PHAD- Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostic Great case studies. Amazing explanations of the problems. SMA-South Main Auto. Nothing short of amazing too. More mechanical repairs. The only complain about evil Eric O. -he does not work on volvo or other euro cars. Always great service for my Prius and Ford. Neve...

Agree with Mathew1 on bearing. My guess is water pump vs timing belt tensioner pulley. 2 possible ways i would adress this issue depending on my day and preference. 1: Agressive approach: remove all 3 drive belts while engine is cold and manually turn each component to feel if any bearing/component ...

Weird issue. Hard to condemn anything right away given "starts well", " runs and drive well with plenty of power"... Honorable Volvolugnut might be right with his idea of water pump being behind this issue. 2 possible ways how it might be acting up. 1- pump is worn and requires h...

CN90 before suggesting something please say " I think it can be...". If my knowledge is correct(which i think it is in this case) PEM started to be used in MY2004. If I am not correct, please correct me. Extra level of thank you for volvolugnut for correcting my post. I should try to be mo...

If you dont have experience working on cars, it might get costly(price of tools, space to work on car, mistakes that come with learning ne...

Before buying any parts- check your voltage at alternator. 1 wire to the alternator case, another to positive cable at the alternator(may use alligator jaw connector). You need to first make sure you dont have bad ground or positive cable

Quick and dirty way- take a piece of metal and try to shock the started a little. Idea is to vibrate it a little so it can get "unstuck" and turn the engine over. Some people use light taps with the hammer, long breaker bar... If after that "love tap" still nothing. Best option i...

You found Paul from SD.. you are all set. Highly recommend his book if you have enough free time and car diagnostic and repair is of interest.
