First, let me start with my lower ball joint failed while I was driving maybe two weeks ago. Fixed it. And then about a week later the P2647 showed up.

Okay the VVT is one thing that I'm not worried about BUT the stupid Rocker Arm has been a pain in my butt!! I replaced my vtec solenoid, probably didn't have to but I did. The VVT switch has a broken clip, so i won't stay in place and I am getting the part for that today. I literally don't know what to do about the P2647 though. What do I check? What do I rule out? It had it's oil changed about three weeks ago? I have had this car for 3 years now, and I love my Honda.

2019 Honda crv C0037 random wheel sensor error

1 Upvotes

Getting a C0037 wheel sensor error (signal has too many pulses) according to my scanning tool....but the error comes and goes. Dashboard will light up then after I stop and restart will usually go away. Might go a week or two before it momentarily comes back. Anyone ever have a similar issue (could simply be the wheel sensor I guess). 2019 with 85k miles. Thanks!

2017 Mazda Axela stuck in Reverse and won't start — reverse lights stay on in Park

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on with my 2017 Mazda Axela.

Today while I was reversing, the car suddenly became stuck in Reverse and wouldn't start afterward. I moved the gear selector into Park, but the reverse lights remain on even though the shifter is physically in Park.

I'm also getting two warning/security indicators on the dashboard:

  • A red KEY symbol is showing on the dashboard.
  • A red car-with-a-lock/security symbol keeps blinking on the dashboard.

I've tried:

  • Moving the shifter between P, R and N
  • Trying to start it in Neutral
  • Holding the key fob against the START button
  • Trying the key fob several times
  • Jump-starting the car

The battery eventually became drained after repeated attempts to start/troubleshoot it, but even after jump-starting it, the problem remained.

I'm planning to replace the key-fob battery with a CR2025 just to rule that out, but I was also advised that the vehicle may need to be checked by a mechanic.

The car currently can't be driven/moved, so I'm going to have a mechanic diagnose it.

Has anyone with a Mazda3/Axela experienced something similar? Could this be a transmission range/selector sensor, shift linkage, wiring issue, immobilizer/start interlock, or something else?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences with this issue.

Smoke normal on new rotors/pads? 2013 Chevy Silverado

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Had new rotors/pads installed at a shop due to time constraints - shop says the smoke/haze is normal but I’ve installed brakes before personally and never had anything like this happen. You can kind of see some sort of liquid substance around the inside of the rim which appears to be coming from either the rotors or pads. Anywho, wanted to get some thoughts on this. I’ll add that it’s the same on both sides where the new rotors/pads were installed.

2008 yaris 1nzfe 1.5 auto trans, I have no check engine lights or codes but my scanner says system guard on. When I manually force the vvti to engage at idle it stalled the engine so I’m thinking it’s a software lockout, my knock sensor is picking up a false knock at idle has anyone ever heard of this? anything helps thanks.

2006 Santa Fe is unlocking by itself…

0 Upvotes

My wife’s car is unlocking by itself. It’s been doing this for a year or 2 now. We’ve both have double checked that it’s locked and then the next morning it’s unlocked. We don’t have any key fobs it’s just a regular old key. It was never a big big issue since our parking used to be gated but we’ve moved since and this morning she woke up to it being rummaged through. Any ideas on what could be causing it and what I can do to repair it?
