I FOUND OUT THAT MY COOLANT LEAK IS COMING FROM AROUND THE VALLEY WHERE THERE HEAD GASKETS ARE SEALED. I WAS SHOWN THIS ON A COMPUETR SCREEN WHILE A PRESSUE TEST WAS DONE. THE MAINTENANCE PEOPLE COULD NOT TELL ME WHETHER I WAS THE HEAD GASKET OR THE HEAD. HOW DO I GET TO THE HEAD GASKET.

I had trouble with the car alarm system. I pulled out the fuse relays and fuses, and let the car sit for about 3 months. I replaced the relays, and fuses and everything seems to work except the flashers and turn signals. I still beleive there is something between the car alarm going off and not having the fasahers and signals, but the darn electronics seems to cover ewverything except the alarm system. Any ideas that I might try before going to a dealer?

Hi My Cat 2000 start fine when it is cold. So, after I drive it for some time, that is, until the indicator of temperature crosses the middle (normal work temperature), it become hot as normally. The problem is when I switch off the car and after I intent to start again - dead. It only starts the lights in the panel and that's all. Then, I have to wait some 30, 40 or more minutes, while the motor refreshes a little bit and start again. It's a big mess when I have to make various stops in different places, always have to wait! I changed the Crankshaft position sensor, but it does't help. Some peoples said that I have to change the MAF, but I think that's not the problem. Can anybody help with this issue? thank a lot.

Replying to: micldar (Apr 18, 2009 10:41 am) How to diagnose? Well if you' re on your own, you might buy one of those remote starter switches at Autozone, and hook that up when the problem occurs. This little cheap device allows you to by-pass the ignition switch. The car won't START with the remote starter (you aren't supplying current to the ignition system, only the starter) but it will crank the starter motor. Since this remote goes directly from the battery to the starter relay, you get to test both relay and starter. The down side of this suggestion is that I don't know how difficult it is for you to access the starter motor connections on your car--I'm not that familiar with Cateras. You might also thoroughly clean your battery cables. I don't think doing this will set off your alarm system unless you disconnect the battery and then try to reconnect it. I think you have to open your doors first with your remote keypass before you mess with the battery.
