Need some help! by [email protected]
Ok, I'm going to try and be short and to the point. I have a 1981 Toyota Corolla with the 1.8L 3TC engine and I'm trying to understand an issue that is confusing to me. Now this car is completely stock and has all the U.S.federal smog systems in place. A year ago I moved to California and had to...

car accelerates too slow even if I floor the gas pedal by Charles
Hi the My 96 Suzuki Esteem recently developed a very bad power loss. When it is parked I have no problem to rev the engine to 3000-4000 rpm and exhaust pipe doesn't seem to have restricted flow. However, when on the road, especially on an upgrade, it struggles very bad to accelerate. I don't...

Toyota Sienna starting problem by [email protected]
The other day after the car sat for a week, I started it to back it out of the garage. I then restarted it 2 hours later and pulled it back in. The next morning, the car just would not start, just cranked and cranked. I finally got it started later in the day after about a minute of cranking,...

I was driving my 98 Contour in the latest snow storm here in the NE, had the heater blower going full blast and someone pulled out in front of me on a snow covered road and when I hit the brakes the ABS kicked in and suddenly both ABS and the heater blower ceased. I looked under the hood in...

HEATER PROBLEMS by [email protected]
I wonder if somebody could give me some advice about a problem that I'm having on the heater and defroster on my 1970 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. When I turn on the heater or defroster they blow cool to lukewarm air, and the interior of the car fills with smoke. The obvious answer to is the heater...

Muffler patch to withstand backfiring? Or pressure relief valve? by Henry
My oval muffler has a 1 inch crack on outside probably due to occasional backfiring on deceleration. I would like to patch it but I am guessing that the very best patch I can make will not long withstand the backfiring. So I was thinking to maybe put something on there that would block the crack...

Power Window Sticking - 96 Chevy Pickup by bob
Having trouble determining why my driver's side power window sticks in the up position (96 Chevy K1500). The first time I took apart, I thought one of the rollers was binding in the track. I looked like it could get cocked in the wide spot at the end of the track (flared a bit to ease assembly...

88 Prelude Front Shock Fork Bolt Seized by [email protected]
When confronted with this problem I googled and did not find a clear solution, but found several post describing the same thing. I guess it's a common problem to have the pinch bolt that connects the shock/strut fork to the steering knuckle seize in the bushing. This bolt needs to be removed in...
