Electrronic keys- a rant by
Don Stauffer
Ah, for the good old days when all my keys would fit in a keycase. I
had found that leaving keys loose in my pocket wore holes in the
pockets, so long used a key case.
The keys for my last two cars are electronic, and WAY to big to fit in a
key case. My Prius key is all-electronic (no...

The best oil change shop I ever seen by
loron
I'm on the road quite often because of my job. Lately I was in the Easley,
SC area. My car needed an oil change and there was a shop close to where I
was working so I decided to go there.
Wow! What a service. That is the best I ever had. I was shocked since all
the technician are female. They are...

Does anybody here actually know anything about cars? 7M-GE Supra by
Hachiroku $B%O%A%m%/(B[_2_]
No, not you guys in rec...
1988 Supra, 7M-GE. I got it with ~177,000 (the speedo's busted, SURPRISE!)
and have put 10-15,000 miles a year on it for 5 years. So we're looking at
~230,000 miles.
When I got it the oil pressure was on the low side, and it has been
getting lower and lower. It's a...

Would a bad sparkplug wire cause: by
[email protected]
Hi Everyone,
I've had a problem for the past 3 years and it's gotten worse
as the time has gone on. It's a 1997 Buick Riviera 3.8 supercharged
engine. Two problems are it will just stall while sitting at a red
light (sometimes it catches itself though) and second, at around 160
degrees the car...

Hi -
I own a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara (and have owned it for over two
years). Recently, it has started to emit a really bad burning smell

My car NEVER did this before and just starting...

Wheel alignment - how do I know they really fixed it? by
[email protected]
My question is pretty much summarized in the subject line.
So, you drop off your car at a tire shop for wheel alignment. How do
you know they really performed the service? They may have not even
touched your car, then gave you some bogus alignment reading printout.
1-2 weeks later the tires are...

I have a 69 Manx with a fresh 1915cc that I built last year. So when the engine was built I used an empi progressive carb and I can’t install the heat risers because my exhaust doesn’t have the port for them. I believe that my sputter may be caused by condensation building up. How can I get...

So this weekend some friends and I are going to attempt replacement of front rotors and pads on a 2011 Mazda 2 Sport.
I took the car to a mechanic a while back. He reported that there was a lot of rust on the rotors, and the pads had very little (perhaps 5%) material left. The rust is likely the...

It's a 70 chassis with a 69 Solex 30 PICT 2 carb on a 1600 74 motor.

It is noticeable when our 1994 T&C van 2wd with 88,000 miles down
shifts to 1st gear. We never noticed this before and lately it seems to
down shifts hard to 1st. When I say hard, it's like a clunk sound. When
the other gears down shift, it is not that noticable...very smooth.
