    Intermittent Torque Converter Lock Up -1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ - AW4

    The Dex/Merc will thin out much faster than the VI, so you need to keep it refreshed. Change all the disgusting fluid now through a cooler line. Then a drain/fill every so often.

    Intermittent Torque Converter Lock Up -1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ - AW4

    "It works pretty much perfectly when cold, but often won't lock at all if the transmission is hot". This seems to point to the low viscosity fluid. Try using a fluid that meets the spec and/or add another cooler.

    Thinking of Changing coolant- 2003 Ford Windstar

    Good advice above but you seem a little nervous about this. I suggest to just drain, catch and measure whatever you can get out the radiator. Then add 1/2 concentrate 1/2 water back. Do it again every 18 months or so and be ahead of 95% of all cars. G-05 is on sale right now...

    "Will it run" CJ7 revival project - oil recommendations?

    These storage posts always make me smile reading the responses. I was overseas for about 13 years total with a 3 year and a 5 year straight. Each time when I got back after charging and reconnecting the batteries I just fired them up. Drive it an hour and change the oil. 15w-40 is a solid choice...

    Best methods to rule out blown head gasket following loss of serpentine belt

    Romp on it 20 minutes or so each day to get it hot. Check the dipstick and overflow each morning. It is probably fine. The misfiring should show up on a cold start if it is leaking into the cylinders.

    Best methods to rule out blown head gasket following loss of serpentine belt

    Maybe I missed it but was any work done disturbing the cooling system when replacing the power steering pump? Why do you keep taking off the radiator cap? It will suck what it needs from the over flow each heat cycle. Just let it be and check the overflow each morning stone cold. After a couple...

    Odyssey and Oil "Stabilizer"

    The oil warning light requires real troubleshooting. Take the sensor off and run the engine for a second or so then clean your mess and put a gauge on it. This will clear any debris from the valve adjustment job that may be in the sensor port. If the gauge shows single digits at idle, use that...

    Gas smell in oil

    That makes it a lot simpler then. If it was my car and it still ran fine with no codes I would change the oil and forget about it. The injectors should be easily visible. Get a good light and check them for any bulging or cracks first. To test the injectors you will need a decent scanner and a...

    IS300 Acceleration Issue

    The car will not move or the engine will not rev up? If it will not move, I would start by looking at the tranny dipstick.
