Hello bitogers! I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna with 192k miles that is overheating. It started about a week and a half ago. As soon as it overheated I was lucky enough for it to be right next to the shop so I took it straight there (heater on high the whole way and all that jazz) Kept a close eye...

Hey guys I have an old delta faucet from 88 that just messed the bed. The diverter gave out and well...This is not a diverter that can be just changed out. It's a whole spout replacement deal. Here's the issue my spout is a 3/4 inch spout and all I can find are 1/2 inch replacements. I tried...

Hey everyone I'm chasing down a misfire on my wifes 2011 Prius. The issue is oil is getting into the combustion chamber and is coating the plug causing no spark/misfire. P0303 is the code. The plug looks like someone dipped the electrode/threads in a vat of oil. It's coming from underneath the...

Hello everyone! I was wanting to get some insight on hi temp threadlocker. I replaced my wifes 2011 Prius fuel injectors around 2 weeks ago. In doing so I cross threaded/stripped one of the fuel rail bolts. There are two fuel rail bolts and the other holds tension just fine. We will be going on...

Alright BIOTGER's my question is what fuel system cleaner has the most PEA? I have been an avid Gumout high mileage regane user until the multi system tune up came out. I've used it and now I see there is a Gumout One n Done. Also I know redline and techron has pea as well as the 3m cleaner. My...

Hello everyone I have a Toyota Prius 2011 3rd gen around 155k miles that is throwing a misfire code on cylinder 3. I ran a can of the gumout (looks like the seafoam can) tuneup through the gas tank and the code disappeared for a month or so. I just got these plugs...

Hello fellow members! I have most likely an easy question for you. I have an 04 Toyota Sienna that has been popping an a/f ratio sensor code since October of last year. The car ran fine and I just got around to replacing the sensor Saturday. It was not driven until today. I cleared the code and...

I have just inherited a 2011 Toyota Prius. I've been doing a bit of reading on it and am comfortable doing a DIY atf change. From what I've read these are CVT transmissions that use Toyota WS fluid. It looks to use around 4-5 quarts an oil change and uses a drain/fill bolt like a differential...

Hey guys my 1.8l Nissan Sentra with 230k is having issues this morning. It cranks but does not turn over. You can hear it trying and I can hear the fuel pump engage but nothing! I took off the coil boots and used a spare spark plug to see if it would spark when I tested and nothing. I first...

So looks like I've got a bad coil pack on the Sentra. Was driving her home today and it threw a code and ran/idled pretty rough. Felt like a misfire right off the bat. So went on YouTube and looked at how to troubleshoot coil packs via pulling it off the plug and see if the car tries to stall...

I was wondering what the thoughts would be of doing 2 5k ocis on the Fram toughguard or 3 5k ocis on the Fram ultra filter? This will be for a 00 Nissan sentra 1.8l with 225k. I will be running Havoline High Mileage 5w 30 (from the previous walmart sale) and am trying to save a bit of money. I...

Hello biotgers! My ac on the Sentra (225k miles) decided to call it quits this Sunday so now I have two temperatures...Hot and hotter. So naturally I figured it was low on refrigerant but I did some snooping around under the hood before adding any since now I have about 6 months or so to figure...

Hello! I was greeted with the classic signs of low refrigerant on Friday. My AC was not cooling and the indoor coil was frozen as well as the compressor/copper tubes. Then everything thawed so I cranked it back on and grabbed the large pipe outside at the condenser...No temperature...Not even...

Hello! I have a rather odd question. I live in the south east and as you know it's been slightly warm this summer Now I got the wild hair to sweep the chimney this weekend and when I opened the flue I got a pretty big whiff of what smelled to be attic air. Now I do have a fresh air intake on...

Hello fellow BITOGERs! I have a weird issue at hand and want some opinions to see what you think! I have a 00 Nissan Sentra 1.8L auto tranny that has delayed shifts that are always fixed by a drain/fill of new Maxlife ATF. Let me give a little history on the car...I got the car when it was right...

Well this morning I was greeted with the battery/brake light on the instrument cluster on my way to work. From the little bit of reading up I've done this could be an alternator/battery issue. I'm going to take it by the part store to have the machine hooked up to see if they can tell what it...

Hey bitogers! I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row with my wifes 95 Toyota Corolla. I have all the service records back to the first oil change and do not show any mention of any oil changes on the manual transmission. I have the Haynes manual and it states GL4 or 5 and 75w90 or 80w90 can be...

Hey bitogers! I just wanted to report that I have a high mileage (210k) 00 Nissan Sentra and decided to add a full can of Chemtool to a little under a half tank of gas. This would be somewhere in the ballpark of 5-7 gallons of gas. So far the car is running much smoother and I plan on running...

Hey BITOGERS I have a new to me Sentra with right at 200k miles on it. I live in the FL panhandle and was wondering what oil weight you would suggest I use? I was thinking of going the synthetic route, for extended oci's, but honestly I'm all ears!

Hey BITOGer's my wife will be picking up a 95 5 spd manual 1.8L Toyota Corolla with right over 200k miles on it. It looks garage kept and has been maintained with all of the PM. My question is this is a manual, and not having owned a manual, I am unsure of how often to change the MTF. Also with...
