What would cause the engine to rock while idling and when it gets to between 55 and 65 MPH?
motor mount? I suspect you have a broken motor mount.
An ignition miss would occure at those times. Especially at 50-55 mph, I would suspect secondary ignition components... Plugs, wires, etc...
A replacement cat converter is very expensive and it is unlikely the cat needs replaced. Is the engine warning symbol lighting up? If it is the chances are that the sensor on the cat is either dirty or faulty.
The best way to determine if your cat is faulty is to have the exhaust emissions checked this will show if the cat is working properly or not.
A replacement cat can be fitted by any exhaust center, but expect to pay big bucks if you have to replace.
Hello,If you are running your Capri on plain water only chences are immense that your water pump impeller has completely corroded away or simply desintegrated due to years of friction in water and then merely a rough edged razor sharp flat dish remains rather then an i^peller, which obviously does not circulate the water as required.Recommend you check water circulation by removing top hose at thermmostat and remove thermostat on cold engine an then start up and observe if water is actually being pressed out/forced trough the themostat housing. Dont let it run long, just to see if circulation is really there, otherwise add water continuously without pressurising the cooling circuit (garden hose not pressed into radiator cap but at a distance and merely let water run without pressure) at radiator cap to obseve a few minutes more

Answerthey all do that. lol. i have a 1991 it does the same thing if you let the car ideal. you will see the fan wont even kick on until its up that high. i thought something was wrong with my car also. then i saw photos of others on eBay of the dash with the car running and there was just as high as mine.you can pull the fuss out off one of the relay under the hood next to the left front of the fire wall it's in the corner cover in rubber pull the rubber off pull the fuss out and the fan will stay on but when you stop the car put the fuss back in or you might have a brokin vacum hose that will make car run hot or a headgasket might be going out that if you radater is goodHow do you clear a P0700 code?
P0700 : EATX code present. It just means that the transmission computer has a code in it
You have to repair and clear the code in the transmission computer
The check engine light turns on to inform the driver that the computer has detected a 'fault' and that the driver should address the problem. If the light is on constantly, it's considered a "minor" fault but something that needs attention as soon as you get a chance. If the light is flashing it means that something serious has been detected and you need to deal with it NOW!
Unfortunately there is a whole class of "faults" that clear themselves and don't show up until next time the problem is detected... and it may not be until you go 65mph.
You may need to connect the diagnostic code reader to the vehicle then go for a drive. You should be able to have someone with you so that one of you can drive while the other is operating the code scanner.
That kind of problem seems like a pain but usually they aren't too bad once you have the code scanner helping you.
It can also be a problem with OTHER systems, such as the anti-lock brakes. If that's the case you'll need to take the vehicle to a dealer or a brake specialist.
How do you clear the engine fault indicator on a 2001 Town and Country?
You will need to take it somewhere that has a scan tool that can read the code then erase it. If something is wrong (a bad sensor,etc.) the light will come back on.
The check engine light comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle.
Generally, a check engine light is lit when there is a problem in the emissions or somthing that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions.
If the check engine light is flashing a misfire has been detected

If it stays on steady, then you might have a bad driver in your engine control computer. If it throbs when you're cranking, that's relatively normal.
What needs to be done when check engine light comes on in your 1990 Oldsmobile 88 Royale?
Take it to a mechanic who will use a computer to read a problem code generated by the car's computer. He will repair the problem and reset the light.
Plain English problem codes are not used to encourage car owners to take their cars to the dealership for repair. However, any competent mechanic will have the handheld computer required to read the codes.
AnswerPull the codes from the computer, match the code to the troubleshooting procedure, follow the procedure to find the source. Repair the source, light will go out if that was the only problem. There are "monitors" or self tests the computer runs the car through a drive cycle, if a problem occurs, it may not run all of the self tests until that problem is taken care. Therefore, another problem may exist. It is emission related. OR hook up a scanner that is capable of clearing codes, and hope that none are still active.No way that I'm aware of. A "diagnostic tester" will not give you the magic answer. It will give you a code that narrows down the problem area. It does not tell you what the exact cause is. For example, You get a code that says O2 Sensor 2 bank 2 lean condition. That shouldn't be interpreted as "replace oxygen sensor" Autozone will generally tell you that though. An exhaust leak will provide more oxygen and show a lean condition among others.
What does a check engine light looks light on a 2001 ford winstar?
On a 2001 Ford Windstar the check engine light looks like a picture of an engine
just to the right and a little bit lower than the ( O/D OFF light )
Is there a way to reset ck engine light in 2002 infinity QX4 using the ignition?
I have not found one. There once was a post online stating it could be done by pressing and depressing the gas peddal and turning the ignition off and on in the right sequence. Tried it several times and it didn't work. AutoZone sometimes will do it for free. No harm in asking.
(Alternate method) This will work if there only was a temporary problem like a loose gas cap or whatever item that caused the problem was corrected:
1. Lift Hood and set brake for security.
2. Disconnect both positive and negative cables to the battery using a #10 open and closed end box wrench.
3. Since you did that you may as well clean the terminals (optional).
4. Reconnect the cables to the battery.
Re-start vehicle. Your clock and radio settings will need to be reset.
This method should clear only erroneous check engine lights. If light stayed on there is a larger issue that needs repair before engine or smog control damage. If the check engine light went out but after driving for 10 to 20 minutes the light came back on you can try the method one more time. If the light goes back on after that then there is a problem that will requires repair.
Many part stores or auto repair facilities will use their portable hand held computer to diagnose the problem. Depending upon the auto repair facility they may not charge you a fee but hope to get your business. It takes all of 10 minutes to do in the parking lot.

- 1 can be addressed by sometimes tapping on the air flow box (little black box on top of the assembly - off of the air filter) and seeing if that loosens the dirt. If not, you need to get a special fit hex-star bit to unscrew the box and open it up.
- 3 is the most expensive, as oxygen sensors cost approx. $70 apiece to replace. If you're going to do one, might as well do both. This should be your last resort though. (Find out exactly which codes you get before investing the money into oxygen sensors.)
- 4 air flow assemblies cost about $85 and are relatively easy to put on.
