UPON INSPECTION WE SEE THE CEL IS NOT ON BUT WE SCANNED FOR CODES: P3130-008 – INTAKE AIR TEMP SENSOR PERFORMANCE P2951-008 – EGR COOLER WE PERFORMED ON-DEMAND TESTING AND WATCHED READINGS FROM SENSOR, GOOD READINGS AT THIS TIME. WE PULLED THIS SENSOR TO INSPECT, FOUND IT VERY SOOTED UP, DIRTY. WE CLEANED IT AND RECONNECTED IT BUT THESE SENSORS ARE KNOWN TO FAIL DUE TO IT'S LOCATION FROM THE HEAT, ESPECIALLY AT THIS MILEAGE. THE EGR COOLER CODE SETS WHEN THE ECM DETECTS THE EGR SOLENOID IS OBSTRUCTED BASED ON EGR TEMP READINGS. WE SEE THERE IS A NEWER EGR SOLENOID INSTALLED. WE RECOMMEND REPLACING THE EGR SENSOR. AFTER REPLACING THE SENSOR WE CLEARED THE CODES. ADVISE CUSTOMER IF THE CODE RETURNS WE WILL MOST LIKELY NEED TO REPLACE THE EGR COOLER.
REPLACE EGR TEMPERATURE SENSOR #1.

UPON INSPECTION WE FOUND WE COULD SHIFT ALL GEARS WITH ENGINE OFF AND CLUTCH PEDAL ENGAGED. WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING WE COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. WE REMOVED THE SHIFT TOWER COVER TO INSPECT BUSHINGS, LOOKED GOOD. WE NOTICED THE CLUTCH ENGAGES VERY HIGH AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT DISENGAGE. EVEN WITH THE CLUTCH PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN THE VEHICLE WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD. WE ALSO NOTICED THE CLUTCH FLUID IS VERY DIRTY. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE CLUTCH AND HYDRAULICS. THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER AND THE SLAVE CYLINDER ARE VERY WORN AND THE CLUTCH DISC IS EXTREMELY WORN. THE SHIFTER WILL GET CAUGHT BETWEEN GEARS WHEN THE HYDRAULICS CANNOT DELIVER ENOUGH PRESSURE AND THE CLUTCH DISC BEING SO WORN OUT. RECOMMEND REPLACE THE CLUTCH ASSY AND THE CLUTCH MASTER AND SLAVE CYLINDERS. AFTER REPLACING THE CLUTCH ASSY AND THE MASTER AND SLAVE CYLINDERS WE CHECKED THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION FLUID, FOUND IT ALMOST EMPTY. WE ADDED 2.5 QUARTS OF FLUID AND IT ONLY HOLDS 2.8 QUARTS. WE DO NOT SEE ANY EXTERNAL LEAKS AND NOT SURE WHY IT WAS SO LOW. THE FLUID IS STILL DIRTY AND WE RECOMMEND CHANGING THE FLUID SOONER THAN LATER. WE TEST DROVE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE GEARS TO SHIFT NORMALLY BUT WE DID NOTICE THAT THERE IS A SLIGHT GROWL SOUND IN 5TH GEAR. THIS COULD BE DUE TO A SYNCHRO PROBLEM OR LACK OF FLUID. HAVE CUSTOMER DRIVE FOR A WHILE AND REPORT BACK.
REPLACE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND RESURFACE FLYWHEEL. INCLUDES REPLACE INTERNAL CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER
REPLACE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER

UPON INSPECTION WE SCANNED ABS SYSTEM FOR CODES: C1241 – BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW C1332 – OPEN CIRCUIT IN RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CIRC WE INSPECTED THE RIGHT REAR SENSOR, NO OBVIOUS PROBLEMS. WE OHM TESTED THE SENSOR AND FOUND THE SIGNAL OPEN. WATCHED LIVE DATA ON THE SENSOR WITH SCANNER, SENSOR IS NOT SHOWING ANY OUTPUT. SENSOR IS FAULTY. WE ALSO INSPECTED THE REAR ABS WIRE HARNESS, IT IS IN VERY POOR CONDITION AND THE WIRE INSULATION IS CRACKING AND DRY ROTTED. RECOMMEND REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS AND THE RIGHT REAR SENSOR. ALSO, WE FOUND THE POSITIVE SIDE BATTERY CABLE VERY LOOSE. WE TIGHTENED IT. THIS MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE BATTERY CODE.
WE TEST DROVE VEHICLE AND COULD FEEL A VIBRATION AT CRUISING SPEEDS. THE WHEELS ARE OUT OF BALANCE. RECOMMEND 4-WHEEL WHEEL BALANCE.
DURING TEST DRIVE WE EXPERIENCED SEVERE SHAKING WHILE BRAKING. THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE BADLY WARPED. WE CANNOT TELL IF THE REAR ROTORS ARE WARPED BECAUSE THE FRONTS ARE SO BAD. WE PERFORMED BRAKE INSPECTION, FOUND THE FRONT PADS HAVE LESS THAN 40% REMAINING. REAR BRAKE PADS HAVE LESS THAN 30% REMAINING. RECOMMEND REPLACE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS.
UPON INSPECTION WE FOUND THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE ENGINE TIMING COVER TO HAVE A MINOR OIL LEAK. THE OIL IS SEEPING ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND CAUSING THE SMELL. NO HARM IS BEING DONE TO ENGINE RIGHT NOW IF CUSTOMER WANTS TO WAIT BEFORE REPAIRING. DURING INSPECTIONS WE ALSO NOTICED THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING COOLANT ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK. WE FOUND THE COOLANT ALMOST 1 GALLON LOW. WE ADDED COOLANT TO RADIATOR BUT NOT THE RESERVOIR. RECOMMEND REPLACE THE RADIATOR SOON.
