    2010 Honda Odyssey started running rough and engine light soon came on. Car sat over night but then engine light was off. Can't run proper codes without engine light on at AutoZone. Later, that day, started car again and engine light came back on and engine ran smooth so drove to AutoZone again got code for Catalytic Converter. Bought CataClean to place in gas tank (@ 202,100k miles). Please note the last time I put CataClean in was at 181,100k miles upon getting the same code back then. That 21k between the two. I think it's now best to adhere to a better schedule. CataClean recommends every 3 months at about $27 per bottle.

    My merc suddenly started shaking and engine sign started. I started car for 3 times and it’s gone. I think it’s coil because I changed spark plugs few months ago.

    One more cause is 1 or more spark plug got covered with engine oil leaking from the valve cover gasket, it happen to me, check engine start flashing indicating misfire but I didn't feel any misfire with the car, the car was running fine, even that I park the as soon as possible, and next day I found one spark plug got covered with engine oil. So I did replace the valve cover gasket and also spark plug and problem.fixed.

    i have codes P0420, p145C, P0497, P0301, af sensor "too lean"
    ive changed spark plugs, coil packs, mass air filter sensor, purge solenoid, gas cap, engine air filter, cabin air filter, removed an cleaned fuel injectors, and now about to swap out fuel tank pressure sensor.. if that doesnt work clean catalytic converter.. i'm running out of options maybe 02 sensor or egr valve? any ideas on what would cause blinking engine light and shaking to low acceleration? Honda crv 2010 ex-l 2.4L 4wd 4 cylinder. I know there is such thing as limp mode on these cars. need brakes changed an have low tire pressure symnbol. Was driving fine then went to accelerate heavily on highway and all went bad. towed home changed the parts now it starts an runs fine with rpms for first minute or less than does same engine light blinking and low acceleration. all those codes say permanent on obd2 scanner and cant clear them. any help or ideas?

    My gf’s Ford Edge runs really good. But whenever I went onto the highway I kinda got in it a little bit. The car kind of paused and then didn’t want to take off and then the check engine light started flashing. But after about 30 seconds it went back off completely

    Mazda Tribute 2009 It bounces when i put it in reverse at furst from park but it will still go in & drive in reverse...its a huge bounce, its like bounce bounce then i put it in drive & it takes off a lil slow but then drives fine. 2 mechanice eith over 35 yrs cant figure out what wrong! Ive driven it 4000+ miles like this. Sometimes rarely the engine light goes out & it doesnt do anything wrong. I wish i knew! Only 94,000 miles. Computer control module was replaced. They said not that. Ignition replaced said not that, said maybe electrical...

    My car has 3k miles, starts fine, when the engine is in idle is fine as well. But as soon as go from 1st to second gear it starts being jerky when moving, it happens in 3rd gear sometimes, and another issue is that my speedometer stops working the needle goes instantly to 0 mp/h as soon as I go to second gear. I dont drive it regularly like 2 or 3 times per week, and also I do short travels. Can that be a reason for it to be broken even if the car is brand new?

    • @carproblemsmax
      @carproblemsmax  Год назад +2

      There are several potential causes for the issues you are experiencing. The jerking or hesitating during gear changes could be due to a problem with the transmission, such as low transmission fluid or a faulty shift solenoid. It is also possible that there is an issue with the engine or fuel system that is causing the problem.
      Regarding the speedometer issue, it could be caused by a faulty speed sensor or wiring issue. However, it is less likely that the infrequent use of the car would cause these problems if it is a brand new car with only 3k miles.
      I recommended to take the car to a dealersh to have it diagnosed and repaired. Since the car is still under warranty, any repairs or parts replacement may be covered by the manufacturer.
      Also watch for Recalls and Service Bulletins related to your car model.

    I don’t get it, I’ve taken my car to two different garages and both charged me £90 for a diagnostics check and both times they were unsure of the issue and quoted me stupid prices for ideas. Literally ideas as they didn’t have a clue.
    I have a 2006 VW Passat Estate and the engine and coil light is on. The car shakes when I go above 30mph and the revs sounds quite high.
    I had the EGR and Throttle body cleaned and and the garage which made zero different. I don’t know what to do I can’t keep going to garages and paying them to tell me they don’t know what the issue is 🤦‍♂️

    • @carproblemsmax
      @carproblemsmax  Год назад +4

      Based on the symptoms you've described, it sounds like there could be a problem with the engine's ignition system, specifically with the ignition coils. The shaking and high revs could be due to misfiring, which can be caused by faulty ignition coils.
      Even though you've had the EGR and Throttle body cleaned, it's still possible that there could be an issue with those components as well. Additionally, there could be other underlying issues such as a vacuum leak or fuel delivery problem that could be causing the symptoms you're experiencing.
      It's recommended that you take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic who has experience working on Volkswagen vehicles. They can perform a diagnostic scan to determine the exact cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs.

      @theredscourge 9 месяцев назад +1

      The only way 5 failed at once is if there was an electrical issue that fried em suddenly, beyond that I would think it is some sort of sensor causing them to get the wrong signal and thus fire at the wrong time.
      Or if it's an older vehicle and it has a distributor system, it could be that someone took the distributor wires off and put them back on the wrong spots.

      Did you ever find out the issue? I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. I went and put gas in my tank, and then as soon as I started my car back up the check engine light started flashing, my VSC trac off light flashing too and it has a terribly rough idle. The needle on the tachometer is also acting strange. I’m not sure what is wrong with it, I have an appointment in a couple of days
