Where would I locate the Starter Relay on my 96 blazer? Is it behind the plastic cover inside the glove compartment? Thanks

Last weekend my wife reported that the battery was dead in our 2000 Honda Accord V6. I charged battery overnight; started fine after I put it back in. Looked for drains with a multimeter; after a few minutes, current went down to 12 mA, which AFAICT means there's no way it could empty the battery....

I haven't done drum brakes ever but I'm faced with these drum brakes where I'd just like to ask a couple of questions from those of you who have done drum brakes before. 1. I released the parking brake from the cabin and screwed these 2-inch long metric 8mm x 1.25mm threads bolts to pull the drum...

My mechanic adjusted one of my headlights because it was out of alignment due to some body work to my right fender. However, only the up/down is adjustable. I wonder why the right/left is not adjustable? I seem to recall in the 70s where both adjustment could be made. Andy

With all the problems we have discussed recently about cooling systems, I would like to revisit a question that, I believe, was posted some time ago: Basically, why could not a system be developed that used an electromechanical clutch coupled to the water pump? You might not need a thermostat at...

I have a brake question. I have a 1996 chevy Silverado. I have had it for about 4-5 years. I bought it from my dad. It has 315,000 miles on it. It has always had a soft spongy pedal. Brakes seem to work, but like I said the pedal sinks when holding it. This weekend was a nightmare. I replaced one...

I believe that at some point years ago (60's ?) some cars had laminated side glass in addition to laminated front windshields (true?). Anyways, I'm pretty sure that side window glass in moderm cars is not laminated (although I'm sure for the extra $15 it would cost it would sell very well as a...

I have a 95 Grand Prix GTP, and if I'm signalling at idle (in gear, my foot on the brakeat a dead stop) my RPM decreases by about 50 RPM when the signal light is lit and cycles back up when it turns off and continues during the periodicity of the signalling. My dash lights also slightly dim with...

Is it appropriate to install a TRD transmission cooler (TRD 00602-16491-002) in a 2000 Tacoma Prerunner 4 Cylinder (3RZFE) 2.7 Automatic Transmission with air conditioning? My Tacoma is a 2WD regular cab. I asked a mechanic if he could install one and he said no problem. When he called a Toyota...

Came to a screeching halt at a Honda dealer today. Now, they had quite a selection of $32-36,000 Crosstours there, but what caught my eye was http://www.cargurus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/honda-cr-z-21.jpg The Honda CR-Z. Only available as a Hybrid, but the electrics can be turned off...

Hi, Just need a quick bit of advice. I have just refitted my cylinder head although I have not yet refilled the coolant or started the car. I decided to do a quick compression test to check everything was in order before I filled the coolant and so on. The first cylinder I checked showed very...

to run on battery only.... Any idea on how much gas this would save? I noticed a substantial increase in my mpg's when my alternator went, on a Mazda 929S -- mebbe 15-20%? If this observation was accurate, it would make sense to hump around a spare battery, and operate without an alternator --...

3 weeks ago I polished my headlight lenses. They came out great. I had replaced a bulb and noticed again how cloudy they were, 2005 car. It took about 2 hours but would have taken less if my back didn't hurt and I had to sit down over and over, and if then I didn't start listening to the...

I'd always thought that any head bolts should be replaced, but even more important for tty bolts. Local nissan tech says no - not necessary. Do I believe him?

Curious as hell about this. Was taught by the parents to drive in general on a 65 Chevy with an auto tranny. Then the parents taught me to drive a stick on a 67 Dodge 3-on-the-tree Dart. None of them had a tach.

Is there any way to properly align the camshaft position sensor in a 4.2L V6 (from a 1997 F-150) without having to go out and spend $60 to $100 for a "synchro positioning tool" ??? I hate to spend that kind of money on a tool that I might never need again. TIA, john w.

I found some at a relative's house that may be 15 years old. It is in a can with a screw off top. I didn't notice the brand.
