Hello Everyone, I have a 1992 Subaru Legacy Wagon 2.2L with 150,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago the timing belt broke while I was driving on the highway. This weekend I replaced it with some friends and we did our best to line everything up, but once we put everything back...

Hello, I was wondering, is there anywhere (like a website) that would have the gas mileage figures for an older car, to be specific a 1978 Buick Regal? The owner's manual doesnt have it, neither does the Chilton's book, and the govt. site doesn't have cars that old. I ask this because I just...

I have just bought a fiat brava and i don't have the five digit code you need to deactivate the imobilizer. If anyone could help urgently.

Please follow this one for a bit: I'm working on a newly acquired chopped down VW Beetle Dune Buggy. Not a pro job... obviously some guys in a backyard did it. It's a 70 chassis with a 69 Solex 30 PICT 2 carb on a 1600 74 motor. It runs a little sluggish and then the throttle picks up...

After changing the fuel pressure regulator, the engine will not start however in the process of changing the regulator, I found what I think is called the EGR Tube, where it hooks into the intake manifold. It was completely stopped off with carbon and grease I cleaned everything thoroughly without...

I'm looking for a BIG convertible for occasional family use but nobody makes one today with more than 4 seats. And I've been challenged on the safety of an old car. Seems to me the overwhelming weight of the Eldorado (almost 5200 pounds) and the large distances passengers are from impact...

Howdy from Canada,first post,so please bear with me as its a long one.Our 92 lumina 3.1 motor(excellent GM motor!) runs absolutely perfect when cold,but once its warmed up,which I think means its up to operating temperature bucks and jerks on normal acceleration from stop sign.Then it goes along...

98 dodge caravan problem: windshield wipers only work sometimes found out that the motor and switch are good what else could this be and how can I diagnose? Thanks in advance,

I was going to buy a used truck that had no battery, so I took the battery out of my car. The truck started fine with my battery and we ran it with the hood up for about 5 minutes with no issue. Then I went to test drive it and my brother shut the hood. As I was backing out he yelled "there's...

Hi, I would like to purchase a new set of Yokohama TRZ's for a 2002 Colla S and have them mounted by a knowledgable shop that offers a lifetime or 5 year alignment plan. Can anybody recommend a shop in the southern Califronia area (I am about 30 miles south of LA) with good equipement and caring...

Ok, here's a weird one. I've got a Chevy 305 with a mild tune in a 72 Mercedes 280SE, and it's been running great for a while now. However, after a rain storm, it won't start, but it's a weird non-start. When i connect the battery cables, turn the key to ignition, the accessories work (a/c,...

Hey all -- This is a friend's car, I helped him change his thermostat earlier today. Only took about 30 minutes, but when he hooked everything back up, the car won't start. It turns over strong but doesn't catch. This is what we've done already: -Car has plenty of fuel, can smell and see vapor...

I have been working on the AC on my 96 S10 and i think my low side schrader valve is leaking. I got a core removal tool. Took it out, and put it back in. It seemed to go in a little too far. Should the AC schraders screw in just far enough to cover the threads, or is there a stop in the fitting...

Hi all, I have a 92 Chevy Astro van 4.3 w/ factory AC. My pressure switch for the AC compressor went out and since it hasn't been running real cold anyway, I bought an R-134a retrofit kit for it. I also bought a conversion R-134a switch since it doesn't run at the same pressure and the...

My driver side window go down but not up, the relay just clicks. I tried a new relay and motor and it still does the same thing. When I put power directly to the motor I can get it to go up or down. This leaves me with either a switch or some other electrical problem. Does anyone know how to...

I have a 1999 Chevy Lumina V6 that is leaking coolent and I believe I see coolent on the top of engine of the drivers side, any ideas where this leak might be? thanks, Bob

I drove my 1999 Chrysler Town and Country over a very heavily wash-boarded gravel road the other day. After about a mile on the road, the "door open" light and chime illuminated and sounded. I kept re-shutting the passenger mid-side door, but I don't think it was ever actually open. The door...

My owners manual for a 2001 Dodge Intrepid said use ATF + 4. I havn't seen it. Is it the same as ATF DEXTRON H ???
