Open Question Diagram for the spark plug wire layout for hyundai 2006 3.5 L

Short Version: Is there an easy way for a driver to tell if a supercharger is not working properly? How likely is it that a supercharger problem would not be found by the dealer if one of their vehicles were brought back several times with a complaint of "loss of power"? Full Version: We have...

Greetings, I am doing my first '89 Tempo/Topaz motor mount replacement. It's the one under the battery/airbox on the drivers side. I have removed the rubber part, but cannot get a good grip on the three 13mm bolts that hold the top metal half to the automatic transmission. My tools are all either...

2001 crown vic 4.6...suspect fuel injectors are leaking fuel into the cylinders when sitting. How do i go about checking this problem?

Hi all. I am getting a car ready for a demolition derby. Usually I run something older with a chevy 350, but due to time constraints I am stripping out a 89 mercury Grand Marquis with a 5.0. It runs and drives, so it won't take long to get ready. Anyway, I am having trouble figuring out the easiest...

I have an Isuzu inline single cam 4 banger. A head gasket replacement is in the near future since I seem to have a bit of coolant getting into at least one cylinder. The engine has 187K on it. It has been well maintained by myself since I acquired it around 100K and runs strong with very...

I have been thinking about trading out of my American iron, and going with something more economical. We have long discussed here how Toyota and Honda seem to have the edge on lower priced cars for economy, quality and dependability. But it seems to me that Honda has had its share of...

Hello, I do not know much about cars and need advice. I purchased a 1995 Chevy Lumina 3 years ago. I paid $2500 for it. Since then, I have put about $3000 into it for various repairs. In January, it would not start. I had it towed to the garage. The mechanic said it is leaking oil and...

My ac system started leaking, but no signs of oil could be found. So the NAPA store recommended I try Red Angel ac stop leak. $38. per can. Money back guarantee. I tried it. 24 hours later the gas had leaked out of the system again. Anyone else tried this product? Did it work or not?

The Nissan NV200 has been chosen as the next NYC taxicab. It's a mini-van with a sliding door, on a car frame, and it weighs about 3,000 pounds. I see it listed with a 1.6 108 HP engine and I'll guess the torque at 90 ft/lbs. I see it listed with a 1.5 turbo diesel at 85 HP and 148 ft/lbs of...

A modern vanilla sedan can do 0.9 g, maybe more with good tyres. I saw a video on Youtube of some guy fitting a triangulated 4-link suspension to some chrome-bumper car, and managed to get 0.52 g on cornering, which seems rather poor. Must have had sh*t tyres. Sorry, I haven't been able to find it...

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...

I am considering buying a used odyssey. Any years (2001 and up) to avoid. What should I look for when buying one?

Hi. I remember seeing an ad about a year ago for an inexpensive fiber optic type gadget that allowed you to take pictures of inaccessible places. For example, they showed a picture of one being lowered through a spark plug hole to take digital pictures of the inside of an engine cylinder. I don't...

This pneumatics brad nailer calls for 55-100-psi, the 5G tank supplies 120-psi. The instructions on the side of the tank says, "do not use on pneumatics tools." It didn't say anything about single shot nailers. The laws of physics yet is prove itself. But if anyone see an imminent tank explosion...

As recomended I TDC'd each cylinder(chey 6 cycl.) and tightened out the play on the pushrod, plus about 5/8 rev. on the nut. I rotated the engine by hand and rechecked the play. Most had play again so I repeated the tightening a second time. I spun the engine once more and still had to tighten a...
