You may have a clogged oil control solenoid screen. See this post

First, read the terms of the lease to find out how they define the condition upon return. Based on that, get a quote from your car insurance carrier for this kind of protection as well as GAP...

Nobody asked HOW you drive. Oil change intervals are based on HOW you drive and how many miles. If you do lots of cold starts, short trips and stop and go driving you must change oil more often even...

IC? Have you looked this computer? Car makers haven't used removable IC chips as the programming since the 80's. You can only swap computers if they have the same part numbers. Highly unlikely that...

Blinking light on Toyota usually means computer has detected slippage at the compressor clutch. Computer knows engine RPMs and expects certain RPMS at the compressor. Sensor in the clutch detects...

A gasoline engine should NEVER need cardboard in front of the radiator. It didn't come from the factory that way and the radiator didn't get more efficient as it aged. The thermostat is almost always...

Anti-seize is no longer recommended since most spark plugs have an anti-seize nickel coating on the threads. However if you do apply anti-seize, reduce torque by 10%.

Buy a battery maintainer and slap it on the battery. Pour in some fuel stabilizer at the gas station and then fill the tank (ethanol gas undergoes phase separation after 30 days--fuel stabilizer...

If you want to do your own repair, you need a shop manual. Go to eautorepair.net or alldatadiy.com and fork out the dough for a real pro manual. If you can't afford $30, go to your public library and...

If you have the 4.3L, the vehicle control module (VCM) is located on the right (passenger) side of the engine compartment. IGN switch is at the top of the steering column near the lock cylinder

If you were screwing around with the fuse box and did something wrong to cause the fire, then you might have a fight on your hands. But fuse boxes aren't supposed to burn up on their own. You've...

Yes, a fire would be covered under your comprehensive. They'll figure out a repair cost and if it exceeds their "total" percentage (usually 70% of retail value) they'll give you the retail price....

How about year, make, and model. Some vehicles have a starter relay in the fuse box that's switched by the PCM after it determines if the vehicle is in park or neutral. Others run power through the...

In late model cars with aerodynamic front ends, the radiator sits lower than the top of the engine. So you get air pockets in the top of the engine. That's why you need to bleed the system. Never...

Sounds like you didn't bleed the air out of it.

Far more likely that the sensors or tone ring got rust on them from removing the wheels. Take it back to the tire shop and ask them to clean the sensors and tone rings. If that still doesn't work,...

If the actuator is working but the door is binding, you don't have to replace the entire heater box. Dorman makes a replacement door.

Top of the engine. This is a cartridge style filter that sits inside a case. It's not a spin on style.

ECM? I don't think so. Sounds just like a bad central timer module. That's Chrysler's name for a body control module. It controls all those systems you mentioned. And it has a high failure rate. Read...

In the old days, switches actually switched power to those lights. However, in late model vehicles, the switches just act as a signal to the body control module and it's the control module that...

It's either the bushing or a broken eyelet in the console area. Broken bushing is most common. Remove console and examine cable and eyelet. If the shifter is disconnected from the cable, it's the...

Most likely a fan relay issue.

Read this post and download the wiring diagram to see how it works. Not exactly for your car, but close enough to get how it works.

Radiator fan won't turn on

There are 874 Technical Service Bulletins for that year. Does that tell you anything about reliability?

PNB-HA23= Model

1F1P-EB= Assembly number & Prefix

BD-2C08= Build date

UNDYKELK= Build Location

PNBHA23003850= Model serial number

Repeat resistor failure is usually caused by a worn blower motor that's drawing too much current. If it has a cabin air filter, check that first to see if it's clogged. That can also cause the blower...

Engine flushing is so a no-no that Chrysler, GM, and others have issued service bulletins warning their dealers not to engines. Read this post on engine flushing

Should you do an engine flush

Both good tips. I like to spray PB Blaster into the stud area so it soaks between the rotor and hub. Then I rotate the rotor 180 and shoot it again so the liquid gets in the other side. Then try the...

First thing you should do is clean the MAF sensor with spray MAF sensor cleaner. Computer uses that input to determine shift points. If it has crud on it, you'll get hard shifting. Let it go on too...

Fuel tank pressure sensor is either on the tank or in the tank depending on engine and model

Fuse 24 in the interior fuse box provides power to the turn signal switch, instrument cluster and the brake pedal switch. The brake pedal switch tells the instrument interface module when to provide...

The ABS system and sensors on this vehicle report to the ABS module and control rear hydraulic pressure. So the ABS system actually replaces older mechanical proportioning valves that shifted more...

There are only two solenoids. Works pretty much like other EVAP systems. After purging canister, the ECM commands a leak test opening EVAP VSV to intake vacuum while the vent valve (CCV) is closed....

1.7 hrs. Try your public library and see if they offer online auto manuals. Otherwise, nobody is going to have that info for free.

Check the 175-amp mega fuse under the hood. Everything flows through that except starter. But starter won't engage if there's no power to ign switch.

Test or replace window switch or regulator

Yeah, bad door switches very common of Fords. Try the method shown here

Interior lights stay on -- Ford

That would be the sign of a dead pump or a totally failed line pressure pressure solenoid. However, that would normally set a trouble code.

Here's a link to a description of the Chrysler EVAP system. The problem can be as simple as a cracked hose, or as bad as a new leak detection pump.

Chrysler EVAP Codes

PCM gets timing signals from crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor. As you see, the injectors get power full time. The PCM is what provides ground to each injector. And it's not...

Should be a vent hole in the headlight assembly. Sometimes spiders build nest in the vent. Check it out and see if it's plugged. If it is, clean it out and drive around with your lights on. That'll...

The theft deterrent module is located under the dash to the left of the steering column.

It's most likely the master switch. Go to this link. Then click on the PDF. Once it's open, roll your mouse wheel up and down to see how power and ground both must flow through the master switch. IF...

Exactly what the other guys said, but here's a link to see pictures of what corroded calipers pins look like

Do what TxGM says as a starting point. Then check for battery voltage on the light green wire at the starter motor when the key is in the START position. If no voltage, check fuse V in the power...

There's a starter relay in the engine compartment junction box. If you can find another relay with the same part number, swap it out and see if that works. Also, this vehicle uses a Nippondenso...

Does the security light flash when this happens? If so, you have the dreaded GM PassLock failure. See the post below for how to fix it.

Sounds like the classic GM ignition switch failure. Test the terminals for power in start position.

This is actually a pretty easy job if you have the right tool. GM made this engine so it will rotate forward. You disconnect the engine to radiator support strut. Then you install a rotating tool in...
