      First support the engine by placing a jack with a wide piece of wood under the sump. Don't jack directly on the sump , you must have the wood to increase the surface area . Jack it until the wood touches the sump. Then loosen the mounting bolts .

I took off idling sensor and cleaned it and the O2 sensor did not touch the map sensor, was a bit to tight did not want to damage. However it still idles rough and at 500 revs, what am I missing, please help

    • @solveitautomotive9485
      @solveitautomotive9485 Месяц назад

      Hi there. Generally you should be fine. There are many explanations for the four colours. It has to do with the ingredients and composition. Generally the green and red is common use and the pink and blue are for newer year model vehicles. This explanation is very basic but it's the easiest way to look at it. You can google further information. I prefer the evron premixed for my vehicle as it is balanced and safe and has a good price point. There are more expensive types but I think it is overkill. Just don't use water only. Coolant should be like all other moving parts be changed out every year. This is what I prefer for my vehicle and may not be preferable to someone else.
