Hello. If you recently had your vehicle serviced by a shop and this occurred right after then you really should take it back. It is possible that something went wrong and it may be as simple as a loose connection....
Hi, there is no way to know what exactly is wrong with only a diagnostic code because there are always multiple reasons why the code could have been set in the first place. In this case, the computer has detected...
The most common problem with the CV joints is when the protective boot cracks or gets damaged. Once this happens, the grease comes out and moisture and dirt get in, causing the CV joint to wear faster and eventually fail...
You could have a small oil leak or even a coolant leak. When the fluid drops on a hot surface, it burns or boils. Coolant and oil leaks are easy to distinguish if you can get where you can smell...
Hi. It could be the struts, but then again, it could be a lot of things. Some other usual suspects include the control arm bushings, link pins and ball joints. A trained mechanic will be able to listen to the...
I would check and see if the brake lights are working. If the car will not shift out of Park and the brake lights do not work, this usually means that the brake interlock switch is faulty, and needs to...
Hello there, thank you for asking about your 1990 Oldsmobile Toronado. You can rule out a blown fuse for both of these issues. If the fuse were blown, the circuit would not operate at all. I'm guessing from your description...
Hi. There are quite a few parts that can become loose and drug under the vehicle. Most of the time it is the skid plate under the front of the car. This plastic part will become loose and then drag...
Just because the A/C wasn't working doesn't necessarily mean that the Freon was low. There are several things that could be wrong, but now that you have added the Freon, you know that an undercharge was not the problem. You...
It depends. If only a bolt needs to be replaced, the price "sounds" high but even that response is speculative because there might be a lot of disassembly work to get to the bolt and then, of course the wheel...
Don't put too much money in it cosmetically, because Mitsubishis are decent cars, but in the long run, they do not hold up like Toyotas or Hondas. It's not a car that can last 20 or 30 years like Toyotas...
Speedometer issues are not very common and sometimes can be caused by things we do. For example replacing the tires. Tires need to be replaced with tires of the exact same size because that is the size that is programmed...
It sounds like you have a pretty bad misfire. While a faulty O2 sensor could be the cause, it is not the most likely. A misfire happen can be caused by anything that prevents the air/fuel mixture from igniting properly...
Hello. Make sure you double check to see if the starter is getting good connections and the cables are good. You may just have a starter that is common to only last a few years before wearing out. Make sure...
This generally indicates a failure of the oil plug crush washer/gasket. Retorquing the plug may stop the leak. If not, the oil plug and gasket need to be checked. If the oil is rather new, it can be reclaimed in...
Hi. If fuel is leaking from your vehicle, I would recommend you stop driving the vehicle immediately, and have it serviced as soon as possible. Gasoline is highly flammable, and driving a vehicle that is leaking gasoline is very unsafe....
It is possible there may be a loose connection somewhere that is not allowing the power to flow properly. Often this can be caused by a loose ground fastener or a broken battery cable connection. Consider hiring an experienced technician...
Hello, One of the pleasures of driving a newer car is the comfortable steering. When it suddenly becomes too difficult to turn your wheel, that can be an alarming feeling! There are a few different possibilities as to why your...
Think about the differentials in a different way. The non-driven wheels already spin independently of each other, and therefore needing a differential is not necessary on those wheels. On driven wheels, the drivetrain must be able to power both wheels...
Hello, thanks for writing in. This depends on a wide variety of factors that would need to be evaluated individually along with the Jeep being physically inspected and diagnosed by a professional. If you'd like to have this done, I...
The clutch hydraulic system would have to be checked first, to make sure that it is moving the clutch pressure plate in and out. If it is working properly, then your clutch pressure plate has a problem, and the transmission...
Many electrical problems can be caused by a dead battery. If you are experiencing strange electrical problems, I would have your battery and alternator tested. I recommend having a technician from YourMechanic come out and load test the battery and...

The Check Engine flashing is indicating an engine misfire. The ignition will need to be checked and the engine scanned to see which code is retrieved for the misfire. I recommend seeking a certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic,...
