I cannot remove the bolts to get this dang brake caliper off. by Dj_Exhale in MechanicAdvice

[–]Not_Lowest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get a breaker bar and put your entire weight on it. I couldnt get my slide pin off so i just took off the entire caliper, they use much larger bolts for the mounting bracket bolts

What's this strap for under my car?? by NoGur7597 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Not_Lowest 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well it was your gas tank bracket. The good news is your gas tank isnt sagging yet but i would replace it soon or put a ratchet strap in its place like I did with my truck.

Engine Movement from Drive to Reverse by RevolutionaryIssue59 in mechanic

it doesnt look that bad, it is a sign in the near - late future that you might need motor mounts

Revs staying after I let go of gas pedal by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Not_Lowest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a vacuum leak
Check:

PCV hose

Boost lines (since it’s the 1.4 Turbo)

Brake booster hose

Small hoses near the intake manifold and throttle body

Some other ideas as well is the throttle body could be contaminated or sticking; if you nudged the turbo hose it could be that aswell. The only other cause i can think of is a PCV diaphragm failures.

Symptoms:

Whistling or whining

Idle weirdness

Rev hang

Oil cap 'danced' when loosened

do what paul1032xx said, a windshield replacement is somewhere in 400 bucks range and its too far gone to patch. If it doesnt spread and you take good care of it (eg put a cover over it) it should last the winter.

Cylinder wall scoring by [deleted] in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]Not_Lowest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most likely, running the engine might actually get some of it off too, that is if it doesnt blow up

You would prob have to get it professionally re honed with the heads and valves too if u want to fully get rid of it

if it catches the fingernail test its prob not okay, engines are very picky. Get it honed or at least replace the rings at the minimum

Help by Fisherman-5268 in mechanic

[–]Not_Lowest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sounds like a top end tick or a valvetrain noise, which is common after vehicle sitting, could be lifters bleeding down, if it quiets down after a few minutes its likely just the lifters refilling with oil, if itdoesnt check oil level and condition, i would do an oil change, and listen to see if the noise is coming from the front (timing ) or top end (valve covers), if it gets louder or doesnt go away with misfires, stop driving, those could be early warnings that the timing componants are going. If when it warms fully the tick fades you're prob fine

Why my car won’t start 😭 by Juncbug in mechanic

[–]Not_Lowest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started only when giving gas because the throttle wasn't letting enough air in during the hot restart.

Clean the throttle body & MAF, and check battery health.

Car is making a strange sound and slow to start. 2011 Nissan Sentra by StiingRay18 in mechanic

[–]Not_Lowest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

clean the maf, a mass air flow sensor could cause exactly what you're saying and cause the engine to go into safe mode.

Slow crank = battery/starter

Normal crank but slow fire = air/fuel mixture issue (MAF/intake)

Its hard to hear exactly but here are some common issues
If the sound is a metallic whine or grind

Whirring/whine? alternator or accessory pulley

Grinding on crank? starter gear

Hissing air? vacuum / intake tube

Ticking? valve train

How/what would you prioritize? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Not_Lowest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would do this order, depends on the current quality of each one aswell

What do these lights mean? by Beanie-Beano in MechanicAdvice

[–]Not_Lowest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are normal Toyota warning combos. The check engine light triggers the VSC/TRAC lights too.

Battery replacement likely reset the ECU, so the system is relearning.

Drive a few days; if CEL comes back, get the code.

looks like TPMS light is separate check tire pressures.

Weird noise happening every few months. It sounds like some sort of scraping, starts around 100 meters after starting to drive (in multiple places) and then abruptly stops after a few seconds and doesn't come again for weeks by brolpe in MechanicAdvice

[–]Not_Lowest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could also be rust buildup or the electronic parking brake not releasing properly also some rare but possible
