If your car is not leaking the oil, most likely the car is burning the oil. This can mean a couple of different things. A PCV Valve (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) that is not functioning correctly will cause the engine...
Replacing the radiator is a straightforward job. Any time the cooling system is serviced, the rest of the system will need to be tested as well. Do not continue to drive the car with the risk of overheating it. Damage...
The C/V version is rated for 1,500 pounds of cargo and 300 pounds of passengers (1,800 pounds combined). All other versions of this vehicle, including the SE, have a suspension rated for 1,150 pounds max, passengers and cargo combined. Obviously,...
This may also be caused by what is called the fuel pressure regulator. This is a unit that helps to maintain the fuel pressure at the proper level. When this is not working properly, the fuel pump may be pumping...
Your issue could have countless causes, from a vacuum leak to a faulty fuel pump. If the Check Engine Light is on, the first step is to retrieve the associated diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). These codes serve as a starting...
Hello. The jerking you feel are most likely caused by the spark plugs misfiring. The spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor button replaced. This should solve the problem that you are experiencing. The truck should run a lot better...
I have seen this issue before. This is usually caused by a regulator that is broken. The regulator is the mechanism the window is attached to. It is what actually makes the window go up and down. If the regulator...
Hello. The oil can leak from any number of places on this engine. The most common places that this engine leaks oil is from the valve cover gaskets, and from the rear main seal. If it is dripping while the...
I would recommend taking the vehicle back to the service facility that changed your oil and giving them a chance to resolve the issue. This service should no doubt be free of charge since it was no fault of yours...

Your car may have a leaking water pump. Try to keep the coolant level full until you can get the cooling system pressure tested to see where the leak is and get the leak repaired. If the engine is...
It seems like a sensor problem to me. When the engine reaches operating temperature, the computer takes control with readings from the main sensors, and adjusts for the most efficient mixture. If one of these sensors are reading incorrectly, or...

Hi, I will be glad to help you with this. What you are describing could very well be limited in terms of the required repair, and thus not costly, if there are just a few missing fasteners. But, please keep...
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System needs a dealer specific scan tool, or generic TPMS reset tool to reset the system. Why the system is not communicating is the real question. Typically this happens if they have been replaced and have...
What you are describing sounds like a failing CV joint. A CV (Constant Velocity) joint is a shaft that connects the transmission to the wheels, essentially transferring the power from the drive train directly to the wheels. The CV joint...
Hello. The wheel spacers are what is causing this. Once you change the placement of the wheels like this, it changes the geometry of the suspension which causes it to act like this. If there are any worn out parts...
The learned, adaptive shift points have possibly been lost or modified. With enough time, they will re-set. However, if you remove power to the PCM and TCM (both are involved in adaptive shifting), new shift points will be learned and...
The working theory is that water has intruded somewhere, likely in some electrical component. If you are in a warm, dry climate you might try letting the car dry out. If that doesn't work, or you need a faster resolution,...
Hello, thanks for writing in. The alarm will go off when this happens because the alarm module feels you shut the trunk and thinks that the vehicle is being tampered with. It is best to unlock the car first prior...
