brand new GM Goodwrench engine fails New Jersey emissions by
[email protected]
Bought a brand new 350 from the local dealer for only $1744 for my 220K
miles '94 Suburban. The old one had barely flunked the ASTM 5015
elevated rpm "roller" test for CO (10% high) and HC (5% high). It was
"using" oil; I never found a leak but had to add 2-3 quarts every 7500
miles, and the...

[email protected]
I picked up a 1991 Firebird 3.1L that starts & runs fine when cold, I
can stop and restart as much as I want, until it reaches full operating
temperature. Once warm it will not restart. It starts but dies
immediately until it is completely cooled down.

Beretta toe problem solved by
ray
Amazing what happens when Canadian Tire calibrates their equipment.
The rear toe magically went from -3/8" to +1/8" on the left. Everything
is now back in spec. Coincidentially, the numbers are virtually the
same as the December alignment in the rear.
And in the front... here's yesterday's...

Radiator Resevoir Filled With Grey Gunk... by
supafly
If a radiator fill resevoir is filled with grey foam-looking gunk, does
that mean oil is mixing with the coolant? This car does not have a
radiator cap.
This is on a 95 Saturn sedan.
Will a flush fix the problem, or will it keep happening?

88 GMC Jimmy Speed-o stopped by
edgar
My speedometer quit today. reads 0 MPH and no miles counting.
Pretty sure I can do this myself, but where the heck do I start? Under the
dash?
Do they still use a cable off the trans, like in the olden days?

Toyota oxygen sensor question by
Garry Tarr
Recently my wife’s 1993 Toyota Corolla 4WD wagon (4AFE 1600 engine,
170,000 km) failed an emission test due to high CO levels. A quick test
showed no output voltage at the oxygen sensor. Solution seemed
straightforward- I simply installed a new Bosch OEM sensor.
Unfortunately, CO levels did not...
