In the older years, and living in a growing city. The roads have numerous cuts and patches upon patches. Seems like the newer models have lower profile tires, and stiffer springs for handling, but are becoming bone jarring on this types of road. Is there one midsize vehicle that stands out for...

I have a 98 Subie Legacy L with a leak in the seam of the tank. What sort of epoxy can I use to patch this seam and hold off the leak for a while?

I know the ECM tests the cat's oxidation-side for O2 storage by 1) commanding rich for 5 seconds to drain the cat of O2, then 2) commanding lean for 5 seconds to load the cat with O2 while 3) counting the time that passes before the secondary HO2S flips. But how does it test for proper NO (NOx)...

I am on the road often enough where I need to get my oil changed at Jiffy Lube or other convenient type of oil change place. Is there any quality or performance difference between the bulk oil they use or the optional bottled oil (penzoil) that they offer for $10-$15 more? I have heard many horror...

My '82 Mazda 626 - 2.0 liter inline four with no computer, in front of a 5 speed stick - has been giving me some weirdness lately that I simply haven't been able to track down. It's intermittent, so that's not helping the troubleshooting process. I *THINK* I've got it narrowed down to two "mostly...

Would like to cut the road noise on my 2008 KIA Rondo. Not too bad but certainly not as quiet as my 2000 Silverado pickup. Would 'Great Stuff', or other spray foam sealants, sprayed on the underside of wheel wells and floor boards be of any benefit? Are there other products? Anybody done...

'02 Isuzu Axiom (similar to the Rodeo) and the front left brakes keep squeaking. Sounds like this: Squeak <pause> squeak <pause> squeak. It sounds like a bad spot on the rotor. Each time the rotor has been turned the squeak went away for about 2 days. Its been turned twice. The pads are factory...

I have a 91 Camry LE with 180k miles. Recently, it has been running as if it lacks complete power. This morning I began to look at variious aspects of the engine to determine the problem. When I pulled the spark plugs, I notices that all of them had good appearance (light gray in the firing...

I'm trying to increase the oil pressure in a 96 Nissan Sentra 1.6 Liter engine. The oil light comes on with engine hot, idling in Drive, goes out when put in neutral. I just changed the oil from 10w-30 to 20-w-50, and the light has not come on again :) But it's still making a lot of valve...
