Hello and welcome to FixYa! If you have overheating problem, it can lead to multipleissues. You may be running on low coolant that's why the vehicle overheats. Ifthat's the case, please add coolant and make sure that it sits on the rightlevel, too much coolant can cause overheating too for coolant will overflow. The vehicle may have a faulty or worn out radiator blowermotor that's why it overheats. If that's the case then you will need a blowermotor replacement to resolve the issue. If the radiator is clogged with dirt and rusts this issueoccurs too. The coolant doesn't flow normally on the cooling system if it'sclogged. If that's the case, I strongly suggest that you have the radiatorflushed to drain out dirt and rusts. If you think that the radiator served youenough then it's better to have it replaced. Please do check the radiator hoses, If you have worn outhoses it can cause coolant leakage which can result to overheating. A tiny holeis good enough for the vehicle to overheat. A faulty thermostat sensor can cause the issue too. If youhave worn out thermostat, the fan may not trigger that's why the fan won't workwhen under stressed conditions. A blown radiator blower fuse can cause thisissue too so I suggest that you check the radiator blower fuse and replace itwhen necessary. What causes the radiator blower fan fuse to blow? It's becauseof a failing radiator blower motor, If that's the case have the radiator blowerfan motor replaced. If the fluid in radiator doesn't circulate then it meansthat you have a blown head gasket or a faulty water pump. I suggest that you gofor the water pump replacement first specially if you think that it's near theend of it's service life. Usually, water pops out the radiator when engine isreved (a sign of faulty water pump and possible blown head gasket). Hope you find this information helpful enough and thank youfor using FixYa! Have a good one!

start with giving it a tune up. Silly but true.

usually if a battery light is on it is a sign that the alternator has went out, start it and take the negative battery cable off while its running, if it dies the alternator is bad.. as far as the radio, that has nothing to do with it, most likely a fuse blown.

I use and I'd recommend you register for free at www.autozone.com Once registered you'll have access to repair and shop manuals for virtually any car or truck. All the data and diagrams you need now or may need in the future will be a couple of mouse clicks away.

Most dealerships will tell you they can't make another key. Contact a local locksmith who will remove the ignition, check the numbers on the tumblers and re-cut a new key. Cost will vary, around $100.

hi,this fault normally just requires the fan heat sensor to be replaced.I find it5 unlikely that both fans are faulty.Check the fuse also.

try running a wire from the + on the battery to the small electrical connector on the solonoid on the starter motor ,turn ign on then use wire to crank engine ,if it cranks but will not start then dealer only in case its the immobilisor

You have to drain it.

Get to the wires coming from the ignition switch and cut and tape both ends of the yellow wire.That yellow wire is the one that shuts the injectors down.

Check to see if you have any spark coming out of coil if none replace coil.

Check for spark. If you have spark and fuel, check for compression. You can rent a comression gauge from many auto part stores. Make sure you ask them for the compression specs. A compression test will reveal if there is a physical issue with the engine.

starter is bad

i would most likely replace the sending unit in the tank,this is wat meters fuel level and transmits bak to guage. i would first tap on top of dash board wen guage acts up to see if there are any changes in its erratic action,if there is then ur problem would b a faulty guage or in that area,if not then its safe to go bak to tank area an replace sending unit... good luck

one in air box one in tube to fuel air intake .

once the engine light came on, and you replaced the egr valve and the fuel filter, did you use a diagnostic code tester to see what code it was before you replaced these two items, if so, then the code tester can remove the engine light from being on, or if you don't have the tester, just disconnect the positive battery cable for about 1 minute, and then reconnect it back up, the light should be out now, but you will have to re set your clock, and radio functions if they were disturbed from the disconnection of the cable.

Sounds to me that water is present in the fuel system. Another would be a defective coolant sensor, and air temp sensor, these detect outside temp and render this output with the ECM.
