Hello. From what you've described it would appear that your vehicle may have suffered serious transmission issues. Slipping and grinding sounds are commonly associated with internal transmission issues. It may be possible that the torque converter or transmission gears have...
Hi Jaclynn. Thanks for contacting us today. Based on what you're describing, it's quite possible that you have a damaged ignition switch or faulty ignition relay. To know for certain, an on-site inspection by a professional mechanic (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/car-is-hard-to-start-inspection) can help...
Hi Luke. Thanks for contacting us today. The belt is likely the serpentine belt, which powers the water pump among other systems on your car. It's more than likely that the belt breaking caused the water pump to fail, and...
The most common causes of overheating include low coolant level (including that due to leaks), a faulty thermostat, a plugged radiator, a faulty radiator pressure cap, collapsed hoses, non functioning cooling fans, and a faulty water pump or drive belt....
Hi Rick. Thanks for contacting us today. This Infiniti specific code can be related to other items besides the crankshaft position sensor itself. Some of the common sources include the Crankshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted, has a...
The only way to rule out the battery as a cause, or contributing factor, is to perform a load test (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/battery-is-dead-inspection) on the battery. If a battery has internal defects, even if fully "charged" it may not be able to...
If none of the windows are working from any of the switches, there must be a common circuit problem. The first thing I would do is check the fuse. Fuse information can be found in your owner's manual. If the...
I have seen this issue before. This is usually caused by a regulator that is broken. The regulator is the mechanism the window is attached to. It is what actually makes the window go up and down. If the regulator...
Hi there. Your vehicle running hot only when driving could be the thermostat (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/thermostat-replacement) only partially opening. It may be the result of air trapped in the cooling system when the radiator was replaced. The cooling system may need to...
Hello, thanks for your question. From what you describe it would appear that your vehicle has suffered some sort of transmission-related mechanical issue. Transmission grinding and popping is usually an indicator that the transmission has developed some sort of internal...
Hi Luke. Thanks for the reply. If I'm understanding you correctly, the other belt (which I believe is on the driver side of the engine, near the front) is referred to as the accessory belt. This belt is the one...
The code that you are referring to typically means there is an electrical problem in the crankshaft position sensor circuit. The issue is not necessarily the sensor itself and thus the output of the sensor must be viewed on a...
Hi Russ. Thanks for contacting us tonight. As a vehicle's transmission ages, the inner seals and gaskets begin to dry naturally. This is accelerated inside an automatic transmission, which is a hydraulic unit. In some cases, when the transmission fluid...
The first thing to check for in a case like this is air leaks. Any air that gets into the engine without going through proper channels will lean out the system and cause problems like this. Look under the hood...
Hi Tyler. Thanks for contacting us today. I think you might find this article very helpful (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0302-obd-ii-trouble-code-cylinder-2-misfire-detected-by-jamahl-walker), as it will explain the source of this error code, possible sources and repair solutions.
I would agree. The ignition switch (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-to-install-an-ignition-switch-by-robert-tomashek) is sounding like the main suspect on your Suburban. That's the only thing that could lock your steering and then cause instrument cluster to not turn on. If you want to have this...
These are two problems that will probably need to be addressed separately. The window being stuck may be caused by a bad regulator or motor, or even a switch. If the interior door handle is not opening the door, there...
Hi there. If the window has suddenly stopped working, then the most common reason is because the window motor failed. I would typically remove the door panel and check for power at the window motor when operating the switch. If...
Corolla 1.8L engines for model years 1998 through 2008 all used the same head casting and the same block casting. However, beginning in August 1999, and continuing through model year 2008, all of the 1.8L engines were equipped with variable...
