Hello, I have a 97 Expedition which needs the upstream O2 sensor replaced on the passenger side. I have the O2 socket, but my question is, how the heck do you get at it? The entire sensor and wiring harness are blocked by the exhaust, heat shields, etc. I don't see any way to get the socket...

Hi all, I need to replace the valve cover and the AC compressor is in the way. I took out the 3 bolts that old it in place but the clutch is preventing from getting the bolts out. What's the trick? I'm guessing the clutch needs to come out but I don't see how. Any help? Thx

Hi, One of my pulleys has seized. The diagram in the Haynes manual does not include the pulley in question. I have identified the alternator, the power steering, the water pump, the A/C compressor, the tensioner and one or two idlers. I do not know what the remaining pulley is and am therefore...

Were I to use synthetic (Mobil-1) oil in a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado , which grade would be best? The car has 51000 miles on it. Is used approx. 2000 miles/year presently, though hoping to take it on some lengthy (1500+ miles) trips in near future. Car sees somewhat more use in hot weather than...

Can anybody tell me why exhaust would come into my car via the vents when I start it up cold? It only happened once and that was today. My friend and I got in and started it and the exhaust just poured in. Any reason why this would happen?

I have a problem with a 1989 mazada 626 2.2L non turbo, that stalls when the idle goes lower than 1100 rpm. I have tried changing the mass air sensor since that checkout bad, no change. cleaned the idle air control valve, and changed the throttle body, still no change. I have checked for vacuum...

I'm in france with survival-only french so was not able to fully understand the implications of a quick burst tyre repair I've just had carried out to get me back to base. This particular garage was unable to find a tool to fit these particular wheel bolts and I couldn't find one in my car kit...

I just stepped on a nail and lost 40-pounds. I am swapping in a spare. The spare says I can go only 50-mph max; instead I will go 80 like the rest of the gangs. If I really need to go fast, what is the right way to do it on a spare? Thanks

1996 Chevrolet PU C1500 4.3 V6 Someone told me to check it. I thought it was on back of engine but it doesn't appear to be there. Can someone tell me where it is on this engine? Inside the manifold maybe? Thanks, Libby

I'm doing a little research. I just learned that in Ontario you need to have a A-class drivers license to tow a trailer over 4,600 Kg (roughly 10,000 pounds). That's the same license to drive tractor-trailers, and you need annual testing and periodic medicals to keep that license, plus you need a...

I'm a shade tree mechanic who has done his own brake work for 25+ years. I've always had older cars so I have never worked on one with anti-lock. I've a 99 suburban that probably needs new pads and I might as well replace the fluid. Can I do this work like I always have or are them some gotchas...

I have a 94 Acclaim that wouldn't hardly warm up. A friend said I needed a thermostat, so I replaced it. I am pretty sure that I put it in the correct way. I put it in the same way the other was in. Anyway, since then it has had a couple of intermittent periods of overheating. The following...
