I have a brief question that a person familiar with auto body work might be able to help with. I just bought an aftermarket fiberglass spoiler to fit my car and, to my surprise, it has no mounting holes to fasten it to the trunk lid. Ok, so I can easily drill a few holes in it. But I'm not sure I...

I have a 1989 Mazda 626 with 251K miles (and going strong). The clutch is fairly new with only 41K miles on it. Last week the clutch pedal started losing it's freeplay and now it barely has any left. It's sometimes hard to get into gear, particularly 1st and 2nd, as I really have to jam the pedal...

I come home, click the car alarm "on". Next morning the car alarm is "off". My wife berates me. Am I only thinking I've alarmed the car, or can they switch off? Thanks John btw - the company who made the alarm has gone belly up. And I did lose the chirp a year or two ago.

I bought a 95 grand prix a few months ago and only recently started trying out the remote start. It had been previously installed so I have no idea what all went into it other than the fact that it's Command Start brand. I also have no idea if it ever worked in the first place. The key for the...

Hi,Excuse me for interrupting you. I'm Alwen King,As a pursuer of "grid economy", I am very appreciated with its originality. I think "grid economy" will be a totally new advertising mode during Web 2.0 days. Therefore, I also prepare a website "www.virtualchristmas.net" to have a try. Maybe...

Thanks to all for the great information on the "possibly crosswired fuel injectors" after completing a valve job on my 1994 Olds, 3100 SFI, V6. Ok, so I started removing the bolts on the plenum, thinking that I had indeed miswired the injectors....when I noticed a loose spark plug cable on...

Hi, I'm an automotive noob, and I'm trying to figure out of my mechanic is telling me a load of crap or there is something really wrong with my car. First, they told me my transmission has some problems and the TCM (Transmission Control Module) is bad, and I have a TCC Circuit Malfuction. I'm...

I am thinking about buying a Prius. I know that it doesn't pencil out dollarwise, but it would be nice to be able to use the carpool lane (I am in CA). Anyone want to save me from bad decision? Another question: Are HID headlights worth it the bux, compared to modern halogens? I am middle aged...
