Hi and thank you for contacting YourMechanic. If you are getting a clicking sound when trying to start your vehicle that is a very good indication that your battery is dead. Perform a battery voltage test (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/service-battery-cables) and make sure...

A scanner will not cause a no start but the security system will. You will need to have the passlock system codes pinpoint tested to see if the problem is the key or the system needs reprogrammed or the module...

Hi Future. Thanks for the follow-up. Yes, there is a camshaft position sensor, located at the top of the engine near the bottom of the cylinder head and the crankshaft sensor, that is located near the crank pulley. I think...

Hi Future. Thanks for the follow-up question. Based on the symptoms you're describing, I would assume you have multiple issues beyond the crankshaft position sensor. The thing about engine codes is that they are simply recording facts on systems that...

These kinds of electrical system failures are most likely from different electrical connections throughout the system getting small amounts of corrosion in the connectors and will require each affected system connector to be disconnected and a small amount of dielectric...

It is very likely that the engine could be bad based on the sound. Most likely the oil pump going out caused other damage. On an older vehicle such as a 1992, the cost if an engine replacement may exceed...

It sounds like you may have a damaged AC compressor or compressor clutch. As you may know the AC Clutch is the pulley that spins with the Belt. There are two ports on the rear of the Compressor. One is...

Once the car engine is completely cool, I would check the coolant level in the radiator and the reserve tank. If the level is low, you may have had a sudden leak of coolant. In that scenario, the white smoke...

Check the transmission fluid and see if its full and red in color. Fill the transmission fluid up if its low on fluid and see if the issues go away. If the fluid is full and red in color, then...

Hi Jasmine. Thanks for contacting us today. On a digital speedometer, the mileage is stored in the ECU and simply displayed on the gauge. By having the speedometer fixed, the milage should appear on the dash. You can set up...

Hi Future F. Thanks for contacting us today. The crankshaft position sensors for GM engines are located near the crankshaft pulley, typically on the right side (looking at the front of the motor). If you're going to attempt to replace...

Hi Brandon. Thanks for contacting us tonight. If you were having these same symptoms prior to the services you completed, then I would assume that either you've got a misfiring or clogged fuel injector or a distributor (ignition coil) that...

Hi Hallie. More often than not, when you have this type of problem, it's mechanical in nature - meaning that a fuel or ignition system component has broken as opposed to a security system issue. If you are unable to...

You did not state the mileage you have but your turbo should not go out so soon. I would recommend using a high quality synthetic oil of correct viscosity for turbo engines. This oil may help prolong the life of...

Hi there. What you are describing is common with oil distribution or lubrication issues on top of the cylinder heads in most cases. It can also be an indication of loose cylinder head hardware, such as valve lifters that are...
