Specs: 1998 ford explorer, 4.0, SOHC, and a really frustrated driver! Is there any way to get this plug wire off without ripping it out. I can touch it, but do not have the leverage needed to remove the stuck boot. It doesn't appear that there is anything capable of being removed that will allow...

I am looking for a good reliable used one that I can sometimes get the family in is a 4x4 and not too hard on mileage. I plan to drive whatever I get for the next 10 years or more. I drove and feel in love with a 2000 Jeep Grand Cerokee. Are these any good? Is there a difference between the 6 and 8...

My wife has a base model 2004 Cavalier. She wants cruise added to it. The dealer did a terrible job of installing an aftermarket cruise and I had them remove it. Now, I've pulled all of the parts including the harness from a wrecked 2003 Cavalier with a manual transmission and installed it on her...

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the 4A- series of engines (SOHC 8V) found in Corollas from 83(?) - 91 and Novas. I've been told that its an iron horse from one mech and that its a piece of crap from another.

I got my 96 S10 apart finally that i posted about before. It was turning over funny after it flat died, so i thought i had timing chain problems. The front of the motor came apart OK until i go to the crank pulley holder. It took a LONG time with help to get it to creep off. i don't know if it...

I have a 1998 Windstar, 3.8 L engine, with front and rear heat/air conditioning. Last week as I am driving the car, one minute I have heat. The next minute no heat at all, just fans blowing cold air out of both the front and back systems. I haven't taken the dash apart to take a look, but I am...

OK< OK I know I bug, but one more question?! The other day it was realy nice & sunny & kind of warm and I went to wash my car and I sprayed the waterhose on it to wet it down, and after I washed it and everything I noticed a crazk in the front window over the drivers side & half of the passengers...

Specs: 1998 ford explorer, 4.0, SOHC I notice this noise slightly all the time. There is a slight hiss, but I'm unable to determine the source. It becomes much more noticable when I change the position (accelerate or decelerate) of the gas pedal on a smooth section of hi-way. It also does the same...

Hi all! Yes, another lurker posting in this group. :-) I recently purchased a 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with 90,000 miles on it. want to start off on the right foot, so I was wondering what I should initially do? Oil Change? Transmission fluid? Tune-Up? Your help is much appreciated!

I changed my air filter, when I went to start the car it started for about 3 seconds over revving about 500 rpm then quits. Any ideas ? Thanks

It's a ragtop, coulda rained at one point in it's career while the top was down. As long as there is no serious rust anywhere else on the car I wouldn't get excited. Seems there should be at least a coat of paint on the pedals to prevent such a situation. Is it rusted thru the paint or are they...

Jag XK8 / XKR I've been looking at used cars again. I can get a 00 to 02 XK8 or XKR for ~$25k with 35k miles. All my cars have lasted 10 years or 225k miles before trade in. Any thoughts on the Jag? Future parts availability? Reliability? Or would I be better off with an 03/04 Infinity G-35 sport...

I have a 1987 chevy caprice. Recently i gave it a fresh tune-up, new carburator, new module that goes underneath the distributor cap and rotor, and a new electrical fuel pump. The car still does the same thing. I go at a steady speed and when i decide to accelerate it more it stalls for about 3...

I posted a couple-few weeks ago about my '82 Mazda 626 having intermittent issues with losing power under load - At that time, figured that the trouble was related to a dead or dying Alternator not putting enough juice to the battery, and therefore interfering with spark - Seemed to make sense,...

I have a '93 camry v6 that has a check engine light. When I go through the procedure to get the computer code, it gives me one not listed in the book! I get a 28. The last code in the group listed in the Haynes manual is 27. Most of the 20s list problems with the oxygen sensors. This car must...

Took me a while to find the pcv valve... In a tight little space under the intake manifold. How do folks get this item out of there? Can I just grab it with some long handle pliers and wiggle it out? I ask because I don't want to break anything more than I have already done trying go get to...
