Engine Misfire Diagnosis & Repair!

U Joints are essential for the proper transfer of power to the wheel on any rear wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicle. In this case, due to wear and tear over the years, the u-joint connecting the front end of the driveshaft on this Mercedes-Benz sedan had broken off, resulting in the vehicle’s inability to move under its own power. It is important to regularly inspect and grease u joints on vehicles equipped with them and replace as necessary. The last thing you need is to be stuck on the side of the road and potentially damaging other components!

A timing chain (or belt in some cases) is essential for the proper function of your vehicle’s engine as it keeps the engine’s mechanical components synchronized and operating together. A lack of oil changes, inproper lubrication, constant high load on the engine and harsh driving climates can cause the engine’s timing chain to stretch as it did on this Ford F-150 and can lead to misfires, loud slapping/chattering noises coming from the engine and decreased performance.

Whether it’s preventative maintenance or a timing chain replacement, A.C. Automotive has you covered!
