DOHC, SOHC, NOHC Performance benefits, or hype? by
phaeton

sort of front suspension linkage that keeps both front wheels on the
ground and parallel to...

Air Conditioner Problem by
After enjoying my Dodge Custom Van for several years, suddenly the air
conditioner packed it in
I haven't had time to check it out yet, but maybe those with considerable
experience can serve
as a sounding board.
The compressor comes on for about 2-3 seconds, then cycles off. Constantly.

Installing Kill Switch on Honda Accord by
[email protected]
I would like to install a kill switch on a 2000 Honda Accord LX. In the
past (with 80s model cars), I have simply connected a circuit breaker
to the active terminal of the battery. However, as I recall for those
