1991 Old Cutlass Cierra, engine stall by
Tom
Bought from my Dad low mileage, however notice when warmed up, that the
engine will try to stall if you slow down too fast. The X-mission acts like
it does not shift down. After sitting a while (cool down) works o.k. Last
time we worked on this, we replaced the computer. Fixed issue for 2...

Battery Running Down, But "Everything" Off by
Robert11
Hello:
Have a '84 Toyota Cressida Waggon as sort of a backup car.
Hardly ever used.
Put in a brand new battery, and find it runs down after about a week or two
just sitting around. Also have a new alternator.
Had the battery recharged, and find the same thing still happening.

Illustrated Centurion)..
This requires a 4 spd w/overdrive (one place it mentions a 5 spd

Cover your car? by
[email protected]
I was wondering if covering my new Nissan Altima 2005 would help
preserve the value for resale in about 3 years time? I live in the
Charleston Area and the weather elements can be pretty harsh to that
beautiful silver paint on my car.
I stumbled across...

"So, Barbara," I said. "Who did you get to replace me?"
"Tom Stein?" he said.
"Carl," I said.
"You would think these things would be roomier in the front," Joshua said. "
But they're not. I spent the last hour squashed down in the footwell. The wo

can I do this??? or do I need another mortgage by
Chris
I'm pretty sure I need to change the gearbox on a Skoda Felicia estate 1.6.
Its making a horrible grinding noise which goes away when I press the
clutch, it isn't the cv joints (I've checked that) the loud click happens
about 2 times every second, and if I raise the front of the car off the

head success by
Ryan Underwood
Well, it looks like the head replacement was a success. No external leaks and
the oil and water are staying segregated and at a full level. Temp is normal
@80mph and oil light turns off immediately after starting. This is after a
long highway drive and many short drives.
The most satisfying...

Dealer left out 3 quart of oil - advice? by
[email protected]
Hi-
The local Dodge dealer changed the oil on my Grand Caravan and only
added 2 quarts of oil. That was 2 weeks and 400 miles ago.
I discovered the shortage last weekend when my wife complained of a
squealing sound at startup. I started the van and the squeal was far
too metallic to be a belt,...

1981 Cutlass Cierra Olds by
Tom
Have you heard about the computer problem in this car? 2 years ago we
replaced and it fixed the issue with thought. Problem is back.
Engine is chugging. Acts like x-mission will not shift down when you are
slowing down. Always happens when hot.
Thanks,
Tom

It's finally time to replace my rotors. I have avoided it for quite a while
b/c i recall a while back when i first looked into it, I believe they are
part of a whole hub assembly, not just a typical slide-off rotor. I have

Craftsman electric impact? by

Well, I decided it was time to pick up an electric impact at least since it

Problem with Blower Control on 2002 Sebring. by
Scott_SS
I am having a bit of trouble with my 2002 Sebring, which is just fresh out
of warranty, of course. :-)
The blower control seems to be the symptom, but apparently not the cause of
my issue. When the blower is set to full-on (position 4), all climate
controls work normally albeit at maximum output....
