So my son wrangled a deal on a '94 mx6, 2.0 4 cyl auto. Other than the usual TLC that a new-to-us car gets, I call on the BITOG knowledge base for any specific quirks or maintenance issues to look out for on this engine/trans.? Thanks for the input guys.

This car can barely make it up a hill in first with the pedal to the metal. Further, revs won't go much higher than 3500. No CELs. So far I have: - cleaned throttle body - replaced plugs and wires - ruled out a plugged cat - replaced fuel filter - vacuum lines look intact Fuel pump is probably...

these out of an '87 Cressida with ~197k miles. #3 cylinder - wonder where that insulator went?! #5

Owner and manager arrested on 4 felony counts each of theft by conversion -- commenters allege various fraudulent dealership practices.

I'm posting this for my mother, who attempted to revive the hood of her '95 Civic with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and a random orbital. This is the result. I can't speak to technique used. We're presuming the UC got into the cracks and dried. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do/use...

lower control arm, SNAP! half shaft, inner boot This happened yesterday during parking lot maneuvering, driver side. Got it towed home. I presume this half shaft is toast? Comments, pearls of wisdom welcome.

BiL has a '92 Z28 with the 5.0, 180k + miles, prior maintenance history unknown. When he first got it about 8 mos. ago, we did a drain and fill. Tranny started slipping within the last month. So we dropped the pan, changed the filter and refilled with fresh fluid. Now the tranny doesn't slip...

I've been eyeballing some of the new combo wrenches that ratchet on the open end. I know craftsman and gear wrench both offer them -- don't know about any other brands. I'm interested in feedback of anyone who may have these good or bad, TIA.

Captured this one last night in vger, just for fun.

Anyone know if this the real thing or a chinese knockoff?

Hey everybody, AAP's got Mobile Oil on sale! linky

My first UOA on my Voyager. I've owned it since new, maintained it regularly, and never gone more than 4000 mi. on an OCI. This fill was a more or less equal mix of Havo and Supergard 5w30 as I was using up some already opened jugs. This was the first OCI after the rinse cycle of a single dose...

Anyone here use 'em?

Here's one I'd never heard before: BiL tells me that it's widely known that every individual engine has a certain oil level it likes, may or may not be the OEM spec, and will settle to that point if overfilled above its particular "oil level sweet spot". Example, car calls for 5.5 qts, but will...

Anybody catch this new reality show on Speed channel? It's an IRL recreation of the Xbox game. I found it entertaining, especially since I love the game (level 41 here, ahem... ). The show is not entirely true to the game because it contains drag racing and drifting. But the BITOG highlight (or...
