I have installed autocommand add-on remote car starter on my 2000 CRV. I can start the engine by pressing the lock button on the remote fine. The problem is that since the remote is disabled when the car is running, I can't stop the engine by remote. I was wondering if anyone

| Can fuel pump leak into engine oil | 03 Oct 2004 18:53 GMT | 10 |
My VW Polo 1982 is using excessive amounts of fuel, I get only around 10km/litre. All seems up to spec, ignition distributor is working fine, new breaker, plugs and filters, and the engine runs just fine. But it uses up to 50% too

| Transmission shifts very hard | 03 Oct 2004 09:45 GMT | 22 |
When I accelerate from a stop the car SLAMS into 2nd gear. I have to go light on the gas when it's about to shift or it will chirp the tires. Do you think it's the torque converter? Isn't there a cable that goes to the throttle body that tells the transmission when to shift? ...

I've been told by a local mechanic that a piece of the starter nosecone broke off and fell into the bell housing of the (manual) transmission. He claims the tranny will need to be pulled to fix it, at considerable expense (around 4 hours shop time). I've never heard

We drove about 250 miles from the Willamette Valley to Pendleton, OR. The next day the car threw a code. I was able to get into a AAA garage. I was told for peace of mind they could diagnose but not fix the problem as they were backed up. So we paid $30.00 bucks and got the code. ...

| Dodge D50 Ram PU - how do I get the alternator apart? | 03 Oct 2004 04:03 GMT | 3 |
Mitsubichi 2.6 engine. It's the 45Amp, A2T02471 if that makes a difference. Everything is unscrewed and unbolted but the windings seem like they are welded to the diode pack and don't allow enough room to unbolt the

We have a 1990 International Truck model 4700 with an inoperative speedometer and tachometer. A local shop says the whole instrument cluster must be replaced at over 900 dollars. Is the speedo and tach cable operated or is the shop right saying it is an electrical circuit

| 1972: SAE Gross --> SAE Net HP figures - how did the 'configuration' change? | 02 Oct 2004 23:04 GMT | 5 |
It seems that the Gov mandated all advertised HP figures be stated as SAE Net as of '72 (and still holds today AFAIK). Figures dropped across the board by roughly ~25% or so give or take that year. How was the engine basically configuration for each type of test?
