I see lots of folks who claim that putting an amount of methyl hydrate in the tank prior to an emissions test, can help lower HC/CO I am considering giving it a try on my older vehicle with a car that is giving me fits being just barely over the edge on both HC and CO, but believe it or not, I am...

I'm wondering about the feasability of recreating the appearance of classic American autos, like the '57 Chevy & such; but with lighter materials and hybridized engines. Imagine driving a '48 Studebaker -- but getting 50 miles to the gallon. That's what I'm talking about. The bodies of immortal...

Buying a new Chrysler van, and the salesman was tauting a new "alloy" that he said Daimler developed. He called it an alloy, but the description seems to indicate a laminate, plastic on steel. I am assuming it is a single layer of each. He said it provides both corrosion resistance and sound...

I parked the '67 Toronado outside jusat before the temperature got below freezing about a month ago. It was above 50 degreees, so I decided to drive it today. It started right up, just needed some power steering fluid. It ran fine all day, but started hesitating on the way to work tonight. It...

Alright, here's what I'm getting at: currently, the car I'm driving before I get my liscense is an in-line 4 cylinder. Now, just say that each cylinder has a displacement of .5 liters for each type of 4 cylinder(v, inline, boxer etc.), would they all have the same RPM? Or does the crankshaft have...

Top ten all american sports cars http://mailone.blogspot.com/2007/08/ten-all-american-sports-cars.html

The 1889-90 flu pandemic was the first pandemic to spread around the world, thanks to railway and steamships. Were automobiles just for the rich elite way back then?

Just want to confirm the procedure to jump a battery - connect the 2 positives (red), then the negatives (black). Then disconnect starting with the black? For some reason, I had it in my mind that you connect the black first to prevent an "open ground", but I guess I am wrong. Appreciate any...

On one hand, I feel like I'm just asking for trouble.... Slowly over the last few years I've nurtured a desire for a MKIII Toyota Supra- 1986.5-1992 model years. Specifically I want an all-original, unmodified white one with a Targa Top, turbocharged engine and 5spd transmission. So now...

Hi, Today I replaced the six spark plugs of my 94 Ford Taurus. However, when I stop for red lights, the car shakes every one or two seconds. Does anybody know the reason? Could it be that I didn't adjust the gap? Thanks, Wei

My '92 Mustang Convertible with a 5.0 and 5 speed pops out of reverse. Any ideas on what causes this and how hard it is to fix? Shifter stops are adjusted properly. TIA! -- Bob L. Lindenhurst, NY

Hi We have an Honda Odyssey minivan with an Aluminum engine. My spouse had an animal hit that caused some front end damage (bumper etc). It also damaged the radiator to leak and she drove the vehicle (normal town driving 30-50 mphs speeds) for about another 150 miles over 3-4 days. When I came...

Mark A., again, your thinking is very old-fashioned when it comes to comparing 0w-30 to 5w-30. As I said, you should consider doing some current reading about the 2 viscocities. Dr. A. E. Haas, a Florida physician and surgeon who has researched fluid dynamics for decades, has written the...

Some time ago I had a sudden drop in mileage. At about the same time, I had the first ever CEL code on my car, a 2002 Buick Century V6. The code was P0442 http://www.obd-codes.com/p0442 which is "Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak)" I used to get about 23 mpg, now I...
