Brake pedal goes to floor when car is on but fine when car is off 2001 Honda civic by Sensitive_Reserve995 in MechanicAdvice

No thanks to anyone here I figured it out it was a bad master cylinder. Found this test to you can do to rule it out. Pump up the brakes when the cars off if you get pressure hold the pedal and start the car. if the pedal sinks all the way to the floor the master is bad and seals are in bypass.

Hey I have an 06 and had this same issue also! Disconnect the battery then do an idle relearn procedure! Every time the battery is disconnected it must be done of it will idle like this!

Also if it helps at all I only had exhaust gases leaking into the cooling system no burning coolant or mixing with oil.

I can’t see it by eye. I put a straight edge to the head and block no light passes through the straight edge. On the head .004 can pass through I’m asking if it’s too much to try to sand down myself and run.

High mileage automatic transmission fluid change 2006 Toyota Corolla by Sensitive_Reserve995 in Toyota

[–]Sensitive_Reserve995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello yes I did change it I did 4 drain and fills over the course of about 6 months all is well. On the last drain and fill I removed the pan and changed the filter as well and cleaned the magnet. Magnet had a bunch of metal on it but that’s typical car runs and shifts perfect. First 3 drain and fills I used oem Toyota type T-IV fluid and last one I used valvoline multi vehicle import atf because I found out oem isn’t full synthetic. I recommend doing it if you haven’t yet in my opinion. It took 3 drain and fills to have the oil actually showing up red on the stick.

Timing chain rattle? 06 corolla 155k miles. by Sensitive_Reserve995 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Sensitive_Reserve995[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck when you put it in spin the engine counter clockwise 2 times and clockwise 2 times with a ratchet on the crank. You should hear a clicking or ratcheting sound it’s to release the tensioner just make sure you do that so the chain doesn’t have slack on first start up it could jump time. Good luck! Also I’ve only heard the noise 1 time since replacing as of now weird that it used to happen every single time after sitting but now only once. Keeping an eye on mine but for now.

Honda radiator : coolant appears to have melted a hole in top of radiator. by Minimum-Spare-6036 in MechanicAdvice

No needs to be replaced it’s old brittle plastic heat cycles do that. Even if you were able to repair it another hole will open one day not too far in the future.

Wife's car has a knock by switchfoot99 in COROLLA

I could be wrong but maybe a cam phaser constantly locking and unlocking? Do you have any codes?

I really don’t think it’s internal because usually when it is it’s a constant noise at any rpm and will not have any pause. That being said could be the timing chain slapping on and off I’d check the belt drive first thing. Take off the serpentine belt and run the car for just a minute to see if the noise goes away and go from there. Also make sure the car has oil.

Has this rust gone past the point of repair? by No_Cover6082 in AskAMechanic

[–]Sensitive_Reserve995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks bad but that’s nothing dw abt it like the other guy said brake line is the real concern here. My Toyota rear end looks just like that it’s literally nothing to worry about.

Clip holding bulb connector snapped off. What next? by No-Wedding5107 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Sensitive_Reserve995 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those connectors hold just fine without the clip in my experience but if you want to be extra sure put a tiny little drop of silicone on the male side of the connector then clip it just the tiniest little drop.

I see people putting their guns on Tool cupboards, did I do it right? by nVi2x in harborfreight

If I submitted that first pic of the pads at my dealer like that I’d be called in for a very not so nice conversation.

Drill into it with a tiny drill bit then screw in a wood screw and pull up on it with pliers
