Posted ByDave SynderI am writing back again regarding a tranny problem in my friends 97 5.7L Camaro. Last time, your advice for my tranny problem in 89 firebird transAM saved me several hundred dollars by just replacing the lockup solenoid valve for just $120 while the auto shop were trying to get it rebuild. My car is still running good. So when my friend’s Camaro started giving him tranny problem. I thought I would get your advice again.
If a dipstick breaks off this could be the reason behind the warning signals on the dashboard. This is easily remedied. The scrap O2 sensor recycling or faulty airflow system in some cars are the reasons a check engine light may blink on. It is extremely difficult to gauge if a person is not in fact, a mechanic.
Never forget to check for any kind of tools, jumper cables, additives, or a spare tire mistakenly placed in the old car and forgotten as these tools and surplus can be sold seperately. Look beneath the seats for money or personal items. You should possess one copy of the car deed in order to save the vehicle, if stolen from being turned in.
Whenever you do not have brand new gaskets to position between the pipe sections, either purchase some brand-new ones or you can utilize the old ones if they are the correct diameter. It is advisable to have new ones to prevent exhaust leakage afterwards.
Always take it for a test drive even if you know catalytic converter recycling jack about cars If they wont let you take it for a text drive walk away You’ll know if it feels ok to drive. Check the biting point, if its very high it may mean the clutch is on the way out. Make sure you don’t have to put your foot through the floor to break; it may have worked for Fred Flintstone but it wont do you any favors.
Depending upon the type of hangers you have on your car, place the brand-new hangers onto the exhaust pieces first; this is normally a less complicated method to put the pieces back on.
I am sure there will be copycats of CarMD in the near future, but they have set the bar. The only thing that would be better is if you could use it on older cars too. I do not know why you can’t, most 80’s cars have computers, and I had them plug in my ’86 Camaro at AutoZone.
