Red Angel. AC stop leak. by Jessica Hill
My ac system started leaking, but no signs of oil could be found. So the NAPA store recommended I try Red Angel ac stop leak. $38. per can. Money back guarantee. I tried it. 24 hours later the gas had leaked out of the system again. Anyone else tried this product? Did it work or not?

Car repair advice needed by QA2008
Hello, I do not know much about cars and need advice. I purchased a 1995 Chevy Lumina 3 years ago. I paid $2500 for it. Since then, I have put about $3000 into it for various repairs. In January, it would not start. I had it towed to the garage. The mechanic said it is leaking oil and...

NYC Taxicabs by PolicySpy[_3_]
The Nissan NV200 has been chosen as the next NYC taxicab. It's a mini-van with a sliding door, on a car frame, and it weighs about 3,000 pounds. I see it listed with a 1.6 108 HP engine and I'll guess the torque at 90 ft/lbs. I see it listed with a 1.5 turbo diesel at 85 HP and 148 ft/lbs of...

Honda versus Toyota by HLS
I have been thinking about trading out of my American iron, and going with something more economical. We have long discussed here how Toyota and Honda seem to have the edge on lower priced cars for economy, quality and dependability. But it seems to me that Honda has had its share of...

Brad nailer and tire inflator tank, dangerous? by Leroy Mowry
This pneumatics brad nailer calls for 55-100-psi, the 5G tank supplies 120-psi. The instructions on the side of the tank says, "do not use on pneumatics tools." It didn't say anything about single shot nailers. The laws of physics yet is prove itself. But if anyone see an imminent tank explosion...

Electric fuel pump question by bige lewis
Hi all. I am getting a car ready for a demolition derby. Usually I run something older with a chevy 350, but due to time constraints I am stripping out a 89 mercury Grand Marquis with a 5.0. It runs and drives, so it won't take long to get ready. Anyway, I am having trouble figuring out the easiest...

Zero lash Cont. by Rojo2G
As recomended I TDC'd each cylinder(chey 6 cycl.) and tightened out the play on the pushrod, plus about 5/8 rev. on the nut. I rotated the engine by hand and rechecked the play. Most had play again so I repeated the tightening a second time. I spun the engine once more and still had to tighten a...

hI aLL! what lateral g-force can old cars achieve? by longtrennguoi
A modern vanilla sedan can do 0.9 g, maybe more with good tyres. I saw a video on Youtube of some guy fitting a triangulated 4-link suspension to some chrome-bumper car, and managed to get 0.52 g on cornering, which seems rather poor. Must have had sh*t tyres. Sorry, I haven't been able to find it...

94 Caravan - fuel pump won't run by [email protected]
94 Caravan, 3.0L V6. The van has been sitting for a while, but started fine 2 weeks ago. A few days ago it cranked fine, but the fuel pump didn't do the normal 2-second pressure up when the key was first turned on. I can get the fuel pump to run if I jumper the fuel pump relay, so the relay, the...

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited AC fans not blowing by [email protected]
I've got a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7L 8 CYL SOHC MPI 4 DR. WAGON/SPORT UTILITY. The AC seems to be working fine, but the fans aren't coming on so the cold air isn't blowing out. I had somebody work on the AC before and I think they messed up the wire harness that is below the dash...

Question: Can synchro-mesh be adjusted? by BD
Hey, all... I have an '02 Subaru WRX. Had it for about 2 1/2 years now, and it has 36,000km on it. Lately I've noticed that when I gear down from second to first, the synchro-mesh occasionally seems to let me into 1st before the rpms have synched up properly - it results in a bit of a thud, or...

safety of projector headlights? by Kurt
Those small projector headlights on a lot of Acuras, BMWs, etc. are supposed to give a brighter, focused beam that helps the driver, but what about other people's ability to see you? Being seen can be as important as seeing the road. A lot of times they look like evil snake eyes that don't really...
