I have a Nissan Stanza 1991. It passed Emission tests since I got it in 2001. But this year it failed in all the three tests NOx, HC, and CO. The car has 197K+ on it. I change the O2 more than a year ago (I got the BOSCH universal O2 sensor on it). Oil was due to be changed by the time of the...

Everyone I asked thought my car was running on three cylinders, so after replacing the spark plugs and the engine still running very rough and with low power, I decided to figure out which cylinder wasn't firing. I pulled out the plug wire furthest right, the engine sputtered and aaaaaalmost died,...

My '97 venture van losses first gear after driving for a while (20 +/- miles). Once the it has a chance to cool down first gear comes back (every morning). What's up?

I took my 04 Durango in for a 30,000mi service. The maint.log recommends several items of which I can do myself - such as oil change/filter, front and rear diff. fluid, and air filter. I had my local NAPA shop do the following: spark plug replacement(check first), PVC, tire rotation, and tranny...

I have a 1994 Protege DX (SOHC)5 Speed that idles very rough at a stop as well as bucking as gears are changed. This happens most noticeably when AC is on. Turn AC off at a light, and rough idle stops immediately. The car when first started in the morning and AC on, will not buck or rough idle...

I have a chevy s 10 pickup v6 2.8l that i have been having problems with. the truck wont pass smog was way off charts so gave it a new oil change and spark plugs. also adjusted the carburator. it now passes on everything but Co2 at hi speed 2800 rpm. 2.69% 1.2% is what is needed to pass. can anyone...

I think rating fuel consumtion for comperasion purposes can be misleading. Wont a 3.5 Liter car will consume less fuel in high speeds compares to 2.5? Where can I find answers or charts that show fuel consumtion vs speed for various engine sizes? Also, what would be the RPM when an automatic gear...

how often do you maintain, clean (or perhaps replace) your K&N airfilter? under average conditions, say 15k miles? is the "approved" K&N oil media the only suitable one to use or are there alternatives?

Hi all, I have a bit of an interesting problem with my camry. First off, it's an 1990 camry automatic v6. Right now I can't start my car... This is my problem! I turn the ignition key on and i get nothing. The car won't turn over, there are no dash lights that come on, nothing! The inside...

The driver's window on my Suzuki Vitara is very slow in mid-range going up. Sometimes it even stops and must be manually assisted. Going down is no problem. In order to inspect the tracks and possibly lubricate them and any worm gear involved, I tried to remove the door panel. I cannot remove...

I have a 1990 Plymouth Sundance, bought it new, have had it for 16 years, it's getting a little long in the tooth but I've kept it up mechanically and it's a good "running around town" car. A couple of weeks ago, the air conditioning cut out. I took it to my mechanic and learned that what had...

I got two cars with the exact same problem. One is a 1987 Subaru wagon and the other one is a 2003 Subaru Baja. The wipers on both of these cars skip when it's raining. If the windshield is dry, they don't skip. Sounds weird to run wipers when it's not raining but I'm just saying when the rain...

'99 Cavalier. I'm actually trying to replace the gas tank. The pressure line has a plastic "quick disconnect" on the inlet side of the filter. After many hours of cleaning and screwing around, I broke the outside tabs off. Oh ****. Is there any way to extract the locking mechanism after the...

Got a question for someone who lnow about auto tires out there. I recently had to get new tires on car and when I asked the tire person about what to keep the pressure at he said 30 PSI. When I mentioned that the tires called for 44 PSI he said that you go by what the vehicle calls for which is...

How often do garages and quick lube places wrongly put transmission fluid into the engine or drain the transmission* when they're supposed to drain the engine? *pan has drain plug

hey there, i test drove a 300d today and the ride was great. the interior is in pretty good shape; the woodgrain has the protective cover peeling. the right front door doesn't open from outside, the driver window has problems going up, and there is a piece of trim missing from the right side. the...

Hi a friend of mine recently purchased a 2002 Ford Taurus SE 3.0L SOHC (Vin 2) with 75,000 miles. Prior to some normal PM, replacing the plugs and filters, servicing the transmission, the car sometimes stumbles and faulters, stalling when coming to a complete stop. Addressing this no-code...
