At the perfect time of year, my 99 Regal LS started something naughty this morning.
It was around 50 degrees this morning and I set it at auto for 73 degrees.  After
about 5 minutes I noticed it wasn't getting warmer.  I noticed it was set for 3 ticks
out of 6 to the Floor so I ...

'94 Park Avenue - Who sells touch-up paint for Adriatic Blue code 173A?
Neither Dupli-color or Plasti-cote sells aerosol touch up paint, and the
only place I have found so far wants $15 for a few ounces, and another $15
to put it in an aerosol can.

On our 95 Park Ave the Battery Warning Light (beside the voltage gauge)
sometimes comes on and stays on for a while after start up. This is a fairly
recent development (during the last year) and is happening more often and
staying on longer. This morning I put a DVM on the cigar ...

Mom finally took my advice and traded in her 2002, 67,000km Olds Intrigue
for a 2006 Impala LT. The Intrigue needed brakes, again, and another ball
joint. Funny, she walk into the dealer and said "my car needs brakes, I want
a new one." Don't know anything other than it has the LT ...

Manual calls for GM 89021184. Had a minor leak at a fitting, now
fixed. Have to add about 4 or 6 ounces to bring it to the line. Any

This is sort of a followup to a previous post, but I'm going to attempt a
valve cover replacement on a GMC 2.8L V6 engine (1985) and need some
technical advice. The reason for this replacement is due to a very
persistent oil leak that is thought to be due to warped OE valve covers. ...

This has happened to me before, but it stopped after a while.  This
time it isn't stopping.  I disconnect the battery to do something like
replace the alternator and then when I'm done I can't keep it running.

I recently installed a 1989 350 cu Chev TBI engine in the engine bay of a
1990 GMC 1500 pickup (Z71). Previously there was a 305 cu engine in the
truck. After buttoning everything up, the damn thing would not start. Got
spark and I'm confident the timing is correct. Could it be the ...
