torque wrench calibration by [email protected]
I bought a 3/8's great neck torgue wrench at autozone for $19.99. It has a range from 120 to 960 Inch-pounds, and is also calibrated in Meter-kilograms. It is a very gentle click torque wrench. I had never used a torque wrench before, and thought surely it was not accurate. I barely pulled on...

Brown Transmission Fluid Question by Tommy Taylor
My Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 4 Cylinder has 54K. I've noticed no performance or transmission problems. When I checked the transmission fluid it was brown with no burned smell. Without doing the pan, I drained it and refilled. I drove it 20 minutes and rechecked it. It was still somewhat brown, so...

is $65/hr reasonable labor rate? (d) by [email protected]
I called a local independent mechanic and asked him how much labor he'd charge for working on the master brake cylinder and he told me it'd be $65 an hour. Is that a reasonable rate or is it too much? I don't really trust the auto repair franchises like Midas even though there are about 3 of...

Civic problem solved! by Ropert's Aloha
Well I replaced the main relay and ignition switch and it still died out after a few minutes of driving. When it cooled off there was spark again and it would start and run until it got hot again. So I put in a new igniter from Napa. That seems to have cured the problem. At least for now! I...

2000 Contour miss and Check Engine by Craig Williams
A little puzzled by this one. A miss problem that I thought I had fixed came back. Last summer our 2000 Contour Sport V6 (2.5L, 5-speed, 60K miles) developed a miss with an intermittent Check Engine Light. I took it to the local AutoZone and had the codes read, and it was a misfire in cylinder...

Brown color of Automatic Transmission Fluid by Lawrence Glickman
I have a slight problem, dilemma. I checked my fluid level today on my auto tranny and it looked a little brown to me, not the pink/red it was when I put it in. Since I wasn't sure, I put some on a paper towel, and then next to it a drop or two of New out-of the bottle ATF. Sure enough, the...

Electronic fuel pump - donor car ? by Riscyrich
Anyone know of a uk car the I'm likely to find in the scrap yard that will yield an inline electronic fuel pump that's easy to get to. I need one for a project I'm working on, one that's good for about 150bhp or there abouts. Cheers Rich

File or replace plugs? by Leroy Mowry
My service manual says to replace plugs if the electrodes are rounded. Instead, I filed them down with a diamond disc and they're as good as new. I also filed down the platinum electrode spark plugs which seems to make no visible difference. What is the difference between a filed down electrode and...

blazer electrical problem by [email protected]
I have a 1985 Chevy Blazer. The problem is with the gauges on the dash. They work fine for a while and then go nuts-- shut down, move around, etc. It affects the oil, amp, fuel, and water temp gauges, as well as the signal indicators and radio (basically everything on the dash). Most of the time...
