Alright, here's what I'm getting at: currently, the car I'm driving before I get my liscense is an in-line 4 cylinder. Now, just say that each cylinder has a displacement of .5 liters for each type of 4 cylinder(v, inline, boxer etc.), would they all have the same RPM? Or does the crankshaft have...

Just want to confirm the procedure to jump a battery - connect the 2 positives (red), then the negatives (black). Then disconnect starting with the black? For some reason, I had it in my mind that you connect the black first to prevent an "open ground", but I guess I am wrong. Appreciate any...

Hi, Today I replaced the six spark plugs of my 94 Ford Taurus. However, when I stop for red lights, the car shakes every one or two seconds. Does anybody know the reason? Could it be that I didn't adjust the gap? Thanks, Wei

Mark A., again, your thinking is very old-fashioned when it comes to comparing 0w-30 to 5w-30. As I said, you should consider doing some current reading about the 2 viscocities. Dr. A. E. Haas, a Florida physician and surgeon who has researched fluid dynamics for decades, has written the...
