Hi We have an Honda Odyssey minivan with an Aluminum engine. My spouse had an animal hit that caused some front end damage (bumper etc). It also damaged the radiator to leak and she drove the vehicle (normal town driving 30-50 mphs speeds) for about another 150 miles over 3-4 days. When I came...

Acetone In Fuel Said to Increase Mileage, Has anyone tried this? http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2005/03/17/6900069_Acetone/

Mark A., again, your thinking is very old-fashioned when it comes to comparing 0w-30 to 5w-30. As I said, you should consider doing some current reading about the 2 viscocities. Dr. A. E. Haas, a Florida physician and surgeon who has researched fluid dynamics for decades, has written the...

Have a 96 626 w/ 98K miles & the rotors have been warped (I'm assuming- shudders significantly when braking) for a good while - probably 10K or so. Also - when braking hard, a bit of grinding is evident too, and I figured that can't be a good thing. So I'm going to attempt replacing rotors &...

1997 Subaru AWD wagon, "L" model, basic car. Replaced coolant and thermostat and ran car static for an hour at a time about 3 times. Would initially overheat (when I replaced the coolant), cold air coming from the heater, then heat started coming from the vents and the guage went down. As I was...

Hi, I had a emission test for my 97 camry two days ago. The result came out is really good compare to the provincial standard( I live in Ontario Canada). But after the test I found that check engine and ABS light both on. After a few minutes ABS light off but engine check light still on. So today...

Hi, I am in a dilemma and unable to come to a conclusion, so I thought of seeking advise with some of the knowledgeable people here. I am planning to buy a used car. I was looking for a 2000/2001/2002 camry that I could buy in a $7.5K - $10.5K range. I wanted to buy a low mileage car, with less...

I went to pep boys today to buy a replacement serpentine belt for my vulcan V6 182 cu inch, with air conditioning. So what I end up with is a Dayco, lists for $56, got it for $35. Now, the reason I am listing this post is because this is a cogged serpentine belt. Looks like a cross between a...

Good morning, We're searching for a first car for my daughter and stumbled on a 2002 LeSabre Ltd. with 50k miles. Surprisingly, for a teenager, she likes it, so I've looked for reviews, recalls, etc., and can only find them for a 3.8L for the LeSabre. Have I missed something? Might the seller...

I just replaced the alternator, battery and starter, checked ground connection solid, battery cable replaced a few years back. When the ignition key is turned on, sometimes it starts ... sometimes it don't, it just "clicks" and "clicks" (solenoid making contacts), but would not crank the engine. ...

Hello, I have a 1983 Grand Marquis. Yesterday, it ran out of gas. After getting gas in it, we still have had problems starting it. I have changed the fuel filter inside of the carb today. I put some gas inside of the butterfly on the carb and it almost starts. It will turn over fine, but just won't...

General questions which is why I included five NG's. I've actually had the car for almost a year (bought 9-25-08). The car had a mild steering wheel shimmy at 60-70 mph that I noticed driving it home from the dealership the day I bought it. The car had not been sitting on the lot long ( a week or...

I took the oil pan off my '84 VW Rabbit (diesel). Unfortunately, most of the old (paper) gasket stuck to the bottom of the engine. How do I remove it? It's practically superglued on. I've tried gasket remover, a scraper, a razor blade, a wire wheel on a Dremel... the stuff clings to my engine block...
