"Glowing" ex manifold on a 2.5L S-10 by
[email protected]
It's a 91 2.5L TBI ... the rig became progressively sluggish until it would hardly move. Any throttle movement would stall
the engine. And the exhaust manifold was red hot before I chose not to
drive it!
Towed it home ... checked for a leaking TBI - NO CHANGE. Dropped the
exhaust pipe - NO...

Hi all,
I have a 92 Chev Astro w/ the single plastic leaf springs in the rear.
I do some light hauling with it and it really squats when I put anything
in the back. It's not like I'm putting 1000# in there, just some musical
gear and a couple people and it looks like a dog squatting.

"Jack rabbit" starts give best mileage by
Misterbeets
I was reading in the Bosch Gasoline Engine Management book tips for
improving fuel efficiency, and was surprised to see wide throttle
acceleration recommended, at least up to 2000 RPM, when you are
supposed to change gears.
Exactly the opposite of what I grew up hearing. Anyone know the
thinking...

One of the features of this charger is a "maintenance" mode. When this does

"new" engine doesn't start right? by
Eric B.
Had a 1995 Mits. Galant 5-speed with 133K miles on it. A 2-year-old
balancer belt slipped somehow, got underneath the timing belt, and the
interference engine was trashed (valves bent, pistons damaged). A local
garage with a good reputation found a used engine with 66K miles on it.
They installed...

"No Safety Problem" -- Toyota accused of 'not being frank' by
john
WASHINGTON -- When owners of Lexus sedans began reporting harrowing
crashes involving stuck accelerator pedals in early 2007, Toyota told
U.S. safety regulators there was no safety problem with its floor mats
-- but it would send owners an orange warning sticker just to be sure.
The flaw has since...

If a BMW says "Oil Service" and shows a red and yellow set of lights
when you turn it on, does this mean the oil needs to be changed?

Hello:
It's hard for me to bring back to the dealer, so thought I'd ask here first.
Have a 2005 Accord LX, 6 Cyl.
Every now and then, a few times a week, for no apparent reason, the "Panic
Alarm" just goes off by itself.
There is no additional burglar alarm installed; this is just the alarm that

Now I find that it does not have the heat and memory

"Remove Key" Message on Mercedes by

A friend of mine has a Mercedes (3 series ?) that won't start
intermittently... the message on the dash reads, "Remove Key" once
removed and reinserted, it sometimes will start, sometimes not. There
are no check engine lights or codes. Any ideas on this one? I'm

"slapping" noise around fender when turning back and forth by
Richard Catrambone
Hi,
I have a 2005 Toyota Celica. I hear a "slapping" noise when I swerve
the car a bit. It sounds very much like a piece of hose smacking up
against metal. It appears to be coming from the area around the front
passenger side fender. I removed the plastic protector under the fender

"Steer Ahead" by
ChrisCoaster
Spec listed on the printout from my alignment shop. Measured in
degrees.
The printout also lists all the other usual specs - including Thrust
Angle, and Total Toe(front & rear) that have been around since square
wheels went out of style.
What does "Steer Ahead" signify?

"stretch bolts"? (Cylinder head) by
George[_23_]
I'm considering taking the head off our '99 Cavalier 2.2L. A couple of
parts stores have said that the head bolts are one-time-use "stretch
bolts", and need to be replaced. The (GM) service manual doesn't say
anything about this.
I would appreciate any clarification.
Thanks,
George
