If the starter motor does work and the engine cranks at adequate RPM, be sure there is adequate fuel in the fuel tank and that the fuel is not old. Download any OBD-II trouble codes that have been stored and...

Hello. I would verify to check that the fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure sensor on your vehicle are in proper working order. Any problems with those can set off the P0089 code. If those check out, I would move...

Hello there. Many different items can cause a lack of power intermittently such as this. The most common would be the spark plugs, wires, fuel pump, fuel filter, vacuum leak, exhaust leak or oxygen sensors. Since there are many potential...

Since the noise appears to occur while turning, I would have your mechanic check for a loose or failing accessory drive belt (often called a 'serpentine" belt). Turning puts more load on this belt, and it may be slipping. A...

If you can write back in with the exact Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that Autozone downloaded for you, we can give you a more precise answer. For want of that detail, if you are referring to the "engine cooling system...

I believe what happened was that the technician who replaced your brake pads may have not done one or both of two things: replace the rotors or road tested the vehicle. Since you did not mention it, I assume that...

Hello, It sounds like you may have a faulty MAP sensor that may be creating an adverse signal to the change in engine load. The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor senses engine load and generates a signal that is proportional...

Generally, a little air will pass through. But the thing is, the idle air control valve controls your idle speed. If that is shut, you are not going to get enough air bypass and the car will idle low enough...

It is possible that the rear brake calipers have seized up in your vehicle. That would cause a squeaking noise and the replacement of the entire rear brakes. I would ask for help from one of the mechanics at YourMechanic...

Hi there. Thanks for writing in about your 2005 Ford Mustang. This could potentially be a faulty fuel pressure sensor or possibly also a bad mass air flow sensor causing an imbalance in the air-fuel ratio. You should have the...

Hi there. This step is designed to maintain forward brake pressure on the pedal to reduce the potential of air bubbles from seeping into the master cylinder and causing additional problems with bleeding brakes. However, since you need to completely...

Hi Brett. Thanks for contacting us today. Typically, when you've replaced the fuel injectors, plugs and wires, and still getting a single cylinder misfire, it's going to be related somehow to the ECU. Either a trouble code is stuck or...

Make sure the engine is at operating temperature. Then you need to set the idle stop on the throttle body to the lowest setting, unless it is already there. Then to fully extend the IAC, jumper ALDL pins A and...

Hi there. It is very possible that the rattling noise is an exhaust bracket that has come loose which might be the source of the rattle noise. If your vehicle doesn't shake, vibrate or is having any negative driving symptoms,...
