I am new to this group and I want to ask a question. I have a 1993 Mercury Topaz and from what I was told the harmonic balancer/front pulley is having problems. The noise that is coming from the area is sort of like a grinding type sound or more like a when a pulley is shot. Anyway, I took it to...

Hello, I recently bought a used 1993 Nissan Altima as a daily driver. Yesterday, when I tried to fire it up, a huge cloud of black smoke came out of the exhaust and the car made this horrible sound. The car does not start anymore. When I try to start it, all I hear is this click/knocking sound in...

I had the master cylinder in my 94 Honda replaced just a few months ago to finally cure a slow fluid leak which was causing my clutch pressure to drop and the clutch engagement point to fall nearly to the floor every few months. Now however, I sometimes have a new problem: after driving the car...

I spent a cold winter driving to work. I get a small amount of air and heat that keeps the windshield from frosting. But, I have a blanket over me and gloves on and still freeze. I replaced the heatercore, heater hose, radiator x2, thermostat! What is left? (I know a new vehicle!) Thank you.

My 1994 Aerostar just recently will not start all the time. It began when I let it get almost completely empty. It was hard to start. I put dry gas in it and it started all the time for a few days then one day it was below 1/2 tank and it would not start. Later in the day it started. Now it...

Can anyone give me a suggestion on the next thing to try. The problem: The shifter will manually go into the drive, reverse, low, 1 and 2 position ok. However the car just revs up like it would in park, but shows absolutely no sign of wanting to move. i have flushed the tranny, replaced the...

My 1994 Astro makes a very loud hissing noise when I put it in gear and under partial load. I'm talking VERY loud hissing. It does not do it when in park even if I bring the revs way up. Only in gear and under load. Has next to no power when it is like this. I cannot find the leak. Van has propane...

Hi all I have a 1994 buick century with a 3.1 liter motor. I would like to know what the fuel pressure is supposed to be on the car? I bought a tester but I'm not sure if its supposed to be hooked up and just turn the key to the on position or is the car supposed to be running. I have changed...

I have recently had problems with a 1994 Buick Century, 6 cyl, with approx 100K miles. It seems like these problems could be symptoms created by another problem, but I'm just guessing. Any advice would be greatly apprecaited. Slight loss of coolant with driving, does not overheat, does not...

I recently have been noticing that my battery gauge has been going down drastically to about 9-10 with everything on (turn signals, radio, headlights, etc.). But when everything is off- the voltage goes back to 13. So I got a new alternator and had the battery charged up for about 10 minutes....

My car is a 1994 Buick Regal Custom, 3800 V6, 240,000km (150k miles). Since about 2 years, some coolant leaks from the intake gasket. At first I had to add some coolant once or twice a year, now I need to add a pint every 3-4 weeks. There is no trace of coolant in the engine oil. The cost to...

Hi All, I have a 1994 Cadillac SLS with 32k miles. It has developed a horrible clicking sound when turning right only at any speed and sounded like it was coming from the right front wheel. The strange thing is the clicking doesn't seem to go faster at higher speed or slower at slower speed. I...

I want to check if the fuel pump in this van is indeed getting power to it..The Haynes manual says to drop the back of the gas tank down and unplug the wiring connector there and test but it seems to me there should be an easier place to reach some portion of these wires without dropping the...

Hello. My brothers 1994 Caravan is leaking power steering fluid out of the rubber boot on the end of the rack and pinion. Obviously the seal inside is blown but my question is...How hard is it to change just that seal as opposed to pulling and replacing the entire rack and pinion? Any input or...

Are the 3-speed and 4-speed transmissions from a 1994 Caravan with the 3.0 engine in any way interchangeable? I ask because the 3-speed in my brothers Caravan is shot and someone offered me a working 4-speed also from 94' Caravan with a 3.0 engine. I was thinking since it is the same van and same...
