"Cash for clunkers" -- charitable donations of cars plummet by
Percival P. Cassidy[_2_]
Charities are reporting a great reduction in the number of automobiles
being donated. In some (many?) cases, charities were reconditioning
donated clunkers for use as basic transportation for people to get to
jobs, and in the process training other people in basic automobile
repairs to enable...

Misfiring Town and County 3.8L by
MASSMINI
I have a '03 Town and Country 3.9 liter w/ 50K miles which just started
misfiring. It runs rough, exhaust sputters and smells, and power is
low. But it doesn't stall. Check engine light is on and I've read
codes of P0300 (random misfires) and P1684 ("Driver 5 Line 4" - no idea
what this means). ...

'99 Intrepid - Dealer Stripped Oil Pan Drain threads? by
officehelp1981
I went in to have the oil changed in my '99 Dodge Intrepid. The
mechanic told me that the threads were stripped on my oil pan when he
pulled the plug out. At first he told me that I would have to have a
new oil pan. After some research on the Internet, I found that it
might be possible to...

Stalls after fixed time - second go 'round by
Tom Del Rosso
Last week I posted about the 1992 Acclaim (4 cyl, 124k miles) that stalls
after exactly 20 minutes at highway speed. Anything over 40 mph seems to do
it.
My mechanic couldn't test drive it long enough (he's not very near a
highway) to recreate the problem. He said the hall effect sensor had...

Grand Caravan 93 3.3 by
ncs
Car died last night and I had it towed to the dealership. They diagnosed it
having an internal short in the PCM. They did get it started and but could
not guarantee for how long, they said I might hit a bump and it'll quit
again, so I'm thinking it might be a bad wire, loose connection.
Can...

Brakes squeal!!!! by
Dan
I have a '99' Intrepid. I had the rotors turned last year and they rusted
and then"peeled" a layer off. Not sure I understand why, I have never had
this happen before. Anyway, I replaced rotors on the front and installed new
"anti-squeal" ceramic pads. Well, they squeal at low speeds and when...

fuel system troubles by
Robert Reynolds
1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager 3.3 flex fuel model...
I've had some trouble with this van's fuel delivery. The engine doesn't
idle. It can be kept running only at a higher throttle setting. Also,
it makes clouds of unburned gasoline from the exhaust.
I found that after running it for a while,...

96 LHS problem by

Hello,
My sisters '96 LHS with a 3.5l and 133000 mi. was running fine until a fill
up. She says she was going down the interstate and the car began coughing,
and missing, until it finally coughed big and died; no more than 10 miles
down the road from the fill-up. It would not re-start. I suspected...

Consumer Report's Bulb Test by
Richard
The recent issue tests after market bulbs, including the GE NightHawk and
the Sylvania bulbs. Their results were inconsistent depending upon the car
lamp in question.
I found that the NightHawk did give me a boost in my 04 Town and Country and
the GE/Toshiba inferred bulbs improved my 98 RAV4 much...

chip for 2005 300C Hemi? by
Ritz
A friend of mine was just given (yes, GIVEN) a new 300C Hemi. I haven't
paid much attention to Chrysler since I sold my 300M, but he's asked me
if anyone produces a "chip" for the '05 hemi.
If anyone has a lead on non-vaporware companies with performance-tuned
chips for this car/engine, I'd...

High Idle 4500 RPM by
Michale
We have just replaced the distributor in my wife's 1996 Sebring
Convertible.
Now when we start it up, it goes to 4500 RPM on the idle. I am not sure
what our mph speed is at idle, as we have no Speedometer (it's dead), but I
would estimate it at around 40mph or so.
Any assistance would be most...

'93 Grand Voyager crank, no start by
SBlackfoot
My father's '93 Grand Voyager (3.0L, auto, 178k kms) decided not to start
today when he really needs it (it has been converted to a wheelchair van for
my brother long ago, a real lifesaver to say the least). She'll crank over
all day but won't catch. I do hear the fuel pump running for a few...
