Hello, thanks for writing in. I'd be happy to provide my insight. The cam position actuator is an engine component that is responsible for phasing the camshafts and altering the timing. It works using oil pressure, so you are good...
A motor needs more fuel to run cold than it does after it warms up. There are number of conditions that can exist that will create this problem. First I will address a few things you mentioned in your question....
Hi, thanks for writing in. I'd be happy to provide you some insight on these trouble codes. Code P0025 relates to the camshaft position sensor detecting that exhaust camshaft is in an incorrect position. This affects ignition timing which can...
Hi there. Unless you have professional EVAP system leak detection equipment, there really isn't much more you can do to isolate or diagnose the source of your EVAP leak or warning light. The one thing we can suggest is to...
I would have to say do not replace the O2 sensors since they are just telling you the system is rich and they see it. You should have the Mass Airflow Sensor and any inlet tubes checked for leaks. Clean...
It sounds like what you are describing may be related to a faulty starter relay or some faulty wiring that may not be producing a proper connection to the starter. The starter relay directs power from the battery to the...
Hello. If your rear power liftgate is no longer functioning, the first thing I would do is check to make sure that the liftgate power button is activated. The button is located on the instrument panel, and displays a picture...
The exhaust is the same except for after the muffler on most of them. The F150 has long and short frames, and I am not sure which one is the same as the Expedition. Your best bet is to get...
There shouldn't be any dangerous materials in the AC system. But it is possible that you have a buildup of dust or even mold. Your car has a cabin air filter that is supposed to keep anything out of the...
Hi there. Your transmission is slipping all of the gears inside and may be due to a broken stator clutch and a broken torque converter. A torque converter that has failed will cause a grinding noise if the stator breaks...
This is likely a problem with something on your starter called a starter solenoid. The starter solenoid is located on the starter and has internal electrical contacts that transmit electricity to the starter. As electricity is supplied to the starter...
I would recommend against doing this. Most vehicle door handles are not compatable from front to back. If you have a junk yard near your location, you can usually get parts such as door handles very inexpensively. I would recommend...
You may also want to check the camshaft position sensor as well as this also helps to control ignition timing as well as fuel injection timing. The camshaft position sensor measures the rotational position of the camshaft and transmits that...
You mention "steam" and interest in installing a new cooling system thermostat but it is not clear from your description if the car is overheating. If the car is overheating, yo can request an engine overheating diagnostic and the responding...
Hello and thank you for contacting YourMechanic. What seemed to happen is either a coolant hose or your radiator blew out coolant. This is why you were seeing steam coming from under the hood and why you saw something leaking...
It can not be determined to be safe by the information given. The amount of fluid leaking out and how fast it leaks out is not given. Also how far the next shop is was not given. If you drive...
The problem may be inside the transmission transaxle assembly bearings or in one of the wheel bearings. I recommend having a mechanic like one from YourMechanic come and diagnose the problem to verify and diagnose the problem. It may even...
There can be a few reasons why your shifter would be jamming up or sticking. The gear selector is apart of the shift linkage controlling what gear you want to enter. Over time, mechanical parts wear naturally and the linkage...

Hi there - with the hood open, face the "nose" of the engine (accessory belt end) from the passenger side of the vehicle. The cam position sensor is behind the timing belt cover on the "nose" of the engine, near...
It sounds like you may possibly have a clogged radiator or potentially cooling fans that may not be coming on at the correct times. I would suggest having the radiator flushed and checking the cooling fan relay to be sure...
Hi there. These codes may or may not be related to one another. I would be most concerned with the high idle first. Most of the time, on this engine it is due to a bad vacuum line. It sounds...
There are a few faults that will cause your 2013 Hyundai Elantra to overheat when idling. The most common would be the electric fans not functioning. When air is flowing over the radiator the car works fine, but when the...
The reason that your gas cap light has come on is likely because the gas cap is missing. I would strongly recommend purchasing a new gas cap to put on. This will not only clear the check engine light but...
