Trying to unlock your car with a cell phone doesn't work by
m6onz5a
A lady just came in my work and she just locked her keys in her car.
She mentioned about that trick where you can take a keyless entry and
through the cell phone you can open the locks. We had her hubby press
the button several times from his house while he held it next to the
phone while I held my...

Checking for Recalls? by
CWLee
Is there a website at which one can input a Ford VIN code
and learn, for that specific vehicle, which recalls apply to
it and which of those recalls have been completed? I
suspect Ford dealers have access to something like that, but
if so is it also available directly on-line to the...

Can I remove/disable a gear shift interlock solenoid? by
yaugin
I'm having a problem with my vehicle where the gear shift (automatic
transmission) will not move out of park unless I hold down the manual
shift lock release mechanism. Searching on the web this seems to be an
issue across all makes. For the record mine is a 2004 Suzuki Forenza
with less than 25k...

Straightening an Aluminum wheel by
phaeton
On the way to school this morning, I got into an understeer situation
in the snow. Fortunately I was only doing about 20mph, but
nonetheless it resulted in a pretty righteous curb shot. I'm pretty
sure my alignment is hosed, but I know that's (probably) going to be
an easy/inexpensive fix. Of...

Front suspension squeaks over speed bumps by
Dan[_6_]
'95 Corolla makes some rubber-squeak noise when going over speed bumps
and road irregularities.
This is more pronounced when cold. After car has been driven for some
time, there's almost no noise.
I lubricated the sway bar bushings, then changed them to new OEM ones,
and got the same noise.
Any...

TOYOTA COROLLA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: QUESTION by
BrianInNY
Quick question: We recently purchased a new 2010 Corolla LE with
automatic transmission. Third gear is horizontally even with the
normal "D"
drive on the shift gear box, so it's pretty easy to make a mistake if
you're in a hurry. My wife mistakenly drove it in third gear
(instead of the normal...

Junk or Odd Tools by
Vic Smith
Most here have seen most tools.
Sometimes you run across a contraption tool and it might interest you,
or you see right away it's just junk.
Maybe you're not sure, so you take a flyer.
Anyway, about 30-35 years ago I ran across something - probably in a
hardware store, and bought it. Maybe 5...

air filter brand and change interval question by
Ashton Crusher[_2_]
So, aside from oil and filters, what are people doing for air filter
change intervals, do you follow the maintenance schedule in the owners
manual, or ????
Most of my vehicles have called for changes at around 15 or 20K miles
and that's more or less when I change the filter. Only exception is
if...

Hit-or-Miss Heating by
J.B. Wood
Hello, all. My 1990 Mercury Sable has lately been displaying some
unusual heating behavior: With the passenger compartment temperature
set at 85F I only get cold air coming out of any of the ducts even when
the engine temp is nominal (mid range on the temp gauge). The weird
thing is that after I...

Chubby Cheddar on Today: There is no reason to use High Octane gasoline by

Hmmm...For those of you who don't know Csaba Csere (somehow pronounced
something like "Chubby Cheddar") said on the Today show 'there is no
reason to use high octane gasoline."
I dunno, but in my small, 4 cylinder engines I tend to get 4-6 MPG more
than using even mid-grade. I won't put anything...
