I also need help with my chain and tensioner. The rover I just bought didn't have the tensioner on it, so I ordered one and can't find any info on how to install it. My email is .

Was out shopping this morning and noticed when I started my '92 Accord it sounded 'tired' kindof like the batt was low (it wasn't) Did a few more errands, maybe 4-5 on/off cycles, and went home. 6 hours later in my driveway, attempted to start her up and -nothing- lights & buzzer are strong, but...

In just a regular car engine, how airtight is each cylinder and about how much force does it take to push the piston down?

Hi, I would like to purchase a good code reader that will work with my current and future vehicles. I am not a newbie and know about cars. (not as much as you guys however).

I live in a tropical country and what is the long term effect of permanently removing the theremostat in a sedan? I understand that the thermostat regulates the waterflow from and to the engine and the radiator, is this correct ?

I was sent the email below about a "new method" for stealing cars. Now I know the "good guys" are not that stupid and that there is MORE to getting a key made under the conditions below. When you go to a dealer to get a key cut, I am sure they will ask for your LICENSE and VIN . What else ??? The...

Went to have a smog test done today and the smog place told me that that their smog machine cannot communicate with my 2004 Nissan Xterra XE 2.4L 4 cyl.....? Now the really odd thing is that the OBD2 scanners are able to analyze see and and diagnose the OBD2 system......? This really bizarre and...

I need a little help finding some car parts for my uncle. He's looking for ignition and fuel systems for a 1987 Mercedes Benz 190 and a 1975 Mercedes Benz 450 SEL (I think). I can't seem to find these on Google (perhaps I'm not using the right search terms) and I was hoping maybe someone knows of...

This pneumatics brad nailer calls for 55-100-psi, the 5G tank supplies 120-psi. The instructions on the side of the tank says, "do not use on pneumatics tools."

Greetings, I am doing my first '89 Tempo/Topaz motor mount replacement. It's the one under the battery/airbox on the drivers side. I have removed the rubber part, but cannot get a good grip on the three 13mm bolts that hold the top metal half to the automatic transmission. My tools are all either...

My speedometer/odometer (Electronic Dash) went out and now the transmission shifts hard. I narrowed it down to the vehicle speed sensor, but I can't find it. There is a sensor on the rear differential, but it completely different from the new VSS I have in my hand. I assume it is an ABS sensor. I...

A modern vanilla sedan can do 0.9 g, maybe more with good tyres. I saw a video on Youtube of some guy fitting a triangulated 4-link suspension to some chrome-bumper car, and managed to get 0.52 g on cornering, which seems rather poor. Must have had sh*t tyres. Sorry, I haven't been able to find it...
