As the subject says - I got the column apart (to replace the turn signal switch) - thats done, and I want to replace the lever/stalk too (wiper switch turns freely).. I pulled the main pin to disconnect the t/s lever from the collar - but I can't get the actual lever out from the switch part -...

I am very interested in buying a car from someone who has a lease on the car. They say that they would be able to payoff the car and get title in 10 days. How is that you typically deal with these types of things? Should I write them a check and just count on them to send me the title when they...

Is there much difference between the nissan 240sx s13 and s14 exhaust? Could a s14 fit on a s13

I have been reading about hydrogen generators that inject hydrogen into the combustion chamber to improve mileage. Anyone know if they work? They sound too good to be true but everything I read about them says they work. They start at about $700 and I would rather not get ripped-off if they are a...

I'll try to keep this brief: Wife comes in the house, says car won't start. I say impossible. I go out to car and confirm her observation...not even a click from the starter motor. I pop the engine hood and look at the built in hydrometer. Red Zoned. WTF? I put a charger on it, Error Code...

Threw a belt this AM when heading to work. Tonight got home to replace belt and check things out. As it turns out looks like the smog pump pully has started to wobble a little (why it threw the belt which in turn took out the outermost alt. belt) and the bearings are in the process of going out. In...

I have a weird noise when i go over a bump in my car. I don't think it's the shocks becuase it's not a squeek, so much as a rattle. Any idea on what it could be. The car drives straight as an arrow, and doesn't make noise when i'm turning. I'm leaning towards the struts. Thanks -- Message...

best anti-RF ignition wiring TYPE background: I am getting my vintage AM/FM Delco reconditioned with the intent of getting that "cruis'n feeling" I will also add non-vintage sound deadening, and other electrical/static improvements noted here and elsewhere. Thanks for the help. My query in a...

I have a 1970 Cougar (351c w/FMX tranny) and a 1970 Cutlass (350 w/ TH350 tranny I think). Which one is easiest to add an overdrive transmission to and what does it take? Looking for most inexpensive path. I know new driveshaft or modify length but are there bolt ons for the back end of the...

Did a dumb mistake this morning. Mixed up the 10w-40 bottle with the transmission fluid bottle and accidently poured motor oil into my Avalon's transmission. Put about half a cup in (a cup at the very, very most) before realizing that the fluid was brown, not red. How bad is this? Must I have...

2007 Saturn Ion rental car I rented an 07 Ion a couple of weeks ago. Put on 993 miles driving around Dallas-Ft. Worth-Houston, Texas, usa. It was a typical rental Ion with power windows and cd player. Here are my opinions after spending a week and 993 miles in it: Summary: The car is dangerous...

Can anyone tell me the spark plug gap for this car?

My 1994 Hyundai Excel, automatic transmission, is making a soft clicking/rubbing noise when I accelerate--it does not happen when turning. It is stronger when I am going up a hill or accelerating more strongly. I am assuming that it is the CV joint. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Just a quick question.... Seems that in a lot of cases when working on Fords, many procedures require a special tool to uninstall or install a certain component or align a mechanism for assembly, etc. Note the recent thread about the Mondeo brakes. Years ago, I recall buying a set of tools once...

I've been installing a tachometer in my protege for about a week now. All the wires are hooked up to the car except the important one, the one that reads the rpm from the engine. I'm nut exactly sure where to find it, and i've tried about 3 different wires so far. The wire i'm on now is giving me a...

I turn the key and as soon as I remove my hands to change the gear and the key turn towards me the car turns off. I have to keep the key turned in order to keep it on. I can't drive like this. What may be wrong with it. I think it may be a shortage in the ignition. can someone help me with this...

Anyone have a very simple digital tachometer schematic handy? I want to put a 4 digit LED tach into my van. Resolution of 50rpm is fine. Fed by the TACH output of a six cylinder GMC on distributor coil.
