My alternator stopped "alternating", so I took the one out of my "parts car" to replace it with until I could deal with the problem. However I did something really idiotic. I broke the positive terminal bolt. So I have a working alternator that I can't use. I assume that the stud is a simple...

Something is wrong with the car! It is a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with 90,000 miles. I wasn't beating on it, nothing unusual. All of a sudden I thought I felt a little hesitation when accelerating from about 40 - 60mph. I didn't think anything of it. I pull into a shopping center and...

The SES came on yesterday when I started the car to head home from work. It was on this morning so I checked it and got P0341. Google helped me find out that I should just check the plugs and plug wires and work back from there. If the code comes back, I plan to follow these steps here...

This post is a continuation of an earlier one with added information... I have a 91 Camry LE with 187k miles. It has automatic transmission. Recently, I noticed that it vibrates noticeably when I put it into gear. The vibration is about the same whether I have the ac on or not. Also, the rpm's...

Hi Everyone. I recently had a bad AAA tow and put four new tires on my car yesterday (98 Buick Century). The garage said they couldn't align the car to specifications because of how the tow bent the parts connecting the rear tires (I don't know anything about cars). The new tires have a 65,000...

i am looking at an antique truck. The original engine was replaced with a Chevy 350 crate engine. Otherwise it looks original. Problem is, when you start the engine it sounds like a hot rod -- throaty muscle car type of sound. I want a sedate old car sound. My question -- is this sound simply...

Hey, all... I have an '02 Subaru WRX. Had it for about 2 1/2 years now, and it has 36,000km on it. Lately I've noticed that when I gear down from second to first, the synchro-mesh occasionally seems to let me into 1st before the rpms have synched up properly - it results in a bit of a thud, or...

My wife just got herself a new car and we're in the process of transferring state and city licenses before we donate the old car to a charity. We've obtained transfer documents for the state plates and they've been moved to the new car (the charity will pick up the old car so it won't be driven...

Hello, I'm new to the group. The problem that I need help with is that the front passenger side power window won't go up on our 1995 Crown Vic. I just saw a post tonight, in which someone else seemed to have the same problem, but I couldn't find any answers to his post. According to my service...

looking for ideas on why our 98 Jeep Grand with a 4 liter pings with regular gas when pulling our 19 foot camper. When I put premium in it does ok , but I thought the Knock sensor would adjust timing to run on any fuel. Is my Knock sensor bad ? I've got no check engine lights . Runs perfect in...

The rear view mirror fell off our 1992 Explorer. I got some rear view mirror adhesive glue and reattached it to the windshield glass and the next day it fell off again. I may not have removed all the old adhesive and am going to try to glue it on again...this time removing all the old adhesive and...

My 88 Chrysler started to smoke so the head gasket was changed. When the head was off I noticed the #1 cylinder was oily and black. I thought changing the head gasket would cure the problem but still smokes . Could the valve guide/oil seals be the culprit? Thanks ,Don

I've got an odd problem with my 1999 Mazda B2500 (Ford Ranger under the hood), I'll post as much information about it as I can and see if it makes sense in the end. About two months ago, I had the following work done on the truck, in the following order, all within about a week of each...

I'm getting a gradually increasing road noise on a '95 Corolla, 80k miles. The noise is pretty anoying (can't hear the radio). I had previous experience with road noise getting louder on Japanese cars around 10 years old. The noise doesn't change when turning, but it changes depending on...

my front windshield washer squirters dont work on my new/used 97 astro. is this an easy fix? is there a simple motor or relay or something that i need to replace? i am semi-handy around a car, and would like to do this myself if possible. what can you all tell me about this...

automatic transmission. My gear was in R. While my foot was on the brake pedal and I had come to a complete stop, I absentmindedly turned off the engine. Question: Did that affect the transmission in a bad way?

I have a 1991 Geo Prizm. When I hit my left turn signal, I hear a loud screech that does not stop until I either turn the turn signal off or hold it down hard. When all I hear is the screeching noise, neither the front nor the rear turn signal lights blink at all. However, when I hold the left...
