| Toyota Corolla Le Slightly higher rpms | 11Relevance | 11 months ago | Zibbo34 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... out im not talking huge hills either. Also since this issue with the elevated rpms has started I've also had the car jerk forward on 4 separate occasions, all while coming from a stop to a start and the other day while sitting at a stop sign. I've tested the Mass Airflow Sensor and its in spec, while idling and at thruway speed, also cleaned MAF sensor and throttle plate. Spark plugs look good and are all operating at same speed. I've taken the car to Continental transmission and they told me transmission was in good shape. The only other thing I think ... | |||||

| This sounds like a fuel pressure problem. I read through somebody with a 1994 Lincoln Continental having a possible fuel delivery issue, you can read the thread here: I also Googled what the fuel pressure should be at idle, Google's AI says between 35 PSI and 45 PSI. Cross-referencing the forum seems to confirm this. The simplest thing is to check the fuel pressure with a gauge you can rent at AutoZone. | |||||
| Answer to: P0340, No start | 11Relevance | 1 year ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| A dead crank position sensor would not affect engine cranking, but it would be a crank with no start. As already mentioned there is troubleshooting information for no crank and no start in the site FAQ as these are very common problems. I would probably start by load-testing the battery to confirm its condition and then hot-wiring the starter to see if it is working. If either of those are faulty nothing else is going to work. Beyond that you would need to grab a wiring diagram and do some basic electrical troubleshooting to find the fault. (Without a wiring diagram you are working in the dark.) That car is so old it could be almost anything, but guessing and throwing parts at the problem is very unlikely to lead to a satisfactory result. You can find a repair manual for your car here which may help: | |||||
| Mark V Shift Issue | 11Relevance | 1 year ago | Outbacker1 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I own a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V. Bought it over the summer and it was amazing, no issues. Stored it for the winter. And now have been bringing it out again. Going from 1st to 2nd is acting up. It revs really high for maybe 20 30 seconds and then finally gets there. Reverse also is a nightmare as it takes a good sec to actually get moving. It doesn’t die on me, it’s just really slow. what can be the cause? My guess is a rear main seal leak, I got some leakage coming from the trans | |||||

| Alternator not alternating | 11Relevance | 2 years ago | AllWheelDrive&SteeringChariots | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello Scotty and everyone, I have an 08 Lexus GS350 and I made a video of my alternator making klinkity, klankity, klonkity sounds: I purchased an OEM alternator, was that the right move vs repairing it? Should I replace the serpentine belt(it uses a timing chain)as well and if so, should I purchase third party like Gates and Continental or stick to OEM? Best regards, Mike B. | |||||

| 1992 Lincoln Town Car Air Spring Suspension | 11Relevance | 1 year ago | Varwulf | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Greetings. I just picked up a 92 Lincoln Town Car in remarkably good shape for the year, though it does have some issues I wish to resolve on my own. It has roughly 140K miles on the clock (33K displayed and no longer working, 5 digit readout). I used to own an 89 Continental in high school and a 90 Mark VII in college, and both of these vehicles had their air ride suspension removed before I had purchased them. Everyone always told me they aren't worth the trouble because they are "thousands of dollars" to repair when something goes wrong. I've priced the a ... | |||||

| I hope your intent is that this will be a weekend toy rather than a daily driver. It's way too old to use on a regular basis unless you plan to spend a lot of time wrenching on it yourself. (Most mechanics will not touch a car that old.) You need to have a good mechanic check the car out before purchase, but you may find it difficult to find one that can deal with a 45-year-old Lincoln. | |||||

| Search the board, you'll find a lot of opinions on tires. I generally go by the following: Good: WalMart "Douglas" brand (made by Goodyear, decent budget tire) Better: General Altimax (General is owned by Continental) Best: Michelin There are lots of other choices out there of course but those are my own go-to brands. Really you should be OK as long as you avoid bottom-of-the-barrel Chinese tires. | |||||
| Answer to: Alternator not alternating | 11Relevance | 2 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Generally, you can't really repair alternators yourself. There's a voltage regulator that is practically always internal to the alternator itself these days. My' 79 Pontiac has an internal voltage regulator, and it's 45 years old. The serpentine belt has no bearing as to whether or not the timing is chain or belt driven -they're completely separate mechanisms. If your serpentine belt breaks, the engine will still run normally, but it will start overheating because coolant isn't being pumped through the engine anymore. A worn belt will be cracked on the underside. If it's cracked, replace it. I use OEM belts on my Ranger, because I know it's going to fit properly. | |||||
