I've been very good as far as monthly and quarterly mainteance on my girlfriends '96 Suzuki Swift, and for the second time (3 months time period) after changing the air filter, I noticed the the air filter has a strong smell of gasoline, I don't know if that is normal or not. Anyone have any...

As I posted earlier, I think I will be tearing down the engine in my '55 Stude soon, not because there's any problem with the way it runs or oil pressure, but because it leaks far more oil than it burns and also because my friend has a steam cleaner/pressure washer that he's itching to try out and...

I am to unplug the battery negative and later put it back on. (to put in AUX audio input adaptor) Is there any precautions I should take notes of ? anything I should be aware of ? Or just "take it off/put it on" simple as that ? thanks

A Ford Explorer 2001 that takes a transponder key. Let's say you have no keys, what would it take to get a new key made? Is this only possible at the Ford dealers? How much roughly will it cost? Is there any workaround? Is it possible to break the steering lock and enable the ignition?

199 Isuzu rodeo. Turn signals just stopped working. They do not flash. Bulbs, lights work fine because Hazards flash in both directions as normal. I also check the fuse and it is fine as well. Any thoughts? It's probably an electrical problem in the turn signal stem or dash. I know that cleaning...

Finnally removed bumper stickers on a car I just bought and wonder if anyone can suggest a solvent to remove the sticky glue substance left behind without hurting the paint?.

I occasionally hear a howling/humming noise from the front right side of my Lexus ES330. The noise intermittently occurs only at a speed higher than 50mph. Moreover, although I'm not 100% sure, I only hear it when driving on certain highways/parkways. So, it seems that the front right tyre could...

Hi, first time poster on this group.... thought i'd stray away from some of the other groups/forums/boards and a general audience. Would it be a plausible idea to have a hard coating done on various engine internals? If you didn't know, Titanium Nitride is that golden film stuff you see on drill...

I was driving today and all of a sudden my oil pressure indicator went below the L. After a couple mins I could hear the valve train clicking. Stopping my oil level was ok, my temp ind ok, not burning any oil. When I start it back up I have oil pressure, but after about a mile, it goe s below...

Hi, new to this group. I've googled my question and came up with 1.2 million answers, but nothing really matching the question I have. I'm in the market for a new car and was looking at the high bred, gas-electric type. I'm wondering if the group has an overall favorite with dependability also...

Sorry for three posts in a row. Just got finished under the hood and its been awhile. Napa dude says they will mix fine and that they're actually "the same thing". I have Ester in the system now, its been retrofitted. Its a 1985 Corolla. Only reason i'm asking is because those e-z charge bottles...

My friend said that all car wash detergent is a marketing gimmick. He thinks any dish washing liquid is good enough, so long as the car is waxed a couple of times a year. So I guess it's fine to use dish washing liquid, so long as the car is waxed often enough? T B

My starter on my 1996 s10 2.2 auto has been starting to act strange. it turns over the truck fast when it works. When it does not, it either does not kick in and does spin or will kick in for a second or so and kick out before the motor starts. Can the solenoids on these starters be repaired?...
