I have a 78 Ford Bronco and it whines like a baby. Pop the hood and a whistling sound is somewhere around the carb. I tightened down the carburetor bolts, performed an ether test, and plugged any unused vacuum ports. The Bronco runs great but the whistling noise is very noticeable at idle and is audible inside the cab.
I have a 1985 BMW 318i. Refurbished the engine, but someone
put in the battery backwards before getting the car restarted. Now, Fuel, Air and Spark are all ok, it will chug with the gas from the Cold Start Injector, but won’t start. My only guess is the Injectors (new) are not getting correct signal. I’ve been working through the Bentley Service Manual, with a multi-meter, and have found the injectors’ voltage is ok, as well each is grounded ok, but there doesn’t seem to be any pulse at the injectors. All the electrical checks at each of the main electrical components seem to be ok, which Bentley tells me means I need to replace the component. I’m wondering if anyone has any
advice on which component to start on or other things to check, as opposed to trying/buying all new electronic components. Thanks for any help or advice you can give.
I have a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. I have been having trouble where I am driving and the car starts to die and then finally shuts off. I jump the car and it only stays on for a few minutes. I replaced the battery with red top Optima @ 960 cranking amps and that didn’t correct it so I replaced the alternator. This morning after I drove the car long enough (about 30 miles), the car died again. It seems as if the alternator is not charging the battery. I have checked the wiring to the battery and alternator and they look good. My next step is to just change the wires anyway because I have no idea what else could cause this. Do you have any suggestions?
Whenever I start my truck (02′ Chevrolet Silverado HD) on a cold day (below 50 degress) my RPMs drop and the truck acts like it wants to die. What is the cause of this problem?
What is the most recommended car insurance broker?
I read somewhere on your site about car insurance for woman? Is there really such a thing…and if so how do I apply for it?
I’ve been reading your site…very nice. I have a question though. Who in your opinion will have the best car insurance rates for a high risk young driver?
My situation is weird. I have a 2001 Trans Am WS6 Gen III vehicle. Sometimes it will not start even thou everything seems fine. It is shift gear (6 speed). I replaced the clutch switch and the solenoid and starter relays. When it will not start, there are no indications as to what is wrong. For instance, I do not hear the starter complaining or the solenoid spinning. It simply does not crank at all. I sometimes depress the clutch switch manually with my hands while turning the switch and the car on neutral. I suspect the clutch switch is not grounding itself properly.
I have a 2004 impala base model with no frills. The problem is my blower for heat or a/c won’t come on until I’ve been driving for a while, 5-10 minutes or so. A mechanic has looked at it and said it may be a module of some kind but would not perform repairs without knowing for sure. I absolutely hate taking my car to a dealer because it seems they charge about 5 times as much as anywhere else for the repair. Is this a type of repair that can be done myself without tearing too much apart or do I need to bite the bullet and take it to a dealer??
my Mazda 323 auto was leaking automatic transmission fluid we have managed to stop that and everything seemed fine then it suddenly stopped and wont drive or reverse please could you give me any advice thank you
