| TPMS light on the dash | 13Relevance | 3 years ago | supercrewbear | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... years ago too with no issue. The TPMS system was working just fine before the newest sensors, but I only get a steady yellow TPMS light on the dash now. I brought my own tires and sensors to the tire shop, so I can't get much help out of those guys since I didn't buy it all from them. The sensors I bought from Rock Auto was the Schrader 29100. The Schrader web page shows that to be the exact sensor for my car - preprogrammed. The new sensors will read back to the tire shop scan tool. The relearn/re-register procedure for my car (in the owner's manual) is ... | |||||

| ... can give me some advice on what to do. I apologize for the length. 3 years ago I purchased a 1995 Lexus Sc300 with the 2JZGE engine and automatic trans. The person that I bought the car from was in his early 20s and admitted he was in over his head. At the time I was working 12+ hour days following hurricanes that destroyed a good portion of our state. My job at the time sent company vehicles to a local garage (Chevy and Ford authorized repair centers were closed due to hurricane and the next closest were 2 hours away in Houston) for maintenance work and d ... | |||||
| Why isn't my car starting? | 12Relevance | 3 years ago | Awesumbloxgamin | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, I'm working on my dad's 2003 Toyota Matrix XR that has been sitting outside for about 4 years. The mileage is around 280,000 and it's an automatic. Before it was parked it had a blinking check engine light but I never ran the code. The battery was bought and installed 6 months ago and the car has since drained it. I attached a video of the car trying to start and it definitely does not seem like the battery. I also followed the video you posted "How to Start a car that's Been sitting for Years (Wont Start)" Video of the car trying to start: ... | |||||
| Answer to: Should I buy this car?.. | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | Jacksonishere | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The problem with a car that old with very low mileage is that it's very likely been sitting for a long time without being driven which is not good for cars. My 07 went a little while without being driven before I bought it and it has 115k miles on it now just to give you some perspective. If the person selling can PROVE that the car wasn't just sitting for years and if it runs and drives good might be a good buy. Either way Scotty always recommends you have a mechanic you trust check the car before purchase. | |||||

| Need a *very* durable car battery - my car alarm drains the @#$$ out of my battery | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | InCars | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, I have a 2006 Lexus RX 400h SUV. I have an aftermarket car alarm that drains the @#$$ out of my battery. I've needed to replace the battery 3 times since the alarm was installed. Whenever I leave my car sitting for a few weeks, the battery will be completely shot. I think it's partially a problem with the shock sensor setting off the alarm, or just the alarm system sitting there using juice for its circuitry and relays. I'm tempted to buy a $1500 Braille lithium battery. Haha. But that's overkill, obviously. If my car uses a lot of extra juice w ... | |||||

| 2017 Camry LE. Tried to start car after sitting in garage all night. It tries to crank, but seems like not getting gas and will not start. Tried several times and no good. Let car sit for 10 minutes and closed the door, depressed the brake and it started right up and runs fine, normal. This happened once before about 5 months ago, same exact scenario. This time took to mechanic and his portable diagnostic machine gave this code…P1604 Startability Malfunction. Going back to him today to put on better computer in his shop that hopefully gives the solution. The ... | |||||

| Answer to: A car sitting in a lawn for 3 years. | 11Relevance | 2 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have the same year 9000, though U.S. specification "CSE" model with 2.3L turbocharged engine and automatic transmission - over 370,000 miles. It has body rust but just cosmetic. If your car just had a hole in the floor, that could be repaired. However if the car has structural rust to the point where it can't even be put on a lift just forget it. In that case the car would just be good for whatever parts can be salvaged from it. | |||||
| How long is too long for a car to be sitting around? | 11Relevance | 5 years ago | aedanhickey | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, I have been looking at buying a car. My budget is in the 6k area and I am seeing a lot of 85-05 cars from the elderly with 35-50k miles. For example, I saw a 2001 Crown VIC LX with 36k miles in it. Now that car is 20 years old with that low of miles so it must have sat for a while. How long does a car have to sit for it to be damaged? Thank you | |||||

| 2016 Subaru Legacy sitting for three years, steps for getting it running again? Hello, I have a 2016 Subaru Legacy with 74K miles. It has been parked since March 2020 (open to the elements). I have been taking care of my elderly mother out of state for three years and this is my first chance to return home to get my car running. So far I have only changed the battery. The car started no problem, which was a good feeling. The car has sat through some winters so the engine has rust in some areas, as do the brake pads. The car has 3/8 tank of gas. As I un ... | |||||

| ... over and shut the key off. No warning, no stuttering...just shut off. I coasted to the side of the road. I was afraid that the catalytic converter would catch the grass on fire, so I tried to restart the car. It started right up, and I drove off. The car ran perfectly after that. The next time it stalled I didn't even pull over. I just put the car in neutral, waited for all of the dash lights to come on, restarted the car, put it back in drive and continued on my merry way. The car would be fine for weeks, even months, then suddenly it would stall. At t ... | |||||
