This is a good opportunity to suggest additional service that is due at the same mileage. At a minimum, any accessory drive belts should be replaced, and it's also a good idea to suggest water pump replacement at the same time. Even if the pump looks good now, there's a good chance it won't last another 90,000 miles. http://local.import-car.com/Kia_Timing_Belt_Replacement_Chicago_IL-r1351232-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Kia_Timing_Belt_Replacement_Chicago_IL-r1351232-Chicago_IL.html Finding a used, red 780 Volvo with a black interior was tough since only six were made for the U.S. (Many 780s had a two-tone tan interior, which I didn't like.) I finally came across a mint 780 with only 90,000 miles, a turbocharged B230 engine, and a very clean body and interior. The powerplant of choice was a 1998 Corvette LS1 5.7L, SFI, OBD II, all-aluminum engine. http://local.import-car.com/Rev_up_Volvo_Performance_Chicago_IL-r1351231-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Rev_up_Volvo_Performance_Chicago_IL-r1351231-Chicago_IL.html Honda has used timing belts since it started selling four-cylinder cars in the U.S., only recently having gone to a chain drive. With the longevity these cars enjoy, it's safe to say we'll continue to replace these belts for many years to come. In this article, we'll take a look at replacing a belt on a four-cylinder Accord, pointing out some details that may make the next job go easier for you. http://local.import-car.com/Honda_Timing_Belt_Replacement_Chicago_IL-r1351228-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Honda_Timing_Belt_Replacement_Chicago_IL-r1351228-Chicago_IL.html Power brakes are great when they work correctly, but what happens when they don't? Suddenly it takes a lot more effort to bring the vehicle to a halt. This may increase the distance it takes to stop the vehicle and create a potentially dangerous situation. So if a vehicle is suffering from increased pedal effort, the first thing you should check is the power brake system. http://local.import-car.com/Brake_Booster_Service_Fundamentals_Chicago_IL-r1351227-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Brake_Booster_Service_Fundamentals_Chicago_IL-r1351227-Chicago_IL.html With performance work, it's a different scenario. First of all, your customers may come to you and ask for your opinion about a particular upgrade. They've heard about a new aftermarket cylinder head for their Honda and wonder how much you would charge to install it. Or maybe they want a bigger turbocharger on their engine, or a nitrous oxide system, or both, and want to know if their engine can handle it. http://local.import-car.com/Power_Your_Profits_with_Performance_Mods_Chicago_IL-r1351226-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Power_Your_Profits_with_Performance_Mods_Chicago_IL-r1351226-Chicago_IL.html Some owners of 2002-’05 Sedonas may complain of MIL Illumination related to the transaxle range switch being out of adjustment. Adjustment procedure includes: The alignment holes between the transaxle range switch and the lever should be aligned. Insert a 5 mm drill bit into the adjustment hole to verify proper alignment for the neutral position, and more. http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Kia_Sedona_Transaxle_Range_Switch_out_of_Adjustment_Chicago_IL-r1351225-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Kia_Sedona_Transaxle_Range_Switch_out_of_Adjustment_Chicago_IL-r1351225-Chicago_IL.html Seat belts, steering systems, occupant sensors, on-board diagnostics and air bag components and systems, as well as proper alignment of structurally related components, are only a few of the critical considerations confronting you. Manufacturers often update procedures that point to on-board safety systems, so you need a way to reference them in order to prepare an accurate, safe and effective repair plan. http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Front_Passenger_Seat_Accessory_Precautions_Chicago_IL-r1351224-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Front_Passenger_Seat_Accessory_Precautions_Chicago_IL-r1351224-Chicago_IL.html The MIL comes on with one or more of these evaporative DTCs stored: P0451 (FTP sensor circuit range/performance problem); P0452 (FTP sensor circuit low voltage); P0453 (FTP sensor circuit high voltage); P1454 (FTP sensor circuit range/performance problem). The FTP (fuel tank pressure) sensor has an internal malfunction. Replace the fuel tank pressure sensor.

Test procedure includes: Connect one end of the bypass wire to the battery’s negative post, then connect the other end to the negative battery cable end. Simply wrapping then twisting the stripped back ends of the bypass wire around the post and terminal will be sufficient. Reinstall the negative cable on the battery post, and more. http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Subaru_Parasitic_Battery_Draw_Chicago_IL-r1351222-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Subaru_Parasitic_Battery_Draw_Chicago_IL-r1351222-Chicago_IL.html In this article, I'll revisit some of the more common failures that we continue to see and how we resolved them, saving you time and cost for your customer. As always, throwing parts at a problem is not the best tool for OBD repairs. Knowing how a component is designed to work is always the first step in locating a failure. Read on for more. http://local.import-car.com/VW_OBD_II_Revisited_Good_Vehicle_Service_History_Helps_Determine_Causes_of_Repeat_Failures_Chicago_IL-r1351221-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/VW_OBD_II_Revisited_Good_Vehicle_Service_History_Helps_Determine_Causes_of_Repeat_Failures_Chicago_IL-r1351221-Chicago_IL.html On late-model imports, it’s usually much quicker to test the fuel pump with a scan tool that has the applicable bi-directional controls and data stream displays. If those features are available, a technician can quickly evaluate the fuel pump’s electrical performance by using the scan tool to activate the fuel pump. Read for more. http://local.import-car.com/Diagnosing_Repeat_Fuel_Pump_Failures_Chicago_IL-r1351220-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Diagnosing_Repeat_Fuel_Pump_Failures_Chicago_IL-r1351220-Chicago_IL.html The aftermarket has a proven history of turning challenges into opportunities, especially as it relates to tackling new technology and finding creative ways to add value to the products and services they deliver to the marketplace. http://local.import-car.com/Turn_Challenges_Into_Opportunities_Your_Track_Record_is_a_Good_Success_Indicator_Chicago_IL-r1351219-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Turn_Challenges_Into_Opportunities_Your_Track_Record_is_a_Good_Success_Indicator_Chicago_IL-r1351219-Chicago_IL.html Additional proof of both the reliability and potential of these engines is the popularity they enjoy in the sport compact market. I think it's safe to say that the popular B Series twin-cam Honda engine is the current-day small- block Chevy, enjoying great popularity among both tuners and vehicle owners in general. http://local.import-car.com/Engine_Maintenance_Head_Gasket_Failure_Symptoms_and_Diagnosis_Chicago_IL-r1351218-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Engine_Maintenance_Head_Gasket_Failure_Symptoms_and_Diagnosis_Chicago_IL-r1351218-Chicago_IL.html Though many of these parts are sold to people who can install the parts themselves (things like wings, spoilers, lights, big bore mufflers, etc.), some parts require a much higher level of expertise to install, as well as special tools and equipment that the typical DIYer doesn't have. http://local.import-car.com/Performance_Upgrades_Tuning_Tweaking_Boosting_Your_Way_to_New_Profits_Chicago_IL-r1351217-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Performance_Upgrades_Tuning_Tweaking_Boosting_Your_Way_to_New_Profits_Chicago_IL-r1351217-Chicago_IL.html A Honda Civic owner may complain that the starter motor intermittently grinds while cranking the ­engine. The cause may be that the female terminal at the starter solenoid may have spread apart, causing a loss of current to the solenoid. To correct the condition, replace the female terminal at the starter solenoid. http://local.import-car.com/_Tech_Tip_Cranky_Honda_Civic_Starter_is_a_Grind_Chicago_IL-r1351215-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/_Tech_Tip_Cranky_Honda_Civic_Starter_is_a_Grind_Chicago_IL-r1351215-Chicago_IL.html In this article, we're going to look at one of the more basic mechanical jobs left on a late-model vehicle - that being clutch replacement. We'll focus on Mazdas, particularly the popular FWD Protégé sedan. We'll review the important steps that must be performed to diagnose and sell the job, to achieve a successful, profitable service for you and a positive repair experience for your customer. http://local.import-car.com/Mazda_Clutch_Replacement_and_Installation_Tips_Chicago_IL-r1351212-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Mazda_Clutch_Replacement_and_Installation_Tips_Chicago_IL-r1351212-Chicago_IL.html The SUPER-X Emergency Tire Inflator (#660) seals and inflates damaged tires and is designed to be used with any passenger car, truck trailer or almost any pneumatic type tire. http://local.import-car.com/SUPER_X_from_Penray_Has_Super_Tire_Inflator_Chicago_IL-r1351211-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/SUPER_X_from_Penray_Has_Super_Tire_Inflator_Chicago_IL-r1351211-Chicago_IL.html Although brake systems wear at a relatively glacial rate, a point will be reached when they can no longer stop the vehicle in an emergency situation and brake system inspections are therefore required to prevent accidents caused by brake component failure. Inspection procedures vary from area to area. Mountainous or metro-area driving conditions, for example, obviously demand more brake performance than do plains-area conditions. http://local.import-car.com/Diagnostic_Solutions_Brake_Maintenance_Inspection_Chicago_IL-r1351210-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Diagnostic_Solutions_Brake_Maintenance_Inspection_Chicago_IL-r1351210-Chicago_IL.html Fine-tuning carburetors and distributor ignitions to compensate for often discordant barometric and ambient temperature changes is the art and profession of the master engine tuner. http://local.import-car.com/You_Can_Tune_a_Carburetor_but_You_Cant_Tuna_Fish_Chicago_IL-r1351209-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/You_Can_Tune_a_Carburetor_but_You_Cant_Tuna_Fish_Chicago_IL-r1351209-Chicago_IL.html If you encounter a vehicle that experiences coolant coming out of the coolant reservoir tank, it may be caused by the radiator cap pressure valve being stuck open by debris sucked up through the reservoir tank hose. As the cooling system cools down, it sucks coolant back into the radiator. http://local.import-car.com/Subaru_Coolant_Comes_out_of_Reservoir_Chicago_IL-r1351206-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Subaru_Coolant_Comes_out_of_Reservoir_Chicago_IL-r1351206-Chicago_IL.html A study commissioned by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA), Vehicle Maintenance & The Female Motorist,∗ analyzes the attitudes and perceptions that drive women's behavior regarding vehicle maintenance and repair. http://local.import-car.com/Dont_Underestimate_Your_Most_Proactive_Customers_Chicago_IL-r1351205-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Dont_Underestimate_Your_Most_Proactive_Customers_Chicago_IL-r1351205-Chicago_IL.html It not only helps your bottom line, but also lets the customer know you're willing and able to take care of all the recommended maintenance their Hyundai requires, and that the safe operation of their vehicle is a primary concern. http://local.import-car.com/Hyundai_From_Ball_Joints_to_Brakes_Chicago_IL-r1351204-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Hyundai_From_Ball_Joints_to_Brakes_Chicago_IL-r1351204-Chicago_IL.html With the goal of providing you with input on ways shop owners can reduce the amount of product that is returned to suppliers, Babcox Research asked a sample of shop owner readers for their ideas on this topic. We received dozens of great responses, some of which are listed below, so thank you to those of you who responded. http://local.import-car.com/10_Ways_to_Reduce_Product_Returns_Chicago_IL-r1351203-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/10_Ways_to_Reduce_Product_Returns_Chicago_IL-r1351203-Chicago_IL.html If you detect an oil leak from the front, middle or rear of the engine on one of the models listed below, it’s probable that the cast aluminum engine block may be porous in spots. To correct the problem, seal the leak with J-B Weld or 3-Bond-coated sealing bolts, depending on the location of the leak. http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Leaky_Honda_Seal_the_Deal_and_Drive_Chicago_IL-r1351202-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Leaky_Honda_Seal_the_Deal_and_Drive_Chicago_IL-r1351202-Chicago_IL.html A disc brake caliper has four basic parts: the caliper housing, caliper piston, piston O-ring and piston dust boot. Although the relatively inexpensive single-piston, floating caliper designs are used in most applications, some high-end or high-performance vehicle applications might use a multiple-piston, fixed-caliper design to allow the use of larger rotors and longer pads for better high-speed braking. http://local.import-car.com/Diagnostic_Solutions_Disc_Brake_Caliper_Inspection_and_Installation_Procedures_Chicago_IL-r1351201-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Diagnostic_Solutions_Disc_Brake_Caliper_Inspection_and_Installation_Procedures_Chicago_IL-r1351201-Chicago_IL.html Common causes of intermittent stalling may include a bad idle speed control (ISC) system, low fuel pressure, loss of ignition, vacuum or EGR leaks, or other problems we’ll get to later in this article. The engine’s idle speed is controlled by how much air is allowed to bypass the throttle via the idle bypass circuit in the throttle body. The PCM monitors idle speed and operates a solenoid or small electric motor to move a valve that regulates airflow through the air bypass circuit. http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Feature_Diagnosing_Intermittent_Driveability_Issues_Chicago_IL-r1351199-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Feature_Diagnosing_Intermittent_Driveability_Issues_Chicago_IL-r1351199-Chicago_IL.html Early in the 20th century, auto manufacturers realized that the only way to control sludge was to remove water from the crankcase oil. Because oil temperatures remain low during short-trip and low-speed driving, water condensation accumulates in the engine oil. Pioneer engine designers began to realize that the only way to remove water from the crankcase oil was to raise engine-operating temperatures close to the boiling point of water. http://local.import-car.com/Thermostat_Technology_Chicago_IL-r1351198-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Thermostat_Technology_Chicago_IL-r1351198-Chicago_IL.html Intermittent electrical faults are the bane of the auto repair business. If an electrical component has failed, or there is an open or a short in a circuit, you can usually find it fairly quickly because it isn't hiding from you. It's a persistent fault that can be isolated by a systematic process of elimination. Not so with intermittents. Chasing intermittents is like chasing ghosts. One approach that's often used is to wait it out. http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Feature_Solving_Intermittent_Electrical_Problems_Chicago_IL-r1351197-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Feature_Solving_Intermittent_Electrical_Problems_Chicago_IL-r1351197-Chicago_IL.html More often than not, many rotors today are being replaced when the brakes are relined - and some motorists are complaining that new rotors really aren't necessary. Resurfacing can usually restore the friction surface on worn rotors to like-new condition, unless a rotor is worn down too far to be safely resurfaced or has cracks, deep grooves, severe rusting, hard spots or other structural defects. So why are so many rotors being replaced? Read for more. http://local.import-car.com/Rotor_Debate_Resurface_or_Replace_Chicago_IL-r1351195-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Rotor_Debate_Resurface_or_Replace_Chicago_IL-r1351195-Chicago_IL.html No one disputes the benefits of TPMS, but a hodgepodge of different technologies from various supplies means there is no common diagnostic, service or relearn procedures for these systems. The only thing they have in common is that they illuminate some type of warning light if tire pressure drops 25% or more below the recommended inflation pressure. So if a tire is supposed to carry 32 psi, the low-pressure tire warning light should come on if tire pressure drops to 24 psi or less. http://local.import-car.com/Tire_Pressure_Monitoring_Systems_The_Ins_and_Outs_of_Indirect_and_Direct_TPMS_Chicago_IL-r1351194-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Tire_Pressure_Monitoring_Systems_The_Ins_and_Outs_of_Indirect_and_Direct_TPMS_Chicago_IL-r1351194-Chicago_IL.html Engine coolant is flammable at certain temperatures. If coolant is spilled during the service procedure, all residual coolant must be removed from all surfaces before releasing the vehicle back to the customer. Make sure that the engine has cooled down to outside temperature before starting the repair to avoid being burned by hot coolant. http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Sorento_Coolant_Reservoir_Replacement_Chicago_IL-r1351192-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Tech_Tip_Sorento_Coolant_Reservoir_Replacement_Chicago_IL-r1351192-Chicago_IL.html The first shock absorbers were simply pieces of leather or asbestos sandwiched between spring-loaded plates, with the friction body mounted to the chassis and a movable arm attached to the axle. As the suspension moved up and down in relation to the chassis, the friction shock dampened the resulting spring oscillations by converting excessive spring oscillations into heat. http://local.import-car.com/Ride_Control_Repairs_Chicago_IL-r1351191-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Ride_Control_Repairs_Chicago_IL-r1351191-Chicago_IL.html Veteran technicians know that the clutch is the heart of manual transmission performance. From a standing start, the friction generated by the clutch disc rubbing against the pressure plate and flywheel must overcome the inertia of the vehicle to get it rolling. The clutch must also engage smoothly without excessive chatter or slippage. To allow the driver to shift gears, the clutch must then be able to disengage the engine smoothly from the transmission. http://local.import-car.com/Manual_TrannyClutches_Pre_Installation_Inspections_Chicago_IL-r1351190-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Manual_TrannyClutches_Pre_Installation_Inspections_Chicago_IL-r1351190-Chicago_IL.html Coolant suppliers who say this is so much nonsense have developed their own proprietary OAT-based products, which they say can be safely used in all makes and all models. The Better Business Bureau challenged one coolant supplier on this claim, insisting there can be no such thing because the vehicle manufacturers all have different and sometimes conflicting coolant specifications. http://local.import-car.com/Cooling_System_Antifreeze_Requirements_Chicago_IL-r1351189-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Cooling_System_Antifreeze_Requirements_Chicago_IL-r1351189-Chicago_IL.html When the A/C stops blowing cold air, most people can only tolerate the loss of cooling as long as the thermometer remains below 80 to 85 degrees and the humidity isn't too bad. Beyond that, a trip in heavy stop-and-go traffic can be a near-death experience. As temperature and humidity go up, so does the level of discomfort. Eventually, the desire to remain perspiration-free will overcome a person's desire to postpone repairs, and you'll soon see their vehicle for service. http://local.import-car.com/Compressors_Condensers_Refrigerant_Chicago_IL-r1351188-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Compressors_Condensers_Refrigerant_Chicago_IL-r1351188-Chicago_IL.html Most modern liquid-cooled engines use a belt-driven water pump to circulate coolant through the lower cylinder area into the cylinder head, and from the cylinder head into the radiator. A few "reverse flow" engines are on the market in which coolant flows directly from the radiator to the cylinder head, which reduces cylinder head temperatures and better controls the rate of combustion in the cylinder head. http://local.import-car.com/Diagnostic_Solutions_Cooling_Fan_Failure_Diagnosis_Chicago_IL-r1351185-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Diagnostic_Solutions_Cooling_Fan_Failure_Diagnosis_Chicago_IL-r1351185-Chicago_IL.html Robinair, an SPX Brand, has rolled out its new 34988 Premium R-134a Recover, Recycle, and Recharge (RRR) A/C Machine. Part of the award-winning Robinair line of product family, the 34988 model incorporates all of the great benefits and convenient operational features that the Robinair 34788 and 34288 introduced to the industry — and now provides a new level of accuracy by giving the user the ability to inject dye; flush a vehicle's A/C system with liquid refrigerant. http://local.import-car.com/Robinair_34988_Premium_AC_RRR_Machine_Chicago_IL-r1351184-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Robinair_34988_Premium_AC_RRR_Machine_Chicago_IL-r1351184-Chicago_IL.html In some cases, pump replacement is necessary after years of running low on fluid and noise complaints. The replacement procedure is typical, as stated in the repair manuals: Loosen the drive belt, remove any hose and mounting bolts as needed, and reverse to reinstall. This is one repair where the instructions are pretty accurate. The one item I would add is to use a flush machine, vacuum bleeder or other method. http://local.import-car.com/Subaru_Steering_Axle_Service_Chicago_IL-r1351182-Chicago_IL.html http://local.import-car.com/Subaru_Steering_Axle_Service_Chicago_IL-r1351182-Chicago_IL.html Before we begin to understand the need for so many different engine oils, it's necessary to understand the lubrication requirements of modern engine design for the right oil change. Engine performance is closely related to proper oil lubrication and scheduled preventative maintenance service.
