SOURCE: clutch pedal goes down to floor but doesnt come

This is usually caused by air thats trapped or is circulating in the system. Did you bleed the slave after you installed the master cylinder? The slave cylinder could be bad also. When bleeding the slave cylinder make sure the bleeder valve is pointing up. Sometimes this requires removal. Good luck...i hope this helps

SOURCE: oil pressure fluctuating

The sensor could be failing to read the lower pressure when the engine RPM slows down. Or the pump could be failing. I would replace the sensor and see if that doesn't correct the problem

SOURCE: oil pressure gauge reads normal when first starts.

Two things...when it reads zero, is there any engine noise (tapping or knocking)? After you rev the engine does the pressure read normal at idle and function normally, or does it go back down? Either way, you should not drive the vehicle 'till you have a mechanical gauge (yours is electro-mechanical) put on there and the actual pressure is tested. The condition may be a bad sending unit, a bad bearing or possible obstructed oil pump screen. The repair is obviously different for each one and the price is as well.

Toyota Prado 97 (petrol). Can jump start but has loss of power when put in gear or lights, whipers or anything else turned on. Battery indicator says ok.

It sounds like you might have a bad alternator. You can't always trust you gauges. Jump it off again and check the voltage at the battery. You should have 14 volts. If it is less then that you have a bad alternator. Good luck.

My 2002 Trail Blazer revs up to 3000rpm's trying to move from a stop~Then to get it to change gears I have to rev it and let up on the gas until it gets to hi~It's running at 3000 to 3500rpm's at 70mph~Is...

hi this could be the clutch slipping, if its an automatic transmission, try checking the fluid levels it could be low, or the transmission fluid might need replacing, make sure when you check the fluid the vehicle is on idle if it is an automatic, but if it is a manual transmission, best way the find out if it is the clutch, is to put it in 4th gear, put the parking brake on as hard as you can get it, make sure you are not parked close to anything, then slowly lift the clutch up, if it stalls out, its ok, and just might need adjusting, if it just sits there then you need to change the clutch....hope this helps

Got 300zx thats sat for 8 yrs car starts and runs good but clutch is staying engaged.I have heard i need to check slave cylinder if so where is it located

Slave cylinder is located on the side of the transmission behind the main flywheel housing and points towards the engine. Follow the clutch pipe down from the master cylinder. The slave is about 12cm long by 4cm in diameter with a bleed nipple on the top. You may want to change the fluid after 8 years! What can happen if the car has not been moved is that the clutch disc becomes bonded to the flywheel by corrosion, exactly in the same way the brake pads can seize the rotors. Make sure the wheels are free to rotate. Lift a rear wheel clear of the ground and chock the front wheels, as you start the car the differential will transfer the power to the lifted wheel. With the foot hard on the clutch take the engine up to about 2000rpm, hold the accelerator at that speed and pull the hand brake on and off slowly. With luck the snatch of the handbrake biting make break loose the clutch plate. You will know when it breaks free as the engine will rev freely. When you do get it free, slip the clutch for a while to scrape clean the friction plate on the flywheel. Likewise when the car is moving ride the brakes to polish the rotors of corrosion.

When i hit the gas i feel a clunk in the steering

check the motor mounts. It is possible that you are hearing the engine hit the firewall. You need yourself and one other person to perform a test. With the hood open start the engine. Put the emergency brake on and have one person stand on either side of the engine. The other person in the driver seat hold the brake pedal down hard with your left foot, put the car in gear (drive, then reverse) and rev the motor a few times. The person out side the car should look for the engine moving when the engine rpm increase.

Engine mounts

Pretty easy fix.
1)Open the hood
2)Start van up
3)Put shifter into Drive with one foot on brake hard and one on Gas real light
4)Rev the motor, see if motor lifts and which side lifts
5)Put trans in Reverse,Step on Brake hard and rev the motor to see if engine lifts again
6)Mark on paper which side or both that lifts more than 3/4 " or so and it will tell you which motor mount or that both mounts are bad.Good thing to know so you dont get sandbagged by a disreputable Company or P
7) Jump on Craigslist on advertise that you are in need of a mechanic to change you motor mounts and you are willing to come up with a couple cases of beer for payment after the work is done..Shouldnt take more than 2 hours tops to do
