I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT1. Today the temp gauge wouldn’t register above 100, even though it was pumping heat. No check engine lights came on just the low register on the temp gauge. Any ideas?
I am the original owner of a 1992 Jeep Wrangler Renegade. It had a 4.0 L engine, automatic transmission with 170,000 mi. After I bought the Jeep I had the dealership install A/C. I have never had a problem with the A/C with the exception of the past 2 to 3 weeks. Approx. 2 to 3 weeks ago, I would get a slight smell like something electrical was burning when I would run the A/C at high speed. This smell would go away when I brought the A/C back down to low. Yesterday, I turned the A/C on and the burning smell was excessive so I shut the A/C unit off. When I attempted to turn it back on, the A/C would not work. What part do you think most likely burned out- switch, blower fan or some other part?
I have just acquired a 1994 Honda Civic and it has stopped running. It killed on me at a stop and won’t start again. it has a new battery, distributor cap and rotor. The problem is it is still not getting fire to the engine to crank it. What do you advise could be the problem?
I left the lights on in my 2000 jeep wrangler and the car wouldn’t start. I jumped the car and the engine would start as long as I kept giving it gas and kept the key turned. Once I took my foot of the gas the car died again. When it was on the lights could be turned on and the radio could be turned on. Do you think I need a new battery or a new alternator? Should I try a new battery first? Thx so much
I have an 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 6 cylinder with 148,000 miles on it. The problem that I am having with it is it will not start without the help of starting fluid,and won’t stay running when finally started. Could this be a fuel injector problem or something of that nature? We replaced the battery,and even tried putting Heat in the gas tank to rid it of any moisture that may be in the gas tank and that didn’t even help it. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? Thank you.
I have a 93 Toyota corolla. Replaced the alternator 4 years ago (not Toyota alternator). It died again. Toyota tells me that the only alternator that will last is theirs and that any other brand will not work for long. Is this true?
I have a 1997 Chevy Lumina car with a 3.1. The transmission is losing fluid. I took it on a trip and kept having to ad fluid to get home..What areas are bad for leaking?? I am hoping it is not at the converter?
My 2002 Ford Mustang seems to be dead. I replaced the battery and now I get power, but it’s struggling to even attempt to foll over. It clicks, but only a couple times. I can hear a hum of power within the car, but cannot get it to start.
I have a 1985 Ford F250 4×4. everything seems to be fine except the oil pressure. the pressure is fine when i first start it up and for awhile after. when the engine starts to warm up thats when the pressure gauge goes down. i checked the oil when the engine was running and when it wasn’t(hot and cold) and the oil level seems to be fine. it only starts to happen when the engine temp. gets about a 1/4 way on the gauge. then the oil gauge starts to go down and then it will go back. so basically it goes up and down. is that normal? I’m not really use to the truck since I just got it, it was my step dad’s and I got it when he past away so i can’t ask him. I know he kept it running good and everything. please help me out.
I bought a 92 Civic Si with 188K. Drove 40km everything fine then gauges went dead, engine started to bog in any gear (manual) then engine died. I was told to keep the battery disconnected because something is eating the battery power. If you wait 10min and reconnect, engine starts up again no problem, after 10 min dies again. What is this, alternator? Distributor? Or bad battery? What should I try first?
