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,...

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, 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.

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 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...

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...

I have a 1988 Crown Victoria with a 5.0 engine--with 110,000 miles on it. A few days ago when I stopped the car wouldn't go into reverse. After a while of shifting through gears, shutting the car off, restarting reverse suddenly started working again. I drove it 20 miles to my mechanic. He found...

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...

Ah, for the good old days when all my keys would fit in a keycase. I had found that leaving keys loose in my pocket wore holes in the pockets, so long used a key case. The keys for my last two cars are electronic, and WAY to big to fit in a key case. My Prius key is all-electronic (no...

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 - I own a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara (and have owned it for over two years). Recently, it has started to emit a really bad burning smell immediately after riding the clutch a bit (like when I am pulling out of a parallel parking spot on a hill). My car NEVER did this before and just starting...

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...

I have a 1989 GMC C1500 350 TBI. Has new distrubitor. Also has msd a6L. i was driving on highway about 60 mph for about 20 minutes, stopped at driveway and truck died. I seen smoke coming from under hood. I opened the hoood and the distruibutor cap was on fire. It was an accel cap and rotor. I dont...

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...

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...

Hello, I'm in the market for a used car and today I looked at a very nice '92 BMW 535. However, when the owner showed me the papers from the last safety inspection I noticed the car was very close to failing emissions. It had a HC reading of 98 PPM, with max allowed being 100 it was only *two* PPM...

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...
