SOURCE: 1999 Ford F250 won't start

probably the starter relay. Use a test light or meter and have some try to crank it over while testing the post of the relay which goes to the starter. If it doesn't light up or show voltage, then do the same thing with the terminal that comes from the key/switch. If it doesn't show voltage coming in from the key, then it isn't your relay, if it shows voltage coming in, but not going to the starter when the key is turned, then it is the relay.

I have a 1997 Ford F-150 Lariat, and when pulling a trailer it makes a chattering noise when the gas pedal is pressed down to pick up speed. When going up a hill it will not go passed 40 mph and starts to...

If tranny is manual shift you may have a bearing and or bad gear. Try changing tranny fluid. Check manual for correct fluid may use tranny fluid rather than gear oil. I recommend using Royal Purple fluid or gear oil. This very expensive but will slicken up the shifting and extend bearing and gear life.

'97 540i spluttering & cutting out

best bet is to go get any codes that may be stored in the PCM. This will take alot of the guess work out of diagnosing it. Or remove the spark plgs and replace them.. If you have 50,000 or more this could be the cause but a code may tell you which one is the issue
