Advice for stripped threads upstream oxygen sensor exhaust manifold by
Arlen Holder
Car is just bought by a kid just learning to drive (he's 16).
2004 Mitsubishi Lancer ES
Neighbors asked me to teach him how to replace the oxygen sensor (due to
emissions code).
The threads were stripped and "filled" with some kind of hardened "metal
paste".
The new part is a Denso 234-4739...

Paging Daniel Stern - amber turn signals by
y_p_w
Just curious about something.
I've been trying to find a set of replacment amber 7440 bulbs for the
front and rear turn signals on my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX. I don't
need them right now, but I keep several spare bulbs in a kit in my
trunk. Can't seem to find the amber ones in the aftermarket. ...

2012 Camry: Eyesore under the hood by
[email protected]
Recently looked at some 2012 Camrys at a local Toyota dealer and was
somewhat shocked to see that none of the power plants had exhaust
manifold covers. While the average Joe/Jane probably wouldn't notice
anything amiss, this was the first thing I noticed after popping the
hood.
The salesman...

I broke off my Oxygen sensor by
Danny Beardsley
In the process of trying to replace my O2 (Oxygen) sensor on my 1993
honda civic EX, I broke the old one off. I tried some usual stuff,
knocking it with a hammer, liberal WD-40, running the car for a bit to
heat up the manifold. Anyway, TINK! it broke. Any suggestions?
Two pictures of the...

Irrespective of the age, make or model, what are currently your 3
favorite muscle
cars and please separately say why, for each fave one named. You don't
have to
offer only ultra technical-mechanical reasons, but it's fine if that
stuff is mentioned.

AWD car needs a new tire; Replace one or all 4 by
phaeton
Went to Firestone today because I have a slow leak in one of my tires.
The car is a 2002 Subaru Impreza TS with factory spec tires 195/60/R15.
Turns out the slow leak was due to a puncture in the sidewall of the
tire, so that tire is garbage. The tires are all about a year old and
have...

Where are the diesels? by
hobbes
Hi,
After much media coverage that diesels were coming real soon now, the
number of available diesels are not that many. My hunch on why this is
happening is the price of diesel fuel. Where I am in New York, diesel
fuel is priced above Regular Petrol grade by about 60 cents.
So all the cost...

....by mounting or rotating tires? I don't see how, BUT keep reading.
At my last oil change, I got new tires installed on my company car. I
immediately noticed an increase in road noise, but chalked it up to
the different tread of the new tires (Uniroyal Tiger Paw vs. Goodyear
Integrity) and...

sequential rear turn signals by
Nate Nagel[_2_]
It has come to my attention that the 2010 Mustang apparently has
sequential rear turn signals; however, my understanding has always been
that they were prohibited by FMVSS 108 and in fact a quick google turned
up a reference to a "docket 15333" 6/3/03
Sequentially illuminated LED stop and turn...

removal of junk cars - diminishing return by
[email protected]
I'm trying to convince someone to remove four junk automobiles from
their property. Other than anecdotal evidence, are there any
statistics or studies (insurance companies, etc) that show that once a
vehicle has been inoperative for a certain amount of time, the odds
that it will ever be repaired...

Rotors made in China by
Martik
These are priced at 1/4 the cost of US made rotors - $20 vs. $80. They are
for the rear brakes on a Nissan Altima. I've heard quality of Chinese parts
has improved significantly in the last few years. Can anyone confirm this?

Hydrogen car by
Peter
I'm wondering if hydrogen can be used in CNG (compressed natural gas)
fueling systems? CNG systems store the gas in high-pressure tanks; hydrogen
can be stored under the same pressure as well.
If so, hydrogen could potentially be generated in each consumer's home via
electrolysis of water, with...

Real easy to ruin engine thermostat? by
geo pearl
I have a v-6 mitsubishi that burst a hose.
It was brought home and was smoking hot.
After forty minutes of trying,
I can't get any water into the block. All
the engine wants to do is get hot.
Do thermostats get ruined after being subjected
to high heat--no coolant situations?
