I have a 1986 Plymouth Voyageur that is in need of a trans. It's got a 4-cyl auto. The damn thing doesn';t have enough power to get out of it's own way. I'm thinking I'd like to find a donor vehicle with a 2.2 turbo or the likes, and drop the whole works in. Can anyone out there tell me what I...

Greetings, I've got a '92 Festiva, with fuel injection auto trans, that has no power going up hills. It acts like it's "dogging out". It's ok on level ground, but when you take off, or go uphill, it loses all power. It's better at higher RPM's The former owner took off the cat to see if that was...

My 2000 Malibu has stiffness in the steering and also a noise when turning. It's not really a squealing noise, it's more like the noise you get when wiping a window...if that makes any sense. I have noticed stiffness in the steering for over a year now. It hasn't really gotten anyworse. I'm...

1986 Pontiac Grand Am, maual, 5-speed. This model has a safety mechanism where you normally have to engage the clutch or the starter won't crank. If you mash the clutch down only 1/2 or 2/3 way, the engine wouldn't crank; you had to press it almost to the floor, but not quite.. And for years this...

subject says all... also what is the size of the crank pulley that drives the alternator? I have a 12SI alt. on my '55 Stude and it seems to be marginal at idle (spec is 550 RPM in neutral) Trying to figure out if I have an alternator problem or just need a bigger pulley. thanks, nate --

Well the trees are turning green and the snow's finally gone, so that means it's time to put the snowblower away. After I run it for a little while to warm it up and then change the oil, should I keep running it to drain the gas from the tank/carb, or should I keep gasoline in the tank and rely on...
