Hi Latorus. Thanks for contacting us tonight. Anytime a car overheats, it can cause a tremendous amount of damage to the engine and electrical components (especially if coolant spills under the hood and penetrates sensors or other electrical harnesses). In...

Hello. This may be a sign of a failing throttle position sensor. The throttle position sensor is a sensor used to monitor the throttle position of the throttle plate inside the throttle body in relation to your foot position on...

You will need to have the computer tested to find out what codes are stored in memory and then have those codes tested to find out why the check engine light and EPC light is on. A mechanic like one...

The vehicles suspension system is made up of many components and to keep noise down. Many of them use rubber bushings. The soft rubber bushings do eventually wear out and may cause some misalignment. This may explain the noise while...

Hello. Keys can get stuck in the ignition in several ways. These causes can be electrical or mechanical. If mechanical, the key may be bent. The ignition cylinder can also get dirt and debris stuck inside of it causing a...

Hi there. It seems that the wheel bearings are most likely to be your issue. Even though the wheel bearing seems to be in good shape, it could be dry of grease. Suspension parts and the carrier bearing will not...

Since you mentioned that the motor will eventually start at times, we can assume that it is getting spark. This means that you may have a fuel delivery issue. This may happen due to lack of fuel pressure, a faulty...

Hello - first task is to check the fluid level in your clutch fluid reservoir. This reservoir may be shared with the brake master cylinder - they both use brake fluid. If the fluid level is correct, it sounds like...

The pinging noise may be the a/c mode door actuator motor moving and if it is making a clicking noise then it may be bad and need replaced. For the engine noise this would need to be listened to by...

The function of transmission fluid is to not only lubricate the internal moving parts and get the car moving, but to keep the transmission in it's proper temperature range. Constant driving with a low fluid level will cause the transmission...

It is recommended t replace pads with the new rotors. The old rotors would of put grooves in the pads and caused them to not be flat anymore. If you decide to use the existing pads then you should sand...

Hi there. From the description you have provided, when you turn the steering, the right tire has noise, whenever turning the steering, and needs to be diagnosed. For a problem like this, it could be an axle shaft CV joint...

This may be related to a faulty throttle position sensor or potentially a dirty or failing mass air flow sensor. The mass air flow sensor is a unit in the intake system that monitors air intake as it is mixed...

Hi there. When you wiggle the wires to the kill switch and the gauges start to work, then the contacts inside the switch could be broken. You could replace the kill switch with a toggle switch that will do the...

Hi there - yes, the "D" unit is an updated steering rack ("F" updated models are already available, so the updates continue). However, remember that this is electrically power-assisted, and there is a software component to the equation. If you...

You have a newer type "electro-mechanical" type steering system. Noise is typically a sign of failure so obviously there is something wrong in the steering system. If there is abnormal, marked noise in the steering system, a mechanic would simply...

There are several components that can cause these types of symptoms. Issues that cause poor performance and shaking can be fuel, air, spark, electronic, or mechanical problems. The good news is that the Check Engine Light has come on. This...

Unfortunately, the cause of your concern cannot be determined without visual inspection and further testing. While it is possible that your throttle position sensor may be faulty, it is more than likely that it could be a wheel speed sensor...

Hi there. Take a compression gauge and put it into the spark plug holes and remove all the other spark plugs. Then disable the ignition power to the coils. Then crank the engine over with the throttle open all the...

The WCM (Wireless Control Module) or antitheft system has issues that it is affected by static discharge when you enter the key and it locks you out. The WCM/SKREEM (Sentry Key Remote Entry Module) will need to be replaced with...

Hi there. You’re on the right track. When the belt is off, spin each part by hand and try to reproduce the noise. Use a drill if you are uncertain at slow speeds. Whichever part is noisy, usually needs replaced....

The throttle position sensor is designed to monitor the position of the throttle butterfly valve in relation to the throttle pedal position. If the engine runs rough when it is plugged in and runs fine when it is unplugged, then...

You may have ignition coils that are giving out a weak spark and or failing intermittently causing the misfire. Also a system that is running lean may cause random misfires. have the coils checked for spark output after engine is...
