hanks or the detail feedback. I love It. Especially that you take your time on your side to investigate all the ideas we gave to you and especially the ideas you had during the inspection. Better knowing perfectly your car, then repair the car and keep it for a long time. So you keep your money in your pocket by driving a reliable car that you have fixed.

November 29, 2018 at 1:37 am in reply to: 2003 Acura Cl Type S. Dies while driving and/or won’t start every now & again. #891632It’s seem you have many problem. The EVAP can be the cause. You need to have an engine air tight everywhere. But I never saw a engine stall at 60 miles an hour with an EVAP system. The EVAP system use the charcoal canister and valve an are often located above the muffler. This part cost 2500 us$. An alternator problem will cause a car to shut off at any speed, but you will see the battery came slowly on the dash. None the less, a bad fuel and air mixture can cause an engine to stall. But at this point, you will be able to smell fuel and you will spend nearly 2 the amount of gas that the car maker said It use. For the stall engine, that can be cause by a piston that knock because the piston ring is too far from the cylinder wall. A tranny cooler (radiator) is perfect to keep your transmission alive for a long time if you drive in hot climate (0 to 50 degrees Celsius). For you seat heater, you need to check the fuse and the relay that operate them. A relay might be the cause of you seat heater. A lot of current to to heat your seat.
After a night of sleep, I think you might need to check exhaust gas leakage from the exhaust manifold down to the catalytic converter. Hot gas will expend your break fluid in your brake line and in your brake maker cylinder (the place you put you brake oil). If you have a exhaust leakage in the engine bay, you will have dust around the engine and oil smell coming from the engine while you drive It. You will also feel hot air coming from the leak when you pas your hand on It while the engine i running.
A distorted brake rotter with a few millimeter of difference can do that and also running winter and 4 season tire in summer time might cause uneven wear to the tire.
The O2 sensor after the catalyst converter will have a high voltage with a high temperature. Higher the exhaust is, higher will have high electricity. You need might need to replace the catalyst converter but you might also check for exhaust gas leak before the catalyst converter top to the manifold just by prevention.

October 16, 2018 at 5:31 am in reply to: Why does Ford say I need new nuts for the top of the catalyst? (2.0L Zetec) #891065Provide to Ford stainless steel M10 nuts. You better to replace a not to rusty nut then a real good rusty nut. A red rusty nut have no functional thread and you can’t remove It even with penetrating oil. You need to use the torch near the engine block. It’s better to prevent then cure.
Well you did your diagnostic. You can replace only the alternator bearing or you can replace the entire alternator.
A bad timing won’t overheat an engine, It’s will make stop in the worst case scenario and run rough in the est scenario.
Air in the coolant engine system can lead to over pressure in the system if the radiator cap spring is defective. The same thing can happen if the car have an coolant overflow to balance the coolant and the pipe from the radiator to the overflow tank is locked. And overheating engine block will crush the head gasket by the physic of metal expansion. Then, your gasket is not longer useful and need to be replaced. An over heating engine can also happens when people have a 6000 RPM while not moving for 2 to 5 minutes.When you change coolant, you need to bleed the air from the engine block and the cooling system to avoid overheat and cold air in the cabin heater.
After thought, you need to bleed the air from the engine block and the cooling system to avoid overheat and cold air in the cabin heater.
You welcome !

This was design as and antipollution system that reuse the fully 100% unburned fuel from the engine and remix It with the fresh fuel of the gas tank. The ECU (Engine Control Unit) take care how mush new gas is added to the mix by using the O2 sensor as result combustion sensor too.
That been said, when you have a leak in the EVAP system, you might smell fuel and earing a hissing noise in the engine bay and, most of the time, near the charcoal canister.
The charcoal canister is a part of the EVAP system because the fresh gas go into to e heated and mix to the unburned gas. In this carcoal canister, you have valves, 7 hoses or more and are located above the muffler and, some time, in the engine bay ; https://www.amazon.ca/Dorman-911-636-Evaporative-Emissions-Charcoal/dp/B00TEFLRBI/ref=asc_df_B00TEFLRBI/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292998720629&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8484413007880589063&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000255&hvtargid=pla-493651298103&psc=1. So you might need to inspect your car while the engine run and performing some tests. Do no run your car while people walk by, It’s unsafe. Speaking of unsafe, use a cigar holder when you spray smoke arroud. The EVAP can leak gas.Well, after you did the IRONITE, I hope you ave replace the coolant. Otherwise, after 15 000 miles, your water pump will have a seal leak and a bad bearing.
Gasket sealer always clog the radiator and many time, the head gasket sealer work. You must only add green coolant after you used a head gasket in bottle sealer. You might need to replace the radiator that cost 100$.The only 3 things that can create a misfire are : Dirty fuel injectors, cover gasket oil leak in the spark plug and the miss aligner timing belt.
A miss align timing belt with the valve timing can cause some problem if not perfectly aligned.
Some videos.SRS is for the air bag computer. So the sensor that feed the machine might be in trouble even if the sensor wire are good. You can check air bag sensor loose connection, but is pretty a pain in the neck considering you need the bumper clips to e replace when you inspect them. On aliexpress.com you can find cheap plastic clip for you car and a good Diagnostic computer that read SRS code and will give you the right defective sensor.
