Intermittant miss issue. My Briggs & Stratton engines are from the 1980's & I have found the Magnatron transistorised ignition is extremly reliable, but have cleaned carburators every 5 years from crap & getting a bit gumy. One them suffers from the zinc metal warping - effecting tank seal. I...

I have a 87 Toyota Corolla FX(not 16) with a very strange problem. If I set the idle to normal operating specs the car has a slight miss and will stall frequently. In order to keep the car running I need to set the idle somewhere over 1,000 rpm. However, setting it this high causes the engine to...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/06/16/ford.vehicles/index.html I'd say it's unbelievable, but it's not. Ford's got a long and, uh, glowing track record of this kind of stupid ****. What's novel about this one is the cause: this time it's not poorly-designed alternators or poorly-designed ignition...

Is there any way to manually shift this van? Its not worth putting in another tranny (this is the second one), but the engine is still strong (3.3l). I hate to sell it for parts. I can get it to shift into 3rd if I turn it off and on after it gets up to about 45 mph. (This gets old quick...

I have a small motor home. 25 feet. Got a flat, ourside rear, dually. Can only find a valve stem on the inside tire, so am I just missing (can't see) the stem on the outside tire, or is there some kind of 'equalizer' twixt the two tires. Living in the MH on selected and oft changed streets till I...

I am replacing the brake rotors in the 1990 Geo Metro. The rotors are behind the wheel hub, which can only be removed by taking the axle nut off, and using a slide hammer to pull the hub off the axle. I am not all that familiar with the use of a slide hammer. I bought a slide hammer...

I recently replaced upper ball joints on a '96 Dodge 3500 (1-ton) van. This vehicle uses pressed-in ball joints, and I replaced them with a standard C-frame tool. After a few months, one of the ball joints backed itself out (this is a poor design, IMO). I pressed it back in, and tack-welded it in...

Hi - The A/C compressor on my 96 Buick Skylark with 3.1 V6 squeals when A/C is turned OFF, which I interpret as a shot pulley bearing. With compressor clutch engaged, noise goes away, everything works fine. All the compressor placard says is "Harrison 153" and some info about the refrigerant and...

Has anybody tried those "Reflex" wipers sold at Canadian Tire on an 05 Accord? My Accord comes with a 26" and 18" wipers but the Reflex wipers go to a max of 24". Would that still work? Thank you

Hi All, Just bought a 98 Grand Prix. Everything on it is fine except the second day I had it, the front driver's side power window stopped working. What happens is that if you press the button in either direction, the interior lights will dim normally as if the car is giving the power to...

Anyone ever hear of 'Full' brand filters? I recently placed an order for an air and oil filter and got this brand I never heard of before. I can see that the air filter looks ok, but the oil fiter is a mystery to me. -------------- Alex

My car is a 1994 Buick Regal Custom, 3800 V6, 240,000km (150k miles). Since about 2 years, some coolant leaks from the intake gasket. At first I had to add some coolant once or twice a year, now I need to add a pint every 3-4 weeks. There is no trace of coolant in the engine oil. The cost to...

I bought a 1995 Ford Taurus back in February. It has a standard AM/FM (no casette) radio in it. The only control that works on the radio is the power button. There's memory, seek and volume controls on a dash-mounted panel that all work, however none of the controls on the radio itself work. I...

Anyone off hand know the size wrench (Torx ) that fits the 4cylinder "Fix it now or pay later"

If one were to mount a wheel to a hub by starting each lug with 2 turns by hand then tightening with an impact wrench equiped with a 90-100ft/lb torque stick (using star pattern or circular, or any other sequence), then following with a 100ft/lb torque wrench, is it possible that one side of...
