You try to explain to the customer that the problem is in the brakes, but they dont believe you because they had the pads and rotors already replaced by their "mechanic". Easy to machine ro...

Re: 2002 Toyota Solara Coupe - 2.4L Surge

Re: 2004 Mitsubishi Ralliart - Rev Limiter Issue

I would suspect the air gap on the crankshaft position sensor has been changed. If gap is too small this problem could happen(in theory).

Re: 2000 Chrysler Sebring - No Spark To Plugs

Looking at the wiring diagram you need power from ASD relay, 5 volt supply, 2 grounds, coil driver(from PCM) grounding the coil and a CMP signal. I assuming your missing one of those signals.
