I have a '92 buick Regal, 3.1 six with Delco ABS VI brakes. I got the car a year ago. I just noticed the driver's rear does not have any brake pads on it. But the brakes were okay before the brake line to the rear passenger's side rusted through and I had to put in a new

I just returned from a long (230 miles) drive, to visit my son, and with the acetone in my old car got 34.5 mpg up from a normal highway drive of about 28 mpg . Just thought I would mention it. In my previous posts I learned much

| Bleed a master on the car | 22 Aug 2007 22:48 GMT | 5 |
I seem to remember seeing a contraption somewhere that was a set of two sections of brake line that would screw onto the master cylinder output fittings, and then looped back up into the reservoir dumping the air and fluid back into the reservoir. The intent was to be able

1995 Toyota Tercel. Bought it at 160,000 miles and the seller says that nobody is able to cancel the "Check Engine" light. Told me not to worry about smog test, it will pass. He was right it passed quite cleanly. I have another identical parts car. (Body damage, it runs quite ...

I have a '94 Honda Accord with about 160K that's been maintained very well. In the morning when it's only in the mid 70's my A/C will blow. During the day when it was in the high 90's - low 100's it would blow (but not cool) when I first turned on the car. It would progressively

| Aerostar airbag code 45 | 22 Aug 2007 13:30 GMT | 1 |
I'm posting this simply to correct some erroneous information in an earlier post. I have a '92 or '93 Aerostar that had, when I got it, a constantly blinking airbag light. It was blinking out a code 45. Earlier posters correctly indicated that this means that a crash

| Line Honing Q | 22 Aug 2007 08:26 GMT | 32 |
The engine is a small block Chevy, for my dirt track Camaro. Last season I ran it out of oil (pan damage) and the machine shop had to line hone the block as part of the rebuild procedure. Now, the timing chain (stock GM) seems a bit loose - not horribly bad,

I've got an 2006 G35 Coupe with a/t, only 4,500 miles. On a cold start, I hear a strange grinding noise that lasts for approximately three seconds and occurs prior to the car shifting from 1st into 2nd gear. This is the only time that I hear it; after the

| connect 10mm tube to -6AN? | 21 Aug 2007 14:21 GMT | 8 |
I need to connect a 10mm steel tube to a hose assembly with a -6AN end. now 10mm is real close to 3/8" so I am tempted to just slide on a -6AN tube nut, try to flare to 37 degrees using a 3/8" flare tool, throw on a union, et voila. However, the engineer in me says that is ...
