The sound of the blow-off valve, when you let off the gas after the turbo is spooled, is that sound affected by the type of turbo, spool rpms, or the blow-off valve? Thankyou.

It is an 88 gasoline 300E, straight 6 cyl. auto trans, and it is getting more difficult to get into high gear. I sometimes can hit the passing gear and it will upshift, after a surge forward for a few hundred feet, great going then, when it does upshift to high gear. but mostly it likes to run in...

The wiper switch's intermittent mode does not work. It now only works with 2 speeds - fast and faster. Annoying in light rain. My mechanic says he may need to replace either the wiper switch or motor (cost is $164 and 210 for part alone) Another option is to get a second-hand part from a...

Anyone know of a uk car the I'm likely to find in the scrap yard that will yield an inline electronic fuel pump that's easy to get to. I need one for a project I'm working on, one that's good for about 150bhp or there abouts. Cheers Rich

My service manual says to replace plugs if the electrodes are rounded. Instead, I filed them down with a diamond disc and they're as good as new. I also filed down the platinum electrode spark plugs which seems to make no visible difference. What is the difference between a filed down electrode and...

The shop manual for our 2000 Accord 4 cyl shows a block coolant drain plug under and to the left (facing toward) of the oil filter. But the only plugs I see are the engine oil drain plug, and a 10mm allen head bolt directly under the filter. Could it be the allen head bolt, or do some Accords...

Hi Group. I cannot find the turn signal flasher on a 94 Cavalier. Chilton says it's next to the steering column bracket on the left side by the gauges. I can't find it. It's driving me nuts. Please help. John Y.

Thanks for the responses. Turns out it was the water pump, and per the dealer, looks like it was due to corrosion from using the wrong coolant. Car was a company car prior to my purchase and was maintained soley at a Firestone. Waiting to hear from them regarding the fact that they used the...

Hi all, I have a couple of quick questions, can you help? When I recently had my timing belt changed on my 1996 Toyota Starlet Sportif, the mechanic said that the bottom pulley was also extremely worn and needed replacing. I had this confirmed by my local Toyota garage as well. It's scheduled...
