I did a foolish thing yesterday. At 3pm, I turned my minivan on to warm it up as it had been sitting two days, and it is severe cold here in Maine. Well, as I go back in the house my wife says I have leaking water pipes (frozen pipe problem). Well, I then FORGOT that the minivan was on, and I left...

I've just recently acquired a Volkswagen Lupo. I'm having problems with the ventilation fan. Its got four settings numbered 1,2,3,4. However, the fan only comes on full blast when switched to the no. 4 setting. i.e. nothing seems to happen when I put the setting on 1,2,3. Is this normal? Many...

Maybe someone here knows the answers to a couple questions a friend of mine has regarding Chrysler Fuel pumps and his battery. He has what he thinks is a dead fuel pump in his 94 Voyager. So he got a used pump and tested it with 12 volts to see it spin up. He then installed it and it still won't...

Just found that a big leak of coolant located on the firewall side of the engine apartment, it appears in the centre, half way down, but cann't see the exact location from the top, even with a mirror. Will go back to it tonight, but any suggestions are appreciated on the possible cause of...

Wondering if some electronic genius has figured how to combine a fuel consumption sensor with the speedometer cable to produce a instantaneous miles per gallon display for the dashboard and make it available to the motoring...

I'm adjusting the valves on a '79 GMC 250 6cycl. The valves are hydrolic. My last experience adjusting was with mechanical valve

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...

My Van (1993 Astro engine code W 154,000 miles) is failing California's smog requirement. Tested the van on rollers under load and found this: HC's at 15 MPH (1475 RPM): 164 PPM. Allowed: 88 PPM max. It passes in CO% and it passes for NOx (PPM) with flying colors and in the 25 MPH test it passes...

I have an old car with a low speed jet which is probably damaged (Darwin award stuff, so I won't go into how it happened). This is the primary barrel of a twin barrel carby. I am trying to remove the jet and replace it. I can easily unscrew the cover, but I cannot budge the jet screw. It is made...

I just installed a used head on a 6 cyc. I still have to adjust the valves and was thinking I should retorque the head and the manifold while I have the valve cover off (difficult to get to) however my Chilton repair book does not mention retorquing. Also how long should the engine...

My engine has been running rough lately. One possibility I thought could be the injectors. I know it could be a lot of other things. I've heard that most injector cleaners that you add to the gas aren't all that good. I started wondering what is in the stuff. I imagine it's just a solvent...

I have a 93 Grand Prix that the turn signals do not work. The emergency flashers are fine and the blubs are all in working order. The fuse for the turn sugnals is good. Only thing I could think of now is the flasher itself. Before taking all the panels from underneath, any idea it's whereabouts...

I have a 95 Chevy G20 van....350 TBI.... I wanna run duals on it.....can it be done? Do I need a crossover pipe for the O2 sensor ? Better to keep the cat and run 3" pipe straight back? I'd like headers, true duals....2 1/2" pipe straight back w/hi flow turbo mufflers or glass packs.....

Hey all, I'm having trouble putting my 91 mazda protege gt into 3rd gear. All the other gears and reverse work fine, but I find that I really need to push in the stick into third and really push the clutch down until it finally latches. It's just with the 3rd gear. Whenever I try putting it...

I would like to know the following about changing the headlight bulb(s) on a 1992 Toyota Corolla 4-door sedan: 1. Is it one 12Volt H-4 bulb per headlight? 2. Does one need any special tools besides hands, screwdriver and pliers to change the bulb? Thanks.

So....how forgiving is the adjusting on this engine? My book says to just adjust on 1/4 turns waiting to adjust again after each 10 sec. interval and adjust until the clack has stopped? This seems imprecise. Thanks Rojo

So I was having the infamous "window fogs up" problem with my 89 Toyota Camry. As expected coolant was leaking into the heater and I had to have the heater core replaced. About 2 days after getting my car back from the mechanic, the battery died. I was driving and the light flickered once, then 2...
