The first thing you need to do is have the engine control computer scanned for fault codes, this is called a OBD2 fault code test. Autozone dos this testing for free.
Hi,it might be you maff sensor,you can check this by waiting for the car to warm up when it starts to run bad stop engine take the plug connector of the maff sensor,if when you do this the car runs better (it wont run like it dos e when the maff sensor is working properly,but will run,)then replace the maff sensor.
please dont drive the car with the maff sensor off for a long time as this will also couse damidge.
hope this was some help.
Hi,lets start at the begining,resons for this can be,firmastat not working properly,fan switch not working properly so fan dose not switch on,waterpump not working properly so not pumping water around properly,radiater got sludge in it so is not cooling properly,or headgasket broken,
first start engine and wait for car to start up then when the tempreture gage gose up to normal running temp lisson for the fan if it dosnt come on proberly temp-switch for the fan,if fan dose come on switch engine off and check that the hoses to the rad are bouth hot,if that is ok,wait for the car to cool down a bit so you can take off the exspantion tank-cap put a cloth or some thing over the cap as there is a lot of presure and hot water,so be carfull not to burn yourself,
when done start car and look to see if the water is moveing around freely if so then the pump must be ok swich engine off,last one take of the oil-filler-cap and look at the oil it should be brown in coulor,if its a musterd coulor then it means the head-gasket has gone,well although ive sied all this thay have a tool on the market wich the garage use to pump presure in the water system wich shows up eney leeks,if you are loseing water apart from the bubbling water that comes out of the exspantion tank that will show it up,I wish you the best and hope its one of the miner jobs.
You would need to know which warning light you are dealing with. CHECK could be a check engine light, or check gauges light. A check engine light means the computer sees a problem with the performance of the engine that can affect fuel mileage or emissions.
simon806 i have the same problem i also change the spark plug.but what im doing write now i put in a full thank 1 bottle of injector cleaner.when i do that the car drives better.but i think is a gasoline filter but im not so sure thats why i try with the cleaner if its doesnt work i let them scan it.it could be also a senser problem but why im not sure because the chek engine dos not go on.ok mail me [email protected]
could have the wrong dip stick holster or wrong dip stick there sould be a bolt holding the holster down in the side of your motor if you losen the bolt take it out an chek the seal around the holster if the hoster dose not snug in our out you can buy a new one and try that but im just taking a wild guess or while you have the holster out look down it an make sure it dos not have something jammed in it
