either of these two parts will have a negative impact on fuel/air flow which...
There are probably a few other devices that run off that same circuit. check your owner's manual and see what else there may be. If the fuse blows without you blowing the horn, then it is probably not the horn...
Hi Greg. Most of the time, these symptoms are indications of a serpentine belt that is wearing out quickly and eventually will break. This could also be a different drive belt or the pulley's that are in need of replacement....
P0172 means too much fuel or, conversely, too little air, is being supplied and thus the air fuel ratio is sub-optimal. Other causes of this code setting, that are not reflected in your list, include a dirty mass air flow...
A rough idle often times is related to an engine misfire. Engine misfires can be caused by many different problems and are generally caused by either a spark or fuel issue or in some cases, a combination of both. Spark...
As you may know, in cold weather many oils do not move quite as fast as they do in warm weather. The tapping noise you are hearing is likely the result of the motor oil taking longer to get to...
Try to rotate the tires to see if the noise changes on your 2004 Ford E-350 Econoline. I have had many noises caused by uneven tire wear, alignment issues, or lack of tire rotations. You already replaced all the other...
On this vehicle, the fuel tank has to be completely removed from the vehicle to access the fuel pump. The fuel pump is held in a retainer that is mounted in a large access hole at the top of the...
You need to check for battery voltage on the red wire to the coil with the key in the on position and then check the same wire when you go to the crank position. If either one is not as...
Hello: Sorry, but we can't supply this information for you. First, we don't know what model of Isuzu you have, and second; we don't know what type of sensors you're referring to. Most modern cars have well over 20 of...
If you are certain all fuses are good/tight, grounds are good and all bulbs are correct in voltage for the vehicle, I have a suggestion from personal experience with a MK 5 Jetta sitting right outside. Make sure the front...
Hi there. With newer diesel engines and the advanced timing systems they have, the importance of fully functional glow plugs once the motor is lit is less important. However, as the weather gets colder, starting a diesel engine with the...
I would suggest check to be sure the Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor is working properly. The symptoms you are describing are very common when this fails. As you may know, this regulates the flow of air into the engine allowing...
