Yikes wasnt looking to get people mad at me. Im not saying I expect them to know everything, but it was just amazing the stuff this guy was saying, thought i'd share it. I work in a drug store, and I know how stupid customers can be, I see them everyday. Asking if we sell things we obviously...

Was in autozone today, overheard something I didnt know before. A guy was buying 10w-40 oil for his car, the clerk told him not to get it. According to him, it's obsolete, fair enough. But the reason it's obsolete? Because although 10w-30 and 10w-40 weigh the same, 10w-40 requires the engine be...

Ack sorry meant shocks, this car has shocks, so no strut mount, but I ordered all the bushings and stuff for them, so ill replace those. Timing belt I was told was done before, this car is recommended for every 90k miles from what i've heard, so ill do it at 180k miles. Honestly im wondering...

I agree with origin hacker. Manual is great, but when you get stuck in traffic, going up hill, you suddenly wish you were driving something else.

Thats why I like toyota, the cars arent anything special, but they're nothing special for as long as you keep putting gas in them. I like my honda better in every way over my old toyota, but I sure liked how my toyota didnt have any problems.

Thanks lol we will, thats the reason they havent been replaced yet. I bought the rotors and pads, we took off the wheel, looked at it for a good 5 minutes, and put the wheel back on haha. That was about 3 months ago, my dad has read up on it a little and knows how to do it now. What is TB...

My car is a 1994 honda accord LX, 5 speed man., 141,000 miles. I finally have a free week, and so does my dad, we're gonna fix a few things. So far the things I know of that we're doing is: -Replacing all 4 struts -replacing valve cover gasket (leaking oil into spark plugs) -replacing spark...

I think a sign of a PS pump going bad would be like my car, where I can be turning, and then the power steering cuts out completely. Another would be like my friends car, that completely burst when he was making a turn.

I had a 94 corolla that did the same thing, sometimes for up to 10 miles. What worked for me was I took the gauge cluster out one day to replace a bulb, and when I put it back in it worked 100%. So try that, may work for you, disconnect the wires, take it out, and maybe give it a gentle shake.

I used Q horsepower in my car, poured it out soon after, had to start the car in 4th to keep the tires from spinning.

Dunno, looks like you made it pretty clear that fluid didnt matter, to me at least.

Dont know about your car, but my alternator went bad last week. i have a 94 honda accord, didnt bother taking it to a mechanic. The backside of the alternator could be unscrewed, and I took out the voltage regulator, and brushes, and replaced them with new ones, $45 in parts. I measured the...

Thanks for the input guys, he's gonna change the plugs to NGK for now and see what happens. I doubt it's carbon, it's been doing it for way too long now. It's not octane, he's used a higher rating and still the pinging is there. Maybe it wasnt hydraulic lifters that was replaced, something was...

It only pings when up to temp, when its cold its quiet.
