2000 Buick lesabre ABS & traction light by
BLB
Brake job was done on the car. Now once the car is put in gear, and
starts down the road, the ABS light comes on at the top of the gauge
area, and the TRACTION OFF light comes on at the left of the gauge
area.
Was a code set by replacing the brake pads & rotors? If so, How do I
erase it?

A/C fan not working on 2000 Sienna by
J
My 2000 Sienna's front A/C fan is not working properly. There are four
fan speeds on the dial and the first three are not working (no fan
movement at all). The highest speed works so it is not the fan motor.
A/C is working fine and the Rear fan is working fine too.
My guess is to change the Front...

Does speed-shifting blow up engines? (Little problem) by
frank wight
I took my dad's old dump truck out into the field and managed to get
the
rear wheels spinning at 70 mph-- while standing still.
Trouble is, the rear tires got traction and the whole truck got
airborne---
leaping and jumping across the meadow. It really was a handful, trying
to regain control.

Good soap to clean car oil & grease from hands by

I've always used Lava or scouring powder to scrub the oil and grease from my
hands after working on a car. However, I recently bought several bars of
soap at a garage sale that strips oil & grease off immediately and does not
leave my hands dry of natural body oil. The soap is called "Don Maximo"....

Using a duty cycle meter to measure wind resistance by
Old Wolf
I know a guy who wanted to determine the optimal speed for
his car, to avoid wasting gas due to wind resistance from
going unnecessarily fast.
He attached a duty cycle meter to one injector, and then set
his car to cruise control at various speeds (presumably
on a flat road and no wind), and noted...

My 1993 Aerostar (170,000 miles) rack & pinion has been leaking power
