Look at this example...


"I have a 91'S-10 Blazer and recently a new engine was installed a few days ago. I realized my oil pressure gauge would not respond unless I punched the accelerator. On my way to work today a horrible knocking was emanating from my engine. Please help me, with this I have put a lot of money in this truck and I do not want to get rid of it. Thank you."...

From a ATS prospect


From the story here...it is obvious that the person above has difficulty checking his/her engine after it was replaced. If he was an ATS member, I could have e-mailed to him/her what to look for and even what to say to the garage so that he/she could get a warranty.

Or try to analyze her problem...

"I just bought a 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and didn't make it but 10 miles when it shut down just like I had turned the key off. The engine would turn but not start, after letting it sit for 3 hours it started and I made it 8 miles before it shut down again. Letting it sit overnight; I finally made it the last 4 miles home where it shut down.
I was told by the car lot that I bought it as is, so I guess I am out my money plus $157.00 in new parts that was put on it today. A mechanic advised that it was either the Ignition control module and or the coil packs. All those have been put on the engine and it still won't run over 15 minutes without shutting down.

No warning lights come on, and it runs and sounds nice and quiet when it is running. Can you please give me some suggestions on what the problem could be and what I can do to fix it?"...From another ATS prospect

And this is what happened after she joined ATS!
"Just wanted to let you know that they came and got my car late last night and they fixed it today. Cost me $30.00 for the part, I must say that he seemed shocked when I knew what he was talking about. It was the crank sensor as you said. It drives like a dream now, with the exception that it needs new shocks I think.

Thank you so much for your help and kindness. I really had it last night, because when he left here, he left driving it and said he knew that car and he knew he could make it 30 miles without any trouble. He made it 15 and it died, but he owns a tow truck.I was amazed that he admitted it to me that it did it to him also"........................................Mary S. from Kentucky,USA.

Here's what people say about ATS:

Hello Rich, I ended up replacing the ecu with a new one. My truck did have the right one according to the part no. on the box - even though it wasn't good. Anyhow to make a long story short she started right up. That was five minutes ago. I'm going back to finish putting it all together. I really appreciate all your help. You were excellent and patient enough to see it through the end. Without you I probably would have replaced both fuel pumps at over $100 each and still had no results.
.......Randy S. (on his F150 ford truck)

Hi Rich I got the fuel injector/regulator today and installed it. Checked the pressure and it was 60 lbs and just stayed there. The truck runs the best its' run in 6 months HOORAY! Thanks for all your help and hopefully you won't hear from me for a while :-)
........Dave H. 1995 Chevy Blazer

Dear Rich, thank you for all of your help. ats is the best trouble shooting site on the web , I was very impressed with the direct response that I received to my questions. it only took 3 e-mails to get my no spark condition fixed with my 89' olds cutlass . my car is up and running as good as new thanks to ats. thanks again you are the best.. and will recommend you to all my buddies we will spend less time searching for the problem and more time enjoying the free time and money saved by fixing it ourselves. thanks
.......Jeremy (on his 1989 Cutlass)

"Hello Richard, You were right! I installed a Mazda clutch and the problem is gone. Thank you for your help!" .......Oscar R. (on his Mazda RX-7 1991 clutch problem)
Problem Solved! The picture is 99.9% the same. The hose that connects to the 6B608 nipple on the left side of the picture has an additional "L" shaped rubber connector that's not shown in the diagram. It adds a necessary 90-degree turn to the hose so it can connect to the nipple. And, it is in this "L" shaped connector I found a puncture. I plugged it with Motorcraft heat-sealing gasket compound from Ford and the problem disappeared! Thanks for guiding me in the right direction! Regards, . ...Paul S. (1998 Ford Escort)

I found a blown fuse in the engine compartment (at the relays) which fixed the problem - both the check engine light and the fuel pump work now. Thank you for your cooperation! .......Stefan H. (1993 Ford Taurus.)

Thanks Richard,The procedure below worked like a champ in about a minute and a half. I would have never figured that out on my own!!! I figured the system had a reset but just didn't know how or where! ......Kevin S. (1998 Plymouth Voyager)

Thanks Richard: Good exploded view, easy to interpet and I love the extras you have included which you do not get with a service manual. Telling me not to touch the strut bolts has already saved me the costs of an alignment. Thanks for your help. .........Clyde S. (1995 Toyota Camry)

Thank you! i replaced the heat control panel and Wallah! AC is back! ........Renee H. (1993 Caravan )

I recently had a problem with some routine transmission work done on my vehicle. The garage fixed the problem ok but created another which ultimately resulted in my car catching fire and being destroyed. To add insult to injury, I later found out that they had charged me three times the usual charge for the privilege. I tried to resolve this with the garage but because I have no knowledge of the workings of a vehicle and the manager was treating me like the "little female", I was really fighting a losing battle. I needed help from somebody that was independent and knew what they were talking about. I contacted several sights on the internet but the only site to reply with useful information was Rich at the ATS site. He talked to me in depth about the problem and gave me invaluable information to help me. It is very reassuring to know that there are professionals out there that are prepared to help. .........Sandra W. (1989 Dodge Sundance)


Can you afford not to have this INFO nowadays?

I doubt it. Actually, it's just like having a mechanic friend whom you can contact every time you have problems with your vehicle. Even if you don't like to make your hands dirty, knowing what to say to your garage/mechanic can help you protect yourself from RIP-OFFS!

Hi Rich,

As per your advice, I took the BOLD decision to take the computer apart and tried it with out the piggy computer, no spark... put it all back together and rechecked the coil voltage only had 0.6v So I checked the fuses under the dash and it only showed 10 amps not 15 amps as per your wiring diagram. I secured the fuse connections and when I backed out to check the voltage again at the coil, BINGO!!!!...I have 12 volts and had my son turn it over and it fired up!!! Just imagine how much I saved in this engine problem and I am now more thrilled to have your service!

I hope I won't need to use your services again but I was stuck and needed some help and you were very prompt and helpful. I am relieved that I have you on my side and I don't have to rely on our forum and waiting for a response. I left a link to your website so I am sure you will see more business especially from guys who wanted to modify their engines for performance.

Thanks!

Robb H. dated April 23.08 from Minnesota USA about his 2002 Civic Si with high performance turbo charged engine. He had it soup up with a piggy back computer but quit 2 weeks after installing it.

 



Do you need an online technician support right NOW?

Hi Richard,

My name is GREG from Fresno California and I just joined your program TODAY to help me fix my 1993 Subaru Legacy RHD with 2.2L non turbo engine with awd AT transmission. This morning I went to start the engine and the rpm went up/down between 200 rpm to 2000 rpm and almost killed the engine. After it warmed up, it went back to normal but the idling is a little rough and I am now using a lot of gas. Please help because the shop or dealer wants too much money to fix it!!!

Dated April 28.08 10:40 pm from Greg C. Fresno California USA

After ATS emailed the common fixes to GREG, here is what he has to say:

HI Richard!

Everything is ok now. Like you suggested, I just replaced the mass sensor and put a new air filter and it works! I could not believe it till I heard the engine ran and my gas mileage is back now!

Thanks!
