I spent over 700.00 just to get the engine to run smooth on my mothers car. A new engine does not catch fire 2 days after is has been installed the fire started from the engine. Have you heard of an engine catching on fire 2 days after being installed.

| 1986 Isuzu Trooper Crankshaft Bolt | 21 May 2006 22:46 GMT | 2 |
I've looked through a repair manual, checked on the web and still wondering if this is a left hand or right hand thread bolt. I've tried a long breaker bar and impact wrench with no luck. Am I turning it the right way? I've been treating it like a standard bolt, attempting to

| Annoying noise from under the hood during idling. What does it mean? | 21 May 2006 13:57 GMT | 14 |
I hear an annoying noise from under the hood whenever I am not pressing the gas pedal. In Park, Neutral or Drive with the brakes on, I hear this noise and as soon as I start pumping gas, it goes away. It is quite annoying and I complained about it to the dealer when I did my 90K

| Battery Condition Alert | 20 May 2006 19:30 GMT | 2 |
I have a Reatta that, seemingly under the best of conditions, draws a fair amount of resting current. Too darn many systems involved I guess. I don't drive it that often, and yesterday after letting it sit for several weeks, I found that the battery was flat.
