I have a newly acuired 90 3Dr EZ. It appears to have an exhaust leak about halfway down the header pipe on the funny looking piece that has a diamond pattern on it. What is this and do I have to replace the whole header pipe (about $100)?? Thanks, JJ

I have a 1991 Honda Accord EX with a 2.2L SOHC 16 Valve EFI engine that just blows big clouds of Blue Smoke the fist time that it is started each day. When I bought the car the guy had already warmed it up so I never suspected anything. He did mention that the timing belt had broken and he had...

There seems to be some very knowledgeable folks here so I'm hoping that someone may be able to provide me with some insight- the majority of my automotive engine experience relates to normally aspirated motors and is probably 20 years out of date. I'm really not up to speed on computer controled,...

I had to replace the serpentine belt and now that the old one is off, I don't know how to wind the new one on. The decal that is supposed to be there, isn't. I put it on in an intuitive manner but something squeals. I don't want to proceed without a diagram of some kind. If someone could post a...

I have a 97 accord with 140K miles. I am wondering how long do the stock springs last before needing to be replaced. I recently replaced a set of worn Michelin X-ones with a set of Goodyear Assurance Comfortreds which have received rave reviews for a smooth and quiet ride. The ride however didn't...

Hi all: I'm not an expert car repair diagnoser. Amateur at the very best and only know how to do the basics (ie, oil filter changes, spark plugs, plug wires, radiator drain/hose-replacement, etc..). My friend has a 95 Barretta with 139,000 miles. On the highway when going about 45+ miles per...

Instead of dropping the pan, I disconnect the cooling hose to the radiator and pump out 3-4 quarts of dirty fluid. This has worked fine on all my cars. Now, with a car I just bought, no fluid is pumping out to the radiator. I did drop the pan and change the filter. The fluid was a very dark...

I'm getting the clutch replaced Monday, but have a question. If I turn off the engine while the car is still moving and in gear(clutch fully depressed). There is a noticeable drag as soon as the engine quits. Cherokees have a hydraulic clutch, but it's not a "power" clutch like power brakes, or...
