    Can poor quality gas cause a P0420 (Cat Failure)?

    Nope. Once it throws a P0420, the cat is done. Start looking for a replacement. It MAY be a fluke, most likely not.

    So I Was Talking to AcuraTech Tonight...

    To avoid seeming psychotic and insensitive, I love cats, I have one myself! No joke, that's what was stuck in there. I felt really bad, but by that point it was game over for kitty. I felt even worse for the guy who had to get it out, he had to pull the axle to get it out because it was frozen...

    Next Decade

    The next decade will be: Nobody will be able to call it at all. Think of it this way. Take yourself mentally back to the year 2000 and where the car market was at. Then see if you could have predicted where it would be at now. No way. If this was still the year 2000, no way we would have...

    My truck keeps dying!

    Need to narrow it down more. Could be anything at this point. First of all find out if it's a spark or fuel problem. Go from there.

    Bridestone Potenza G009

    Had these on my Legend for over 5 years. Good tire in the rain and dry conditions. I had 40k on them and still 5-6/32nds of tread remaining. Got rid of them because they got super noisy and caused a tire pull to the right. Overall just OK>

    NipponDenso Platinum TT gap?

    Do not gap platinum and iridium plugs. Gapping is for copper plugs only. If the gap on platinum is not correct out of the box, you have the wrong plugs. I haven't gapped a set of plugs in 10 years. If they aren't correct out of the box, it's a problem at the factory.

    10 Lifestyle Changes That Will Keep You Alive

    1. Fortunate enough to have had plenty of this the last 10 years. No shortage there. (Having long term girlfriends prevents the dry spells bachelors go through) 2. The benefits of good oral hygiene can't be overstated. 3. Sun is good to a degree, depending on skin type. I have pale skin with...

    quieter vacuum cleaner suggestion

    I like my Kirby. I got it at a thrift sale for 25 dollars. Heavy as a tank but works like a champ and easily replaceable parts. Not that loud either. Seems that the cheaper vacuums often have louder motors.

    "Import" Check engine lights

    Eggs

    BTW, those interested in composting, chickens are one of the most ecological ways to get rid of vegetable scraps and leftovers. Pretty much anything you would find in the produce section of a grocery store, chickens will eat. With the exception of pungent foods like onion and garlic. Those make...

    Eggs

    Eggs are a great food, high in minerals and proteins. BUT they need to be high quality eggs. Chickens that live in cages and get fed rendered corn do not make healthy eggs. Best eggs I've ever had were chickens my parents raised, they were not only fed chicken feed but also lots of garden scraps...

    Hyundai tops Honda: Most fuel efficient automaker

    Of course this turns into a domestic/foreign flaming match. It is BITOG, after all. Stay on topic, people. Fact is that Hyundai came up in the game by blatantly copying Toyota engine design. Once they started selling enough cars, they finally put some money into their own R&D. I still wouldn't...

    How do YOU check used cars??

    Meh. I just kick the tires and see how nice the stereo sounds. That's the best way to do it, right?
