I need to install a multi-function or "Combination switch" for the the wipers/turn signal etc. on my 98 GMC 1500 Pickup. I have had several friends tell me that I don't need to try this my self because of removing the airbag etc. The switch itself doesn't look too bad. Any suggestions about...

Does anyone out there have a service manual for the Pontiac Acadian (1978)? Ken

I have a 1988 Nissan 2WD 2.4L truck with the master clutch cylinder leaking. Can the clutch master cylinder be rebuilt? Are there kits available and how difficult is it? Would I be better off to just replace the master cylinder with a new one? What's a good brand? All recommendations are...

a few months ago i switched out the entire front brake system- heavily scored discs, beat pads, and frozen calipers were replaced with cheap autozone discs and pads, and rebuilt calipers. now, if i dont drive every day, the disc surfaces rust visibly, and make an obvious grinding noise the first...

I have a 98 4runner limited and I am having the exact same hesitation you are talking about. I can rev the engine from the engine compartment and there is almost a sec delay before the engine revs. Also there are times during acceleration the engine runs smooth and then sometimes it sputters. I am...

Arggg I'm so flustrated...... Car: 92 Buick Century, V6, 3.3L, 161K miles Problem: Stalls intermittently, no stumble prior, it just stops. Like the key was turned off. No codes are stored. All the warning lights come on when it stops. Usually it will restart fine. Sometimes it well restart...

I considering to resell a 2003 CHRYSLER Sebring purchased from a Manitoba insurance company for $3800CAD. It was a write-off due to some electrical system problem after the trunk portion was lowered into a lake and has been repaired. There is no visible damage to the car which only has 20k kms....

Hi, I have a 93 Chevy Lumina Euro... it is the W Frame car (like the olds, and about 3 others) I have the 3.1, and it has the type of cooling system where it uses the 2 electric fans. When crusing, most of the time, the car runs right where it's supposed to, at 180-190 degrees... but at slower...

My 1997 Sable has a wierd problem. MIL light On, The only Code P0340 stored scanned at autozone. Problem Intermitant no shift out of 1st, and no overdrive. I understand how the ECM not understanding or getting RPM info could cause shifting issues, I would think if I had Transmission solenoid...

What are the commercially available mechanisms/devices that would allow creation of very high levels of hydraulic pressure by human movement? Bicycle type of mechanism is preferred. I'm already familiar with the Enerpac product line. Anything goes to higher levels?

I posted earlier on 1997 Sable Cam sensor Thanks to all in the group. My issue is a very intermitant no shift out of first and no over drive. I live in Reno Nevada and wonder if the ford dealer or a local tranny shop would be better for cost and ability to fix this rather funky issue. I thought...

I would appreciate some ideas of what my truck's problem might be. It runs great when starting up and runs fine for the first mile, but then it starts to bog down and miss. If you pump the gas pedal/goose it a little bit it jumps like it wants to run, but it doesn't sustain it. It's an 83...

car is 94 accord. automatic trans. This could be a problem, but need your input. Problem: After I move the gear lever from Drive to Park, it takes about 4 seconds later that I can hear a loud click sound coming from the gear lever. It sounds as if the gear isn't locking or something until 4 ...

I've got a 99 Nissan Altima with an odd sound to it while accelerating. It's a regular thrumming, sort of "fluttery" sound. My 94 has a very similar sound as well, but a bit more harsh I think (due to less sound deadening maybe), so it could very well be normal. I'd really like to know what...

The hood on my '99 Subaru Legacy won't close tight. You can't open it without moving the release tab on the hood, but it won't "lock down". Driving at 60mph on the hghwy, it bounces up and down a bit. Is there any danger of it coming loose and flying open? Thanks

Without turning the engine on, I put it in reverse (it's an automatic) and rolled down the driveway a bit to... I really can't remember. It is probably a REALLY stupid thing to do. Ever since then my car can barely start (it acts like the idle is really low,) but adjusting the idle doesn't seem to...

The day after I took my 1998 Olds Delta 88 in to a local metro Atlanta ( Buick/Pontiac/GM dealer for the fuel rail / regulator recall in my check engine light came on . I had it scanned and got the Code P0171 ( The fuel system of bank 1 was too lean "). Was this jut a co-incidence and not related...
