Hi all: Just wondering if Techron is worth using to clear up EGR valve carboned up

I've got a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7L 8 CYL SOHC MPI 4 DR. WAGON/SPORT UTILITY. The AC seems to be working fine, but the fans aren't coming on so the cold air isn't blowing out. I had somebody work on the AC before and I think they messed up the wire harness that is below the dash...

www.popularmechanics.com Harley Davidson wants to take over Ducati. Ducati builds some very nice motorcycles, with that desmodromic valve system.

Ok, so disassembling everything for my head gasket replacement WAS going well, in fact all too well, so fate had to do something drastic. Got everything off except the intake manifold and cam sprocket. I go to slack the timing belt, and the bolt head on the tensioner is COMPLETELY messed up. It...

I will try and keep this simple, as I have seen some similar post, but I had a few specific Questions. here are the details before the questions I have an 01 honda crv, I Put new tires on It at around 59k approximately 2 or 3 days after purchacing it. I got a good deal on micheline hydroedge at...

We bought this 98 Odyssey with 2.3 litre VTEC used last year and added about 20,000 kilometers to it and she now has about 166,000 with a recent timing belt change at our local Honda dealer last week. I believe that the switch fits all previous generation Accords 1998-2003. I asked them to test...

My speedometer/odometer (Electronic Dash) went out and now the transmission shifts hard. I narrowed it down to the vehicle speed sensor, but I can't find it. There is a sensor on the rear differential, but it completely different from the new VSS I have in my hand. I assume it is an ABS sensor. I...

I have been struggling with an overheating problem with my 96 Sentra with 1.6 liter engine. It has 120 k miles and has been a reliable and well running automobile, until this problem. I have been doing quite a few things to isolate the problem including having radiator checked out at a shop,...

Hello, Living in NW Chicago suburbs, I notice that in the recent years the traffic lights seem to begin working in a mode that I would call "red wave", contrary to the "green wave" system that ensures green light on all intersections to a vehicle that moves along the street with the right...

I owned my Honda Accord for over 12 years. 3 of these years, I was caught off guard when my AC system was less than adequate when the summer months hit. The best example was when I was driving to Las Vegas in 116 degree weather and discovered the hard way that my AC was'nt up to the job. One year...

Hi, Output speed sensor on my 1999 Chrysler Town & Country minivan failed. I'm thinking of replacing this part myself. Can anybody recommend what would be the best place to buy it? Is NAPA auto-parts store a good idea? Thanks, IP.

I'm on the road quite often because of my job. Lately I was in the Easley, SC area. My car needed an oil change and there was a shop close to where I was working so I decided to go there. Wow! What a service. That is the best I ever had. I was shocked since all the technician are female. They are...

Hi, I bled the brakes in my 2002 Alero yesterday, for what I plan is the only time. I'd like to know the bleeding process I'll have to follow, now that I have to replace one bleeder screw. Two of the bleeder screws were rounded in the process. I used a flare nut wrench specifically designed for...

No, not you guys in rec... 1988 Supra, 7M-GE. I got it with ~177,000 (the speedo's busted, SURPRISE!) and have put 10-15,000 miles a year on it for 5 years. So we're looking at ~230,000 miles. When I got it the oil pressure was on the low side, and it has been getting lower and lower. It's a...

Hi guys. I am new to the country, I used to live in Europe. I have bought a Toyota FJ Cruiser and I will be doing part of the maintainence on my own. For example I will be mounting rock sliders, rotate the tires, change oil and that kind of stuff. I want to buy a "click" torque wrench to perform...

Slow city driving in the rain today when, with no warning or mishap, the "Service Engine Soon" light came on. No symptoms, car runs fine. Tried the ignition key on-off-on-off-on trick and got the "Service Engine Soon" light to blink out codes: 12 43 55. Alpar.com interprets this as two codes, 12...

Hi Everyone, I've had a problem for the past 3 years and it's gotten worse as the time has gone on. It's a 1997 Buick Riviera 3.8 supercharged engine. Two problems are it will just stall while sitting at a red light (sometimes it catches itself though) and second, at around 160 degrees the car...

Can't seem to keep my 2001 Cadillac DeVille from stalling. Starts every time, but starts stalling after running for 10-30 minutes, then stalls more frequently when the engine is warmed up. Had car towed to GMC Dealer. Dealer experienced same problem - stalled when moving it from their service lot...

My question is pretty much summarized in the subject line. So, you drop off your car at a tire shop for wheel alignment. How do you know they really performed the service? They may have not even touched your car, then gave you some bogus alignment reading printout. 1-2 weeks later the tires are...
