1991 chevy ABS brakes by phil7777
Will the ABS hyd. unit from a 1994 Buick Roadmaster fit in my 1991 Chevy Caprice. I know it will physically fit but it is missing a red jumper wire next to the two relays. Is this just a newer design?. Any help is great. Thanks

Rough Idle (87 Toyota Celica) by Thomas Hildebrandt
I'm having a difficult time diagnosing a rough idle problem on my 1987 Toyota Celica GT-S. When the engine is at normal operating temperature and the idle air bypass valve closes and the RPM drops, the idle quality becomes poor. The idle bounces up and down, and it feels like it about to...

It's a ragtop, coulda rained at one point in it's career while the top was down. As long as there is no serious rust anywhere else on the car I wouldn't get excited. Seems there should be at least a coat of paint on the pedals to prevent such a situation. Is it rusted thru the paint or are they...

Changing oil through dipstick tube. by [email protected]
I change my own oil and it is getting harder to crawl under the car to change oil. I have seen units that can suck up the oil through the dipstick tube. Think these are ok? They suck it up using the air from your compressor.

Your maintenance-free battery ISN'T maintenance free ! by Lawrence Glickman
While I was making mischief out in the garage today, I popped off the top of my maintenance-free battery, and discovered that the electrolyte level was DOWN TO THE TOP OF THE PLATES.
