And if it doesn't fit, should I do 205/65/15 or stick with my 195/65/15?

Thanks for your time

205 is too wide for a civic

Good day gurus, I have 2 issues I need advice on.
1. In the morning, my car revs up high on start-up (1500rpm - 2000rpm) and stays there for minutes( 4mins or more). This only happens when the engine is cold
2. I have a p0500 code(vehicle speed sensor) but my my speedometer works fine. I have an intermittent transmission slip when changing to 2nd gear. Can the fault code be the cause of it?

That's the way a 1921 Ford T model series behave. It's absolutely normal.

OK... Please can you put me tru please. Because I have done my tyre balancing, alignment, changed my ball joints and checked d brakes. And it only starts at about 70km and it swerves to the right slightly even after doing the alightment more than once

I had this issue of my car swerving to the right. It was the lower control arm bushings on both sides. Check if they are worn out.

Good morning car gurus in the house,
I have a disturbing issue with my Hyundai Elantra 2007. The car drives excellently without AC but i get vibrations and slow response to throttle whenever i put on the AC. Injector has been cleaned, plugs changed to original NGK iridium, plug wires also changed to original NGK, fuel pump and filter replaced. However issue persists.
Scan result came up with P0340 and sensor has been replaced. Issue still persists.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by TRYGO(m): 7:51pm On Dec 16, 2019
Olumzzz. Some few questions for you sir.

1. What's the history of this car, prior to this problem?

2. Have you done any job recently on it?

Now, here's what I'm thinking about this problem.

1. This does not appear to be an AC system problem, regardless of the loads placed on the engine.

2. From that code, few things could caused the problem.
A faulty or failing can/crankshaft sensors; damaged wiring harnesses or connectors, of the sensors involved; a bad ECU, and finally, from my experience also, is a camshaft gear that has advanced, or retarded.

So, replacing all types of sensors on that car, won't fixed that issue. You'd keep getting power losses, and terrible fuel consumption.

Here's what I'd want you to do, if you can. But if you're not confidence enough handling it, you could check contact me via my signature.

1. Stop replacing any parts for now. As long as that thing fixed the fault initially, tells you it isn't the problem.

2. Check the sensors wiring from the camshaft to the crankshaft sensor, and up to the ECU point, just to make sure none have chamfered, shorted, or opened.

3. Lastly, check the timing alignments on that car, especially that camshafts.


Hope this info aids in sorting this problem.


Regards,
Joseph

Hello guys. Is it common for Lexus 2006 RX 330 (Canada) to come with a plug � that is attached to the radiator area (I haven’t traced the connecting wire to its source).

Wow, this is plenty o.
Thanks for this insight.

1. AC compressor was changed about a year ago.
2. This issue has been intermittent for over a year, i can't really tie both timelines together.

However, Oga Gazzuzz has volunteered to help diagnose.
I'll surely contact you if need be.
Thanks once again.

Normal, it's a heater element designed for use in extremely cold seasons warm up the engine before starting.

Thanks.
