From an article by an auto writer at the Globe and Mail: "....hopefully Fiat's technical prowess can also rekindle Chrysler's reputation as an engineering-led company." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/auto/fiats-new-multiair-timing-system-offers-much-more-flexibility/article1177412/ Oh, and best...

All, Here's a puzzler to get your mind off the Chrysler/Fiat deal ... I've got a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus with the 2.5L Mitsubishi engine. Car is at 98K mi; I've had it since 45K, and it ran like a top, until recently. After warm up, and while idling in P or N (when the transmission is not engaged),...

Would it be wise to change the Solenoid if I get this code. Supposedly it is an electrical problem. Went to AMACO and they said they could fix the problem for $400.00. I am a little skeptical because I believe it is a simple, as replacing the TTC converter. What do you think? Martin

I had a problem with the starter. You would turn the key and the dash lights would go dark and the starter wouldn't crank. Try it again and the starter would function fine. I figured after 113k miles, the starter had it. Replaced with a remanned unit and same problem. Cleaned all battery and...

Hello: About three months ago I had the steering rack, lower control arm, and control arm bushings replaced on my 1991 LeBaron. Total out the door with alignment was $724. When I got the car back, it seemed to pull to the left. I took the car back, they realigned, and when I got it back, it...

In a true free market though, you would have the option of buying cheap junk if you so desired... you could ask the question, which is safer and more reliable, a new Nano or a typical $2600 used car. Unless you're real savvy and have a full set of tools the answer might actually be the...

Has anyone done this replacement? It looks impossible to get to the 15mm nut that holds the tensioner stud. Any advice?

Maybe plain English "secured creditor" actually means what it says and not what Chrysler and the UAW want it to say. High court puts Chrysler sale on hold http://tinyurl.com/nd43d4 Supreme Court issues a stay of the sale of Chrysler to the Italian automaker, delaying Chrysler's exit from...

How do I add refrigerant to my 2001 PT Cruiser AC? The compressor is running, the air is slightly cooler enough to straight outside air to know that it is cooling the air a little. But it is no where close to how cold the AC air was last summer.

Fiat Places Dead Last in J.D. Powers’ UK Satisfaction Study http://tinyurl.com/dhs9vd The Italian salvation may not be all it's cracked up to be Chrysler's vehicles, like all of America's cars, have improved greatly in recent years. But not-too-distant memory reminds us of the Le Baron and even...
