My photon dies really quickly when im not even using it. I looked on my battery usage and my phone idle was using up to 67% of my battery. Why is this? Its never done this before
I took it to the shop recently and they said it was the ecm not able to get messages. I can run the truck without it ever dying if I unplug the coolant temperature sensor which I find odd. I did obd 1 self test with some paper clips and got code 21 which is throttle body sensor (high). Im...
...have an excessive gas smell? Our 1994 Dodge caravan started to act up 3 months ago by misfiring, idling low, engine vibrates, and having an excessive gas smell as well as blowing blue smoke. It first only started when it would rain and then it would resolve itself. 5 days ago it acted up...
When I am at idle my RPM's are about 700-750. However just recently I have noticed that the needle twitches ever so slightly when i'm stopped; it's barely noticeable, but it does. It twitches up about 20ish rpm's I guess, then goes back down. Is this a problem?
Also, I swear my RPM's at idle...
I recently had about $800 of work done to my 02 Monte Carlo. Now the change oil light comes on whenever I start the car up and goes off after a minute. While driving the oil pressure gauge will decrease when the brakes are applied and increase when the accelerator is applied. I been looking...
I picked up a 2002 Mazda Protege with 150k today. The car runs and drives fine but has a rough idle, feels like a misfire and a code p0300 comes up (random misfire). It acts rough only at idle but does fine under load. I replaced the plug, wires and ignition coils but the problem remained. I...
I was told if your alternator on a average car, spinning at 1000 rpm (idle) putting out roughly 20-30amps, so (30amps x 12vdc) = 360 watts, it will not work. I had thought that you can hook up an 2500-3000watt inverter to your cigaret output to power your house light etc. When reading info from...
Nearly 100 people sang and danced in a flash mob round dance at West Edmonton Mall on Wednesday afternoon, the latest action in the Idle No More movement. It's a short limo drive, maybe five minutes, from Parliament Hill to Victoria Island in the middle of the Ottawa River. Heck, you could walk...
I have a 96 Chevy k2500, so was at the store, going to the store, everything was fine, got out of the store, started the truck up fine, but i could tell right away the idle was rough. Felt like it was running on 6 cylinders, backed out and started to drive and could tell it wasn't running right...
Hi!
Where to start?
I've been having a lot of problems with my C8 since I put it in for it's MOT.
Firstly, they admitted that they broke different parts and had to order new ones and have had to wait ages to get my car back.
I went back the day I got my car back and told them that there was an...
voltage goes down? Where do I start to check the voltage levels? And my fan belt seems to want to squeek when I hit corners, and when I cold start it, until it warms up. Could this be one of the pulleys sticking?
I just got this 1970 Beetle about three weeks ago. It has a 1776cc motor in it, with about 2k on it. Within the last day or so, the engine would die every time I'd put it in neutral. the rpms would just drop and I'd have to start the car over and over again. I'm thinking it's something with the...
I have an on-board bluetooth hardware in my laptop which is made by Atheros. Unfortunately, if I use a Bluetooth Headset to connect to it, it stutters after being idle or if no sound is being directed or output-ed by it. Is there a solution for this? I'm quite annoyed as I have to keep...
my 73 lincoln continental just recently started sputtering like it's running out of gas, only noticeable when sitting at idle, when I'm on the pedal or crusing down the road it doesn't sputter, it almost didn't wanna fire up this morning either, I know it's not the plugs or wires(replaced them...
Hello,
I have an 88' Cressida and it usually runs very smooth and strong, but lately it's having a few problems.
1. It has a low idle and sometimes dies, if not given gas on idle.
2. Produces white smoke until ~800-1000 rpm, and goes away on acceleration.
3. It has been running a little rich...
...will jerk forward a bit? My friend just got a durango. 2001. and he was saying that after the engine warms up, he will be stopped and it will all of a sudden idle higher, or the RPM's will go up and jerk the car. I don't know what its about, Just trying to help him out. Maybe the torque...

My questions is about my 2000 Chrysler Concorde. When I go to start it, it keeps acting like it's gonna start and then kicks back off. Yesterday, it did this, and then I was finally able to get it started. Every time it started however, it would kick the RPMs up to stay on, and then the car...
