Precision Automotive Repair

"Possible anti-theft problem. How long has it been doing this?

"

"I would recommend a diagnostic test to determine the root cause. It could be a bad used sensor, but maybe not. "

"This is basically a Ford Ranger. It uses an orifice tube. Why do you ask?"

"No. The "Check Engine" light will only illuminate for an emissions related problem."

"Maybe....P0155 indicates a problem in the O2 heater circuit on the upstream bank 2 sensor. Most commonly the heater circuit opens up in the O2 and the PCM can't complete the ground. Other possibili..."

"If it cranks over, then it can only be one of three things......lack of spark, lack of fuel, lack of compression. If it ran recently, I would concentrate on the spark and fuel. Was the "speed" sens..."

"Fronts are standard tapered roller bearings where you pack with new grease, so no press needed there. Rears are installed into the axle housing, so no press needed there either. If this Aerostar is..."

"Sounds like low lift pump pressure whihc may have taken out the injection pump. Common on this engine. Check transfer (lift) pump pressure first."

"$3500.....What is the reason for head gasket replacement? If the engine is blowing white smoke, it is probably the EGR cooler instead. "

"Definitely need a high torque impact gun to get that bolt loose or lots of meat and potatoes applied to the end of a
4 foot breaker bar."

"Your problem sounds more mechanical than electrical. When you turn the key past the "Run" position to the "Start" position, the ignition lock cylinder moves a rod that actuates the ignition switch...."

"If the engine is overheating, then not a good idea. Why does it need replacing? Have you had it diagnosed?"

"Sounds like a kickdown cable for the trans. Should have a plastic clip that snaps over a ball or disc shaped attachment on the throttle body lever. Likely the plastic piece broke. Usually only repl..."

"You need to check the coolant level in both the radiator and the coolant reservoir. If the system is full, I would suspect a faulty coolant level sensor. Very common for this type of sensor. This s..."

"Huh? Rough idle and wipers are normally not related. "

"The struts are the same part number from 96 to 97 Camry V6. It should work without a problem."

"Those codes aren't keeping the vehicle from running. Is it cranking or just not firing up?"

"You'll need to have that problem diagnosed to pinpoint the issue. Then it can be estimated for the repair or part necessary."

"Way too much to write here."

"Most auto technicians will tell you to replace anything that appears worn, leaking, or noisy. You have to take it on a car by car basis. I would also base it on mileage. The worst thing there is, i..."

"Sounds like it's rusted in place. Spray some penetrating fluid (WD-40, PB Blaster, etc.) where the wheel contacts the drum or rotor and let it work a little. Then use a hammer and beat on the tire ..."

"Sounds like you may have other problems taking out the cats. A misfire or fuel control problem could be the cause. I would recommend you find a good diagnostic technnician in your area that can nai..."

"The EDIS is a system not a single part. What component do you need to replace?"

"Sounds like the starter drive is going out. A starter will likely cure the problem, but I would recommend getting a thorough starting/charging system inspection before replacing the part."

"Difficult to say with limited info, but i doubt it's brakes. Sounds more like transmission. "
