What should you expect when driving a Hybrid Car

When the vehicle is moving off from a stationary position, and when travelling at low to moderate speeds, the main electric motor/generator drives the vehicle. At these speeds the internal combustion engine operation is less efficient and is normally used only to charge the battery.

During normal driving, the combustion engine starts and drives the generator & the power divider. Power from the generator is used to drive the electric motor. The motor control unit controls the power divider so the drive remains at its most efficient.

When accelerating, as well as using power from the combustion engine, the control unit draws power from the battery and directs it to the electric motor/generator, providing more power to the wheels than the combustion engine could supply on its own.

During deceleration and braking the combustion engine is <  Read More >

battery went dead I jumped battery, now only the alarm comes on when turning the ignition

I have a 1997 Ford Explorer and the battery went dead. I jumped battery, now only the alarm comes on when turning the ignition. alarm goes off, but engine won't even turn.

Buy a new battery or charge the one you have. Remove old battery or disconnect the one you have. Turn ignition key to the "on" position and leave it there while you connect the new battery or charged battery. Start car.


With the key being on when you connect the battery the computer knows its OK to start.

ABS Light is on and I don't want to spend anymore money to fix it

I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 with the ABS Light on. The codes say both speed sensors are bad in the front. I replaced both spend sensors and the light is still. The shop wants more money to look at it and I don't want to put anymore money into it. Is there a way to just unplug the bulbs so that I don't have to see the light?


Answer:
Yes and No. This truck does not have bulbs, it is equipped with LED lights. But you can take the dash apart and remove the circuit board from the gauge cluster and clip one leg of the LED and it will no longer light up. I do not recommend clipping both legs in case you want to reconnect it later.

1994 Chevy S-10 Died while driving and won't start

I have a 1994 Chevy S-10 2.2L Engine. Drove fine to work and on the way home out of nowhere the engine died and won't start. I hit the key and it turns over but now it sounds different and will not start. It has spark and i tried starter fluid and still won't start. What could it be?

Answer:
The 2.2L engine has a common problem with failing timing chain tensioners that break and cause the timing chain to jump at at once. this throws off the valve timing and causes no compression. In most cases you can just install a new timing chain and tensioner and problem solved. In some cases not only does the chain and tensioner need to be replaced but the valves can sometimes get bent, usually the exhaust valves. So after you replace the timing chain and tensioner perform a compression test, if no compression is found, you can be sure the next step is removing the head to see how many valves need to be replaced. Don't forget to replace the head bolts at the same time as they are one time use only bolts.

dtc code p0171 vehicle idles very rough - IDLE FAST AFTER IT WARMS UP CODE PO171

Code PO171 : System too lean (bank 1)


Description : The adaptive fuel Strategy continuously monitors fuel delivery hardware. The test fails when the adaptive fuel tables reach a rich calibrated limit.

You may have a vacuum leak, stuck IAC Valve or dirty MAF. You may find that if you remove the internal Sensor from the MAF Case that some debree has collected on the thin wire. If you find debree, use a Q-Tip to clean it. DO NOT USE CHEMICALS TO CLEAN IT. If no debree is found, try a Known Good MAF Sensor. Still no fix, move on to testing for a vacuum leak. ( listen for a whistle noise or spray some starting fluid around the intake area while the engine is running). The IAC Valve (Idle air control) may be stuck , remove it and clean the carbon and reinstall if no vacuum leaks are found.

I have a I was driving it more home after tires noticed it running rough

Heres my problem recently did an alternator on my 03 MPV over 100k miles.


What a bear also replace ball joint. After I got it all back together I took it for new front tires. It had been sitting in my garage for a year before I got around to repairing it.

As I was driving it more home after tires noticed it running rough I filled up tank as it was low on gas. Also put fuel injection cleaner in full tank & some gas line anti freeze in case of moisture in tank while sitting.

As I was returning home it got louder & I barely made it up my hill no power.

When i pulled in driveway it was gettting darker I could see the flex pipe was red hot what was left of it also could see flames shooting out like raw gas.

No check engine light is on brought to shop to put on scanner & they got no codes either.

Answer:
 
Sound like you have a plugged exhaust you said flex pipe . Is cat converter still on it? DO a simple test loosen exhaust before cat if their. If not loosen at first flange after manifold. Just loosen dont remove. Loosen enough to have a gap between pipes the test drive

1996 Ford Crown Victoria - vehicle starts jumping like its hung in high gear

When I start to slow down,the vehicle starts jumping like its hung in high gear and I have to press the o/d off button on my gear shift to stop it. Also, while driving down the road, when I let up on the accelerator the transmission starts jumping.

Answer:
One of the solenoids or valves in the transmission's valve body is hanging up . Look at the fluid color ( wipe stick off on white paper) if it is brown instead of bright pink, you can try a filter and fluid service ( make sure to use Mercon V this is full synthetic fluid required in this vehicle) . If the fluid is pretty pink you can try putting an additive called " Shudder Fix " ( can be found at auto parts store ) this may be a good thing to try before tearing apart the transmission. You may want to check the VSS ( vehicle speed sensor to make sure it is sending the proper signals ) also before tearing it apart.Feel free to check out some of the other resources on the website as there may be some helpful information available.
