Tis the season for A/C questions... by
JM[_1_]
Hi all,
Just a quick A/C question for you. I have a 1999 Altima with air, and
although the air works, it seems like it's not quite up (or down) to 100%

GM 4.2L Vortec I6 - timing belt or chain? by
ray
(envoy, trailblazer)
Google is not not helping me... I'm pretty sure it's a chain, but I
might be buying a used Envoy, and there's lots for sale with 150,000km
(90,000 miles) which would be just under the 100,000km/60,000mile belt
replacement if it has one.

Ford automatic overdrive transmission by
[email protected]
I have a 1990 van with the OD transmission, E8OD. A while ago I
thought I should push the "disengage overdrive" button. I did, and now
the transmission will not go into overdrive. The light on the switch
stays unlit as well. Normally the light is "on".
I tried removing the switch, no change. ...

Hello,
I have a 1998 Honda Civic and my air conditioning seems a little weak.
I measured the air coming out and it measures 48F. I was wondering if
this is about normal, or a little off.
Thanks for your help.

of tachometer? How will I be able to use it?
I know that tachometer is used to show engine rpm and that one should

Difference between Camry 2002 and 2007? by
cimetiere
Hi!
I presently own a 4 cylinder LE Camry 2002 with 65 000 miles. Is it worth
upgrading for a 2007 LE version? Both specs seem to be very similar, unless
I am wrong?
Many thanks for your advice!!!
