The flame sensor is easly replaced, but easier to just clean. Only use steel wool never sand paper to clean a flame sensor. Post the exact model and I will publish the manual on my company website and post the link for you to download, print, etc.

    manual for your pool heater can be found here: http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/MiniMaxC...

    If the heater runs for a short time then turns itself off it could be a flow switch or temperature limit opening. The manual does contain the wiring diagrams, but unless you have experience servicing these units, I do not suggest you attempt it but rather call a good mechanical contractor to service your heater. If you post your general location, I can recommend a few near you that have good reps and quality customer service.

BMW 318i starts fine but once you drive it for 5 minutes switch it off, it wont start again.

sounds like a engine sensor i'd guess at the crank sensor but to be sure you would need to get the OBD codes read , this will give the exact fault so wont waste money trying sensor(s) on a hit an miss basis,you can buy a code reader online not expensive just make sure it covers your vehicle make then you have a valuable diag equipment for future use

Lens cap error message

hello,you actually need to remove the battery for a while,say about 10 minutes,check the contacts where the battery connects,if any sign of corrosion,then use a fine grade of wet and dry(available from any car accessories shop) and gently remove the corrosion,have the battery checked,as lithium batterys suddenly die off at a critical stage,although they appear to run for ages without any undue problems,replace with a known good battery,switch on your camera,but don't do any snapshots for a while,then switch off again,do this a few times,before you begin using the camera,as i had exactly the same problem,and cured my anomaly .hope that helps, cheers.

I replaced my water pump in my 1999 gmc yukon my check gauge light stayed on and temp gauge stayed over to hot side. can i reset it?

Not exactly.
The check gauge warning light is on because the temp gauge is reading hot.
Does the temp gauge read hot as soon as you turn the key switch on, or not until the engine as run for a few minutes ?
If it reads hot without the engine being started, there may be a short in the wiring or the sensor may have failed.

AFTER TIMING 1991 FORD THUNDERBIRD ENGINE WILL RUN BUT DIES AFTER FEW MINUTES

First take the mass air flow sensor off and clean the small thin wires inside using a non-chlronated brake cleaner then let it dry for 10 minutes then re-install it and see if the problem still exist.If the problem still exist then check the fuel pressure while its running. It should be 30-40 psi if its the 3.8 engine non-superchared and 30-45 for the 5.0 engine.If its not within these specs then replace the fuel pump.
