I have a 1996 Chev PU 4x4 extracab reg box with a 305. It has become very hard to start. Once running, it will run fine on idle. When it is put in gear and accelerated slightly, it will stall and be hard to start. In park, if the rpm is raised from idle, it will always stall at a consistant 900...

I am having symptoms (hesitation on acceleration) on my 88 Chevy Nova Toyota 4AC engine 2BBL that point to the auxiliary acceleration pump. Unfortunately, I don't know where it is. Can someone give me directions as to its location? I understand it is a triangular plate with a vacuum hose going to...

95 dodge avenger 2.0L fuel injected, won't start below -5C or so (which isn't very cold). When you first start to crank it'll catch a bit, sometimes actually seem to start, then die and no further cranking will get it to fire. Every single time, if it doesn't catch immediately it'll just crank and...

Hello, Living in NW Chicago suburbs, I notice that in the recent years the traffic lights seem to begin working in a mode that I would call "red wave", contrary to the "green wave" system that ensures green light on all intersections to a vehicle that moves along the street with the right...

I'm having problems with the automactic transmission on my 1995 Ford Explorer - Full Electronic version. As I'm driving along the gears will disengage or alternatively change down when not required to. At the same time the overdrive light on the dash usually switches off and on and the electronic...

Hello: It looks to me that that at least 80% of all the stop signs that are so frequent on US roads (specifically, in Illinois where I live, but I don't recall a difference in other states - I think I'd have noticed), might be rightfully replaced by "yield" signs on unequal intersections, or no...

I have recently had my transmission replaced with a rebuilt transmission. While awaiting for parts arrival, my car was exposed to cold temperatures, 0 degrees, etc and was laid up about 2 1/2 weeks before I got it out the shop. The car ran fine for a while but after it got warmed up, the engine...

I have an 84 Chrysler New Yorker and when I turn the air on, the air has a bad smell coming through the vents for the first few minutes then it goes away. Now I did have the car setting up for a while (almost 2 years) and drove it very seldom during this period. So is there something that builds up...

Hi; We repair car audio gear. A good customer brought in this dash cluster to see if we can repair it. None of us ever worked on these things before and I'm wondering if anyone has access to a diagram that describes the 30-pin connector on the back or knows where I could find this info.

I have a 98 Camaro, 4.3 V-6 with 105,000miles. Lately upon startup and until it is warm, there is noise coming from the top-end, to me it sounds like the rocker arms (or at least that area) it quiets down when it gets warm. I am curious how concerned I need to be about the noise or what should be...
