Check the exhaust system for any leaks before the oxygen sensors. This can contribute to having more oxygen in the exhaust stream causing the sensors to register a false reading. If there is no leaks in the exhaust, then check...
Depending on storage conditions, ethanol content, and so forth, fuel will expire in 2 to 6 months. If fuel has sat in a tank for 6 months, and the car has not been used during that period, there is no...
Hello. If you have no pressure to the rear calipers at all and if the master cylinder is new then you may have forces some debris into the ABS unit when you compressed the pistons in the rear calipers. In...
You need to have computer tested to see if you have misfire codes and may have got oil onto one or more of the spark plugs and coils causing the misfire. The A/C will not work normally since the computer...
Check the fuel injectors and see if they are leaking and not atomizing properly. The injectors could be working fine but dripping instead of spraying. I recommend performing a injection cleaning on the engine to see if the injectors will...
The part is not a Chevrolet part but an aftermarket alarm system that was installed on the truck. Most of the time the part is just stuffed up inside the dash or wire tied to anything underneath the dash to...
Considering that this answer is only based on reading your question and not based on any other knowledge I have as to what you are trying to do, typically inputs are given to ECUs by means of different types of...
There are a few components that run to the rear of the vehicle in that location. There are heater and air conditioning pipes that run the system charge from the front of the vehicle to the rear if your vehicle...
Hello. If your car dies suddenly, accompanied by a "charge/battery" warning light, it would appear that you are having a problem with your charging system. Given the combination of symptoms you are describing, a mechanic has to first test...
There are many possibilities for a stall/no start. I suspect that may be related to the oil change. You need to see if the oil is full and the oil filter is the correct one. If the engine locked up,...
Hi there. This is a common problem for your vehicle. There are many different things that can be effecting your idle rpm. The Idle Air Control Valve for your Vanos needs attention. Vanos is the variable valve timing BMW incorporated...
Based on your description this might be some sort of major electrical failure. Inasmuch as the car is not starting at all now, you can request a no start diagnostic and the responding certified mechanic will simply determine what has...
You would need to have the engine mounts checked and then if they are good then have the engine compression tested to see if you have one cylinder low on compression indicating and internal engine problem with a piston or...
This may be a sign of a failing throttle position sensor. The throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the throttle position of the throttle plate inside the throttle body in relation to your foot position on...
I'd recommend having a mechanic come to you and check it out to see if you have a starter or a ignition/fuel problem. There's not enough information for me to really narrow it down for you. I'd recommend getting some...
Hi there. The wires to the dash and radio may have been shorted with the speaker wires that run to the doors. When the driver door is opened, the wires may short out causing a short to ground eliminating the...
Hi there - I think you have unrepaired damaged still. The vibration you feel through the steering wheel is an out-of-balance tire, bent wheel, or tire that is separating. It is also possible the vibration/noise is coming from the passenger-side...
Hello. From what you've described, your car has a bad brake light switch. This switch is located on the brake pedal assembly under the dash. It starts to fail and in most cases the smallest amount of movement will allow...
Hello, thank you for writing in. If it is an aftermarket blower motor, as opposed to an OEM original dealer part, that might account for the noise. That would be my first suspicion, especially if you are sure you have...
Hi. The air conditioning system works by removing excess heat from inside the vehicle and transferring it outside. There are countless reasons your air conditioning might not work, from a failed compressor to having a low refrigerant level. A trained...
The problem sounds like the alternator has failed and stopped charging. Your alternator should be tested to see if it is putting out any voltage and amperes to recharge the battery. You should also make sure the main cable off...
Hi there. If a car will crank over but will not start, it is typically due to one of two issues. First, the engine is not getting enough fuel or not the right mixture of air to fuel. Second, the...
The status of the oxygen sensors is unrelated to the present no start. Overheating has the potential to cause head gasket leaks and valve and piston damage. You should measure cylinder compression to rule out low compression as a cause...
