Why does your low mile 2001 5.2 liter have half the power of your 1998 work truck with 300000 kms?
you have to consider weight. Is it the 1500-2500-3500? Size of tires? Size of wheels? If all these are the same you may want to check out your engine. Maybe your not running on all 8.
What could cause high hydrocarbon readings on a vehicle smog inspection test?
High hydrocarbon readings on a vehicle smog inspection test could be caused by faulty ignition components, such as spark plugs or ignition coils, a clogged air filter, a malfunctioning fuel injection system, or incomplete combustion due to a rich fuel mixture or misfiring cylinders. Regular maintenance and tune-ups can help prevent these issues.
It's possible that the water pump is failing or that there is a blockage in the cooling system. I would also recommend checking the radiator hoses for leaks or restrictions and ensuring that the cooling fans are functioning properly. It may be helpful to have a mechanic perform a pressure test on the cooling system to identify any potential issues.
Where is the PCV valve on a 1989 Ford F-250 with a 5.8 L 351 windsor?
ITS HARD TO SEE BUT IT SHOULD AT THE REAR OF THE INTAKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT
How do you remove a Toyota Sequoia radio?
Easy job on the 2002. Turn the two center air vents down and look inside above them. You will see a screw in each. Remove the screws and the face plate will come off. The radio is then bolted into the dash and can easily be removes. I hope no car radio theives are reading this!
How do you replace head gasket in 1985 Toyota truck?
This list is specific to the 1992 Cherokee with the 4.0l I6 engine- hope it helps: loosen and remove the belt(s) Unbolt the exhaust/intake manifolds (there are 13 bolts i think... maybe 15) and discard the gasket- one bolt goes through the power steering mount unbolt the valve cover about 15 bolt unbolt the head (all remaining bolts on the top, and going in sideways from the AC compressor discard head gasket, and clean ALL gasket mating surfaces Put it all back together. MAKE SURE you follow the manual's bolt torquing pattern!!! otherwise you just did a bunch of work for nothing. By removing the head and replacing the gasket.
What causes a 99 Buick Regal to loose all power while driving?
I have a '95 buick regal with a similar problem. I took it to the local dealer, who changed the crankshaft positioning sensor and one of the ignition modules and the problem was fixed. I researched it on the internet and found several other cases with the same sensor problem. You can in theory change it yourself, but it's not easy - I think I paid $200-250 for parts and labor.
How do you add oil to the front end on a 1989 Toyota pickup 4X4?
there should be a drain fill plug on the front your diff. Since you have the IFS probably the easierst way to get oil into it would be to use along piece of fuel line from the top of your engine to the fill plug and just fill it from under the hood rather fan fighting with the bottle underneith the truck.
How do I loosen the tensioner pulley on a 1996 Toyota 4Runner?
This means you have a 4.0L. There is no other way.....
How do you time your 92 Toyota pickup?
If you do not know this most basic automotive skill, I suggest you take it to a shop and let someone who knows what their doing, check the timing. If it is beyond the +or- 3 degrees have them adjust it back to spec's.
You do not say why in your question. Usually timing is good for long periods of time, what makes you think it is out of spec?
Buy a 'timing light' and follow the instructions that come with it.
How can you raise the ride height for a 4 cylinder 1992 4x2 extra cab?
you can raise the torsion bars in the front and put blocks in the back is the cheapest way out put in a body lift $100-150 for a kit plus a weekend
but this can cause other issues with the radiator, shifter, and gas tank
Could b an O2 sensor OR a Stuck open thermostat or one that's 2 cold-EVEN a clogged muffler or converter-many other things can cause your condition.
You were careful not to get any dirt on the hotwire/resistor in the sensor? I had a dead bug get on mine, and it didn't get burnt off like it was supposed to. This thing is very sensitive, so any debris on the wire will give you problems. You did plug in the IAT sensor, right? There is also a chance that you have the wrong MAF sensor.
PCV stands for positive crankcase ventilation.
They are usually right in plain sight on top of the valve cover. If you had one you probably could have changed it yourself in about 30 seconds or less.
A PCV valve helps keep a constant pressure within the engine block by releasing oil fumes when they get to a certain pressure and sending them into the fuel system to be reburned with the gas.
While they can be inexpensive, they can be very hard to locate and remove on several makes of cars and trucks. Some are internal and cannot be replaced, meaning they are located inside the valve cover.
The PCVs that can be replaced should be replaced every 15 to 60 thousand miles depending on the make and engine you have.
Shop around for a better price than you paid, $12.00 is a little steep.
It stands for positive crankcase ventilation. And what they told u was right about replacing it. All it does is prevent condensation build up and burn fuel fimes that get by the rings. The condensation will build up and create sludge and that is a bad thing because it will block oil galleries and return holes and ur engine will run oil dry and it will be fried.
pos.crankcase vent keeps pressures even in your eng.returns fumes to the intake threw the air filter houseing.easy to check shake it if it rattles it should be good put it back
The answers are correct as to what it does, and how it is to be checked, though usually the "prescribed" way to check it is not just shaking, but trying to suck, or blow, air in both directions (it should be one-way).
However I have never heard of routinely replacing this item, and have known some cheapskates actually "revitalizing" them by spraying them with engine cleaner.
As to price, $9 is too cheap for a professional oil (and filter?) change, so they nailed you for the valve, by its cost, and probably by its need.
There isn't any free lunch.
buy one and keep it in your glove box. change it every other year. it is an emmission control device. it takes blow by and directs back to be used again. it is cheap insurance and prevents sludge. change it every time you get a tune up also change your airfilter out at the same time. If your airfilter is oil soaked, it probably due to a worn pcv valve. change the valve first then change the airfilter.
The PCV Valve, or Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve is an emission control device that routes unburned crankcase blowby gases back into the intake manifold where they can be reburned. The PCV system is one of the oldest emission control devices, and also one of the most beneficial. Besides totally eliminating crankcase emissions as a source of air pollution, the constant recirculation of air through the crankcase helps remove moisture which otherwise would cause sludge to form. Thus the PCV valve extends the life of the oil and engine. The PCV valve requires little maintenance. The valve and filter should be replaced somewhere around 30,000 to 50,000 miles(see the vehicle owners manual for service intervals).
PCV is an acronym for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. This valve is needed to relieve the pressure built up in the crankcase that is created by the heating of the air inside the engine. If this valve were not present and the pressure went unchecked, it would blow out the seals and gaskets inside your engine.
PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. This replaceable valve replaced the vent pipe on the engine, this got rid of the fumes and or pressure that builds up in the crankcase, nowadays the crankcase does not vent into the environment. with the PCV valve these fumes are returned to the intake manifold and are mixed in with the fuel intake stroke to be burned and so create a cleaner exhaust.
Pcv valveI don't think a car has been built in the last 40 years that doesn't have a PCV valve. My 1965 Galaxie had one, but my 64 Ford pickup didn't. PCV means "Positive Crankcase Ventilation", in other words actively sucking junk out of the crankcase rather than just letting it be vented to the air.The PCV valve allows unburned stuff that blows by the piston to be collected and re-burned rather than just vented to the air, without causing your engine to stall out at idle. This results in a serious reduction in air pollution at virtually no cost, which is why it was the first emissions control device employed.
Look on top of the valve cover. There should be a knob sticking out with a small diameter rubber hose attached to it. It will be inserted in a rubber grommet. You can just pull it out of the valve cover. If it's clogged it will be unnecessarily blowing junk into the air; if it's leaking, it will seriously foul up operation of your engine, especially at idle. They cost about two bucks and you can change it with your bare hands. Replace often. The book says 24000 miles/24 months. I always write the replacement date on them with a Sharpie so I can remember when I replaced it last.
How do you time a 1985 Dodge pickup with a 318 motor?
like any other engine turn the engine until the number one piston is top dead center and then install the distributor where the rotor button is on the plug wire for number one cylinder it should start there and final adjust by twisting distributor until running smooth
