Seems that you hear a lot of buzz in the auto world about how many overhead cams something has. I hear a *LOT* of the buying public, the ones that I would essentially label as 'sheep' (no offense to them, though), talking about overhead camshafts as a 'performance' feature. These would be the same...

I'm trying to troubleshoot an HC emissions failure in a 94 Chevy Suburban 5..7 liter with TBI and one heated O2 sensor. Over several minutes idling in park the long term fuel trim will creep down to around 100 (with 128 being stoichiometric). So this works out to like -22% or so if I'm reading it...

I have an intermittent noise in my wife's 2007 Ford Escape. I am looking for an easy and accurate way to check pulley alignment on the serpentine belt system. (Preferably without purchasing an expensive tool). I have read about garages using lasers to check them. (Of course it is an expensive tool...

After 37 years of flawless driving I've had my first crash. It was, of course not my fault. I was stuck in traffic and an SUV driver didn't bother to look where he was going. My '94 Saturn SL2 has as it's most serious problem broken brakes. Should I be able to locate and replace the hose as a...

Owner is complaining that the SUV is wearing out tires in less than two years of slow driving on windy California one-lane mountain roads. http://i.cubeupload.com/jWeh8J.jpg The quick question here is which tire wears best on mountain roads? (old) P235R15 108T or (new) P225R15 102S Why?

I'm taking a night class on auto maintenance in adult school. There is no grade and no tests. Just learning. And fun. The teacher asked today, the first class, for us to bring next week a list of the 10 things that people can do at home to repair their car, starting with number 1 being an oil...

Hi I own a 97 f250 with a problem of a premature upper ball joint failure every 5000 KLM with outside tire feathering since new. The mechanics have not been able to solve this problem or could not bother to try. I need to replace the upper ball joint again an wonder other areas that I should be...

My 2001 BMW 525i front total toe spec is 0°5'±10' and the rear total toe is 0°22'±4' How does one convert that to inches or millimeters?

The latest fad on cars is to use LEDs for some of the front lights, particularly the DRLs, and use LEDs for brake lights. Naturally, the automakers have to overdo a good thing and have made these LEDs way too bright. Sitting behind someone at night who has their brakes on can blind you. And...

Next time I wash my vans, I am going to wax/polish them, with an electric polishing thingy I will soon buy wherever. Which wax/polish is the best? What do you use on your vehicle? cuhulin

99 Accord 4cyl, auto, 105k miles. Had the rubber band changed a couple months ago, shortly before the weather got cold. Also did water pump at the same time (since they had it apart anyway), and changed plugs, wires, etc. Since then, at cold start, the temp needle takes forever getting off the...

"The Japanese automaker also said it had been able to duplicate a flaw in the skid control system on new Lexus GX 460 sport utility vehicles, but said it had not yet settled on exactly how to fix the problem. The automaker stopped selling the Lexus GX460, a SUV sold by Toyota’s luxury brand,...

Has this been discussed here? If we let car companies get away with $500 keys, then we have basically pulled our pants down to our ankles, lubed ourselves up, painted a bullseye on our asses, bent over, and are screaming, C'mon, shove it in deeper/harder.... **** Prius and their car key. My...

Hello, all. Well, I guess it had to happen but someone scraped the rear bumper this morning on my 2011 Ford Focus (not even a year old). There are no dents or gashes but numerous scratches, the worst one being deep enough to show the plastic below the paint. Can the deep scratches on the...

3 weeks ago I polished my headlight lenses. They came out great. I had replaced a bulb and noticed again how cloudy they were, 2005 car. It took about 2 hours but would have taken less if my back didn't hurt and I had to sit down over and over, and if then I didn't start listening to the...
