Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Passenger Door Will Not Catch And Close
The passenger door doesn't always want to close? It's being very finicky. Basically, every so often (with no regularity) it seems as though the door won't "catch" and close. If I pull but the interior handle, and/or exterior handle a few times it eventually gets there.
Like (probably most of you) I replaced the actuator, and even had to replace the window motor on this side, so I'm intimately familiar with the inner workings of these doors, and how everything has to be taken apart to do any work with them.
It's pretty annoying, and I'm worried the thing could just fly open while I'm on the road.
Ford - Taurus :: 2006 SE Would Turn Over But Engine Won't Catch
I have a 2006 Ford Taurus SE. Tried to start the car, it would turn over, but would not catch. I shut it off and tried again and it started right up. Is this a sign of trouble and needs something?
View 10 RepliesAccent MC (2006-11) :: When Turned The Ignition On It Sounded Like Starting But Didn't Catch
I have a 2008 Accent, automatic, with 167,000 mostly city kilometers on it. 3 times, yesterday and today, when I turned the ignition on it sounded like it was going to start but didn't catch. When I tried again the second time it started. At first, I thought I just didn't turn the key to the right long enough but with it happening 3 times, I am not so sure.
I called my mechanic and he thought it might be the fuel pump. He suggested I turn it to the right then back 2 times, then start it the third time. I have spent a lot on it lately, new tires in April, transmission fluid, also had to replace the tie rod on one front wheel and bearings on the other. If it is the fuel pump, what happens if I don't replace it soon?

View 1 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Car Is Trying To Catch Up With The Engine
2003 Jetta GLS 1.8T with the 5-speed transmission. The car is fine when it's driven conservatively. but when I try to get on it or pass in traffic, it feels as if the car is trying to catch up with the engine. Press the gas, the RPM spikes, the car slowly gets up to speed and the RPM drops back down to a normal level.
For example, on the highway the car usually sits at 3000 RPM @ 70 MPH. If I want to get it up to 80, the RPMs jump to 4500, the car gets up to 80 and the RPMs drop back down to 3100.
Some days it's pretty bad, other days it's fine. My guess is that the transmission is slipping, the clutch is going or the turbo is bad.
Saab - 9-3 :: Chugs When Trying To Start But Won't Catch
My 2001 Saab 9-3 (manual) won't start. It chugs and chugs and chugs but it won't catch. We've figured out that it isn't the fuel pump, but nobody can figure out why it won't start.

So I have a 2011 Toyota Camry and the other night I filled up on gas and when I tried to start the car it would start. It just made a grumbling noise and sounded like it was trying to start but couldn't. I got it to start after flooding it and now I have to flood it every time I try to start my car. I don't know what's wrong. Should I take it to a mechanics?
View 4 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2002 - Trunk Latch Will Not Catch
My trunk latch will not catch. It will close and stay closed, but when driving it trips the sensor that it's open. The Car will not alarm unless I push down on the trunk, but if a car drives by it trips the alarm.
I have removed the liner to expose the latch assembly, but can't find anything broken. Have been unable to remove the hard plastic surrounding the latch itself.

View 10 RepliesLumina :: No Start - Turned Over Engine Will Chug But Won't Catch
I have a 99 Lumina 3.1l. I live in a cold climate (-15f). I hadn't driven the car in 2 months, and the block heater doesn't work as there is a short somewhere.
I want to get the car on the road again and before insuring it I tried to start it Friday. To its credit it started up almost right away - its always been great in the cold. I let it run for 30 minutes to heat everything up.
I insured it Saturday and went to start it and won't go. Turned over & over & over, and the engine will chug every now and then but won't catch. Its a few degrees colder than it was Friday, but not by much.
It did have just under a quarter tank of gas, so I'm wondering if it could be condensation in the fuel system somewhere that was sucked in while idling on Friday? If so I don't really know what to do about that. Or could there are other things to check/try.
I'm replacing the plug on the block heater, but don't think thats the short. I was going to drive it to the garage to have them replace the cord (as I doubt its the block heater itself) but have to get it started to do that
Passat (B5) :: Engine Shaking Like It Needs To Catch A Second Before Starting Fully
When I start my 2001 passat 1.8T 155,000+, my car shakes like it feels like it needs to catch a second before starting fully, and when it does fully start it gives a good kick but then stops, just curious of what it could be and what it could run me, but its not the battery I know that?

My daughter has a 03 Accent that within the past week will not start at certain times. Some times it will some times it wont. It always cranks but doesn't catch. If she tries to start the car and it cranks, but doesn't catch, if you wait 15 -20 minutes, or longer, it will turn over and run fine. We are thinking crank position sensor or possibly fuel pump...

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Wire Trying To Catch Fire When Starting
My wife owns a 2004 hyundai santa fe, and recently i replaced the belt and idle pulley, I've worked on a few cars in my life and understand the basics and some on how to work on a car.But this has me baffled, the other day i decided to take her car to work. She warned me it had a a slow turn over sometimes i told her okay and headed off to work, drove fine to work no start up issue, but then i went to lunch and it had a slow start like she said. Then in the afternoon started just fine for the drive home to work. I stopped at a gas station to put a little fuel in and the car wouldn't start, it would just release a small cloud of smoke from where the the starter was, so i said ah loose starter wire. That however isn't the case, pulled the plastic shield from the bottom off abd the heat shield off the starter just to find nothing was wrong with either instead its the wire above that running from the wiring harness to the motor, how to fix this issue? Ive attached a few photos

View 6 RepliesSubaru - Forester :: Stall And Then Catch Itself At A Long Light
Car: 2010 Forester
Situation: Occasionally (3x a week or so) the car when recently started will, at a long light, start to stall and then catch itself. The last time rpms got so low the dashboard lights lit up for a fraction of a second before the engine caught itself and revved up to a normal 650-750 rpm.
I have taken to the dealer 3 times; one time they kept it for 3 days, they can't reproduce it. Took it home and the next day the gremlin was back.
