The radio in my car is locked. I have seen the various threads about how to unlock it. I know how to unlock it I am just having a hard time with leaving it on for 3 hours without the engine running. The battery always goes dead before 3 hours time is up. So my question is this. How does the radio kn...

well what has happened is i did something that i know i shouldnt have done and that was to turn the engine over using a tool that turns the cam. when i did that it jumped, what i thought was just one tooth. the strange thing is that i have been able to turn this engine over by hand a full revolution...

I am really confused at this point. I have searched on this forum quite a bit between yesterday and today and I found lots of really great write ups on replacing the timing belt. The problem is that I have not found any pics showing the exact marks and how they need to line up. I am not sure which m...

So in that case that is probably the cause of the P0455 code but probably ...
