I have a 2000 Explorer, 4.0 push rod with 55000 miles and now have a small engine oil leak. Die indicates it's coming from the engine front cover (timing belt cover) area . It is a minute leak that's undetectable in the dipstick. Has anyone out there in Explorer land done this type of job...

Well the trees are turning green and the snow's finally gone, so that means it's time to put the snowblower away. After I run it for a little while to warm it up and then change the oil, should I keep running it to drain the gas from the tank/carb, or should I keep gasoline in the tank and rely on...

I have a small metal tubing shaft that goes to my dads tiller. The female end is a little too short and when I get on uneven ground the male shaft is on the very tip of the female shaft and breaks the female shaft. I cant find the female tuning anywhere as it seems to be an odd size. Is it...

1986 Pontiac Grand Am, maual, 5-speed. This model has a safety mechanism where you normally have to engage the clutch or the starter won't crank. If you mash the clutch down only 1/2 or 2/3 way, the engine wouldn't crank; you had to press it almost to the floor, but not quite.. And for years this...

Played with the numbers and I can save big $$ using CNG. I have a 04 Caravan (3.8L) and need a source of hardware to convert to duel fuel (gas/CNG and perhaps optioinal LP). Any input would be appreciated.

Greetings, I've got a '92 Festiva, with fuel injection auto trans, that has no power going up hills. It acts like it's "dogging out". It's ok on level ground, but when you take off, or go uphill, it loses all power. It's better at higher RPM's The former owner took off the cat to see if that was...

I have a 1986 Plymouth Voyageur that is in need of a trans. It's got a 4-cyl auto. The damn thing doesn';t have enough power to get out of it's own way. I'm thinking I'd like to find a donor vehicle with a 2.2 turbo or the likes, and drop the whole works in. Can anyone out there tell me what I...

1980 Tbird tail light just fits into place w/o any clips. What should I use to 'glue' it to the trim? There was some black putty like material all around but it is too loose for my liking. Thanks

my corsica is dripping (gushing might describe this better...) antifreeze as i type this, not from hoses, radiator, or heater core, but from the front side of engine block, water pump maybe? i wouldn't be on the computer if i knew. Any ideas?
