We did not have any indication of a problem at grade level nor did we have puddling water anywhere. The only indication of our problem was the "gurgling" when something was being added into the...

Have someone perform a EBP test for you. EBP is short for exhaust back pressure. I suspect you have a faulty catalytic converter where the substrate is rolling around inside, sometimes causing a...

There is a valve on the fuel filter housing (at the top center of engine) that is there to allow draining the fuel filter prior to service/ replacement. Check and make sure it is securely closed.

Disconnect the negative battery cable, wait 30 seconds, reconnect. Turn the ignition key to on position, attempt to turn radio on. If the radio display shows "CODE", turn the ignition to off without...

Compressor clutch may have failed. You will have to bring the vehicle to a shop where they can recover the refrigerant, remove the compressor assembly and then either replace the compressor & clutch...

The switch is a combination hi/ low pressure switch. The low pressure switch is open when the system pressure is below 28psi or above 455psi, the high pressure switch closes above 221psi. What...

The A/C pressure switch is on the high pressure pipe. There is a grey connector connected to it. Look near the underhood fuse/ relay box.

Its behind the glovebox. FYI, if you replace the PCM, you will have to have the replacement unit reflashed by the dealer.

Check here. This guy makes them out of steel and will most likely outlast every other part of the snow blower

I respectfully disagree with you. In all of my years, I've seen plenty of non-interference engines. I've also seen plenty of interference engines survive a broken timing belt where customers choose...

Is this a 4 cyl or V6? Does the car have good power or does it now LACK power? If it lacks power after his timing belt replacement, his valve timing may be off. If it's the 4 cylinder engine, the...

Wait a minute here guys.. How would they have been able to do a compression test w/o a functioning timing belt? Now if they waited to button EVERYTHING up before they condemned the engine, I'd be a...

There is NO recommendations for having the chain replaced.It is designed to last the life of the vehicle. If you notice performance concerns or excessive engine noise, a technician can remove the...

The bearings in your tub/ drum assembly are most likely failing. Sometimes, as it is in my case, the basket & support spider can also break as well. Both of these problems are evidently very common...

We have an older Kenmore front load washer (Frigidaire re-badge) that has been working great for the last 5 years. The problem started a few nights ago when the wife was running a load of laundry....

The job market has been really tough here in Michigan and guys in my profession are struggling. Believe me, if there was any other way I wouldn't even have bothered. If I can move on to another...

I feel I should also include that I do not have a criminal history. I have a clean driving record, I do not abuse drugs or alcohol or any controlled substances. I am very skillful at what I do. I...

I am going to start by including as much info as I can to start this off.

I am a professional technician by trade. The way we are compensated are based on "billable" hours. For instance, when we...

P0420 is Catalytic Converter efficiency below threshold.

In other words, you're going to need to have your Catalytic Converter replaced. From experience, I would highly recommend that you replace...

If you are the original owner, call the dealer that sold you the car and ask for the code. Often times, they store the code on a hard copy when they perform the PDI (Pre-delivery inspection).

Where did you get the idea they would simply give you a new one? I mean, you can ASK and they can either politely say NO or laugh at you out loud and say NO. The vehicle has a manufacturer's...

Honda has a service bulletin # 02-083 that addresses intermittent stalling concern after stops for model year 2001-2002 Civics in all trim levels. It is nothing more than updating the software for...

Just because you can't hear the pump, it doesn't necessarily mean that its not working. If the pump doesn't prime, as you are saying here, it could be a wiring issue or a pump failure issue, the...

Press and hold the odometer reset button, turn key on while holding down the reset button for about 10 - 15 seconds. The light will blink and turn off when its completed.

You are not set up for private message, and I am not going to post it on here publicly. So, if you want you can PM me and I'll see if I can help. Have you been putting in your serial # as opposed to...

p0340 - CMP (Camshaft position sensor) circuit malfunction.

Are you putting in the serial number or the code? The code is only a 5 digit code. You can PM me your serial number if you'd like and I'll see if I can get you your radio code

If you are certain you have the right code, but the radio is locked, you can disconnect the battery for a minute and then try again. Before you start again, you may want to double check that you have...

Which engine ? And don't simply say the 3.0 V6. Need to know if it is the Vulcan or Duratec. Which cylinder head, front or rear?

Vent hose is probably plugged with spider web. Have someone competent in diagnosing evap systems pinpoint the exact location and repair as needed.

DTC P0420 is Catalyst efficiency below threshold

Its amazing that your mechanic wants to throw an oxygen sensors at your car to fix a dying catalytic converter, he must be one heck of a mechanic...

Its on your transmission, look below your brake master cylinder. You will have to remove the nut on your manual lever shaft, then remove the two hold down bolts in order to remove it. The Tribute is...

That is what I have been getting at. Noid nights can be purchased/ loaned from many parts stores. Disconnect a fuel injector and pop one in and attempt to start the engine, see if the ecu is even...

As far as your no start. Pay attention to your tach when you are cranking and see if it is registering any rpms. I have seen many a crank sensor fail when hot cause this. If the tach is stuck at 0...

You talking about ignition timing or valve/cam timing ?

No, its pretty straight forward. Pop the clock out and remove the bulb, unscrewing it with a small screwdriver. Most auto parts stores won't have this in stock so your best bet will be the parts...

You really need to stop and go back to basics. Have you determined WHY the car won't start? Is the engine timed correct, good compression? Do you have adequate fuel pressure & injector pulse? You...

Enough said!

You are assuming that you have fuel based on the fact that you have fuel at the schrader valve at the fuel rail. Have you checked to see whether you are getting injector pulse? I mean, fuel pressure...

You should rotate your tires more often, 5-6K would be reasonable. Don't simply rely on the maintenance minder or you will destroy your vehicle much sooner. Although I wouldn't buy everything the...

The green key shaped light you are referring to is the immobilizer indicator. The light does a "bulb check" just like the check engine/ abs/ tcs lights do during initial start up. It should not be...

You most likely have a vacuum leak. One of the more common areas to look for on the 4.0 SOHC would be the intake plenum gaskets. When you have lean codes for both banks like that, its going to be...

Just keep throwing parts at it!

If it is the 2.7, the labor guide estimates the timing chain replacement to be in the 6 hour neighborhood. Although this isn't something you change just for fun. If you are having timing chain,...

You have a plastic engine cover that covers up most of your engine. When you remove this cover, you will see 3 ignition coils held down by allen head cap screws. Remove these screws & coils and your...

Common problems with the Odyssey are the EGR valve, EGR passages, EVAP system, and last but not least, a transmission nearing the end of its life.

Many of the 2010 model year Honda vehicles also come with 0W-20 synthetic as well in addition to the Hybrid models which have already been using 0W-20 Pay attention to the oil filler cap.

Your 92 Honda Civic has fuel injection. Your first mechanic is correct, partly anyway. You don't even have to wait for any of the lights to cycle on & off before you crank. If you want, you can just...

What is the your radio serial #?
