I had my B2600 engine (1991 truck) rebuilt at 95,000 miles (water leak, cracked head). Spent $ 2,100. Upon rebuild (I did the R&R) it immediately used a lot of oil. I pulled it back out and the re-builder tore it down and told me he got some 'mis-marked' rings, and therefore some were...

My 95 Cherokee makes a train horn sound and vibrates at the drier occasionally. I had the unit serviced (complete evacuation and charged to spec). Any ideas what the problem is? Originally, I was told that I had overcharged the system at home which caused this. D in TN

I have a 1997 Buick Skylark Custom, that I've owned since it was about a year old, with a 2.4L engine with about 179,000 miles on it and for about 2 years now it has been stalling when I accelerate from a stop or slow coast and intermittently when coming to a stop from freeway speeds. I've had the...

I have a 1997 Geo Metro. One of the rocker panels is badly rusted. You can't really see it from the outside, but I'm pretty sure that a 4' x 4" section is rusted on the inside. If it can last for another 4 years or so, that would be acceptable to me. I'm coming up for a saftey on the car and was...

I have a high-mileage 99 chevy Tahoe and I've determined (mostly due to loud clanking noises) that the A/C compressor has failed and needs to be replaced. Ok, so I've removed the compressor as well as the accumulator, the front orifice tube, and the rear A/C unit expansion valve. I didn't see any...

I'm fixing up a '76 Chevy Malibu with a 350. Until a month ago, it had sat undriven for about 3 years. Before that, it would smoke a little at startup then would be fine. I figured it was valve seals. Recently I've unclogged the PCV valve, replaced/reconnected vacuum lines, put in a new...

Hello, i have a 1968 ford 302 and i'm having a little trouble with the timing. First of all, the engine was recently rebuilt and i just got it running. I cant get it to run well unless it is about 30 degrees advance, where it pulls about 15 inches of vacum. According to the cam manufacture it...

While pulling into my driveway a couple of days ago, our 2002 VW Jetta 1.8 Turbo--battery light came on, and then the car died. I initially thought the battery was dead, but have tried to jump it off to no avail. It almost acts as though it is in some type of security mode. I disconnected the...

Good morning all, I bought an GM Aveo 2004 in Jan 06, with a remote starter already installed. Long story short, I had a third party mechanic remove the key that was in the remote starter as I had to submit to GM to re-program the 3 keys at the same time. Now I need to put the key back at the...

I have a 2002 Ford Ranger that doesn't have a real oil pressure gauge - it has one of those "fake" gauges that always shows either zero or half scale. The oil pressure has always behaved normally (i.e. it's not zero :-) until a couple weeks ago when we took it for about a two hour drive. It was...

OK, guys, here is a question. Mazda 626 with manual transmission has the clutch pedal that does not always come back (seems to just stay stuck). A bit of background. The winter before the last one the clutch pedal would get very difficult to press, while it was the freezing temperature outside....

I have a 1988 Volvo 740 GLE Wagon. It runs very rich. It does something like 18mpg or so in the city and around 23mpg or so on the highway. I changed the O2 sensor, the spark plugs are relatively new, the gas pressure regulator, the fuel filter. I have tried additives to clean injector but all...

Hi all, I'm looking to repair an exhaust problem with my Ranger. I was wondering if someone can tell me what to ask for. My catalytic converter looks good, and my muffler looks good. However the coupling between the pipe from the catalytic and the pipe from the muffler is totally rusted away. ...

Hey all, Car is a 1986 Honda CRX. Where should I start looking for trouble if pushing the A/C button does _nothing_? No increased idle, no condenser fan, and obviously no cooling. the only thing that happens is the little "A/C" light turns on. Thanks James

I have a 74 Chevy 350, with a TH350. Everything was working great, except I noticed a vacuum leak in the carb body. So I change the carb first thing the next week. Start the car real quick for a sanity check, then turned it right off to go grab my tools to set the idle. Now car will not start. ...

Hi, I have a 2000 Daewoo Nubira, and it has an overheating problem. It overheats on the freeway, after about 10-15 miles of driving at sustained freeway speed. When exiting the freeway, the gauge creeps up another couple of notches when I come to a full stop, then cools down to 1/2 way on the gauge...
