Okay, I have a 1988 Toyota Corolla FX 1.6 L Carb car. Today while I was driving on the interstate, it began to rattle. It sounded like it was inside the engine. I pulled over and checked the oil.

I have a 92 Pontiac Grand Prix SE that has sereved me well, until now. She has some starting issues. If I start her cold, she'll keep cranking and cranking until she gets a little encouragement from me and my accelerator and then runs... with black smoke. If I let her do all the work, she just...

Hi all, just bought a 1993 VW Passat GLX V6, 170,000 miles. Looked good, test drive for half hour in various conditions. Drove for two days before white smoke started coming out from under the hood and through the A/C vents; temp light came on. Pulled over immediately and had it towed to my...

I have worked out the retaining pin and have the axle out. When I tried to put the new axle on I noticed that the pin alignment holes don't align cleanly. When placed on the splines properly the hole shifts to one side or the other depending on which spline I choose. When I tried to drive in the...
