At low speeds a bad camshaft sensor will cause the car's engine to stall. The engine may also experience an inability to turn over, resulting in the car not starting. This may not happen all the time since the car's on-board computer will use the last readouts from the camshaft sensor to operate the pistons and manage fuel flow, Good-Day!

Drop in to a parts store like Autozone and they will scan it for you free and point you in the direction of any possible problem. If not, get back to us with that code(s) and we can help.

Remove the inspection plate on the bottom of the transmission at engine the sensor is located by the fly wheel. Good luck

It should be 11 to 12 qts on a completely dry transmission. All the vehicles fluid capacities will be in your owners manual, if you don't have one; check with your local parts store or dealership.

Here you go. Instead of me writing a long list of possible problems, and how to fix each; go to engine-codes.com and type in the codes. This will tell you everything you need to know. Good Luck.

Hi Les, I;m glad to help. There is an fusible link that runs off the battery cable pull on it and see if it comes apart, if it does replace it and see if everything is working properly. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Les.

Hi Elizabeth, the "No Bus Message" means you have a sensor or something else bringing down the BUS on your vehicle and sometimes when this happens on certain vehicles it want allow the vehicle to start and run. Then only way to figure out what is brinin g the BUS down is when the message appears then don't turn the key off, instead unplug one thing at a time until the message goes away, then you have found the thing thats brining it down. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Elizabeth!

No bus means the engine computer, body computer, and dash panel are not talking to each other. It could be a wiring problem or a circuit board in one of the components.

Over filling is not good. You may be able to siphon some of it out by inserting a clear plastic tube down the tranny dipstick tube.

There is a pressure relief valve to prevent the pump locking up and destroying itself. You will hear it working when you hold the steering hard on full lock. Otherwise the fluid is recycled back to the reservoir through the valves until you turn the wheel and that upsets the valves which close off until the wheel movement stops and no fluid is let in or released until the wheel is again moved.

There are a few possibility on this one. If you run it out of gas or really low on gas you could of sucked junk up from the bottom of the tank and you will need to replace your fuel filter. Another is that your fuel pump us going bad and you would need to check the pressure. Your throttle position sensor may have gone bad. Your idle control valve is another. Your map sensor or mas sensor could be bad

I recommend you to go to your local Autozone store and ask them to check your vehicle for emissions and other engine problems. This is a free service. They will show you a print out of the probable causes of the problem you are having and the cost of the parts you need to fix your vehicle. I do not work for Autozone, but the reason I recommend them is that I have learn a lot about cars problems because their free of charge advice and they have saved me a lot of money. Some mechanic shops will charge you to check your vehicle and try to fix unneeded problems. Autozone will loan you the tools, equipment available, such as AC vacuum and testing equipment and other needed tools to fix your car issues. The only thing is that if you borrow any equipment or tools, they will ask you for a deposit or credit card in the event that you do not return the equipment or tools borrowed on time.

OBD2 Stands for On Board Diagnostic Version 2 CANBUS means Control Area Network Bus CANBUS is a communications protocol that allows devices and computers in a modern car to communicate with each other. It allows modern vehicles to have such functions as increasing the volume of the stereo as you speed up and slowing down the windscreen wipers when the car stops. OBD2 is a standard for fault reporting and transmitting real time data on how an engine is behaving to an external device connected to the diagnostic port in your car. This may be a handheld OBD code reader device or a laptop equipped with suitable diagnostic software. If you had a CANBUS capable OBD device connected to your car's diagnostic port then it would use the CANBUS protocol to exchange data with your cars on board computer systems. With some devices this can be a 2 way exchange and can allow you to upload new engine software for better performance and program some of the other functions of the car like whether the central locking unlocks the drivers door or all the doors on the first click of the remote or requires two clicks to unlock all the doors.

they are color coded . Black to Black . Gray to Gray. White to White. There may be more than one white wire you can mix them up and it will still work correctly
