I have the 1996 silverado 350. I have a Haynes repair manual and have done a few test. The problem was bucking but sometimes the truck would run just fine. I had the ignition module checked at autozone. it tested bad they said and i got a new one. However, the code came back the next day. I did...

Playing around with a junk lawnmower. The connecting rod has needle bearings at the crankshaft end. These are not in a cage - they're just floating on the crank journal, under a "liner". Parts picture...

After I start my engine, I can go out and wiggle the wiring right next to my headlight lamp, and it will come on. It will stay on as long as the engine runs. However the next time I start the car it will be off again. (I've removed the lamp from its socket and there's some corrosion inside...

In the course of replacing the oil pump on my 89 Cressida I discovered I have a separated driver side motor mount. Toyota wants $171 for one. Looked online, found one at Auto Parts Warehouse for $53.52 w/shipping, Rock Auto Parts has one for about $25 w/shipping. While they're both a big savings...

89 Toyota Cressida, 7MGE inline 6. Recently experienced a brief overheat after a blown hose concurrent with a low on oil situation. Now finding the oil light goes on at stopped idle under load (~600 - 800 rpm) after the engine has gotten well warmed. This started immediately after the overheat. No...

I'm trying to revive an old Lawn Boy 2-cycle mower. It runs, but has a ticking sound in the engine. Investigating, I find that the crankshaft has a lot (1/8"+) of (vertical) end play. I opened the case on a 2nd Lawn Boy engine. (It has other problems.) All I find to limit the crank movement is...

Tonight I was browsing around Wikipedia in a semi-nostalgic manner. While committing said act, I saw a poor photograph of a particular and significant early-'70s motor vehicle that I rather liked when it was new. I downloaded a copy of the hi-res version of that photo, then cleaned it up in...

Gasoline contains ethanol. Ethanol absorbs water. You'd think that would be a good thing that helps remove condensation that happens in the gas tank. BUT Water gets absorbed naturally along the distribution channel. AND If you were a refiner, transporter, distributor of gasoline, wouldn't you like...

Of course I realize a tire pressure gauge is inexpensive, etc., but I long for the days when filling tires with air at a service station was free AND the inflation areas had devices where you could preset tire pressure to be achieved (reached when the bells stopped clanging!!). Now you put a...

1997 Lumina. 165k miles. This pipe goes from front bank exh manifold to rear bank exh manifold. Covered by a heat shield, so you can't see it. I didn't hear it, but my son did. He also felt the puffing with his fingers on a cold start. He's good. He was concerned about his mom driving it while...

This Ford Rangers always starts, idles, warms up, stalls going into gear most of the time. Have to wait several hours to restart. After turning motor off, it will not restart, but if I put pedal to the floor it temporarily (like one second) will fire, but then dies. Have to wait hours...

I have a 1994 Ford F250 with a 460 engine. The engine runs rough at idle and runs rich. When driving at highway speeds, the engine stumbles and misses. I have replaced everything that makes a spark. The comp test is 150 all. The valve springs all seem ok and cam lift seem ok. I bought the truck...

Anyone know the correct line pressure for the common rail for the direct injection of petrol on FSI and TFSI engines? Thanks in advance. -- Clive

does it exist, for a 92-97 F-series? It looks like a 200mm × 142mm sealed beam ought to physically fit, but I don't have one to try, and I don't feel like fabbing something if it's already been done for me. Reason I ask is I took my original question to a certain lighting expert that used to...
