Hello.  Can anyone tell me if there is a coolant drain plug on the
engine block in a 1991 Geo Metro?  If so, where is it?  I don't have
access to a lift, and I would rather not explore the underside in the
middle of winter.

I have a 1985 Nissan Pickup (4cyl carburated engine) and it has started
to make a very bad sounding noise and I am wondering what it might me.
The noise is like a metal on metal knock and it occurs to a small
degree whenever the gas is pressed. There is no noise when I start it

hard to get at.   Is there any good reason that I can't at least replace 3
of the 6 plugs.  Or is it all or nothing deal?    I will be selling the van
in a year from now, so will put a cheap pair of plugs to ...

Hi my buddy brought in his 2001 Ford Ranger with an intake leag (4.0L

11.8 volts while car is running (12.2 while car is off). There's about

telling if i have a bad computer,timing belt or ...

I was wondering, would it do a car any good if the a bigger ram air is
installed?
Going extremes, a giant cone attached to the air intake system of the
engine and then mounted on the front of the car.  With that giant
