Hi Guys, I kept pulling an evap code and got under the hood and realized that a small hose had dry rotted and ripped but i cant figure out what the hose is called. It is a small cheap hose that goes from the EGR to the right side of the instake manifold. It also has a 1 way air valve on it that I br...

you the man! I found one of my hoses were lose car runs fine now! While I got your attention the final problem on the car is that I believe the rack and pinion is shot because it got hyperextended due to a missing bumper on a control arm. Can I replace the rack myself or do i need to jack up the eng...

Sorry I should have informed you. When the MAF is NOT hooked up i get the MAF malfunctioning code which is obvious. When I have the MAF hooked up the car shows no codes until you get it to stall and then it pulls Turbo Wastegate Code. Let me know if there is anything else I can tell you. I have a st...

Hi guys, I have a 98 volvo s70 which runs really badly. I recently replaced the alternator and the starter and in order to loosen the belt I had to remove the PCM, which I removed without disconnecting the battery. The car runs like shit now, but when you disconnect the MAF it runs good enough to dr...

This caused the alternator to not be able to completey ground to the car which eventually made the new alternator fail. I put the old one back in and voila! Thanks for the ad...

yes 2 cables attach to starter pos. post. one alt. to starter, the other starter to batt. So i checked i was wrong....I do have 2 cables attached to the positive terminal on the starter Try to jiggle the key while it is position II and see if things change. The electrical portion of the ignition sw...

dont you think its ironic that I changed the starter 2 days before. I'm thinking that there might have been 2 cables going to the starter and I only have one on there....

I checked the voltage between the alternator big + terminal and batt + terminal, and the voltage is around .5 volts. When I turn the key to the II position the battery light flashes. Now another piece to the puzzle is the when I have pull the negative terminal off the batt while running, sometimes t...

Hi Guys, Here is my issue. Battery light went on then SRS then Tracs....etc. Check engine light came on, checked it and sure it enough the message was low voltage. So I put in a new alternator power steering pump belt and new starter because they were all getting close to dead. I charged the battery...
