If my car’s check engine light is on and the plug on the oxygen sensor is melted would the check engine light come on because of that?

Yes it could create high resistance, or a short on multiple wiresensors. Either one will set the MIL on. Jim O’Neill – Chino Autotech Inc., Auto Club SoCal AAR

I have a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville 3.8 Supercharged. When the mass air flow sensor is plugged in the cars RPMs surges when it idles. If I unplug the MAFS the RPMs raise to about 1,000 rpm. I put a brand new TPS and IACV on it.

Why is it that our customers ask us to read the check engine light and then ask us to clear it if they will not fix the problem? They get upset when the light comes back on, and they don’t understand if you dont fix the problem the light wont go away.

I have a ‘98 Mercury Mountaineer with a 4.0 SOHC and we have had a problem with it dying at red lights and stop signs.

I have a ‘98 Mercury Mountaineer with a 4.0 SOHC and we have had a problem with it dying at red lights and stop signs. We have already replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs and wires and a coil pack. It feels like its not getting fuel but then also sounds like the cat is clogged up or at least starting. Anybody have any idea how to help. Oh yeah and there is no check engine light and no pending codes in the memory. HELP.

I have some questions about R-134 air conditioning systems.

I have some questions about R-134 air conditioning systems. With the high temperatures of south Texas this summer, the low side pressure has been increased by about 5psi in the heat of the day on various vehicles. Is the increase in pressure caused by air in the system expanding and being pushed through the system by the compressor? This is resulting in air conditioning not being as cold because of the pressure build. If this is the case, what is the best way to bleed the air out of the system?

I have a 1998 Chevy K1500 with a 5.7L Vortec.

I have a 1998 Chevy K1500 with a 5.7L Vortec. If I let the truck run for 6-10 minutes with the A/C on the truck will die and not start back up until it has cooled down, say 20-25 minutes. I tested fuel pressure and it is fine. I replaced the ignition coil, ignition control module, and camshaft positioning sensor. Reason for replacing the cam sensor was after replacing the first two my truck finally had a trouble code, which was a cam sensor. It acts no different than it did before after replacing all these parts. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
