The car is a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX with four almost new all- season tires (Bridegstone Potenza RE960AS). I've tried driving it in the Sierras with Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S, which I didn't think was...

Hi, I drive 1996 Camry and the check engine sign got turned on. I went to a local Toyota dealer shop and they told me "Need EGR valve, Modulator and Vaccum switch valve $645.00" Also they said if not fixed, it will damage Catalyst something...which is really expensive. Is that true? Do I need...

So exactly how would a dry and wet compression test have shown the original poster that he had excessive bearing clearance relating to 3rd gear and it's associated syncro rings and sleeves? I don't get it. The complaint isn't excessive oil consumption or spark plug fouling, in fact it sounds...

I've been having some problems with my brakes, and I asked my mechanic if he would be willing to perform a "line-lock test" to help determine the problem. A line-lock test involves clamping off each brake line to keep brake fluid from flowing through. If all lines are clamped, the pedal should be...

I have a 2000 Ford Escort ZX2. When the heater is all the way up and it's blowing out warm air, it still doesn't heat up the car. And the air is just that. It's warm, not hot like almost every other car I have been in. Also, the water temperature gauge thing on the dash never rises above "C." It...

My '92 Mustang Convertible with a 5.0 and 5 speed pops out of reverse. Any ideas on what causes this and how hard it is to fix? Shifter stops are adjusted properly. TIA! -- Bob L. Lindenhurst, NY

I'm currently still working on the girlie's Corrado G60... reason for current thrash is a bad noise from some belt driven accessory, combined with copious amounts of oil throughout the intake piping, supercharger, intercooler, etc. I have removed a big square breather looking thing from the...

Hi, My 2001 Maxima has been at the dealership for two weeks and they can't diagnose the problem. Prior to bringing the car to the dealership, I had a problem with the car on 4 different occasions over the course of about a month. The car would start but wouldn't continue running under load. As...

I have a 200-4R tranny in a 1988 Olds and having problems with the lock-up converter. When cold for the first few miles with the selector in the D or D(O) position all is fine, but after that the converter will lock up every time it shifts into second, bogging the engine; no poop and terrible...
