Hi- Just got a 1991 Dodge Shadow 2.5 L for free, 'cept it won't stay running. The guy who gave me the car said MAP sensor, so I replaced it with no results.Basically, the car, when cold, will fire up and run, sputteringly for a few seconds, and if you give it some gas, it seems like it's misfiring...

Hi a buddy brought me his 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup he says won't idle, check engine light is on. The truck is a 5.9L gas vin "Z". I ran the truck and it runs okay but won't idle unless you warm it up and race it a little. I plugged my trusty Actron scan tool into the aldl connector and retrieved...

Hi a buddy has a 2002 Dodge Dakota that won't start in his driveway. It has a V-6 and app. 37,000 miles on it. The fuel pump runs fine, 45 psi at the rail. I checked for spark at the coil, no spark so I swapped out the coil to no avail. Should I be looking for a sensor (crankshaft) of some sort? ...

I have a 1994 LaBarron GTC w/ a 3liter. My flashers and hazards both have stopped working and I cannot find where the flasher module goes anywhere! I have looked in - fuses (both under dash and in engine compt.), behind the kickplates on both sides, in the steering column, in the trunk, and under...

hey I just learned that my fuel pump is not long for this world. I want to do the replacement myself to save a buck or two. I have worked with fuel tanks and take all precautions. I have heard that there are aftermarket repair parts, and wonder if they will give the same result as a new whole...

Just got home from work and the radiator fan won't shut off. Pulled the 40A fuse and shut it down, but I'm thinking there must be a relay sticking. There isn't a relay in the relay/fuse panel under the hood. Can anybody help me? Short of taking the fuse out every time I turn it off, what can I...

I became aware of an Internet Archive "Way Back Machine" website the other day. www.web.archive.com In this website, you can search archived webpages and websites going back to the late 1990s. I mention this in respect to the prior Car and Truck News website, which was specifically...

4100 lbs is where the normal Chrysler Newports "titled" at in the middle 1960s and then grew to about 4200 lbs with the Fuselage '69-'73 C-body cars. Imperials were heavier. They gained another 100 or so pounds with the '74-'78 C-body cars. Seems that our fascination with 5-star safety ratings...

As a general rule, GM might take better care of their customers and use "Goodwill" to help pay for out-of-warranty (not significantly-so, however) customer repair expenses. At least, they have been known to try to help out rather than otherwise. As the FAQs state, building a good relationship at...

I just bought a new vehicle, and now I need to decide if I am going to keep the 91' Dynasty as my commute vehicle or if I am going to get rid of it. The Dynasty has transmission issues, but beyond that, it runs well. It has 120,000 miles on it. I am debating spending money to fix the...

Hi, I am leaving in northern california and I was considering buying a used car (to use a a second commute car) around $8000 untilI found this ad for brand new 2006 PT cruisers at $13000. Of course it is $5000 more dollars but it's a new car. I do not know anything about cars and actually do not...

Well, it was good enough to get banned .... like so many other Chrysler cars and engines, so it has a beauty that's more than skin deep. If you can't beat it, ban it. --

I was driving on the interstate yesterday and noticed my RPM gauge fluxtuating, so I pulled off the road, shut the car off, and tryed to restart it, it started but died after less than a second, now, I can hear the starter, but the car doesn't start, the battery is good, the voltemeter varified...

I have a 97 LHS and I was wondering if anyone kinew of a good site or place I could get some performance parts for it. My LHS has the same motor as the 300M so I think that any part for the 300M would work, but then again I am not sure. If anyone could give me any information on this I would be...

I have a 87 LeBaron that I have been working on. I need to find a rear door chrome molding. I have checked local junk yards and a few on the net but can not find what I need. Does any of you have any idea where I might find this molding? Thanks, Cabot Egan

Common sense sometimes has to be used as well as following specifications. I used to own a Corvair, and I made it a point to use AD ashless dispersant aircraft oil exclusively. These oils are not SAE rated nor recommended for automotive use. However, for decades, the Chevy Power manual recommended...

Ever seen one? What were they, Imperials? Make a cool band wagon...

One can comfortably dry one's hands a foot from the exhaust of a fourth gen Chrysler Turbine Car at idle, and on K-1 kero the smell isn't even a problem. As the power pedal is advanced, you will move away promptly, but you won't be burned. Peak EGT is probably 350 degrees, and would only be...
