and stayed on. I came on when the car was overheating because of a

4.6L Lincoln TC noise when engine is OFF by
[email protected]

for a while, there will be what sounds like a whirring or buzzing sound

gas guzzling and no leaks by
[email protected]
Hello
My 1991 Cutlass goes through gas like crazy lately with no smell of gas
or apparent leaks. I recently replaced the exhaust manifold and the
spring bolts do not form a perfect seal. Could this be tricking the
computer into running a super rich mixture. I have noticed this problem
a lot more...

Should I Purchase A Rebuilt Engine Or Repair Existing One? by
Steven C
I have a 1995 Isuzu Trooper with nearly 200,000 miles on it. Within
the last three years, I've replaced the water pump, timing belt, timing
belt tensioner, and those pesky spark plug well valve cover O-rings
that tend to leak like a sieve and flood the spark plug chamber. Per
the latter, I had...

new struts for corolla? by
Usual Suspect
What do I need to know before getting new struts for my corolla?
Do I need both rear struts if only one seems to be bad (cupping)?
Do I need 4-wheel alignment to be done afterwards?
Would you trust Goodyear to do this kind of job if you were me?

89 Camry - Temperature gauge spikes for a minute and then goes back down by
mino
So about a year ago the temperature gauge on my dash started spiking up
and then would go down real quick. Sometimes it stays up for a while
and sometimes it's just up for a quick second. Sometimes it just jumps

1997 Mercury Marquis wiper arm by
ksfair
Can anyone tell me how to replace the wiper arm, drivers side , on a 97
Marquis? There is a weird little gadget with a tab near the attachment
point, but I can't see how it works.
Better yet, any ideas on increasing the spring pressure on this arm to
eliminate a smear?

Geo Metro R wheel bearings keep failing by
JOHN D
I've replaced wheel bearings on the same rear wheel about 5 times. They only
last a few weeks to a few months. The first failure spun in the hub so I had
to replace the drum/hub. The spindle looks ok. The last time I got another
used hub, first one was new. I was thinking that some internal...

Question about reading computer codes on 89 Honda Accord by
Dan Ritter
I know that some cars have a way of getting a computer code reading from
doing something with the ignition and counting the blinking lights. Is
there such a thing for an 89 Honda Accord SEI? I think one of my
sensors has bit the bullet. In case someone has another idea what could
be causing this...

Front suspension noise in Saturn. by

We just test drove a '95 Saturn SL2 4 door.
Every time we drove it over a speedbump the front suspension made what
I can only discribe as a crunching sound.
Any ideas what that could have been?
