My son is having problems with his 96 Saturn SL2. Ever since he had to jump start the car, when the car has been running for awhile, it won't restart without flooring the gas pedal, and then it won't continue to run. If the car sit's for a couple of hours, he has no problem with it starting and...

Recently you guys helped me out with a rough idle on my Malibu, by suggesting that I remove the Idle air control valve from the throttle body and clean it. That worked for me. Now I have offered to help my boss with his same problem. However he has a 97 Ford Contour, and I'll be darned if I can...

I have read about using these tablets and it seems the opion is some what split. My question is, would you use them in my situation. As explained in another post, I have a leaking IMG and I'm trying to delay in replacing it (again). Since it will need to be done, is there any harm in trying...

Hello, new guy here. Well, actually an old guy but new to the forum. Heard of this place from another forum I belong to, when I did a search about Techron. Anyway, I was wondering if there was any way to prove or prove false about a recent radiator flush that I had done. Yesterday, I took my...
