My vw t5 2004 goes into limp mode every time i go over 50mph

Limp Mode is the Engine protecting itself as one of the engine sensors has found a fault listed as serious. Are there any warning lights showing on the dashboard?
You will need to get it plugged into a Diagnostic System or an OBD2 scanner to find out if there are any trouble/error codes. This will guide you to what the possible problem is.
Most garages and dealerships will charge for this but you can buy simple and basic OBD2 scanners online.
Please comment below if you need anymore help or how to translate the trouble codes.

Volvo s40 2005 2.4i automatic trans, 245k, at start up when driving engine bogs down

If I remember right, your car does not have a trans filter. I'm pretty sure it has a particulate screen to catch contaminates that can be cleaned and re-used. But your fluid needs flushed and replaced. Do not have it flushed with a circulator pump as this will push all of your seals out. Just drain and refill your system 3 times driving it a short distance between changes. On your 2nd change, I add a bottle of Trans-X and drive about 100 miles before your last change. This usually takes care of the issue. If not, it is time to seek a transmission shop.

VW Rabbit 2009, EPC light and P0322 code. Ignition needs to be cranked 4-5 seconds before car starts.

P0332 = Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor/engine speed (RPM) sensor - no signal.
The sensor monitoring the RPM's of the engine isn't communicating with the vehicle's ECU, (brain). This could explain the difficulty starting the engine.

2003 Chevy tracker issues starting When attempting to start it turns over a bit but then stops then I hear clicking and then a buzz but won’t start, over time the turning over went away when trying to start. I’ve replaced the battery 3 times within 4 months and it was a 24F from Walmart. 1. My initial thing was that it was the battery thus the changing out 3 times the first 2 batteries had blown cells but the last one tested good 2. My second thought was the alternator so I took it and had it tested and it tested good 3 times 3. I don’t believe it could be the starter since I can jump start the car, although it dies after like 15 minutes so I’m kinda unsure here I replaced the battery with one from a different store after calling them and being told my car needed a battery from group 85 would that be a cause for it not staying charged? Can anyone tell me what issues might be happening I just don’t want to keep fixing the same issue repeatedly!?

If you have a voltmeter, with the car running check the voltage across the battery posts. It should be around 13.8. If it’s 12 volts or less, even tho your alternator tests out good, it’s not charging the battery and the car will run off the battery until it drains the battery. I’d check the wires coming from your alternator to make sure they have a good connection and not broken and I’d check your fuse box for a blown fuse as well assuming you don’t have a radio or amplifier or something else wires up that stays on all the time. Some alternators are 1 wire and it usually has a wire going directly to the positive battery cable. Also could have a bad fusible link

Tip

Brake lubricant, why it's important to use the correct type

When replacing brake pads and rotors. Make sure to use the correct lubricant in the correct location. Slide pins should always be lubricated with a synthetic/silicon brake lubricant. Never ever use Anti-seize on slide pins, or anything rubber for that matter. Anti-seize will cause rubber to swell and cause slide pins to seize in the caliper brackets. Using any kind of lubricate formulated for brakes will prevent unnecessary repairs down the road.

You may use Anti-seize on any other metal to metal contact point. This means brake hardware that contacts the brake pad, the back of the pad where it meets the caliper piston and fingers, the hub face that meets the back of the rotor hat, and the pilot whole where the wheel centers itself.

Keep these tips in mind the next time you replace your pads and rotors and you will be on the road to success! Until next time, happy driving!

If you have any questions or need help while replacing your brake pads, trust a professional! Please feel free to contact me for advice on your current or next repair. Follow this link to contact me directly: https://www.6ya.com/eugene_aa01c1a9fa4c2ed9

1994 F250 electric nightmare

Check your voltage with power vehicle (place key to run.), If the batteries are draining down overnight it is time to replace BOTH Batteries. If one is failing it will draw down the other. if you have to charge battery more than once it is time to replace. Yes the price will grab you wing wang and make you squeak.

Will a blinking check engine show a code?

Yes, it should show a code and is more serious than a steady check engine light. A blinking CEL usually indicates that your vehicle's engine is misfiring, which could severely damage your catalytic converters. ...Engine misfire is a severe condition that requires immediate attention to avoid expensive repairs or even a car fire! You should stop driving and seek immediate repair.

GMC suburban crank, no start, ALL EIGHT INJECTION CONNECTIONS ARE CONSTANT WHILE TRYING TO START.

2nd try.

Fuel pressure is good.
Test lamp show VCM is commanding injectors to open.

So your thought is the common side of the injectors are not powered. I believe this is the correct schematic for a '97 suburban.
There is the ECM1 fuse but hard to believe that fuse is blown, check it anyway.
