I have a 1988 Chevrolet Caprice. My front tires rub the inside of the fender when I turn the wheels sharply. I’ve had the front suspension looked at and was told everything was fine. Any suggestions?

I have a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville 3.8 Supercharged. When the mass air flow sensor is plugged in the cars RPMs surges when it idles. If I unplug the MAFS the RPMs raise to about 1,000 rpm. I put a brand new TPS and IACV on it.

Why is it that our customers ask us to read the check engine light and then ask us to clear it if they will not fix the problem? They get upset when the light comes back on, and they don’t understand if you dont fix the problem the light wont go away.

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?

Is too much air a bad thing on stock engines?
There is no harm to the engine by having more air enter the system. It may make the engine run easier. Just make sure that the air is filtered. If not, you will have more problems than you realize. Jerry Ives Assistant Professor, Parts Technology Alfred State College, Wellsville Campus
How can one of my customers get his A/C Certification?
