Hi there: Thanks for writing in about your 1998 Dodge Neon. To answer the question, YES, dirty and corroded battery terminals are a major cause of engine staring issues. A good rule of thumb anytime you purchase a used car...
If the car is starting with no issue but the problem is immediate stalling typical causes for such immediate stalling are a faulty mass airflow sensor, faulty engine coolant temperature switch/sensor (typically at cold start only), faulty camshaft or crankshaft...
Hello and thank you for contacting YourMechanic. The exhaust manifold will make a hissing sound or a ticking sound depending on the leak and how many leaks there are. If possible, get a broom stick and put it against the...
Hello - these two unfortunate events are probably only related in the sense that they are both caused by advanced mileage and age. New radiators utilize plastic end tanks that are crimp-sealed onto an aluminum fin section. The plastic in...
Hi there. The window regulator is loose or the window is off the window regulator causing the window to go up crooked. Remove the door panel and check the window regulator and see if it's not mounted properly. If the...
She's probably telling the truth. Some dealers can be lazy. They don't want to do anything for free, under warranty. There's a lot more they could have looked at other than just codes. Anybody should road test the car with...
You will need to have the low oil pressure code diagnosed. The engine will go into fail safe mode when these problems happen in order to protect the engine. Depending on the specific problem found, the engine may idle low...
Your car’s charging system is an essential component – without an operable battery and alternator, your car won’t go anywhere. If the Charging System light is flashing on the dash, there’s something wrong. The main reason for the light to...
This can be caused by a few different problems. First have computer tested for stored codes to see if it points you to the problem like a clogged fuel filter or a bad catalyst in the exhaust. If this has...
Hi...I will help you with this. There are quite a few components in a vehicle's suspension and so it is hard to predict definitively what the cause is until the vehicle is inspected. If you want your vehicle's suspension inspected...
Hello - "yaw" means the amount of rotation or twist from a vertical axis, or how much your car "leans" to the outside of a curve when cornering. The yaw rate sensor provides input to stability control and anti-skid braking...
It sounds as though the electrical part of the ignition switch is loosing contact internally; this will need to be verified, and the switch will possibly need to be replaced. I recommend you have a mechanic, like one from YourMechanic,...
Your first starting effort probably created enough heat within the starter motor to melt the windings, shorting them. This just causes more power to be directed to an already hot starter motor. Kills the starter. Take it out and have...
It sounds like you may have a failing alternator. As you may know, the alternator charges the battery while the engine runs by generating amperage and recharging the battery while the engine turns the alternator pulley. The voltage regulator is...
If your cars A/C is not very cold, and it is happening always, you might be low on refrigerant. The A/C system is a sealed system and if it is low, it usually means you have a leak. Seeking the...
Hello. I strongly suggest having the ABS system evaluated by a technician. There are components that could fail which will cause the ABS light to illuminate such as the wheel speed sensor, the abs module, or a hydraulic issue. The...
Loss of power on acceleration can be due to plugged fuel injectors, faulty oxygen sensors, fuel pump and/or filter, vacuum leaks, ignition system malfunctions, bad valve timing if the timing belt or chain is worn or skipped, blocked exhaust (e.g.,...
Hello, thank you for writing in. You started out in the right direction as spark is typically what you check first when you have a misfire. With that out of the way, you do want to scan the vehicle again...
No start situations are difficult to diagnose because of all the variable involved. Cranking but not starting can be caused by many things like a faulty fuel pump, bad crank or cam sensor, an active theft deterrent system, etc. With...
Considering your symptoms, I would suspect that your issue lies within the fuel or ignition system. Without diagnostic equipment, it would be best to have your vehicle inspected by a technician who does. Although you have no Check Engine Light,...
The water leak you are describing probably originates at the trunk weatherstripping, the rear glass and sometimes even the taillights assemblies will leak at their seal to the body. Of course, there could be more than one leak point, too....
The first danger that should be considered is the fact that items on the rearview mirror are a distraction. Depending on the object they can partly obscure your view. Visibility is a main concern as well as depending on the...
