A family member has a 1996 Acura TL 2.5.  They had an accident a while back,

I'm having problems getting spark to my spark plugs, the time is fine, I

Did this happen all of a sudden or have you had  no-starts before?  Usually an engine will give

throttle, which hasn't helped.

Does anyone sell 5W20 Oil in gallon or 5-quart jugs? I've only been able to
find it in quart bottles.

I am about to my take  Ford  Explorer Sport into the shop for what I think
is this intake manifold gasket problem I've read a lot about.  What can I
expect money-wise since this is a problem Ford is aware of ?
I understand its a service bulletin  item with them.

Firstly an apology if I have got any protocols wrong - this is my first

Bizarro problem here. Vehicle is a 90 Grand Prix. Everything was fine
yesterday, then today no headlamps, running lamps, or instrument

specify a relay in line with anything, but when the switch is moved to

I just discovered that my oil cap has been off for 6 weeks and 3000

I read somewhere long ago that Bon-Ami scouring powder was good for
cleaning automobile glass.  The can even says, "Hasn't scratched yet.",
with a picture of a little chick on it.
So I read the directions on a can of it today and it says, "Don't use

I'm planning to remove my fuel pump and clean my fuel tank.
(The pump sits on top of the tank). But I am quite paranoid

I will disconnect the battery before I start. Is there anything else
