Two years ago, I got a ticket from NJ state troopers for pulling over on the freeway (because my oil light was flickering). The trooper asked me to start my car and he didn't see the oil light on (it was intermittent). Anyway, I never answered the ticket as I was due back home in California...

I've got what could possibly be a genius idea, or really retarded. I would like to add a relay harness and E-code lights to a vehicle, but making a harness from scratch is kind of a pain in the butt. then I realized that a light harness requires either two or three conductors depending on...

Chuck Eaton, a retired industrial engineer in Greer, S.C., said he has experienced a surge in his 2006 Toyota Tacoma three or four times, usually in warmer weather, when he deactivates the cruise control at between 65 and 70 m.p.h., then quickly resets it. But it has never happened in his wife's...

1989 Suby GL Coupe, AWD. Spongy brakes. I did the obvious and flushed/bled, but it didn't help a lot. I got a set of pads and waiting for the weather to clear. This car has disc fronts and drum rears. When I did the flush/fill I was unable to loosen the bleeder on the left rear backing, and...

It appears that I've created a problem in an attempt to avoid problems. I have a 99 Maxima with 130K on it. A month ago I replaced the transmission fluid at the dealer, a simple drain/fill. Noticed a marked improvement in vehicle performance so I was pretty happy. (the previous change was done 3...

I am thinking of disconnecting 4 pistons in my 350 Chevy. Will this improve gas mileage? I only use this vehicle for short trips around town so losing 1/2 the horsepower will not bother me. Any thoughts??

Seems they always start to ooze oil. Is it possible to build one that doesn't?

Hello, New Buick came with Goodyear "Integrity" tires. Have never heard of them. Anybody have any thoughts as to how "decent" they are ? Good for winter on snow and ice (live in New England) ? Are they just put on new cars, or also sold to public ?

I bought a set of H1 SilverStars. Installed them without touching the bulbs. After almost 3 months the left bulb blew as soon as the headlamps were turned on. I returned the lamps for a replacement. After about 2 months both bulbs blew simultaneously when turned on. The car is an Acura RSX-S....

Hey all, My wife and I just got hitched and I've now inherited the responsibility of maintaining her little 2002 Toyota Rav4... her pride and joy. I've been taking it in for its regular oil changes for a while now and decided to check on the transmission fluid the other day... turns out it's never...

Currently the CAFE standards have been defined and administered as a 5% annual increase in vehicle fuel mileage resulting in 35.5 MPG by the year 2016. Now it's being said that if the fuel mileage requirements are increased 6% annually beginning in 2017 that the CAFE fuel mileage will be 62 MPG by...

The car in this case is a 1989 Mazda 626. It was running great until the day before yesterday, and turned 190,000 miles last week. AT highway speeds it hesitates only a little bit, unless you start going up a hill, then it starts sputtering. Normal around town driving, not so much, unless you're...

The company announced the latest quality problems last week, estimated to affect about 270,000 vehicles around the world. Some 180,000 of the defective automobiles were sold overseas, 138,000 of them in the United States. No accidents or injuries have been reported because of the defect. About 220...

I have a '97 Lexus ES300 and got a check engine light 2 days ago. I got it checked and it comes up with a P0420 code. The code description says "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)". As I understand, it could be due to a defective catalytic converter, damaged O2 ensors,...

Do any of these have big red kill switches, like race cars or industrial machinery? If not, why not? -- Tegger

I recently had a problem with my old Toyota where the engine oil light came on for several seconds after starting. Thought I had an oil pump problem so I checked deja for possible hints. I found several posts siting various problems with FRAM filters so decided to check it out. Turns out that the...
