It is a possibility that the engine performance issues may have been caused by a problem when it putting the pieces back together, however, the trouble codes seem to point to different issues. Both codes are related to the oxygen...
Hello there. This is not uncommon at all. The most likely causes would be the start button, ignition switch, starter, battery, or a wiring issue. Since this is an intermittent issue, your best bet is to try and have it...
As far as I know, those are your only options. You might be able to use the one out of a Saturn Vue, but I can't say for certain as the oil pan and mounting points may be different. There...
Hi there. It sounds like you may have one or two concerns here. Does the AC indicator light up when you turn it on? If so, this means that the command for AC is active. If the light flashes, this...
Hello - this problem can be diagnosed by connecting an ammeter to the positive (red) battery cable, observe the current drain (likely less than 1 amp), then, one at a time, remove each fuse, check to see if the current...
I can only assume, since you did not note the vehicle, year, make, or model. Every vehicle I have done did not have a different coil for each cylinder and it doesn't matter since all of them are the same...
If noise is suspected from the serpentine belt or belt driven accessories and/or pulleys, just disconnect the belt and momentarily run the engine. If the noise goes away, all components driven by the belt need to be closely examined. If...
You still could have a blown head gasket. Sometimes the compression blows into the radiator. A mechanic can check to see if pressure is pushed into the radiator from the engine having a blown head gasket or a cracked head....
Yes, this can happen from time to time. The entire fuel system will need to be drained and flushed, the fuel filter, which is in the fuel tank as part of the fuel pump, may need to be changed. The...
You should not replace any parts, at all, unless the part is diagnosed as not functioning. ECU's rarely fail (fully 50% of warranty returns on ECU's have absolutely nothing wrong with them). If there is a spark at the plug...
Hello. An EGR valve that is intermittently failing will cause the Check Engine Light to turn off and on. If the code is for the EGR valve and the voltages to the valve are correct, then the EGR valve may...
If the white smoke is coming from the exhaust tailpipe, you may have a coolant leak into the exhaust system via a leaking head gasket. If the smoke is in the passenger compartment, that could be due to a leaking...
Hello. Several things can be causing this. Have your battery load tested. Most battery sellers do the load test for free. If it is good, then check the alternator output with a meter on the battery terminals. The meter should...
Power would need to be checked at the bulb connectors to verify the switch and fuse is working something any certified mechanic could do, if there is no power I would check the fuse, if there is power its most...
There can be a variety of reasons as to why your Mazda Millenia will crank but not start. We can eliminate the starter and battery as a concern, since we know from the description that it cranks, therefore I would...
Removing the water pump on your vehicle is a 6 hour job and consequently involves pages of procedures, torque specifications, and a lot of detail. Due to the amount of time involved, it is not worth it re-installing the old...
The cooling system that is leaking and over 13 years old could be most any component in the system. The cooling system will need to be pressure tested to locate the leaks in the system. The radiators and expansion tanks...
Surface coatings (paint, powder coatings, etc.) on brake calipers are not required or recommended. Such coatings have no effect on caliper service life and no effect, positive or negative, on any aspect of vehicle operation. The paint therefore services a...
There is a high failure rate with your particular vehicle's door handles. They are engineered with plastic components that wear out over time and break. Replacing the door handle requires the removal of the interior door panel and air bag units. I...
The starter is the most likely problem with your no crank condition. I would check for proper power getting to the starter main power cable and also a good signal to the small wire at the starter from the ignition...
Check the brake system to see if there is a leak and make sure that the master cylinder is full of brake fluid. If there is no leaks and the master cylinder is full, then there is still air in...
Hi. Replacing parts without diagnosing can get expensive very quickly. The carburetor needs to be adjusted properly before installing (idle screws 3 1/2 turns out, throttle stop barely cracked) and the insulator gasket has to be the correct part. Many...
Since this issue did not present itself until after the replacement of the ignition switch, it most likely was created during the installation or reassembly process. In order to replace the ignition switch, the steering column needs to be lowered....
The Civic 1.6L uses a speed density system to set up ignition and fuel injection. This system monitors intake air temperature, throttle position, manifold pressure, and a few other inputs. Generally a hesitation indicates one or a combination of these...
