I have a '76 Pacer with a 242. My exhaust manifold is cracked and warped. My mechaninc is having a tough time finding a new manifold. One option may be replacing it with a header. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? A make and manufacturer?

Hi all. I have a 2002 Subaru WRX Wagon. I recently noticed some discoloration along the rubber trim that surrounds my windshield on the outside. It's kind of whitish and blotchy - like sal****er might stain something. But it's not coming out easily.

I have a 94 Subaru Legacy. 2.2 liter The timing belt broke. I replaced it. I lined up marks and counted teeth. I put it back together. It wont start. I checked compression. 150 pounds on all cylinders. I put on a timing light. It is firing about 90 degrees before tdc! What the heck. I...

1990 Chevrolet K1500 350/5 speed regular cab longbox. The door sticker only lists GVWR (5600) and GAWR (3400 each front and rear) with no GCVWR. The manual and the shop manual both tell me "ask a dealer." It's my father-in-law's old farm truck... it's done a lot of towing, but I have no idea...

In the USA, these things are sometimes called "step trucks". From the drivers seat, you can directly pass through to the boxpart of the truck in the rear-without going out of the vehicle. The famous UPS trucks are like this. in asia, I've seen Mistushi-Motors Canter GUTS models that were...

My grandfather's 91 Nissan Maxima radiator fans will run continuously. I'd unplug the fan switch near the thermostat and the fans still run. There are three relays and all seem to be fine because when I unplug them one by one they will make a click sound and the fans will stop. The diagram that I...

I'm getting rid of my old G10. I want to drive cross country, and 12mpg's isn't going to cut it. I figure I should get 20 or better out of an Astro (I am partial to Chevys). Was looking to get some feedback. I'm in NJ. If anyone in NJ or a neighboring state has a Astro for sale, I could be...

Awl-- I was preparing myself, with liberal applications of Preparation H, for duplicating my Honda Fit keys. Then I found out what the goddamm battery costs, which is little bigger than a Harley Davidson battery--which makes sense, cuz Harley Davidson engines are as big or bigger than the Fit...

Awl-- It is a fairly gigantic and expensive pita to get duplicate keys for a Honda Fit--and proly for most new cars. You gotta bring in ALL the keys, otherwise when they complete the process not all will work!!! Plus, they charge so much the salesguy wouldn't give me an exact figure! He left...

Awl-- Been wondering about this for a long time: If emissions control cuts emissions by, say, 10%, but also cuts mpg's by 10%, isn't the whole thing a wash? Now the Qs are, by how much does emissions control really cut emissions? And what particular emissions? Then, by how much does emissions...

I have a 2001 Honda Civic with 66k miles on it. I've recently noticed a rattling sound that I can hear when the car is idling. Upon depressing the clutch, the noise goes away. I've also noticed that the car makes a bit of a similar noise as I'm accelerating and decelerating. My budget is...

On a Peugeot 307 HDi how do you clean the exhausts partical filter. Garages can do it for lots of :2cents: so why cannot we do it. Ideas or answers please :banghead: -- vernon2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vernon2's Profile:...

The what? The Ferrari Enzo Ferrari? Or just the Enzo Ferrari? With characteristic Italian clarity, the press kit explains: "The car is called the Enzo Ferrari, but it will be referred to simply as the Enzo." http://automobnews.blogspot.com/2007/05/ferrari-enzo.html

What is the proper way to rotate tires? Do you criss-cross the front and rear's, or do you move them straight back? Thanks MAB

I hope that I am saying this correctly. My husband was a stick in his truck instead of it being automatic.Do anyone know how much it would cost to chage an automatic to a manual? It is worth getting it done?
