gas guzzling and no leaks by
[email protected]
Hello
My 1991 Cutlass goes through gas like crazy lately with no smell of gas
or apparent leaks. I recently replaced the exhaust manifold and the
spring bolts do not form a perfect seal. Could this be tricking the
computer into running a super rich mixture. I have noticed this problem
a lot more...

On especially cold mornings, when I first start out, the brake pedal

Gutting catalytic converter by
Mark W
Is the gas flow through a factory converter better with, or without, the
honeycomb filling?
Some people say it's good to remove all or part of the insides, others say
that will make the gases stall in the chamber. But some cars have an
expansion chamber as a silencer anyway, don't they?

Broken Spark Plug - Need help fast by
Tokay
If getting stuff in the cylinder is a big fear, why not take the head
off? You lose a little bit of leverage that way, but at least you
could get at it from both sides.....
Just an idea, I'm no expert.
