Infiniti Q45 oil pan removal procedure by Miki
The first step in the service manual says: "Remove engine." You may not have to remove it, you could probably jack it up. You would likely have to lift it until it's against the firewall, because the pan needs quite a few inches of drop-down before it'll clear the crank counterweights.

98 Camry wiper switch/motor problem by [email protected]

cracked head on Geo Tracker? by HamNCheese
My fiancee has a 1994 Geo Tracker which burst a heater hose and overheated, losing most of its water. After repairing the hose the car ran fine for a week or so, but then started spewing white smoke from the tailpipe. Figuring a blown head gasket we performed a compression test, and first off...

I just turned 100k on my 2001 Suburban. In the morning, the engine runs pretty rough but with smooth out after it warms up. When it did this first, my CHECK ENGINE SOON light would flash but turn off after it warms up. But later, the light just stayed and would not go off. I took to the dealer...

Hi, Output speed sensor on my 1999 Chrysler Town & Country minivan failed. I'm thinking of replacing this part myself. Can anybody recommend what would be the best place to buy it? Is NAPA auto-parts store a good idea? Thanks, IP.

97 ford escort, weak rear brakes by imnoldee
I changed the front pads and rear shoes of my 97 escort. I noticed the rear brakes are weak. With the vehicle raised, I could turn the wheels by hand with the brakes on. On ice, I couldn't lock up the rear wheels. Unfortunately I didn't check this before I replaced the shoes. This car has a...

Stupid strut cars by Tim Kett
Why do so many car manufacturers make cars that require struts these days ? Shocks are about 15 to 20 times cheaper to install. And who needs $1000.00 airbags, when seat belts work just fine ? Newfangled, easily crunchable JUNK !

internal resistor in coil question by RB
In the old, conventional distributor/breaker point systems, how does the internal coil resistor let full voltage go through for starting, and then drop it down for running? Is it a temperature driven thing (i.e., as the resistor warms up, the resistance drops)? And how does it work with the...
