'84 Toyota Cressida: Runs Fine, But Every Dash Warning Light Is Lit. Thoughts On ? by Robert11
Hello, Here's an interesting one. My wife has a '84 Toyota Cressida waggon. Her pride and joy; very low mileage on it, about 43 K only. Best car we ever bought. Live outside of Boston, and car has always been left outside. Car starts up just fine as always, and seems to run just fine.

I have a 99 Altima with 66,000 miles on it now. I've been using Mobil 1 since 40,000 miles and to be frank I dont see the cost benifits to use mobil 1 on a "economical" car. Is it safe to switch back to dyno oil or will it harm my engine? thanks

Honda Accord 98 Check Engine Light coming repeatedly by John Edwards
I have a Honda Accord 98. Recently I have got the Check Engine Light on. I read the Haynes manual and tried to get the error code from the PCM which turned out to be "80" (using the blinking light method in the dashboard). I interpreted the code (from the Haynes Manual) as a leak near the fuel...

hard shifting Saturn by Tokay
I was just wondering if a few of you in here might be able to help me with a problem. Lately, my car (93 Saturn manual) has become very difficult to shift. It seems to stick just before it gets into gear. It doesn't grind, it just requires a LOT of muscle. And it's mostly in 1st and 2nd gear. It...

94 Metro engine info requested by mbjj
If you throw a timing belt at 30 MPH in the 1.0L engine will it do any head damage like the old escorts used to do? I was getting on an on ramp to an interstate and threw a belt as I was accelerating from a dead stop. Needless to say the car came to a dead stop also. How much damage did the...

Experience with Nikki 2 barrel by Paul M. Cook
I'm told by my mechanic that my 84 Mazda b2000 is in need of a new carburetor. The cost for a new one, assuming it can even be found, is about 900 bucks. He is absolutely adamant about not replacing it with a reman and his points are well taken. Now his claim is the carb is badly warped. ...

Does give another car a boost ruin the boosters battery? It is -31C here (-24 F). The car did not start. And once a car can no longer turn over - what else can be done besides waiting? Would a block heater help? Thanks,

Engine makes a kind of "huffing" noise. by B.B.
I'm not sure how else to describe it or how long I've had it since my radio only recently died. (: It wasn't there before, but now it makes a distinct huffing sound--kind of like an air compressor does, though quieter. Not very loud and goes away (or is covered by other noises) when driving at...

I'm getting a bit elderly to jack up my 1936 Cord using a standard hydraulic/manual garage jack. I don't do enough work underneath to need a lift, even a Kwiklift. Is there such a thing in the world as an electric garage jack. Or a pneumatic (air-operated) garage jack? Or something...

advice for broken mounting stud for gas tank. by jeanluc
I have an old, rusted 89 aries with unibody construction. The car is dead because there is no fule pressure. I suspect the fuel pump. To get to the fule pump, I had to drop the tank which means I had to undo the nuts holding the gas tank mounting straps. When I attempted to undo the nuts for the...

Help choose rear wheel drive, truck based SUV by iano
to replace 1995 Explorer XLT. I've looked at a few webpages to search for cars. So far they all want the brand first. There are so many new cars now, I suspect that I'll miss some car I'd like better if I start with brand names. Your suggestions, please.
