94 Dodge Colt problem by
[email protected]
My Colt standard runs fine, but if I let it sit for over a day and
start it up, it will run for about 5 minutes before it starts to

Aluminum rim sealing. by
Bob Urz
I have a few aluminum rims with tubeless tires that i seem to have
a continuing slow leaking problem. Any tips on how to seal these
up more permanent? Most of the auto parts store seem to just have

I just want to seal the bead...

Ford Power Window Motors by
BobW
I have a 84 Ford LTD 4-door that was sitting for about 3 years. A number of
things suffered as it wasn't prep'ed first and the windshield leaked so
plenty of moisture is involved. None of the electric windows would move so
