Last month I rotated the wheels on the '06 Camry, from front to back. Yesterday I re-torqued them after 350 miles of driving and five weeks. All the lug nuts on the two rear wheels did not turn even a bit; they were perfectly torqued. But 4 out of 5 lug nuts on the passenger-side front wheel...

I really hope GM avoids bankruptcy. My dad only ever owned GM products. I've been happy with the 2 Toyotas I've owned and probably will stick with Toyota for the rest of my life, but I hope GM survives too. The more competition, the better. Companies strive to out-do each other. I agree with...

The top 10 stolen cars in 2007 were 1) 1995 Honda Civic 2) 1991 Honda Accord 3) 1989 Toyota Camry (yes, 1 9 8 9 ) 4) 1997 Ford F-150

Two identical RV batteries. They have been unhooked from the RV 'converter' (smart trickle charger) for 5 days. Checking with a hydrometer shows that all cells are 75% charged. (12 cells, two batteries). HOWEVER one of the batteries reads 12.35 volts while the other reads 8.6 volts. Why...

My reverse lights are not working on my 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager van. The bulbs have been replaced and the fuse(s) are fine. I am guessing it is the switch (if not a short in the wiring). Where is it located? Thank you!

Hi there! My VW GTI has some strange issues lately. When I turn the car on (which sometimes fails, i turn the key and nothing happens, only the dashboard lights come on) and let it sit on park, the radio and AC will stop working for a second or two. When I drive up to a stop sign or red light, same...

('99 Cavalier, auto, 4 cyl) I have a leaking transmission coolant line, and the flare nut where that goes into the radiator is pretty corroded and frozen. The transmission end came off OK, with just a touch of heat. The problem is, the radiator has a plastic resevoir. So, ... - Has anyone...

Any of you guys use mechanics gloves while working on cars? Or rubber gloves? I've been thinking about buying a pair or two. I rarely work on cars when they're hot but I'd like to keep my hands a bit cleaner and from getting all cut & scraped up. Are the Mechanix brand any good? I've used...

in a warm / hot climate, because @ high rpm, vehicle will be moving @ high speed : the air cooling received by battery + alternator + inlet manifold ( usually heated by radiator coolant ) + exhaust manifold & pipe & muffler will increase torque. Only in a wind tunnel with air flow @ the same speed...

Has anyone had a problem with their honda accord headlights blowing all the time. We have had this problem for the past 4 months or so. We keep changing them, which isnt an easy job in itself but its costing a fortune and now looks like we may have to see an autoelectrician. Anyone heard of this or...

1992 honda civic ex all of a sudden, the tach reads zero at idle. works fine above idle. now what?

OK, I finally got the A/C working on my '90 Acura Legend...seems it needed just a slight shot of refridgerent. Took less than 1 oz. when the compressor kicked in. measured 51 degrees at the vent which is plenty cold for me. However, after running the air for 10-12 minutes, it peters out and blows...

The water moved vehicles in 2010 thanks to fuel cells… http://cooldreamcars.googlepages.com/water_fuel_cars_2010

I changed the timing belt on a 97 vw Golf 2.0, 5 speed. While doing this, the distributor cap hold down clamps broke (rusty) while double checking TDC. Got a used distributor that looks like new. Anyway, when I tried to start the car, would not start. I figured I had gotten the timing belt...

I have a very low mileage (23k) Acura Legend, 1990 which I have to get the A/C recharged on. Its still the old R12 system and I'd like opinions on whats involved in changing over to 134a? Easy? Expensive? Worth it? TIA Jay

2005 LS V6 with now 28,000miles. Last year at 22,000 I asked a reputable garage I use for alignments about having the fuel filter changed on my car above. After performing the alignment they looked up my car and told me the filter is actually in the gas tank and never needs a routine change. They...

I am missing the pump disc ball weight for my late 1970's Ford 2150 carb. Anybody know where I can get this small rod? Or the dimensions so I can fashion one? If not, what problems might I have if I run it w/o the pump disc ball weight? Thanks in advance.

What is involved in a tune up at a shop these days? They seem to want a fortune to do it. Is it really anything other than new plugs? They say they check the timing. But with modern crank angle sensors why would the engine go out of time? They say they "clean" the fuel system. Is this other...
