    My first thought is that you forgot to tighten something like a sway bar link, making loud sounds if they are worn or not tightened.

    My other thought – Did you install new upper top mount bearings? If you put a shim or a washer in the wrong order it may cause a sound

    Hi.

    Did you check the fuel pressure and made sure if you have any spark? The spark is quite easy to check by lifting up a spark plug and ground it and let someone run on the starter meanwhile.

    Also, did you check through our article? https://mechanicbase.com/engine/car-engine-cranks-but-wont-start/

    If it only occurs on cylinder 4 which the p0304 code means, then you should check the ignition coils if you have it 🙂

    Check this if you haven’t seen it https://mechanicbase.com/trouble-code/p0300/

    Hi You need to check and verify if you have spark. What vehicle and car is it? Difficult to answer without any information!

    Hello, what engine is it? Could be a crankshaft position sensor if it has difficulties starting warm. Otherwise, if the fuel pressure is a little bit too low I would guess fuel filter, fuel pump, etc. find more information here:

    Hello did you try to retrieve the radio code on Honda’s website? You need to find the VIN number of your car first.

    Check out this article made by me for more tips on how to find the radio code:

    Hi it all depends on how clogged it is. If it is just slightly clogged you can actually try to force a PDF filter regeneration with a diagnostic tool. Otherwise, there are special fluids your can clean it with but for this, you have to remove the filter.

    Yes because the thread is in slightly wrong forum section. Should be in repair help where you can choose car model.

    However, did you verify if you have spark while cranking?

    Hi I can’t exactly understand the question, but if the front tires are leaning in the upper = negative camber, there is probably something wrong with your upper or under control arm bushings

    P0405 means that there is a fault in the circuit and this is often caused by faulty wirings or a faulty EGR valve. Need to test the EGR valve with a diagnostic scanner from the engine control unit. Can probably measure it with a multimeter also but need the right values from the manufacturer

    If the starter is turning slowly, it definitely sounds like a power, ground issue or a faulty starter. It could be a ground issue between the engine-to-body or the car battery-to-body. Next time it happens, try to put a jumper cable between the engine-to-body or battery-to-body at some good ground points.

    If the ground cables and power cables seem fine, I would take a look at the starter.

    You can’t just measure it with a multimeter, need to test it under load. You can also feel carefully if any of the ground cables are warm after a starting attempt, this usually happens when it’s bad (warning they can become really hot. Regarding the airbag light, you should first read the codes because when the light is on there is a trouble code stored.

    Basically, the AC system and the coolant system are two separate systems and have very little to do with each other. The only way I can imagine they did something is if they caused a leak by accident or forgot to plug in a wire for example. However, the chance seems very small so it’s very likely that it’s a coincidence.

    The only way in my opinion to know if they did something is to let another workshop do the troubleshooting and after that see if it could be caused by them.

    Because they are separate systems there is really nothing you do to check the AC system so it’s probably not something you will notice during the service either.

    Continuing to drive with a broken AC system totally depends on what’s wrong with it. In most cases, there is nothing to worry about since the AC compressor will shut off and freely spin when the AC pressure is low. However, there is always a small chance that the AC compressor is broken and this could cause trouble if you drive with it so I would recommend a check as soon as possible!

    Hello.

    Did you measure the voltage on the battery? Maybe the low voltage from the bad battery is causing all issues. Worth checking properly before replacing any parts!

    Is it an electrical oil level gauge or when you check the dipstick? The oil level can differ a lot depending on if the engine is warm or cold also. The car needs to be standing on a flat surface with the engine off for at least 10 before you check the oil level to get a good measurement.
