Why would engine stumble just after start up?
With so little information reaching a solution is not likely.Does the fault happen every time the engine starts or only the first time? Does the engine run normal after the stumble? If it stumbles after every start a vacuum leak could be the cause. if it stumbles when first started turn it off and restart.If it starts as normal on restart. There is only one reason The coolant temperature sensor has failed. when this happens there will be a strong odor of gasoline. The computer meters fuel based on the signal it gets from the temperature sensor. when there is no signal it meters maximum fuel causing a slow rough first start and poor fuel milage.
I had my ford tuned up the gnion swith changed and now it i s hesitation again
Then that guess was not it, there are 2999 more parts to guess.
joking.... but is true. (guessing)
why not post the symptoms and ask for help.
ok, misfire or hesitation, which is it, it cant drive it to tell.
I misfire is violent. a hesitation or really a mini bog is smooth loss of power but catches up fast.
misfire is just that , a cylinder goes dead fore 1/10 second or longer.
the if its is misfiring a scan tool connected to the OBD2 port (all answers by me are USA< unless you fess up that)
you will see code DTC error P0300 or P030x (x = cylinder that failed)
so do a tuneup, (spark parts first) then filters. do the 60,000 mile list.
at least.
if no misfire and is just hesitation?
does it do it hot and cold engine or both
if only hot then does it catch up, if yes, the TPS is bad.
if not, a bad mAF or MAP, sensor or dirty.
to get best help ,say exactly when it hesitates and under what conditions, hot or cold engine, and what is your right foot doing.
sure its moving but how far an for how long and deep .
eg
does it hesitate hills to and at wide open throttle,
and at any speed, or level of road?
Why want my ac cool at stoplights in traffic
If your air is cooling only when you are driving, chances are your condenser is not working. Just the surface area should be enough to not allow temps to get too high. If it works while driving and not working while stopped or in non wind creating speeds, I would replace the condenser. Make sure to have your A/C evacuated by a shop first. I do not recommend charging it your self either. Reason being, you need to be able to pull a good vacuum in the system to remove air pockets and moisture. If this is not done for a set amount of time your A/C will work like crap and all your time and money will be wasted. Charging your own A/C at home just doesnt work like it should without a machine to pull vacuum. Good luck
Why does my ac quit working in traffic
At 30 miles per hr you get enough air flow through the condenser coil to keep the A/C cooling. Check the cooling fan at the radiator. It should run when the A/C is on no matter what the engine temperature is. When the freon is low enough to affect cooling it will do the same in traffic or on the road. Engine coolant level has no affect on the A/C,.The condenser is forward of the radiator. You didn't say the car was running hot.
Got hit from the left side but theright frontwheel was the one tilted towards insideof the wheel well can it be the stable lizers
it can be any part of the front suspension or brake system including drive train damage jack up right side and with wheel still on place hands at top and bottom of wheel and push and pull in and out if movement usually a ball joint but ball joints dont give off a grinding noise ===now grab tire at the 9 and 3 position front and back -push and pull if loose possible tie rod damage or steering component damaged this also doesnt give off a grinding noise unless bent into a turning part =====turn wheel and listen and look at cv axle and around brake area if noise remove wheel and now inspect brake caliper ,brakes ,hub and axle for noise these components can give you your grinding noise repair or replace damaged components the other tests performed were for possible damaged parts since wheel was bent inward
