I have a 1995 Ford Ranger and the windshield wipers come on sometimes by themselves. Also, the interior light takes forever to go off (and gets extremely hot). We took the bulbs out because we were afraid it would catch on fire.

I have a 1998 Suburban with a 5.7 liter engine. When the engine light is on it runs real smooth but when it goes off the engine shakes and it feels like its missing. Fuel consumption is not affected in any way as far as I can tell.

If a “part” says it meets or exceeds OEM specs, but sells for 80 percent less, what does that say about the quality of the OEM part?

I have 1995 Ford Ranger with a 2.3-liter 4 cylinder engine. If I turn on the heat and brought a turkey with me to work, I’d have dinner ready by the time I got to work.

I have 1995 Ford Ranger with a 2.3-liter 4 cylinder engine. If I turn on the heat and brought a turkey with me to work, I’d have dinner ready by the time I got to work. However, if I turn on the A/C, it only comes out the defrost. I’m assuming I have a combination of issues, which is understandable considering this is the first summer it’s been driven in for four years, and I’m thinking my blend door actuator or something along those lines is acting up. Any suggestions as to what might be causing my issues? Kind of nice to have A/C when you live 30 minutes away in the middle of nowhere.

What causes roaring on my front end? Could it be my tires or my wheel bearing?

I have often wondered if it would be in the best interest of the consumer to have meters to log the hours that an engine is running, like those used in airplanes.

I have often wondered if it would be in the best interest of the consumer to have meters to log the hours that an engine is running, like those used in airplanes. It makes sense. For example: Two separate drivers travel 30,000 miles a year, each. Driver 1’s mileage is, substantially, highway miles while Driver 2’s mileage is in-town/stop and go traffic. Isn’t it the hours on the engine, much more than the miles, that wears an engine down?

I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ 4 cylinder and when it’s idling or in neutral while driving, my RPMs run high, around 2,000-2,500. My gas mileage has become a joke and I have no idea what to do.

I have been working on a 1993 Saturn LS 1.9 DOHC, and it has a DTC of 26, QDM Failure.

I have been working on a 1993 Saturn LS 1.9 DOHC, and it has a DTC of 26, QDM Failure. So far we’ve replaced the coolant temp sensor, due to the fact that it seemed to be a little loose (the plastic was about ready to break off). And I checked for vacuum leaks, ensured the EGR valve wasn’t stuck, and replaced the map sensor. Any other suggestions or could you shed some light on the QDM and what it does exactly?

I have a ’98 Camaro with manual locks and windows. I want to install power locks and power windows. How much would a job like this cost? Would I have to do anything different as far as needing a different type of battery?
