Is there a way to read the diagnostic codes on a 2001 Chevy Pickup without an OBD-II reader? Several previous vehicles would blink the codes to you if you turned the key on/off/on/off/on/off rapidly, or pushed the right combination of radio buttons, etc. My truck (34000 miles) has been hard to...

What it's doing: In neutral and only in neutral the engine stops, uhh, working. The engine stalls....

Mechanic recommends replacing motor mounts, about $700 to replace two of the three. My father in law recommends just ignoring the shaking, or putting it in...

It'll crank & crank and won't start.. It has a code 22 (coolant temp sensor). Sensor & plug have been replaced. Still nothing. If you disconnect the collant temp sensor plug it'll start for 3-5 seconds and run at about 2400 rpm, then die out. Computer has also been replaced. Any...

Just found this problem, engine light on showed a misfire. Had shop double check all of the injectors and fuel pressure, all good. Install a new fuel filter. Then did a new plugs. Thought it might be a spark plug wire, installed a know good one, no fix. Then swapped with the one next to it,...

Hi all.. New here.. I have been working on my 86 Trans AM for the last two years.. a few questions have come up. One is I dropped a 76 2 bolt 350 in and trashed the 305. The 350 came out of either a truck or a vette. My question is will the 86 mechanical 305 fuel pump work on the '76 block?

'99 Cavalier. I got the tank out. To extract the limiter valve assembly, the book calls for a J43288, and I seem to have misplaced mine. It doesn't come free when I turn it by hand. The body is kind of soft plastic. Can I use (large) pliers on this, or can I tap one of the tabs with...

The compressor still gets no voltage. Is there some sort of A/C relay WAC switch that controls voltage to the compressor? I...
