When we bought the van a few years ago, the check engine light was on. The diagnostic at AutoZone indicated possible fan relay, among other things I had to fix. Replaced the relay, fans worked fine for 3 months, Same thing, got a relay from a dealer this time, 3 months or so, I'm replacing it for...

Remember how I said, about a week after the oil rig was sunk by a torpedo fired by a North Korean mini-sub, that they should pinch the oil-pipe closed between a pair of hydraulically-operated roller pins? Why didn't they listen to me? So now they're going to cut it wide open (presumably near the...

DETROIT (AP) -- The Cash for Clunkers program boosted sales at Ford, Toyota and Honda in August as consumers snapped up their fuel- efficient offerings, but rivals Chrysler Group LLC and General Motors Co. withstood another month of falling sales. Ford Motor Co. sold 181,826 cars and light trucks...

What's the best preventive maintenance schedule for the A604 transmission? What helps the most? If you use ATF+4, that makes it shift smoother, right? But does it make it last longer? If you replace the fluid often, does that really make a difference? If you replace the filter often, does...

I wonder how long my engine will last now. As I posted before, the dealer made it seem like a few weeks and refused to do a coolant change. That was embarrasing but at least the dealer did not soak me for the annual state inspection. As one poster suggested, probably to avoid being sued since...

Sorry to report that, due to a 16 year old idiot with a "learners" permit, my perfectly maintained 1994 Grand Caravan has been "totaled". :( Worse, the insurance company does not seem to give a flying fig about the $10,000 I put into it over the years. I am getting about $200 over "book value" for...

My '94 Acclaim (2.5 w/ auto tranny; 60 k miles) suddenly died while I was driving it home today and will not restart (turns over fine). I also don't hear the 2 second electric fuel pump noise when I switch the key to the run position. It has stored a number 11 code. I believe the distributor...

anyone have any idea of the symptoms of a bad air/con accumulator

Got two cars to choose from. A pretty loaded 2000 Grand Prix (heated leather, sunroof, 3.8 non-supercharged engine), or a 2000 300M. Both have pretty close to the same mileage (well, kilometerage, since I'm in Canada). My needs are commuting type driving, but I want to do it in style. :)...

For those paying attention, after getting the clunk fixed (turned out to be a inner tie rod bushing), the more competent dealer left the steering wheel crooked. So I took it to Merchant's tire, etc store after checking with them that they would listen to my concerns about doing the...

So I spent $200 and had the "detailed" inside and out before shipping it to my in-laws. I used to wax and in later years put NuFinish on my cars, but I have to say they never came out like this. It is incredible. Maybe I should keep it. LOL. I have to think that although the car is gorgeous,...

I'm reaching out to those Chrysler/Plymouth gurus out there for help. I'm almost done with this vehicle, despite replacing the head gasket and exhaust system recently. Here's what has happened - 1 - Started the car to leave the office, it stalled out and wouldn't restart. I have ample spark and...

When I turn to the left, there is a humming kind of vibration, similar to what you would feel when you drive over those vibration strips on the highway (but less pronounced). This doesn't happen when I'm turning to the left. What can this be? Is it a CV joint, wheel bearing, etc? I'm assuming that...

Dodge Durango 99 5.9L, converted to run on LPG (single point). When running on LPG injectors are disconnected to prevent them from working (or rather the common positive lead is routed thru resistor so that voltage drop on injectors is insufficient for them to operate), and naturally PCM...

I have used Michelins for years but I find that I can find a lot of complaints on the internet about sidewall failure, especially with Costco tires. Does anyone know if Costco is getting a lower quality product made to be more price competitive? dq

Does anyone know where I can get some headers for a 1966 Chrysler New Yorker? Seems no one makes them due to the close tolerances that exist within the engine compartment, block, and steering components... Any ideas??? Mark

Analysts say the departure of DaimlerChrysler chief executive J=FCrgen Schrempp marks the merciful end of a failed expansion strategy. The stock market greeted the announcement. J=FCrgen Schrempp's exit does not exactly come as a surprise. The DaimlerChrysler CEO has faced intense criticism from...

Very strange. Both vans with dead battery. Background: very hot, humid weather here in the East Yesterday, my 99 Voyager 2.4 refused to start after sitting at a YMCA parking lot for about an hour. (My teenage daughter had the car.) I went out there and the headlights would not light, and when...

I have a '99 , 300M - took delivery in August 1998... Still has the original battery and it seems to be doing fine. Anyone in ths group ever change out the battery on 300M... advice appreciated... thanks -- The novelist George Eliot once said that "it is never too late to become what you might...

I have an 89 lebaron conv. with the 2.5L turbo engine and 4-speed auto. transmission. I have nearly gone crazy trying to figure out WHY this car shudders so violently upon acceleration. So far BOTH motor mounts, THE SINGLE transmission mount, transmission fluid (changed once), BOTH front wheel...
