Good morning:
I need to take my olds from Tucson to Dallas, but the car has been run once
since about 1994.  That was when I put it on a trailer to bring it to
Tucson.  It took about twelve quarts of transmission fluid to get it to

My friend had the timing belt replaced recently in his 95 Subaru
Outback
Legacy with 2.2 Liter 5 speed.  He noticed a slight decrease in power
at the low end of the RPM's, but no loss at he upper end of the RPM

I picked up a copy of Popular Mechanics on the newsstand today, and in
scanning it,
I read through the automotive questions letters.
On at least three of the questions, I swear that I have seen the identical

25 k mile or annual Spin On Ea Oil Filters and  High Performance Air
filters that flow like wet gauze and cost half as much!

    I have a 1986 Mazda 323 (fuel injected).  I was driving back home
the other day when the electronics started to go.  The radio started
cutting in and out, and eventually faded to static.  Next the
tachometer would slowly drop down toward 0, but then catch again (just

Got the wife a remote start for Xmas. Found out I can get a T-harness
connector to make the install easier, but the website says it's only for
a 1994 Shadow. The harness plugs in between the ignition switch
connector. I'd like to avoid cutting wires if possible, so I need to

   Yesterday, while driving, my caravan suddenly decided to quit on me.  I
was making a right hand turn and while slowing down, the vehicle seemed to
bog down as if to stall out.  After making the turn, the same thing occured
while giving it gas to speed up.  Well, it got so bad ...

I have a machine shop project that requires a Planetary Gear for a gear
reduction. Although I could build it from 'off-the-shelf' gears, it would be
much more cost effective if I just used something like those in automatic
transmissions.

I have a 99 Dodge Durango and need to replace the tires, but the Goodyears
on the vehicle now are marked "31x10.5R15LT".  Evidently this is an optional
tire size, the standard for this model being 235/75R15.
I understand the latter nomenclature; 235mm width, 75% of that for ...

This is a bit off topic, but I figured someone here would know the
answer.  A neighbor has a 20 year old oxy acetylene welding setup I'm
interested in buying, but I don't know much about these and a I want to
make sure the tanks, regulators etc. are not obsolete (eg, they haven't

below is a copy of a post to alt.autos.studebaker - any ideas how to
successfully glue pieces of weatherstrip together?  The problem is that
for the car I'm working on ('55 Stude coupe) trunk weatherstrip with
molded corners hasn't been available for years, if it ever was, so I'm ...

This is about a Mazda 626 '91.
What I realized recently is that the break pedal has to be pressed
quite low to work. In addition, the parking break pretty much does not
break at all anymore.

I've got an 84 Pontiac Firebird (garage queen with 130k mi) that has
annoying ping/clatter/knock at light throttle accelleration. In fact
its' pretty much had it for years now. I've recently performed a tuneup
including O2 sensor. Couple years ago the TPS was replaced. Everything

Our corolla has 55,000 miles.
Timing belt should be changed when?
