Without warning, my 2000 Chrysler Cirrus, just turned 70,000 miles
started having automatic transmission trouble.  It downshifts very
hard with a double thump feel as if it is shifting directly from D
ignoring 3 and going directly to low.  Afterwards, it will not upsift.

I've got a '02 Jeep Grand Cherokee.  About three weeks ago, it suddenly
failed to start -- no lights, no chimes, no meters -- this just an hour or
so after driving it without a hint of battery problem.  The battery (which
came with the car) has one of those little windows in it, ...

I have a '95 Explorer with 193,000 miles.  Been a reliable car and
I'll miss it when it's gone.  In the lsat month or so It has started

It will start fine in the morning after sitting all night.  Once it

I recently started having trouble during cold start on my 1996 Isuzu
Rodeo.  Sometimes I would hear a click followed by silence.  The rest
of the time, it was just quiet when I try to crank it.  But every time
I have been able to evenutally start the car.  But I am afraid that

I have 2 problem and there both very similar on the same vehicle.
I have a 90 suburban and I'm trying to replace the pitman arm and ball

I got the front part of the pit man arm off with a pitman arm puller but the

Has anyone used nitrogen in non-low profile tires? I checked the pro's
& cons but haven't seen what it costs? It might even be good for the
common tires in trucks and family cars.

I own a 1991 toyota corolla. Today while changing the oil I realized
my tie rod boot has developed a crack and I found a surprising amount
of grease on every part on the inside of my wheel. I believe it is a
relatively new problem as there was still grease inside the boot.

Anybody know where I can buy a hood for a 1966 Cvevy truck?

I picked up a 91 eagle talon for dirt cheap. 2.0 L inline 4. It was
running pretty good and then all the sudden it won't rev past 4 grand
in any gear. It copmletely cuts out at 4 grand then it just sputters
till you get the r's down. Kinda acts like a 2 stroke dirtbike with a

Hi,
At haloween some kids stuffed a wig into the my exhaust pipe... I
managed to get most of it out (I think - its a curved pipe) but there
are still some strands in there. When the engines rnning I can feel

My 1990 acura integra did not pass Virginia emissions due to high CO2 at 25
MPH.  I think limit was 80 PPM and it tested at 140 PPM.  It has news plugs,
clean filters, and 173,000 miles.
Is this a simple mixture adjustment?  Thanks,

A while back a crooked shop broke a used transmission I bought to
replace a worn tranny in my escort. It took my a while to find where
all the fluid was coming from (long story...) but 'turns out the jerks
broke the top transmission mount stud hole off. I JB welded the crack

W/ respect to a speeder wrench (the 'U' shaped driver for sockets that
you can spin in your hands to quickly tighten/loosen a fastener) (aka

Hi.  My Camry is a '95 v-6 sedan LE and very well maintained.
However, even with new (correct sized) Toyo tires, I've now noticed the ride
becoming a lot harsher over this past year with the sensitivity of all the
little road bumps and imperfections.  In fact while riding over some ...

I am rebuilding my 81 Camaro's Engine and am thinking about not
re-installing the AIR injection system.  Will the car run OK without
it?  I will leave all other pollution control systems intact.  The CCC
system has no check codes that relate to the AIR injection system so I
