    Fuel Line

    Reason For Being Cheap?

    I'm cheap, I admit it. I'm still driving the same car for 20 years! My parents lived checkbook to checkbook on occasion, and it scared me. Plus, it's hardwired into my genes from grandparents and other family members. I like having a lot of savings, it makes me feel better. I don't skimp out on...

    Cooling system boiling, no overheat

    It was a bad cap. Weird; the old cap was from Oreilly Auto, was about 5 years old I think. Never had a radiator cap go bad! The spring felt stiff on it. But with a new cap, the level sits exactly where it should in the overflow now. Hopefully that solves the heater gurgling!

    Not boiling over, just the heater gurgling noise.

    Cooling system boiling, no overheat

    My Corolla had a strange one yesterday. I drove up into the mountains and the initial road out of town, US 24, has a 7% grade. Pretty steep. Done this drive a thousand times without issue. I pulled into a gas station to get some coffee. Came back out, sat in my car, and immediately heard a...

    Volvo GDI cleaning is this correct?

    This is the only reliable before and after post with CRC I could find where someone actually did it with pics. "So I got a chance to do the A, B test of the CRC GDI cleaner today in combination with an oil change. A: Take manifold off, take before photos of valves (potatoes 1 & 2) Install...

    Volvo GDI cleaning is this correct?

    I mean, if anything will clean the valves via the induction method, it's gonna be CRC. It's got a high dose of PEA.

    Volvo GDI cleaning is this correct?

    I'd find a vacuum line, like the PCV line, and spray in there. You can put duck tape over the line and poke a hole for the straw, then plug the other end of the line so there isn't a massive air leak and the car will run smother while you spray.

    Strange oil consumption issue with '04 Corolla

    It's a Corolla; they consume oil because of the bad piston ring design. Try a piston soak; it's so easy to do on them. Done it many times on my Corolla; just make sure and cycle the starter with the plugs out and paper towels jammed into the plug wells to get any residual fluid out. Do it...

    Best free antivirus for an old PC

    I have Panda Dome currently and like it; had problems in the past with Panda interfering with some software (can't even remember what it was, something stupid like a printer driver), but it's working great now. Definitely the easiest on resources, and I have tried them all. Bitdefender was...

    Smoking a beef chuck roast.

    I've smoked a few chuckroasts now, and although it's no brisket, it's not bad! Was looking for something much much cheaper than brisket and googled smoked chuck roast, and found smoking it is actually a thing!

    Eyeglasses

    I also use Zenni; best deal out there for prescription eye glasses. If you buy any designer frames, you're getting ripped off, period, end of story. The Frames from Zenni are just as good as designer brands and way better than brick and mortar discount places in my experience. The only problem...

    2011 Chevy equinox overheating

    Before you go any further thinking it's head gasket or the likes, you have to get the air out! It's very hard to do on a lot of GMs. Try buying a Lisle spill free funnel and attach it where the cap goes on the pressurize surge tank. Don't overfill the system, let it run until the thermostat...

    Coolant leak.

    If it's below the throttle body, it might be coolant lines going to the TB, most TBs have coolant passages going through them.
