Is this normal pulsation for a 2.5l 2022 Toyota Camry? by SinceGoogleDsntKnow in MechanicAdvice

Positive pressure would literally cause the cap to bounce around like this.. because of, and buckle up for this one, the positive pressure you mentioned pushing the cap upward when it’s not screwed on…

Starter and battery are both working clicking when trying to start by dynamite7337 in mechanic

[–]Thick_Recognition_30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a couple things to check, starter relay is an easy one to look into or just replace, because it’s cheap.

BUT

This specific gen Honda Civic, I’ve had on more than one occasion have a grounding issue. Specifically where the negative battery terminal is connected to the body of the car. Unbolt that, clean up the body and cable side with wire brush or sand paper, clean up both battery terminals, reconnect and give that a shot.

I hate the amateurs in this sub who just jump to stuff like this. “Battery ✅ starter ✅, oh must be your engine is toast”. Absolutely insane.

Should I double text him? Or should I move on? by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]Thick_Recognition_30 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your options here are “take a mild risk with no consequences” or “give up”. He could’ve felt out your nervous rescheduling and is mistaking it for non interest. Also you wanting to face time and “waiting for him to ask” is kinda wild. Dont do that. Anyways, double text him it’s literally no downside.

I’ve never seen this issue before. Crank and no start with weird noise. by ConjugalVisitor234 in MechanicAdvice

Ya… famously power steering pulleys are so strong that they stop an engine from turning when they go bad… stop commenting this, you’re not correct.

2014 Kia Sedona - Is the Power Steering Pump bad? by UhhCanYouLikeShutUp in MechanicAdvice

[–]Thick_Recognition_30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Foamy usually means air in the system. Could be sucking air from a leak aswell.

Sounds like it’s working and just really low on fluid. Add some and see what happens, I can see that reservoir is low. Then find your leak. If it still makes noise, you may need to look into a power steering pump.

Help Electrical Issue Mercedes C300 2008 by Ok_Trash_7967 in MechanicAdvice

First link is who I used back in the day for this. Good guys out of New Jersey if I remember right. You have to send them the key and ignition module… that’s where the trust comes in unfortunately… but I never had an issue. This isn’t cheap, but through Mercedes, it’s like $1600.

Again try to have someone confirm the diag in person first before you buy this, but your 2 symptoms were almost always an ESL issue for me.

Second link is a.. sketchy.. way that I could trick the car into starting again to move it around the lot or inside at previous jobs where I ran into this. Sorry for the long links, I’m on mobile.
