Hi, I have a 99 Firebird, 6 cylinder, auto transmission and the tachometer only works half the time. Everything else is ok. When the Tach does work it works good so I figure it must be a bad connection somewhere but I'm not sure where to look. Any Ideas? Thanks John

Hi Everyone, I have a 97 Buick Riviera with GM's 3800 II 3.8 engine w/supercharger. There's a sensor mounted on the air box directly over the air filter. I am assuming it's to tell the computer what the temperature of the air is. Is this correct? Also does anyone know what this sensor would be...

Wonder why we never hear about epidemic flaws in NEW cars on National Public Radio's CAR TALK. (cartalk.com) Is the show more interested in hiding new car epidemic flaws from the public (to protect the interests of manufacturers), than it is warning car buyers?!

I recently started having issues with my 2001 chevy venture wipers. Stated out that the driver side arm didn't go all the way down during use. Hubby tried to adjust by loosening nut and moving arm. This resulted in arms banging into each other. He "adjusted" again and I am at least back to...

I used this in a new car today and didn't get a response after 45 minutes. Is this typical? Was I charged for this since my service included 30 minutes of phone time? Quite disappointed.

My 92 Mercury Capri wont start, it'll turn, but no ignition. I checked the spark plugs, the coil, and the fuel lines. I understand it could be a numbe rof issues, my dad had suggested it could be the ignition module. where are these, and is is this even the problem? thanks for taking time to even...

How good is Beck/Arnley products compared to, say, AC Delco or Denso or the Advance/Autozone house brands? The price is vastly better ($67 compared to $100 for the house brands and $150 for AC Delco). I'm looking at a remanufactured alternator for a 1985 Corolla SR5. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my post. We have a 1993 Ford Aerostar Minivan. The following has happened recently: While I drove it: Out running errands, so several stop and start times, it would fail to start at some point. Other than the initial "click" (once) from the solenoid,...

I am having a problem with my 1977 F-250, it has a 400 with a automatic tranny. First off, my head lights are acting funny. when I turn my truck on, the headlights come on all by themselves, the tail lights do not, just the headlights. Yet, if I turn on my head light switch, the headlights stay...

I have a 2002 Ford Focus ZX3. I hear a clicking noise when I am traveling down the road. I believe that it is most likely CV joints. How hard is it to change these? -- Dunsy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread:...

Recently I noticed an odor in my car, smells like burning rubber. Not good! It is particularly noticeable when I am idling at an intersection. My first thought is the tires, but that doesn't make sense - they would burn only after a skid, right? Could it be burning oil, does that smell like...

I have an '88 S-10 4X4, 2.8L. The left axle seal is leaking and I went to replace it yesterday. The Chilton manual being my guide, I remove the differential cover plate. It is necessary to remove the central carrier pin to allow the axle to be pushed in and the removal of the axle retaining "C"...

If the filter and strainer on an electric fuel pump were totally clogged, wouldn't the pump still make a noise, on the initial prime, couldn't you still hear it, even though it wasn't pumping gas? On some electric motors, I can hold the output shaft and it won't turn, but I can still hear the...

If I just move the slider to maximum heat, but keep the fan OFF, does it consume any gas? My 94' Caravan's heater works great, in early winter I don't need to turn on the fan. It gives out lot of hot air though. I guess it uses recycled heat from under the hood, right? However, I noticed a...

Ok here is the deal... I had an extrnal head gasket leak on this car a month ago and had a friend change the head gasket everything was fine. I put about 700 miles on the car in 3 weeks or so with no problems. The car sat for a week without being run. I took it about 70 miles on the highway (it has...

Hi last week my ford tarus start injected fluid everywhere so I pulled over had it tow and so called repaired being told it was a $19.00 connection part that caused the problem. Later in the week my car wouldn't go over 20 mph without rev up to 4,000 rpm. I was then told by mechicanic to pay...

Hey Ya'll I'm having some real problems with my 1995 GT Mustang (5 speed). Some history, recently my power steering started leaking and the pump actually ran dry, but I remedied this situation by running some power steering sealant through it and that problem has gone now... but almost at the...
