I have a 78 amp 12SI alternator, out of a mid-80s Riviera, in my '78 Trans Am. My new battery went completely dead in a week. A meter showed a current draw of about 300mA with the key off. Removing the two-pin connection from the alternator dropped the current draw to about 9mA. This is a...

I have a 2000 Mazda Protege ES It uses V speed rated tires I've been thinking abt the tires in the title Anyone have experience with them?

I just replaced the lower ball joints (and uppers a couple years back), and also CV axles which needed it (they were clunking in reverse when backing out of the driveway). It has decreased the suspension rattle I occasionally feel through the steering wheel and brake pedal, but not eliminated it. ...

what do you all use to reglue plastic to the insides of metal car doors? I am about to that point with my '55 Stude and it never had plastic there, just little pieces of tar paper over the holes originally. I have tried silicone before as well as Permatex No. 2 on other cars and wasn't...

This morning it is -12F, and our projected high for the day is going to be 2F. Just like most mornings, I see people outside that get in their car, crank it over, and take off driving within 5 seconds of the engine starting. You sure couldn't do that in the old days with carburetors and...

My Toyota Sienna 98 no longer has tail lights. All other lights are working. When I changed the fuse (which was blown) that is under the driver's side, under the steering wheel, the lights came on for just a second, and then the fuse was blown again. I am not sure how to fix this!? Should I check...
