How to check for space *before* denting hood? by
micky
I need to put a small accessory under the hood of my car, but fear it
will hit the hood when it's lowered.
How do people decide before deniting the hood if something is too big?
I tried wadded up newspaper, but it just sprang back to the original
wad size.
Thanks

Does tapered cam profile change valve timing with valve lift ??? by
Raj
Ferrari had used the tapered cam profile for varying valve timing. But
valve colse at the same time when they have to. So just valve lift is
varible. But in some articles i have refered it is included in variable
valve timing.
Is it right to include this case in Variable Valve Timing ????

Battery goes flat quickly by
Old Wolf
My car battery seems to go flat quickly. If I do not use my car
for 2 weeks then it will not start. Also, if I leave it with the
tiny map light on, it goes flat overnight (Not even enough juice
left for one crank). What might be causing this?
I can't think of anything that would drain the battery...

RicodJour
I'm not a motor head, I'm just the nut behind the wheel. I find myself
in a discussion about how tail lights and brake lights operate in
respect to one another. A buddy is telling me that the tail lights
shut off when the brake lights come on. I don't believe that since
that would mean if your...

Why would AC only work when foot is on gas? by
David
Our family has two Isuzu Rodeos, a 1995 and a 1997. The AC on the 1995
works great. the 1997 stinks. On the '97 Rodeo when I'm sitting still,
it gets very hot when the car is idling. My first thought is that the
engine is getting so hot, I need to be moving to have the additional
air cooling. ...

I have a booklet that was faxed from Federal-Mogul regarding tuning of
an AFB carburetor; it includes lots of helpful part numbers for things

What is distilled water? by

Eric Fraser wrote:

yes it is distilled. But not very well. if you can get it back into the
air and de-humidified several times, then it will be better distilled.
Which is how a still works sort of.

I noticed when they installed it, they pounded down on the cable ends
