2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo: Water on passenger side floorboard?

In this case water gets collected on passenger side Front floorboard.
This problem of water getting collected is always noticed after heavy rains.

On this basic of description,the details to troubleshoot this issue is as follows:---

First of all i will say,then many car models and brands notice this same problem.Its a common problem.This water actually gets collected due to dirt blockage.
Or a loose drain line.

This is due to rain water entering the vehicle at the fresh air inlet just below the windshield. There is a rubber strip that should redirect water away from the air inlet, but it will sometimes become detached, allowing water to enter the vehicle. To fix this, turn the wiper on and then turn the key off with the wiper in the up position. Open the hood, then remove the plastic panel at the base of the windshield on the passenger side. You will then see the rubber strip at the base of the metal edge below the windshield. Clean the rubber strip and reattach with weatherstrip adhesive or RTV silicone. This should fix your problem.


This details will help.
Thanks.

1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera: The Engine cranks but not start?

In this case the engine cranks fine but will not start.ts 3.1L engine model Oldsmobile ciera.

To troubleshoot this problem,
Try this procedure :----
Remove one of the plug wires at the coil and crank the engine to see if you have spark.
If you get no spark then spark plug is the issue.But if you get spark but fuel not getting to it,then here is the problem.

On this Engine model the injectors are covered , so there is not an easy way to test for injector pulse. The problem is most likely a failed fuel pump. There is a test port on the end of the fuel rail, near the power steering pump. Fuel pressure can be tested at this port with a gauge. You should have 40-47 psi with the key on, engine off. If fuel pressure is lower than specified, replace the fuel pump.

Getting this possibilities checked / inspected will help.
Thanks.

Multiple problems on car: Car runs hot,A/C blows hot and car starts surging?

Its a multiple problem issue.

The Symptoms noticed are .......

  • First car runs hot.
  • Then A/C starts blowing hot
  • And then car starts surging.


As per this description mentioned,the troubleshooting for the problem is as follows :----


From the symptoms described, it sounds like the radiator cooling fan is not working. This will make the engine get hot, it will also not allow the air conditioner to cool properly. The compressor would also cycle on and off due to the high pressure in the system, this is the surging when the compressor turns on and off.

If the engine stays cool and the a/c cools okay when travelling down the road, this is because there is airflow through the condenser and radiator. When stopped, the fan must come on to provide this airflow.

In this case either its a bad radiator fan motor or relay, most likely it is the fan motor that is bad.

Getting this possibilities checked/ inspected will help.
Thanks.

2005 Pontiac G6 GT: Metallic clanking noise on idle?

The problem is noticed on Pontiac G6 vehicle.

There is loud metallic / clanking type noise is heard from the bottom side or back of engine.The noise is basically heard at idle.

The sound gets worse at around 1700-2000 Rpms.

The sound/noise is same whether the transmission is in gear or not in gear.

On this base of description the troubleshooting details for this problem is as follows :---

The problem sounds like it is a failing lifter or perhaps a rocker arm that is coming loose. I would suggest removing the valve covers so that the rocker arms can be inspected and retightened. Since the sound does not change in gear then it is not going to be a cracked flexplate (flywheel) and also will not likely be in the transmission.

Getting this possibilities mentioned here inspected will help.

Thanks.

2005 GMC ENVOY: Turn Signals Don't Work When Brakes Are Applied?

In this case the turn-signals stop working when brakes are applied.But otherwise the turn signal works.

On basis of this description the details and possibilities to troubleshoot the problem are as follows :-----

As its mentioned that turn signals are working,but stops only when brakes are applied.

This clears that turn multi-function signal switch is working.But still check / inspect the switch voltage and wiring.

Also recheck the brake light switch and its connections properly.

But if all this checked out perfectly ok.

Then read further
The problem you are experiencing is a bad ground to the taillights. Inspect the connectors at each taillight and make sure the connector and terminals are not damaged. If you have an ohmmeter, test for continuity to ground on the black wire. If you have no ohmmeter, connect a jumper wire to a good ground and then to the black wire at the taillight connector and see if this fixes the problem. If it does not then the problem is in the taillight socket plate. This is a common failure on the Envoy and is most likely in the taillight socket plates.

This details will help.
Thanks.

2006 Cadillac cts-v Clutch Getting stuck?

In this case the Garage Shop replaced clutch assembly on Cadillac car but its going in gear and not releasing out.Its stuck.
On base of this description,the troubleshooting is as follows:---


First thing i will say,On 2006 caddy cts model the clutch is hydraulically actuated, so there is no adjustment. It is possible there is air trapped in the hydraulic system.That has to be bleed out. The best way to bleed the air out of the system is to use a hand held vacuum pump to apply vaccuum to the top of the clutch fluid reservoir.

There is no adjustment at the pedal or linkage since this system is hydraulic. If the clutch does not disengage properly and all of the air is bled out of the system then the clutch has to be binding mechanically due to improper installation.


Also the other possibility can be issue with slave cylinder.
The slave cylinder can be binding internally and causing the problem. I would suggest double checking the installation of all parts, if it all looks okay then replace the slave cylinder with a GM part.

This details will help.
Thanks.

Z-Rated tire For 1976 Corvette Stingray T-Top Coupe?

Basically as per vehicle model and year mentioned  Chevy corvette uses Z-Rated tire in a 15 inch.

But that will will be difficult to find.

But 16 inch tires are available.

The 16 inch wheel and tire combo is a good choice for the Corvette. The sizing and backspacing will work well and mirror very closely the original 15 x 8 Corvette Rally wheel. Make sure to select the 5 x 4-3/4 bolt circle to fit your car. (wheels may have dual bolt pattern built in)/.

This details will help.
Thanks.
