chech gas cap

sounds like you have a wiring problem for it to be a 06 hummm, make sure you get the right battery also with the right cranking aps, you might also have corrosion on the starter or battery and that can also stop it from turning over

Hi Alberts73,
The caliper piston has to be turned clockwise as it is compressed. If not,it will not retract. This will allow the park brake to reset. If you have only pressed the caliper in with a "C" clamp,you may have damaged the mechanism inside the caliper. If this has happened,you will need to replace them.The OTC #206-026 is the tool for turning the caliper back into the bore. I hope this helps,if you need more information,drop me a line. Thanks,Chuck

have 4.6l, just above exhaust pipe on rh side

check releys and switches

i have a 07 v6 as well, and the electronic throttle control light came on after extreme change in weather, warm to cold. Restarted the car later in the evening and no light.

Check inside the lid of the fusebox. Many are there.

This is true of any vehicle,when ever you replace sharkplugs in any vehicle this is a risk.What breaks on a spark plug is the white porcelin not the accual part that bolts into the block or head.If you are going to attempt this yourself(which I recommend)make sure you have the proper tools(socket set,spark plug socket,usually comes with the socket set,extensions,a swivel,spark plug boot removal tool is not nessary but if you havent replaced you sparkplugs in the past 3 years the wires may have become stuck)Make sure the gap is set properly,local parts store can provide this info,and start the new plugs by hand making sure that they are in straight.

sounds like a faulty tbi or the vechiale is in limp mode do a code check and look up code on yahoo

Basically this means that an oxygen sensors
in bank 1 and bank 2 detected a rich condition (too little oxygen in the exhaust).

A code P0172 and P0174 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
1. The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of "oiled" air filters can cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors leak the silicone potting material used to protect the circuitry.
2. There could be a vacuum leak.
3. There could be a fuel pressure or delivery problem

Possible solutions include:
Inspect all vacuum and PCV hoses, replace if necessary
Clean the MAF sensor. Consult your service manual for its location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner. Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling
Inspect fuel lines for cracks, leaks, or pinches
Check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail
Check the fuel injectors, they may be dirty. Use fuel injector cleaner or get them professionally cleaned/replaced.
Check for an exhaust leak before the first oxygen sensor (this is unlikely to cause the problem, but it is possible)

piece by piece
buy from local auto parts store

How old is the battery? have it checked at the local part shop like Advance Auto or Auto Zone etc -
Take down the Vin # and call the local dealer - - ask about recalls and Service bulletins.

sounds like you may have locked the starter - try starting it in neutral. If this fails - remove the starter and test it at the local store - most likely it is dead if the car refuses to start in neutral.

Take down the Vin # and call the local dealer - - ask about recalls and Service bulletins.

the track inside the window area is bad - or there is an obstruction - - one quick cure it so spray 'white lithium' grease into the groves on each side of the door -- a lot - while running the window up and down - otherwise you will need to remove the door panel - spray plenty inside the window mechanism and run the window up and down again . If all else fails most likely you need a new window 'regulator'
Take down the Vin # and call the local dealer - - ask about recalls and Service bulletins.

the switch is most likely bad or poorly connected - the only way to be sure is to remove the panel and look - -also - take down the Vin # and call the dealer - ask about any recalls or Service Bulletins

call catholic priest - ask about price for exorcism - - hahah - sorry couldn't resist --

to start - take down the vin and call the local dealer ask about recalls or service bulletins - this sounds like a loose ground from the factory

its most likey your altenator there =s no charge going to the batt

make sure you have the right thermostat installed

If while turning you are putting pressure to force it in and it is not moving it may be extended out too far. If that is the case if pressure does not help you can rebuild or replace the caliper. This can happen when the brakes wear down too far.

i had a similar problem with my 05 mustang water was entering from windshield cowl plastic grommets in body and ending up with 2inches of water after a heavy rain on my front passenger floor board..... if you remove the wipers and then plastic cowling (actually very easy) you will see plastic grommets that cowl locks into .... on some cars these fit very loose i removed mine and applied small bead of sealer arround each opening before reinstalling grommets remember to also remove and seal round grommet in middle that is for cowl alighment pin we used seam sealer from autobody supply store..... allowed to cure and water tested and no more leaks........ heard about water leaking arround these from mustang site and checked mine ... they fit poorly and loose
