Can someone tell me what to disassemble to get the starter out of a '92 Paseo. I have it loose, but cannot see what will work for getting it out. I am told the car may be similar to a Celica. Thanks, Paul

I have a 1995 camry 3 liter v6 that drives smooth and idles smooth. I have noticed that when I put my tranmission into gear that it makes this really faint but audible knocking like a clunk clunk clunk clunk during idle at a traffic light. This knocking noise isn't apparent when driving and when...

I posted a couple-few weeks ago about my '82 Mazda 626 having intermittent issues with losing power under load - At that time, figured that the trouble was related to a dead or dying Alternator not putting enough juice to the battery, and therefore interfering with spark - Seemed to make sense,...

My '94 Daihatsu Mira has lost drive due to a clutch fault. Can anyone advise on whether the clutch can be removed/inspecteted in car or does the engine need to be removed. Any advice or tips on this and where to get techinal data or w/shop manual will be hugely appreciated. Steve.

The transmission seems to slip when going in reverse in my 1980 Chevrolet Caprice (OK going forward). Transmission fluid is OK. Is there anything one can adjust--or does the transmission have to be torn apart or replaced to fix? (I assume replacement from the junk yard would be...

MAKING MONEY I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right,...

I am wanting to get a newer vehicle and currently I have to park outside. DO cars last longer when parked inside? I am thinking of building a cheap pole barn just to park in. I would think it would be better for the car but maybe there is not alot of difference?

Hi, I just tested the O2 sensor on my 85 Chevy Caprice. It is the original sensor, with 368K on it, so I wasn't expecting it to be too great at this point. I used a digital voltmeter on it by disconnecting the pigtail, letting the car idle, and checking the voltage from the O2 sensor's pigtail...

can any one tell me a source of lash caps? 7mm stems, and anything from 1mm to 2mm thick...(0.040" - 0.080") many thanks Jon PS preferably in the UK but not essential

When I start the engine of my 96 Metro in the morning, it sounds like a tractor, lots of knocking coming from the engine. But after a few minutes, its fine, and you don't hear anything. Someone said it might be the fuel pump gone. This only happens if its been left all night, not when its only...

We just had our second child. I have an 89 f150 that I am thinking of getting rid of and getting somehting that can haul the kids around once in a while. I want something I can at least pull a dual axle trailer with. I like expeditions but with gas going up I was wondering what type of mileage...

I have a 1987 chevy caprice. Recently i gave it a fresh tune-up, new carburator, new module that goes underneath the distributor cap and rotor, and a new electrical fuel pump. The car still does the same thing. I go at a steady speed and when i decide to accelerate it more it stalls for about 3...

My battery was dead a few days ago so I took it to Kragen for a test. They gave me a new battery. I put the new battery in and the car started fine. The next morning, the battery was dead again. This never happened before. My stereo is plugged into my fuse box so I figured that might be causing...

I have a 92 Chevy Cavalier that has trouble starting. I am on my second starter replacement (with a used one) The first one cracked the housing the first time I started the car. The second one seems to "kick out" before the car starts. My question: If the starter kicks out and spins before the...

I just had a flat tire. I get out, open the Civic trunk and find a spare tire, a jack and a lug wrench. Then I reach inside to grab the spare tire, it's stuck. Somehow the tire is bolted down with some kind of a rabbit ear nut. No matter how hard I try to twist it, the rabbit ears will not...

Besides higher mileage I suspect there must be hidden costs or else there would be hybrids on dealers' floors. Is there a significant cost due to replacing batteries or something? Or are they just not ready for primetime? -- Reply in group, but if emailing add 2 more zeros and remove the...

I have a 96 Accord LX with automatic transmission. Has 4 cyl and 115K miles on it. Drained and replaced the trans fluid 1 1/2 months ago with Honda auto trans fluid. Tonight while driving home city/highway it would not go faster than 30 mph (3k rpm's) and prior to this some major slipping like...
