2003 Saturn Vue 2.2 liter. Why is it stalling and the codes are P0340 and P1599. The car doesn't have a camshaft position sensor?
Circuit Description
This ignition system does not use a conventional camshaft position (CMP) sensor that detects valve train position. The ignition control module (ICM) detects when #1 or #3 cylinder has fired on its compression stroke using sensing circuitry integrated within each coil. The sensing circuit detects the polarity and the strength of the secondary voltage output, the higher output is always at the event cylinder. The ICM sends a CMP signal to the engine control module (ECM) based on the voltage difference between the event and waste cylinder firing energy. This system is called compression sense ignition. By monitoring the CMP and crankshaft position (CKP) signals, the ECM can accurately time the operation of the fuel injectors. If the ECM receives an intermittent CMP signal from the ICM, the CMP Resync Counter on the scan tool will increment. When the ECM cannot use the information from the CMP signal, DTC P0340 will set.
Diagnostic Aids
• The following conditions may cause this DTC to set:
- Low resistance in both the #1 and #3 secondary ignition circuits
- High resistance in both the #4 and #2 secondary ignition circuits
- An intermittent crank signal
• An Intermittent crank signal will result in an interrupted cam signal and may set this DTC.
• To locate an intermittent problem, monitor the CMP Active Counter parameter while running the engine with a scan tool. The counter should continuously count up to 255, then reset to zero. The counter will stop counting if a fault occurs in the cam signal circuit.
If this DTC is determined to be intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions .
How do I change the voltage regulator on a 2005 r1200 cl boxer
Swapping the voltage regulator on a motorcycle can be tricky, especially on R1200 CL Boxer. Here's the thing: It involves electrical work, and that can get risky if not done carefully. There's a chance of getting shocked or messing up the wiring. The regulator connects to a bunch of wires and parts, so you need to know how to take things apart and put them back together right. If you're handy and have a repair manual for your bike, you might be able to tackle it yourself. But if you're not super comfortable with electrical systems, it's best to leave it to a pro. A qualified mechanic will have the experience and tools to get the job done safely and make sure your bike keeps running smoothly.

2006 Nissan Xterra Security Issue
Is the security light lit up on the dash at all?What happens if you try to start the vehicle without unlocking the driver door with the key?Lastly, have you ever replaced the battery on your key fob? When their batteries get low, they can cause various problems that resemble mechanical faults or security problems.
2012 Ford Ranger 6 speed manual has been fixed from limp mode and recently on highway it has come back!! 3 grand later I just don't no what to do now??
Question edited for clarity and into written English.
Yes you were taken advantage of. As my old dad used to say "they saw you coming". Better to have a mature man take your vehicle for service.
Fuel pumps either work or they don't. You test them for pressure.
Very unlikely the Glow plugs were anything to do with anything as they only aid starting by heating the diesel fuel when the engine is cold.
Changing the head gasket is pretty laughable. Did they do a pressure test, and a leak down test? That is how you test. You can also test coolant for combustion fumes.
You needed an auto electrician in the first place, not someone guessing with your money.
Limp Mode only becomes active if a sensor fails and that sensor failing could cause catastrophic failure to the engine with it not working.
You need an auto electrician with a professional grade scan tool computer. They can clear the code, take your car on the highway and record EXACTLY what happens when the truck goes into Limp Mode.

1992 Dodge Caravan. I have a sound like a shock absorber which occurs when I turn left?
Shock Absorbers are easy to test. Put your hand on the front of the vehicle on each side and press down and up hard and see if the body bounces. It should be hard to press down and come back up slowly and controlled.
It could also be the springs, the upper mounting rusted away, worn ball joints, steering tie rod joints or CV Axle universal joints. All those need testing professionally on a lift.
It is 32 years old after all.

My partners 2009 Nissan Navara wont start. It makes a clicking sound but just wont start. It also has recently started overheating.
The car does have alot of km's 399,000km's.
If the battery is OK the next thing to check is the starter motor itself. It usually shows as a single click or lots of fast clicks?
For the overheating, how long after you start the engine does it start to overheat? If it takes a while, usually as the engine starts to get up to working temperature, the first thing to check is the thermostat. This is the most common thing to fail especially on higher mileage engines. Do this first as it's the cheapest fix.
Next check the serpentine/Auxillary belt. A worn or damaged belt can slip slowing the pump down. This can also show as battery charging issues.
Another cause of overheating is the waterpump failing. This can commonly be heard as a whine, chirp, or a squealing noise especially on a cold start. It can also often, but not always, be see below the pump as staining from it leaking.
Mazda etude model 2002 petrol filter location
There are two likely places. One will be under the car, on or near the fuel tank. The other location will be on the body panel at the back of the engine bay, (Firewall/Bulkhead). It is an 'Inline' filter so it commonly looks like a metal can with a pipe going into the top and bottom.
Buy the replacement filter first then you will know what the filter looks like when your looking for it.

ECM warning 56 iveco stalis
When the ECM warning light comes on on your Iveco vehicle, the engine usually slows down strongly to a very low speed: in most cases this is due to a problem with the urea pump - adblue, failing to circulate this additive.Click here to know more scegliauto
