I have an '89 Cressida and I've been looking into DIY wheel alignment, rather than tithe $80 to the local tire place and just for the enjoyment of doing it. It seems crucial that you have the ability to compare things to the centerline of the vehicle, but the things I've seen are a bit vague on...

Was pondering some stuff on thermal efficiency yesterday. Got to wondering about something. Can one convert specific fuel consumption to thermal efficiency? Seems to me if one takes energy content of gasoline and expressed it in horsepower hour units, and replaced the pounds with the hp-hr...

Hi all, The AC on my 91 Buick Park Avenue shuts down after about 30 seconds. I have to reset the HVAC (hold down OFF and WARM) to get it going again. When it shuts off, it automatically switches to the ECON mode, where you get no cold air. What could cause this? The system is full of freon...
