1992 Buick Lesabre, Please Help!! by
Dannapski
The car has been has been having a hesitation,
when i took it to the shop the guy said it was
a problem with a Position Sensor Magnet Interrupter. He then told me that
the parts were cheap but the labor was about $300+.
I need to know, is the $300+ dollars on the level or am I being taken.
Thanks

Traffic control in Illinois: red wave? by
bat
Hello,
Living in NW Chicago suburbs, I notice that in the recent years the traffic
lights seem to begin working in a mode that I would call "red wave",
contrary to the "green wave" system that ensures green light on all
intersections to a vehicle that moves along the street with the right...

How to remove a stripped timing tensioner bolt? by
Ryan Underwood
Ok, so disassembling everything for my head gasket replacement WAS going
well, in fact all too well, so fate had to do something drastic. Got
everything off except the intake manifold and cam sprocket. I go to
slack the timing belt, and the bolt head on the tensioner is COMPLETELY
messed up. It...

FWD Buick 3800 and Chevy 2.8.. same bellhousing? by
[email protected]
Hello, just wondering who can confirm or deny that these would be the
same. Having googled through the NG, some people say yes some say no.
I've got an 88 Park Avenue that the damned 440T4 gave up on. There's a
low-mile 440T4 for sale close to me, but it was from a 2.8 application.
Any ideas as...

My speedometer/odometer (Electronic Dash) went out and now the
transmission shifts hard. I narrowed it down to the vehicle speed
sensor, but I can't find it. There is a sensor on the rear
differential, but it completely different from the new VSS I have in my
hand. I assume it is an ABS sensor. I...

Chalmers FP40 forklift. The Allis uses an old Delco Remy 10DN

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...

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...

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...

Hi -
I own a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara (and have owned it for over two

Taking pictures of a cylinder without removing the head? by
Dennis
Hi. I remember seeing an ad about a year ago for an inexpensive fiber
optic type gadget that allowed you to take pictures of inaccessible
places. For example, they showed a picture of one being lowered
through a spark plug hole to take digital pictures of the inside of an
engine cylinder. I don't...

Jc Maxwell
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...
