Hello, a seat that comes loose can be dangerous. Mazda is aware of seat adjuster concerns and has issued a technical service bulletin (TSB 09-049/10) for rattle noise from the bottom of the driver’s seat. The cause of the rattle...
This sounds like one of the valves are sticking or a spring is weak or broken. You may also have a lifter that is holding the valve open after you go to 3500 rpm and will continue to hold open...
Hi there - you don't specify which codes are being set, which might be helpful. If you're getting codes that the sensor itself is malfunctioning, it is possible to get a new sensor that is bad - not often, but...
Hi there. Check the condition of the coolant and see if its full and new. I recommend putting a new radiator cap on and putting in a new thermostat. Once a thermostat is introduced to the atmosphere after being submerged...
This is a known issue with the Pontiac G5 and can be caused by a couple of different possibilities. One possibility is related to the transmission shift lock assembly or position indicator sensor which is what prevents the key from...
Hi Eric. Thanks for contacting us today. Typically when you have an issue where the vehicle is running extremely hot and the heater does not work, it's due to an obstruction of debris inside the heater core, or coolant isn't...
Try to disconnect the blower motor to see if the fuse blows again. The motor is shorted most likely. The motor fried the module (resistor) and may of fried the new one. Try disconnecting the module and blower and see...
Hi there - the water pump on this model is on the external face of the engine block, as are most water pumps. However, it is "behind" the timing belt components, which must be removed to change the water pump....
Hello, It sounds like you may possibly have a stuck EGR valve. The EGR valve allows the flow of exhaust gases into the intake manifold in controlled amounts. When you start the motor, the valve remains in a closed position,...
Hello - the P1631, if this is for a Ford Transit van as it appears, is most often a byproduct of a poor battery condition, with multiple cranking events before a successful start. I would check first for low starting...
Without inspecting the vehicle firsthand, I can only guess as to what might be wrong with your vehicle. The issue would be in the column, steering gear, or even the power steering system. Regardless, the vehicle doesn't sound like it's...
You may have to use a pressure or vacuum type of bleeder to get out the air in the system. Make sure that the master cylinder pedal is not adjusted too tightly. Also, ensure that the automatic adjuster is reset...
Hi there. What seemed to happen is transmission may have broke a something inside it like a thrust bearing or a drive sun shell. This is common for the transmission to do on normal driving as the vehicle ages. I...
As for the spark issue, I would recommend checking the wiring that goes to the distributor or the distributor itself. This part controls the entire ignition system. If this part has failed, it will affect the whole ignition system. I...
A Check Engine Light could mean hundreds of different things. The first thing I would recommend is to have a qualified professional inspect the Check Engine Light, they will use an OBD2 code reader to find which code has set...
Generally, they are just worn-out fan belts. You might just look at them, or if they are 4-5 years old, have them all changed. They are rubber and only last so long. They stretch, they wear internally, and if they...
The symptoms you have described have quite a few different causes. Common causes of this could be the MAF sensor, torque converter locked up, fuel pump failing, ignition switch, or fuel injector failure. Not all of these will trigger the...
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...
Any oil that you desire can be used in an oil change and the customer can, of course, supply the oil himself or herself. I see Castrol Edge OW-40 European formula vended at Amazon, and elsewhere, and thus you can...
Depending on the hissing sound you are referring to, this may suggest you have a bit of a vacuum leak, which may be preventing the motor from starting. High idle speeds or in some cases rough idle, stalling and hissing...
Hello. The first thing I would need to know would be if this is the factory alarm or an aftermarket alarm. If it is a siren then it may be aftermarket meaning that the siren itself is bad. If this...
They are fast as lightning cars. I just met a guy who has one, and I was talking to him about the car and we gave it a ride. They are zippy, fast cars but they are pretty expensive....
Check for corrosion on coil pack terminals (where plug wires enter coil). Common cause of that issue. If you put a Code Scanner on OBDII port (beneath steering column) it might get you in general area reading out ignition or...
Before considering the replacement of the PCM, return the coil pack to the parts store and ask for it to be tested. It is not uncommon to receive a faulted new part. Spark has to travel from the coil, through...
