Awl -- First, how "rough is rough" before you have to turn down a rotor? In the two rotors I just took off, one face was quite smooth, two faces were smooth but a little "ridgy" or ripply, and one was obviously scored and gouged. Is ridgy/ripply OK? Next, the rotors fit quite well on a 13"...

I'm trying to install an after-market cruise control system (Audiovox CCS-100) on a 1995 Toyota Tercel. I know it's not much of a car, but, we use it as our run-around vehicle and it does get an honest 33± miles per gallon. Question: I would sure like to install it within the driver's reach. ...

('99 Cavalier, 2.2L) The car is showing an intermittent TPS 'low voltage' code. When I went to look at the TPS, I noticed that the MAP sensor (right below the TPS on the throttle body) is loose: it rotates around with negligeable force. The (MAP) sensor doesn't seem to be screwed in or...

I'm a newbie when it comes to auto repairs. I plan on buying a multimeter but I'd rather start out with something simple and inexpensive. I figure I should work my way up to more expensive multimeters like the Flukes. I'm just not sure I'm going to be all that interested in auto repairs. No sense...

95 Corolla, 4A-FE with 100k miles. When first started in the morning, after not being driven for 1 day or more, it seems to misfire (like running on 3 cylinders) for about 10-20 seconds. After that, the engine smooths out and runs normally. When the car is in daily use, it starts and runs OK. What...

I posted a message a while ago, regarding the best lubricant for rustproofing the interior of various car body cavities. I decided to go with Rust Check, which is commonly available here in Canada and comes highly recommended. But today I discovered that there are two different grades of this...

Well, I did an experiment last night: I took one of the heads (the one with the suspected blown head gasket) and turned it over on its side the the exahust ports on top. I sprayed brake cleaner in the ports to fill them up with fluid. Every exhaust valve seeped fluid out of it, eventually...

Question on Jags ******************************* I am not knowledgeable on car audio systems at all. I have a few questions: 1. What has a greater impact on the sound quality of a car audio system ? Is it the speakers or the sound unit ie CD changer/player/radio ?

I was digging through paperwork on this truck and found the Midas ticket. Aparently in November my brother took the truck in becasue of no heat. They noted there was antifreeze in the truck but the protection was only to 5 degrees. The flushed the cooling system, then "pressure flushed" the heater...

I'm considering buying a new F350 in the next few weeks, F350, diesel, 4x4, DRW, probably a manual transmission. New 2009 or perhaps leftover 2008 model. Is there anything in particular to watch out for on these models? Thanks, Pete C.

http://www.gassavers.org/showthread.php?t=2584 I can seem to find more info on this technique. I tried on highway but I really don't know the distance between 2 cars. I would never tailgate but maybe 4 or more car distance. It's not easy when driving at 60 - 65mph as most cars pass mine than me...

Me again. Another brother problem. ( remember the 95 f-150 with shifting problems.?) He likes Fords. <G> He has a 1998 Lincoln Continental with a broken spring in the front strut. We got another, but can't get the strut out. 3 bolts on top are off. Pinch bolt is out and strut moves up and down...

The dealership said to stick with the 225/60R17 tires the car's "supposed" to have. The overall diameter is very nearly the same. But the dealership said: * The whole 10mm of extra width would cause the tires to hit the suspension on wide turns. * They also said "If the car has traction control...

Well, been working on this v6 2000 3.9 l Dakota that my brother said overheated and started blowing white smoke. I have the heads off and wanted to make some comments and get some advice: 1: This is the first time I have worked on a dodge. I thought the distributor would need to come out in order...

1990 Chev K1500. 350, somewhere around 240,000km. (odo broke years ago...) intake gasket failed and I got coolant in the motor - everywhere. Truck ran rough, stalled. Chocolate milk in the oil pan. What we did: Changed oil and filter. Yum. Pulled distributor, hooked up priming tool and...

1996 Buick Regal, 83K miles, 3.8L NA engine. Thought I may have had the characteristic problem with the EGR tube warping the Upper Intake Manifold. But the leak instead APPEARS (see pix links) to be originating from the front, not the rear, of the engine, possibly where a right-angled black plastc...

First, you should back away slowly. After you're safe, avoiding eye contact, you'd think, "Technology....

My 95 Jeep Cheroke makes a weird noise when I stop. I originally thought the noise was coming from the rear brakes but they were repaired and the noise didn't go away. Sounds like a weird rubbing /squeaking noise from underneath and the sound occurs at the instant that the Jeep comes to a complete...
