What happens if you have a bad oil pump? Even if you’re able to get it up and running, a bad oil pump isn’t going to create the kind of pressure you’ll need to get engine oil to all the various parts of your engine. You’ll be putting your engine into harm’s way if you attempt to drive it with low oil pressure. What causes a centrifugal pump to run out of oil? Pumps using oil rings can suffer the following lubrication problems: 1 Slow ring rotation and insufficient lubrication from too high of an oil level 2 Bouncing on...

What happens when the IAT sensor goes bad? For instance, if the sensor detects that the air being sucked into the engine is warmer, since the air is less dense the engine will need less fuel for proper combustion. When the IAT sensor begins to fail, one can imagine that it will cause significant changes in performance. What are the different names for IAT sensors? IAT sensors are known by various names depending on the manufacturer. Those from General Motors are called manifold air temperature (MAT) sensors, while those from Ford are called either vane air temperature (VAT), air charge...

Where is the voltage regulator in a 1985 Chrysler P body? NOTE: In 1985 and later vehicles, the voltage regulator is controlled by BOTH the Logic and Power modules. In many vehicles, the voltage regulator is in the alternator. • Verify model year of vehicle electronics: Some 1987 P-bodies with turbocharged engines were built with 1986 logic modules.
