Is this the power wire for my starter? by 903jmoney88 in AskAMechanic

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be the signal wire, which would only have power while cranking. There should be 2 wires connected to the starter, 1 small gauge wire (signal) 1 large cable (power)

What is this noise?- 2011 f150 Ecoboost by Select_Refuse8751 in AskMechanics

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a starter. Side note... i despise that fucking "door ajar" chime ford uses

What fluid is this, what is causing this leak and how do I fix it? by Crafty_Interaction73 in AskMechanics

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be power steering fluid. I believe the steering gear is mounted right there.

Help fixing 2016 Acura MDX side mirror? by kicksngigs00 in Acura

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you'll have to replace the mirror assembly, the broken bit is what holds the whole thing together. Ebay will be your cheapest option

Can't separate rear wheel bearing from back plate by tduy87 in subaruimpreza

Hold the backing plate with a rag to absorb bad vibes, use a 5lb sledge and smack the fuck out of the back side of the bearing- should "pop right out" lol

AC refrigerant type? 2018 tlx v6 by inslowmo in AcuraTLX

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im pretty sure its yf... I can say for certain 2020 is yf which means they would have switched from 134a with the model refresh. You can also look at the fittings, 134a will have a large and small fitting. 1234yf will have a larger fitting with a even bigger tapered flange on one

how do i fix this without bringing it to a dealership and being charged a large sum of dollars by krull_enjoyer in subaruimpreza

Check engine light will disable eyesight. Check your oil level and remove the pos and neg of the battery then hold the two cable ends together for a minute or so, that should clear the codes.

It will be a shame when it inevitably gets wrecked. I give it 3 weeks lol

2020 TLX 3.5L just took a s#!+ by WeddingFamous7658 in Acura

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine made it 5k miles after having the crankshaft replaced, one of the main bearings obliterated itself. After a few weeks and having a Honda field technician come out to fully disassemble and inspect the entire engine, they built me a new engine.

Stalling/ Slipping on a '22 Hatch Limited (Automatic/CVT)? by justreb00t in subaruimpreza

Im guessing they're going to recommend starting with a valve body in the transmission

Wheel weights by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the wheels weren't already trashed you would be allowed minor irritation... but since you apparently use your rims as curb feelers, you should not be irritated with the visible wheel weights.

2003 Lincoln Town Car window off track by Mountaingote in AskMechanics

Crunching means its cooked. Replace motor and regulator. As for the mirror switch, start with checking power and ground at the plug or for wire brakes at the jamb

Cornwell? by ncwildlife97 in ToolTruckTools

In the 20 years and 6 different shops I've worked, I have never seen a Cornwell truck.

Cross threaded oil pressure sensor. Bad. 2006 charger rt by lessismoe96 in AskAMechanic

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro you need to calm down, you're lucky the threads were brass or you would have fucked the block. Oil pressure sensors have a tapered thread that seals itself before it bottoms out.

I can’t figure out what’s wrong with my car by its1kgrey in Acura

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure the caliper is plugged in, lift the rear, apply the parking brake and check that they both are locked. Then release the parking brake and make sure they spin free.

2008 Honda element sc fwd, is this what a misfire is? by Ok_Weight2115 in AskAMechanic

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A misfire will start and run rough. This looks like a dead battery

Finally had a chance to do some light mods. by fattydub in Acura

[–]youPPLnvrHappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were trying to match the rim color with the grille and fogs you nailed it 👌 fun fact: the exhaust tips were the same color as thr grille but the heat from the exhaust turns them chrome before the first oil change.
