Cars & Transportation - 30 June 2006

1995 Olds Aurora , 4.0 litre V8, needs at least some, if not all injectors replaced. Once plenum is removed, the injectors sit right on the top of the engine and are really easy to access (the only thing on this car easy to get to). Is there a trick to changing these things out, or is it a straight forward job that anyone with a little mechanical ability could do? Do they need to be tightened with a specific torque spec?

The defendant's bac was .07. The law in the defendant's state states "Must be .08 or above OR be noticeably and perceivably intoxicated." The defendant was pulled over for speeding, but was not driving eratically. A video shows the defendant speaking clearly and appearing sober. The video cuts out right before the field sobriety tests occur. The officer states that the defendant failed field sobriety tests, and that he had very bloodshot, watery eyes, slow slurred speech, and a strong odor of alcohol and that his blood alcohol percentage reading of .07 may have actually been higher when he was driving. The defendant states he has a documented history of hayfever and thus bloodshot, watery eyes and speaking with a lisp, much of the alcohol odor could have been from his passenger, and that he did not feel intoxicated. Thanks.

I have a 1982 Yamaha xv 750 Virago it will only fire on cylinder 1 for some reason # 2 will not fire. Appears to have good spark and good compression and is getting gas.

The hint is "With first of eight fixed firmly on three, Turn all eyes 'till all sights see." I get that I have to use the eight eye card but can't get further then that.

What is your actual mileage? Characterize your maintenance/repair experience. Is there any advantage to the hybrid when most driving is highway, not city, and annual mileage is 35,000-40,000?

i have a 97 jdm b20b. 1st of all, i'm still not sure if it's the same as usdm 99-00 b20z2. i've had both, the z is stronger, but maybe it's the head. i have a b16 head(type r intake cam) on the b20b and i had a gsr(stock) on the b20z2. is the gsr head going to make a stronger motor? let's put the itr head outta the question. i know the gsr will bump up compression .2 higher.

I passed on my second time when I was 18, but I didn't like the attitude of the second trooper I did it with because while he was nicer than the first, he slammed the dashboard of my car because I got an answer wrong he asked me then grilled me for not having a girlfriend saying "why not", then he bitched because he was too tall for the car. Was there anything behind this?

Basically, do you stay stock (even though the engine did not originate with this vehicle but is correctly numbered), or do you go with a new more powerful "Krate" engine (about the same cost once you figure in the rebuilding fees for the 265 block).
