How to bypass heater core ?


If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.



If your taking your car to mechanic to get repaired,then yes you can bypass heater core till you reach the mechanic.Basically its not advisable to by pass heater core.
You will not have any heat at all ! so do this. remove the hoses. on firewall side to heater core. go to any auto parts store and buy a coolant flush kit, then use the right size tube to hook hoses back together and clamp them. recheck coolant and that should be it.

How to Compress the Brake Calipers?


If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.

Calipers not compressing,problem is faced by many.You will need to use pliers.
Stick the needle nose pliers down into the end of the piston, and hook it on the two notches on either side of the piston.


  • Twist the pliers clockwise, causing the piston to screw into the housing. Stop twisting when about 1/8 inch of the piston is still sticking out of the caliper housing. you can also buy a tool that fits a 3/8 drive rachet to do this also. go to any auto parts store and tell them your brakes turn in, they should be able to help.



  • This details will help.Thanks.

    1997 Chevrolet Cavalier will not start and keep blowing the cls/pcm fuse?


    If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.


    This is rare problem,but noticed by few Chevy users.The car will not start and has no spark,when the clutch is pushed the CLS /PCM fuse blows out.


    That fuse that kept blowing is a direct wire to the PCM. Below is a picture of one of the connectors at the PCM. I have marked the pin number that you need to check. Make sure you're getting power at that pin number (it's a pink wire). Also below is a picture of a main ground for the circuit that the fuse was blowing. Also is a picture of the connector that that ground wire goes through. It's a black and white wire. Also I see you said you got a new computer. Did you have it or was it flashed for your vehicle ?






    Sounds like pcm or wiring has a short causing fuse to blow. Maybe try another pcm.
    You could also remove the alternator and have it bench tested at autozone or advance auto parts or your local auto parts store. This will tell you if the alternator is blown.This details will help.
    Thanks.

    Car Vibrates in both drive or neutral?


    If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.

    This vibration problem is noticed by many car users.
    Get a friend to open the hood and look at the engine go up or down in the engine compartment when the brakes are firmly applied and switching between reverse and drive. Look for the motor mounts for behavior where tears exist in the rubber.Hard (from age and heat) or broken engine and transmission mounts will cause this type of vibration. Based on many repair experiences with this type of vibration on mostly 4 cylinders I would replace all the mounts, both the engine and transmission, leave the bolts loose that retain the engine in the mounts, then with the motor mounts and transmission mount still loose run the engine and shift back and forth from drive to reverse and then back to neutral, this relieves any stress from misaligned engine mounts and reduces vibration. Also make sure the exhaust isn't touching the frame anywhere, that will also cause vibration to be felt at or near idle, worse when put in gear. If all of the above don't help then you may have a torque converter problem is it is an
    automatic transmission.
    Bad transmission mount will give constant vibrations on the road.very annoying. Often, bad motor mounts allow the engine to rock and move around, causing noise and interference problems with the throttle, transmission and clutch linkages. For example, a thumping noise when the transmission is put into gear or when the vehicle is accelerating is a classic symptom of a bad mount. also when climbing hills it will jump around. from the strain going up hill, that is putting torque on the engine. good-day ! on most vehicles you can start the vehicle, then put foot on brake.Have someone watch engine when putting torque on it. if the mounts are bad. you will see engine move or bad vibration.

    This details will help.Thanks.

    Rechargeable battery charging?

    There are many device/units using Rechargeable battery or also excepts rechargeable battery.
    Be it your laptop, your mobile, ipod or any deivice that has a charging battery it is important to keep it healthy so that you get the maximum life out of use. Since most of these cells have a ni-cd or ni-li composition it is important that the cells are not kept too long in idle state or drained out beyong the threshold. Since most of these cells develop back emf the charging pattern is most important. Ideally it is important to drain the battery to a low state before you charge them to the fullest. This is most important when the first charrging is done and subsequently must be done al least on a fortnightly basis.Never do half charging and short charging but try to make it fully charged. You must find a pattern of time and plan accordingly so that you get most out of your cells with good back up power.
    This basic details will help you to get most of the Rechargeable batteries.
    Thanks.

    Laptop Power Supply Getting Short?

    Laptop Power supply is very important for laptop,without that laptop will not get charged.
    Do not try to roll the power supply lead to the laptop all the time. This should be free of knots and twists as in the long run there is every possibility that the internal shielded twin core power wire could make a short and cut off the supply.
    If there is no supply coming to your laptop please check on the short of the DC line before you buy another charger. You may just have to cut and rejoin to release the short.
    Use a multimeter to check the line continuity. It will be best to open the adapter , in some cases you will need to break the sides using a sharp knife/tool so as to cut open the adapter to get access.
    Also in case where the capacitor has leaked you can wash off the electrolyte , and replace the capacitor with the same value.
    This basic details will help,you to take care of your laptop's power supply.

    Diesel Car Battery Failures?

    If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.
    Diesel car batteries don't last long,as compared to petrol car battery.Many car users have mentioned this in their reviews .This diesel car battery failure is increasing day by day.
    Most often diesel car battery fails earlier than the petrol version mainly because of the necessity of cranking more for compression ignition. I would suggest that if you can be patient and cautious when starting from cold condition, the battery will not be fatigued.
    AS YOU SWITCH ON WAIT FOR THE HEATER LIGHT AND THE RELAY TO CUT OFF BEFORE YOU CRANK. DEPENDING ON THE COLD CONDITION CRANK ONLY AFTER YOU SWITCH ON HEATER MAYBE A COUPLE TO SEVERAL TIMES.
    slowly you will come to understand your engine and after the heater relay has cut offf there is ample battery amperage on the battery to turn the starter with ease and maybe a single revolution start.Once you engage the heater and do this process do not switch off the engine unless it is warm and running to the desired temperature. Doing such a practice will make the battery regain lost power without a drain in the morning and possible early deterioration.
    This basic procedure will help you to make your diesel car battery last long,with much draining.
    Hope this helps.Thanks.

    How to make your Remote Control Last Long?

    Remote controls are now a days used much.Most of the electric devices now comes with remote control.Also failing of remote control rate is getting increased.
    Most of the remote control faults are due to failure/ leakage of battery in the deivce. It is important that the cells taht you install must be checked in a time period so that you could find out before the electrolitics leak and damage them. for his keep a date tab on the reverse side as a reminder, replacing them maybe in a period of three months. however if you are keeping away many such due to low use, please try to take off the batteries and let them idle. If however you ahve encountered such an issue, immediately open the remote, use a good cleaner to wash off, dry the PCB using a good hair dryer , then assemly them after cleaning and oiling the contacts from rust accumulation.
    You must do this remedial prevention for devices that hold a battery but kept without any use.
    This basic details will help.

    How to troubleshoot Home theater systems not working?

    Many home system users notice this problems,that there home system stoops working,if not used much.
    I have come across many complaints of home systems not working when one comes back after a long holiday. Go through this tips to take care of your dear products while you are away.
    To start with disconnect cable line and power to your TV and Home System , Disconnect power generally to all the other appliances if the period of absence is more than a month.
    Now the most important part is that in many cases moisture build up, condensation and insect infestation can be the biggest problem apart from power related issue for which we take off the cable and take power plug off.
    Cover the concerned appliance with a GOOD BLANKET to keep it warm within. If there are devices with battery you can remove battery or keep them connected to power specially cordless phones. But laptops can be kept off power. Micro waves must be clearly covered as the kitchen appliances are most vulnerable to such problems.
    when you return after the holiday the clocks might have to be set after switch on .
    However many may dispute to say that the power can be put on but in many cases lack of human interference results in insects to barge in and cause havoc. Hence if you in such a threat and environment, try this out.
    Also you may end up saving power by switching off the fridge during this long period.
    This basic procedures/tips will help you to make your home systems last long.

    car battery loosing its charge overnight?

    If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.

    This problem is noticed by many other car users too.The battery drains without driving the car.
    It is a common fault these days are more and more extra fittings are loaded to the cars and when proper precautions are not taken it will end up to fault the system.
    Hence in case of a battery drain overnight try these checks.
    You must check the drain current on your battery after the engine is switched off. The best way to check this out is to connect an ammeter in series to the battery and check. There can be a permissible limit of few milli amps but a large drain can in about 12 hours ( overnight) fully drain the battery no matter how much you have charged it or the system charged it up.
    Now disconnect one by one the circuits to centre on the faulty circuit and then the faulty device. This is easy as the fuse can be pulled out one by one till the ammeter reading drops down.
    Now it is always possible that directly connected circuits like Clocks, audio/video systems, remote control units , brake lamps park lamp circuits can be possible problem areas.
    After the device is identified and battery must be charged up fully and tested overnight.
    This details will help.Thanks.---------------

    How to Troubleshoot common problems in SMPS circuits

    SMPS means Switch mode Power supplies.
    For troubleshooting SMPS related problems,go through this details mentioned below :----

    There was a time when we had only transformers fitted on all the appliances which was sturdy and could stand up to rigourous voltage conditions. The disadvantges was the growing cost of copper & lamination metal, the weight and the universal voltage condition.
    The switch mode power supply came in to replace all the devices with an added advantage od space, cost and range of voltage but brought in higher failures when there was a voltage error.
    So I am listing few tips to look into a SMPS failure and possible safeguards.
    First of all in a SMPS failure if a fuse has blown the chances are there is a fault in the circuit and very rarely the fuse can be replaced unless the component is sorted out.
    So check from the power supply the possible major components to suspect.:
    1. Fuse
    2. The surge protector -- usually a varistor ( metal oxide)
    3. Rectifiers- in bridge circuit.
    4. Chopping oscillators- Intergrated circuit.
    5.Chopping drivers-- MOSFETS ( now incorporating a single IC for OSC and drive ) 
    6. SM ferrite transformer.
    7. Main filter capacitor ( will be seen as leak or short)
    8.Discrete reverse feedback diodes, capacitors or fusible resistors .
    9.Optocoupler which is the feedback trigger.
    10.Short in the secondary circuit can switch off power by current limiting.

    These are the most possible components that one must check on in case of a SMPS failure.
    To prevent a SMPS failure it is important that there are no transcient surges in the line supply, So have a good tight connection. If isolation transformers are used for costly sets it will be ideal to check many failures.
    Try not to leave the sets always connected to mains except if it is necessary to set the clock functions or timer functions.
    ----------
    This should help.
    Thanks.

    How to Inspect car no start problem?


    If you need dis-assembly or replacement instructions for any other auto/car part, or you want to ask question related to your car/truck jeep problem then please leave the comment with your details, so I can provide you the required instructions and solutions.

    There are many car users facing this problem.
    These are only a general check point which is quick check up for any car, make or model. 

    There can be so many issues for a car from starting.
    1. Start from the fuel, the fuel filter, the fuel pump, the fuel injectors, check all of them for good flow and pressure.
    The fuel can be bad, can contain dirt , impurities, water or even be spurious.
    The fuel filter is one that must be changed on schedule specially if the source of fuel is bad in a place or country.
    The fuel pump is now important because of the importance of fuel effficiency. the main fuel pump ,whether electric or mechanical is also to be checked.The carbuerator is another important suspect in the older version, the build up of dirt,clogging in ports and jets are common factors.
    the injectors, the glow plugs are also important for a good clean start, to be changed in the periodic schedule.

    2. The second part is to check the electrics, the plugs, the wires, the distribution, the HT coils, the electronics.... the final verdict you must get a good spark.
    The plugs, wires, distribution cups must be good or changed in periodic mileage. the HT coils must deliver good intensity sparks and the ingnition impulse whether from a sensor to an electronic unit to have solid state firing of the coil or the conventional platinum point contacts to the coils.
    As sais earlier a good intensity spark with the correct gap setting. 

    finally the timing should be right, the valves and cylinders in good shape, the battery and starter is good and cranking well.
    Check these tips when your car stalls unexpectedly .

    This details will help.
    Thanks.
