I was driving my wife's Nissan Cube and noticed that on occasions when stopped with engine running, depressing the throttle resulted in no increase in engine RPM until the petal was about 1/4 to 1/2 fully depressed, once past that mark the engine would suddenly rev quickly to what you would expect...

I have a 2005 Toyota Solara SLE, 133,000 miles, with P0171 and P0174 codes, lean mixture in both banks, and a check engine light that returns soon after being cleared. I've cleaned and then replaced the MAF sensor, replaced the PCV valve, and listened all over for hissing. I have a constant...

I need to buy a transmission jack for a Tacoma clutch. How heavy is a W59 Toyota Tacoma transmission anyway? I this 800# jack (on sale until the end of the month) good enough? <https://www.harborfreight.com/800-lb-low-lift-transmission-jack-69685.html> Does the 33% cheaper scissor-jack have any...

What are the pro's/cons of each? One pro for caps is that they are cheaper! The AVR ditty for my unit would cost another near-$400. The pro for AVR is, presumably, much tighter voltage regulation with load. But mebbe AVR has its limits ito ruggedness? The voltage swing on my genset is 250 -...

I have to remove the air vents above the radio in the middle of the dash tomorrow, on a 2005 Toyota. I tried today several times and the bezel or whatever bent without breaking, but the thing popped back where it was originally. I'm worried about cracking or breaking the plastic. Today was...

Not my own car: posting for someone else. 2010 Vibe (mostly Toyota components) was running very rough and vibrating. "Trusted mechanic" said it's running on only two cylinders, it's not an ignition or valve or head problem, but something -- he can't figure out what without taking it apart, and...

I live in Southern California. I replaced the catalytic converters on my truck and have been looking for a place to sell the old ones to compensate my cost of $800.00 I paid for the new one. If I can’t find a place willing to give me some money for it I will be trashing it. Can anyone give me...

Hello, Thanks again for previous help. Very nice of you all. Sr. Citizen now, so please bear with me a bit. Have to get new tires for my 2009 Buick LaCrosse (4 door sedan) Live outside of Boston. "Fair" amount of snow in the winter. I leave my tires on all year round, even though I agree it's...

Hi, On a tire that is both Asymmetrical and Directional, how would they likely be marked for mounting ? Just a simple arrow showing rotational direction ? (no Inside or Outside designations) Or, the arrow for the correct rotational direction, AND the Inside or Outside designation on the...

I'm thinking of installing a Gromaudio device that, if your car radio has a CD changer input jack, allows for USB input, AUX input from a cellphone, and for another $50 Bluetooth use of the cellphone through the car speakers and an add-on microphone (in addition to the first $150). The most...

I successfully changed the fuel pump on my 2001 Ford Ranger 3.0L 126" wheelbase, flex-fuel truck . But I have some unanswered questions, and they'll plague me the rest of my life if they remain so. Is there a fuel pump timer? How does it work, and where is it? If indeed, the pump is cooled by...

Hello, Thanks for previous help and info. Great group. Nothing is ever simple, I guess. Have a 2009 Buick LaCrosse Live in Boston. Get our share of snow and ice, but nothing like northern Maine or Minn.

Hello, Have a 2009 Buick LaCrosse. Using Michelin all-season tires; do not change them out over the summer. About 40-50 K on them now. I noticed the front two tires have "considerably" more wear on them than the rear.

My 95 S10 V6 pickup was running great. On day it lost power and MPG dropped off. I searched online and found the most likely cause was a bad nut kit or spider injector. I am a decent shade-tree mechanic with years of experience. I pulled the intake and indeed my nut kit was bad. I figured while...
