Just my rotten luck: Back in summer of 2003, had a local independent change out my 1996 Ford Contour(Mondeo) belt, low 60,000s. He had the car for three days, because he did all the work himself. Second day, got a phone call from this guy: "Hey look, sorry this timing belt is taking longer than...

For anyone with a late-model Chevy Cavalier with the front part of the dash crack, there is a guy trying to put together a class-action suit with a lawyer to get Chevy to replace this defective part at no charge. So far, he has had 136 people sign up. If you are interested, the details are...

It may come as a shock to some but "Full" is not the same as "100%". The brands that have that on the lable want to make you get the impression that it is. It's not illegal because there is no rule that says anything about a minimum amount of synthetics before it's called "Full".

Need some help here. I'm trying to remove the front brake rotor from an 87 Mazda 626 (pulsing brakes - probably a warped rotor). With the wheel and brake caliper off, there is nothing that appears to hold the rotor on. But banging on the rotor and a reasonable amount of force with a puller,...

Buying a new Chrysler van, and the salesman was tauting a new "alloy" that he said Daimler developed. He called it an alloy, but the description seems to indicate a laminate, plastic on steel. I am assuming it is a single layer of each. He said it provides both corrosion resistance and sound...

I have a 1976 vette with about 120K miles on it. Last year I had to do a fair amount of work on it (spring, shocks, rad support bracket, new rad, new water pump.). It seems to have been developing a problem and I am not sure what it is. I thought it started about the time I installed the new...

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...

I'm wondering about the feasability of recreating the appearance of classic American autos, like the '57 Chevy & such; but with lighter materials and hybridized engines. Imagine driving a '48 Studebaker -- but getting 50 miles to the gallon. That's what I'm talking about. The bodies of immortal...

I see lots of folks who claim that putting an amount of methyl hydrate in the tank prior to an emissions test, can help lower HC/CO I am considering giving it a try on my older vehicle with a car that is giving me fits being just barely over the edge on both HC and CO, but believe it or not, I am...

I parked the '67 Toronado outside jusat before the temperature got below freezing about a month ago. It was above 50 degreees, so I decided to drive it today. It started right up, just needed some power steering fluid. It ran fine all day, but started hesitating on the way to work tonight. It...

On one hand, I feel like I'm just asking for trouble.... Slowly over the last few years I've nurtured a desire for a MKIII Toyota Supra- 1986.5-1992 model years. Specifically I want an all-original, unmodified white one with a Targa Top, turbocharged engine and 5spd transmission. So now...
