Confirmed the customer's complaint and found the engine did not start. Performed a visual inspection of the battery and battery terminals, but found no obvious faults. Used a multi-meter to measure the voltage across the battery terminals and found the measured voltage was within the specified range of 12.4-12.6 Volts. Used a battery conductance tester to test the battery and found the battery was able to conduct the specified amount of current, which verified it operated properly. Used the multi-meter to test for battery voltage and ground at the starter motor and found both the specified 12 Volts and ground were present. Used the multi-meter to test for voltage at the starter motor solenoid terminal while switching the ignition to the start position, and found 12 Volts was present. These test results verified the starter motor was faulty.
REMOVE AND REPLACE STARTER MOTOR. REMOVED NECESSARY COMPONENTS TO GAIN ACCESS TO STARTER ASSEMBLY. DISCONNECTED BATTERY AS REQUIRED AND REMOVED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FROM STARTER MOTOR. REMOVED FAILED / INOPERATIVE STARTER MOTOR AND INSPECTED RELATED WIRING, CONNECTIONS, AND MOUNTING SURFACES FOR DAMAGE OR EXCESSIVE CORROSION. INSTALLED NEW STARTER MOTOR AND SECURED ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. RECONNECTED ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND VERIFIED PROPER FITMENT. REASSEMBLED ALL REMOVED COMPONENTS, RECONNECTED BATTERY, AND TESTED STARTING SYSTEM TO CONFIRM PROPER ENGINE CRANKING AND NORMAL START-UP OPERATION.

WELD THE LEFT REAR SHOCK MOUNT AT THE TOP OF THE COMPLETE SHOCK. ENSURE THE AREA IS PROPERLY PREPARED AND CLEANED BEFORE WELDING, PERFORM THE WELD TO RESTORE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY, AND VERIFY THAT THE REPAIR IS SECURE AND ALIGNED FOR PROPER INSTALLATION ON THE VEHICLE.
INSTALL THE LEFT REAR SHOCK INTO ITS MOUNTING LOCATION. CUSTOMER PROVIDED TWO OF THE UPPER MOUNTING BOLTS; HOWEVER, THE LOWER MOUNTING BOLT WAS MISSING AND HAD TO BE SOURCED AND INSTALLED. SECURE ALL FASTENERS TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS AND MAKE ALL NECESSARY ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENTS TO ENSURE PROPER FITMENT AND OPERATION. VERIFY THAT THE SHOCK FUNCTIONS CORRECTLY AND THAT THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ARE SECURE BEFORE COMPLETING THE REPAIR.

CUSTOMER REPORTED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START, CRANKING BUT NOT TURNING OVER. UPON INSPECTION, THE VEHICLE STARTED SUCCESSFULLY EVERY TIME DURING TESTING. A PENDING CODE FOR CYLINDER 4 (P0304) WAS PRESENT, INDICATING A POSSIBLE MISFIRE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING A MISFIRE AT THE TIME. DURING TESTING, ERRATIC BEHAVIOR WAS NOTED FROM THE IGNITION COIL. AS A PRECAUTION, THE IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG WERE REPLACED WITH USED PARTS AVAILABLE AT THE SHOP. FOLLOW-UP TESTING SHOWED NO ISSUES AFTER THIS SERVICE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE IDLE DROPPED IMMEDIATELY, CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUT OFF. BASED ON THE SYMPTOMS, THE THROTTLE BODY IS SUSPECTED TO NEED CLEANING. ADDITIONALLY, THE PCV VALVE WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE IN POOR CONDITION AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT.
REMOVE AND REPLACE PCV VALVE. THE PCV VALVE WAS PULLING ENGINE OIL, CAUSING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL TO DROP, AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO PREVENT FURTHER OIL LOSS AND POTENTIAL ENGINE DAMAGE.
DUE TO THE BAD PCV VALVE, THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT BUILD-UP OF OIL AND DEPOSITS IN THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH CAN AFFECT ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND IDLE. REMOVED AND THOROUGHLY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY TO RESTORE PROPER AIRFLOW AND ENSURE SMOOTH ENGINE OPERATION.

Confirmed the customer’s concern regarding coolant leakage from the top of the engine. Performed a visual inspection of the cooling system and topped off the coolant to proper levels. A cooling system pressure test was performed using a pressure tester, and it was noted that the system failed to retain pressure. Upon further inspection, external signs of coolant leakage were observed near the radiator area. All other fluid levels were also checked and verified to be at proper levels. After the initial inspection, the engine was started to observe operating conditions under normal temperature. During this process, radiator fluid was observed forcefully bursting out from the top of the radiator, which is a strong indication of combustion gases entering the cooling system. This, along with the distinct burnt odor coming from the expelled coolant, points to an internal engine issue—most likely a blown cylinder head gasket or damage to the cylinder head itself. Based on the combination of pressure loss, coolant expulsion, combustion intrusion, and the burnt smell, it was determined that the issue is internal to the cylinder head and requires further engine disassembly to confirm the full extent of the damage.
