(called misfire)the bank leaking OBD2 fuel trim way off the scale. radiator leak down test Fails. (a tool with same name) first off the gasket would have to be a double failure to leak to intake runners, water side to air side there are 2 parts, here the plastic top and aluminum main bottom intake manifold. evidence 2 if the gasket leaks below the HLA Lifter area gets wet . and the engine oil looks just like chocolate milk shake. nasty oil , MILKY for sure. if the wet ports fail water hits the pan too. also is not the upper plastic side, dry. and only bottom is coolant wet. see my threat vector photoas you can se , it be a double failure of the gasketif sucking oil see white smoke at tail pipe endor see steam from water (coolant burned) same place.

Where does the power come from to the dash fuse box
These other people have no clue ! Battery voltage to the L/H & R/H inside fuse box's come from different sources. The ignition switch - when in the ACC,on an start positions , plus Mega fuses in the under hood fuse box. L/H BEC BATT 1 fuse # 5 40 amp location - under hood fuse box , plus R/H BEC BATT fuse # 2 30 amp fuse -location under-hood fuse box. Which inside fuse box? has two - left and right .
02 MONTE CARLO LS When I turn the key to the ON position, if the turn signals do not flash the starter will not engage.
3.4L or 3.8L not told.
hot wired the starter solenoid you meant (a SOP act that) all techs do. and good input if yes.
when it failed to crank the next act is SCAN the PCM and let it tell you why it blocks cranking
I sure will. OBD2 scan tools any.
we check all fuses next. be a shame if 50 cent ATC fuse is cause.
Battery voltage does not drop below 11vcd cranking, 12.6v is charged (rested voltage)
well if the starter is dead fix that first, and the automatic trans, blocks the cranking , to the starter
if the car has bad PRNDL switch (fails in park) or alram in the cluster is active is it?
blinkers are last, you can still hand signal by law so fix the starter first.
no need to blink if can't drive or worse stranded with dead starter , how fun is that>?
Chevy. (no starter or GEN replacements right? with battery still connected. sure. not done wrong
the starter runs by the CRANK relay.
under hood relay and Logic runs its coil inside said relay via, BCM etc.
PCM crank fuse not blown.at N/M 11 slot.
the key switch at start , sends 12vdc to CRANK FUSE and that goes to PCM.
the PCM is told to crank, the start.
the car has tranny park cable if not calibrated, or bad, park does not happen and PCM sees that
and will not crank the car with P/N switch showing wrong.
4T65t transmission must be fully in to park and not failing P/N switch
not scanning the PCM first you miss all these facts.
if you have the M/T box now is the time to fess up. really.
here is the PCM connection to the A/T box
the signals are GGGG or 0000 volts DC.
if not the PCM block all cranking
if you scanned the PCM you'd already know this.
the PCM is smart to know that ******* codes from the switch must set a DTC error.
as you can see that it is 4 times safer to not to drive over the kids.
amazing no?

I have a 2002 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 I'm customizing it can the rectifier be moved so it's not just hanging there.
Absolutely, the rectifier on your Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 can be repositioned during a customization project. The rectifier is a crucial part of the motorcycle's electrical system, converting alternating current (AC) from the stator into direct current (DC) to charge the battery and power the bike's electrical components.
While relocating the rectifier, it's important to consider a few key factors:
- Space and Mounting: Assess the available space on the motorcycle to find a suitable location for the rectifier. Ensure that the new position allows for proper mounting and secure attachment without interfering with other components or the bike's functionality.
- Heat Dissipation: The rectifier generates heat during operation, so it's essential to relocate it to an area with adequate airflow for cooling. Mounting it in a well-ventilated area helps prevent overheating issues.
- Wiring and Connections: When moving the rectifier, ensure that the wiring can be appropriately rerouted to reach its new location. Take care to maintain proper electrical connections and ensure a secure, stable wiring setup.
- Protection: Consider adding protective measures, such as shields or guards, to safeguard the relocated rectifier from road debris, water, or other potential hazards.
Modifying the placement of the rectifier may require custom brackets, mounts, or fabrication work to secure it in the desired location. It's crucial to execute the relocation carefully, maintaining proper electrical connections and ensuring the rectifier's safety and functionality.
If you're not confident in performing these modifications yourself, consulting a professional motorcycle mechanic or technician with experience in customizations can be highly beneficial. They can offer guidance, expertise, and ensure that the modifications are carried out safely and effectively.

Toyota Corolla 1.3 Esteem 2014 model, I am having problems with the selection of 4th gear at certain times only,
no country told. Esteem is not really the true makers name.Called SUZUKI but.
no 1.3L here.USA
you said 4th fails but what about 5 and 6 gears?
this Esteem is a Toyota Corolla badge'd as Suzuki. << so manuals on toyota show this.
I think Corolla are listed as the most cars by brand ever made. so documents are easy. find and I did.
called the EC65 transmission.
well checking linkage problems is first and levels next.
it is twin cable complex shfit cable set. both end must be good, and adjusted.
the manual shows the calibration to the ends (the are threaded swivels), these steps are tricky and
not reading the manual will not ever be done correctly
if you run it low on GL4,? the box will be damaged.
why not have shop check it out. and do lube change.
missing parts are not good ever. these were not optional. there.
now inside the box what could be wrong. well
the shift forks are failing for 4th
the lever lever tip bad
forks bad inside box and or shift fork real detent balls missing, bad service cased.
or bad 4th gear lock up dogs or synro ring.
the car has service manual to read. that covers this transmission,
I found it. filler , level check in the FSM
"TOYOTA Genuine Manual Transmission Gear Oil LV" or "API GL-4 and SAE 75W"
GL4 is what it is, the most common man. tranny lube on earth, used for DECADES now.
the manual is here

How to change time on Pioneer Carrozzeria avic hrv22 it has only Japanese, that's what my car's audio/GPS system and, please, help me out with changing language to English and finding maps?Thanks!!
Changing the language and updating maps on a Pioneer Carrozzeria AVIC HRV22, which typically comes with Japanese language settings, can be a bit tricky, but it's possible. Here's a general guide:
- Locate the Settings: First, try to navigate through the menu to find the settings option. It might be represented by a gear icon or a wrench icon.
- Use a Translation App or Guide: If you can't understand the Japanese menu, use a translation app on your smartphone to translate the menu options. Alternatively, you can search online for a guide or manual in English for your specific model.
- Change the Language: Once you've located the settings menu, look for an option related to language settings (???? in Japanese). Select it and then choose English (or ?? in Japanese). Confirm your selection.
- Update Maps: Updating the maps might require accessing a specific section of the menu, typically labeled something like "Map Update" (????). Once you're in that section, follow the prompts to update the maps. This might involve connecting the device to a computer and downloading the updated maps from the manufacturer's website.
- Follow On-Screen Instructions: Throughout the process, pay attention to any on-screen instructions or prompts, even if they're in Japanese. Sometimes, the navigation buttons or layout might remain consistent regardless of the language.
- Reset if Necessary: If you accidentally get stuck or lost in the menus, there might be a reset button somewhere on the device. Pressing this button will restore the device to its factory settings, allowing you to start over.
If you find it challenging to navigate the menu or if the options are not readily understandable, you might want to seek assistance from someone who understands Japanese or consult a professional who specializes in car audio/GPS systems. They can guide you through the process more efficiently.
