Hello, Not too automotive sharp, so would be grateful for some advice on this. My son has a 2005 Honda Accord with 175K on it now. Dealership just told him that the "Heat Shield," and the "Rear Heat Shield" are 90 % gone. Guess there are apparently two heat shield in question ?

Looking for some information on old Trico wiper blades, specifically those used on old Corvettes and Studebakers. I have gotten to the point where I have determined that the original blades for 63-66 are a PR-15 or PR-15-W and don't know what the diff. between them is. Does the "W" denote...

I've been breaking down and building engines my whole life. Why can't I find a man who appreciates this? I just want to find a man who would enjoy working on cars with me on the weekends before we drag them.... Is that too much to ask for?

Since the passenger airbag went off on my kid's '95 Bonneville he's replaced the dashboard and seats. He picked up a clean console dash he liked at the boneyard, and bucket seats. His split bench seats are in my garage. Next week he's going to fit the driver's Pontiac seat into my '97 Lumina,...

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...

Half -full gas tank acts as if there is no gasoline left in it i.e. when car is started it either stalls as if there is only enough gas to run for a few seconds or doesn't start at all , also when i add extra gallon or two of gas everything works well car starts and drives w/out any problems. Fuel...

I'm building this thing called a treadle hammer and would like to know if I could use a power steering system to give me some assist. First, a treadle hammer is basically a foot-powered device used by blacksmiths to provide a third hand and some extra hitting power over a hand hammer. You push down...

Awl-- How is it/why is it these various groups seem very willing to take a vehicle, almost regardless of its condition? What's in it for them, when sometimes you couldn't *give* the vehicle away? Occasionally, you see fairly aggressive advertising--which proly isn't cheap either--for our old...

HI I have a 1992 Honda Accord. The ABS light has started to come on. If I start the car, and dont drive it does not come on but after about 30 seconds of driving it comes on and stays on. I followed the instructions in another post and used a paper clip to short the connector by the passenger...

I was looking at some new lawn mowers yesterday at Wal Mart and Lowe's.Why is it Briggs & Stratton doesn't list the horsepower rating on lawn mower engines anymore? They list the foot pounds of torque instead of the horsepower.When I look at a lawn mower, I want to know how much horsepower it...

Could anybody tell me how difficult it would be to cut a severely clogged cat that's also rattling out of of a 2" exhaust system using a hand-held utility saw with a metal blade, assuming there's enough room to operate? And if that's not to difficult, I'd also like to know how difficult...

I have a leak in my radiator on my 97 Accord with 165K. I have done other repairs on my car and I am considering attempting this on my own. Especially when my dealer want $500 installed. I have looked at my Honda service manual and it seems straight forward. Basically: Drain coolant. Remove all...

Question : what is the proper way to clean battery terminals and leads that aren't making a good connection? Last week, after charging my battery when it was flat, I noticed a lot of that bluish-white salt stuff built up in the negative battery lead. I cleaned it off and reattached the lead, and...

Was planning to go out of town the other day, and my battery in the 97 Dodge Custom Van was dead as hell. In my haste, I checked all the interior lights, etc, and put the charger on it overnight. The next morning, the charge indicator on the charger indicated low, but I took a reading with a...

Will dead seals in the turbo cause excess oil to accumulate on the intake side of the turbo and "foul" the mass air sensor ? related question: engine revs good (albeit slightly) to about 1200 rpm then dies as it tries to go higher. If you can feather the throttle to get it past 1200 or so, it...

I have a '93 Mazda MX3 that shudders when idling; it doesnt seem to affect performance, but I wonder if this is a common condition, and if anything can be done about it. I took it to a mechanic and he replaced the motor mounts, which didnt help at all, but cost...
