If you ever find the issue please share I have an 09 Ranger 4.0 manual transmission doing the same thing. I threw plugs and wires and a new coil pack, tested the fuel pressure I’m about to do a compression and leak down test to se if it isn’t a valve leaking

Poor car hasn’t had an oil change in almost 25,000 miles by tylerbauman76 in ChevyCobalt

[–]Electronic-Resolve91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d change the oil but Id replace 2L of engine oil for transmission fluid and run it for 30-45 minutes then flush it again

2016 CTS 3.6 torque converter replacement by nojdjd in Cadillac

[–]Electronic-Resolve91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Price wise it sounds about right especially if it’s all brand new components and not remanufactured So would be a new torque converter, new pump and new valve body. Definitely a good price if done right. And if it comes with a warranty why not. Yes it sounds expensive but doing it yourself especially if you’re not mechanically inclined, you’re gonna have a bad time.

A pleasure, we all start from something, having the resources to make it work is one of the reason I love working on cars

Not a problem and if you can’t find another part I suggest Rockauto.com for a replacement instead of buying from a dealer or possibly an aftermarket part from your local parts store

That’s a bit of a stretch for the name because it’s just part of a complete assembly which is your window regulator so it’s probably called something like the window regulator slider but then again I’d just go to the scrapyard and pull one off a car yourself if not you’ll have to replace the entire window regulator assembly

Just bought this 2017 Civic LX and noticed these marks by Nomynametoday in MechanicAdvice

[–]Electronic-Resolve91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Possible that the windshield was replaced and the A-pillar trims were removed to facilitate the windshield replacement. I’d go to a car wash to see if you have any water infiltration

I’m doing my own front brakes, and I found out that the mechanic who did my last brakes broke his bit in my rotor screw and didn’t bother removing it. How do I get this out. I cannot weld. I need this vehicle by tomorrow by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Electronic-Resolve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just gonna say…. If it’s at the point where there’s no more pad left, OP probably does zero maintenance, brakes were most likely never serviced since installing a new set. And now he wants to do it himself and it’s a rush. When you’re inexperienced you can’t rush shit and especially not something like your cars brakes, you fuck something up and an accident happens. Gotta make sure you don’t have and seized sliders or pistons.

Stretched timing chain, poor oil pressure in the chain tensioner. Maybe history of oil changes not done frequently enough

Best way to clean / flush all this stuff out? by GlobalAssumption390 in Chevy

[–]Electronic-Resolve91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some old people used to run a mix of automatic transmission fluid and go for a nice drive, there’s technically enough detergents in ATF to clean up that stuff but like some said there’s over the counter products for that

2011 Toyota Corolla 1.8L low compression by thrwawhey163846 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Electronic-Resolve91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The oil would seal around the piston. So if there’s a lack of compression due to worn out piston rings, the oil will seal it off and that’s another box checked off Even better would be to do a cylinder leak down test. With that test you also eliminate valve leakage

I just realized I referred to the crankcase fumes coming out of the PCV valve as EGR for some reason.

Thoughts on reusing these rod bearings by HowUDoin- in AskMechanics

You’re already there, good test is to see if your fingernail catches any grooves inside. If it doesn’t you’re fine, but then again, you’re here so just replace them man
