Sierra :: 87 - When Shut Off It Start Again After 2 Hours When Cold
I have a 350 throttle body injection 3/4 ton 87 Sierra with 107K miles that runs great but when I shut it off it won't start again! Starts right up when it's cold but I have to wait about 2 hours before it will start again once its been started. Turns over just fine. I recently replaced the coil but that didn't do the trick. Is there some kind of sensor or switch that could be heating up?

I went to start my car this morning and it seemed my battery was dead. I then had my car jumped. It started fine, but the trip meter was reset. As i was driving it seemed fine. I then came to a stop at a traffic light and the engine started failing. I parked and the guages started going nuts, the engine was making a high whining noise, it sputtered a bit and then shut off. What is going on? Is it something i can do myself having little experience working on cars?

I have gone through several threads about A/C noise some saying its the compressor - others saying it is normal but I don't remember my A/C having this kind of noise. It doesn't matter what the ambient temperature is but it makes this noise, every time. I uploaded a video to youtube so you can hear it clearly. Any time the A/C button is pressed, the noise is made. The fan can be set to high, turn the A/C off and noise instantly goes away.
Also - A/C still blows cold and my fuel mileage hasn't changed much if any.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Blower Motor Making Noise
My prius that I got about 1 1/2 years ago (2013 model) was making some noise. After conducting a few experiments I came to the conclusion it was the heat that was causing it. I removed the glovebox and lower plastic panel as well to see if it was actually the blower that was making the noise. And it was the blower.
So now it's like 20 degrees outside and I haven't used the heat because I didn't want to blow something so gotta get this fixed ASAP.
Like I mentioned glovebox and lower panel are open I've removed 2 of the 3 screws necessary to remove the blower. So the problem lies with the 3rd screw. There is a plastic socket with wires that is preventing me from reaching the 3rd screw so I have to remove that socket. So I have a couple pictures and how I can remove this so I can access the blower motor.
Also isn't it strange that the car isn't even 3 years old and the blower is giving me problems?

Well the old metal / Aluminum ice trays that we used to make ice cubes in the freazer? My kids said it sounded like the car was singing or playing music?

View 4 RepliesPrius C :: Heavy Metal Clunking Noise After Car Shut Off
We've been happy owners of a 2012 Prius C for about 9 months now. We've recently noticed some type of heavy metal clunking, like something in the engine compartment fell off. This is happening at least 3 times a week and happens at stop lights or even, most recently 3-5 minutes after the car has been shut off. We plan on taking it to the dealer this weekend to check, but know that it will be impossible for them to replicate the noise as it isn't a persistent issue.
View 4 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Noise Coming From Engine Compartment After Shut Off
I started noticing some strange sounds coming from the engine compartment after shutting off the car ( a 2007 with 90K miles). It's different from the hum for several seconds that I often hear after switching off the car. This one is a squeaky rough sound like a small motor wearing out. I think it's from the driver side of the engine compartment. Is that where the inverter pump is? This car didn't have any record of needing the inverter pump changed for the recall as far as I could tell.

View 4 RepliesPrius (Gen 3) :: Brakes Making Squeaking Noise When It Comes To A Stop
I have just purchase a used one 2 weeks ago. I bought it from a local dealer (Longo Toyota). After I got the car home for a day it started to make noises when i brake. If the brake pedal is depress about half way it will make a squeaking noise when it comes to a stop. So i bought the car back in to the dealer and all they did was flush the system and reboted the computer. They said this is normal for some pruis to make a noise when the vehicle comes to a stop and it should not be a safety concern.

I got a Prius c 2015 and when I got the car home (about 13 miles) the gas motor was making a noise when the car was turned off. It lasted about 3 or 4 minutes. Is that normal?

View 4 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Dash Lights Lit Up - Inverter Making Noise
I bought a 2004 that was hit in the front. I have it mostly put back together. However, after doing the major work I wanted to start the vehicle and move it. So I plugged in the main battery plug and re-hooked up the 12V battery. Then the dash lights lit up as well as a bunch of the idiot lights and I could hear the inverter making noise. When I push the power button, nothing.
I am at a loss because when I bought the vehicle it had a broken engine mount. When I was putting the car in neutral it tried to start and I didnt have all the dash lights lit up. Of course I turned it off immediately because of the engine mount. Now I have a bunch of lights on and no start.
