I have a 1987 Dodge dakota. It's wired for a 6 round plug. When I wire my trailer I have just two lights in the back when ever I turn the right or the left blinker on they both dimly blink like hazard lights. When I tap the brakes the trailer lights don't come on and when I turn my night lights on they trailer lights don't work. Just when I turn the blinkers on and I can't even get that right. Any ideas?

My brother has a car that he keeps in mint condition. He only drives the car 15 miles every 3 months. He has not changed the oil in two years and it is still clear. I told him he should change it cause the viscosity has broken down. He claims that since the car is only driven 15 miles every 3 months and he keeps it in his garage and that the oil is still golden that it does not need to be changed? Is he right?

I'm driving an 2005 Omni OMX-600. It's a little two-stroke engine and usually getes 40mph tops. (Spec to get 45). I'm still breaking it in though, so I don't open the throttle up all the way.

I've been reading about these governors on scooters like that limit the speed, or at least limit the max RPM of the engine.

Can someone help me know how these things work, and what the pros and cons are of removing / modifying one?

It seems that making the max RPM higher could hurt the engine, even if it did allow me to go a bit faster.

If I was going to remove it, how would I go about doing it? It seems that these governors take different forms sometimes.

What do you think?

"My 1991 Suburban acts like its not getting enough gas and sometimes stalls. What could cause this?
I have replaced the spark plugs, the fuel filter, and treated the gas with STP. When I turn the air conditioner off, it doesn't act as bad but will still hesitate some. I am wondering if the fuel pump is going bad. Does anyone have any suggestions?"
This was what I asked the other day. I have now taken the suburban in. They found that the overflow tank was busted and I was almost out of water in my radiator. So they refilled my radiator and replaced the overflow tank. They thought that that would fix it. It is not hesitating anymore while I am driving, but when I try to start the car it will start then die once or twice before getting going. Anyone know what else could be the problem?

I drive through back to back traffic every day (an hour and a half sometimes) to go to work, and I'd say I spend about $70 a week for a mid-size car.
I'd go for public transportation if it was available that far away, but it's not. I don't even go out much anymore because I am tired of the gas gage speedily going down to empty-----do you know what I mean?
What do you spend?
What would we do if we had to pay $5-6 for a gallon of gas!?!?!?

i have aftermarket carb and headers. i have been told that pinholes in headers could cause problem. i have also learned that imcomplete combustion of fuel would cause that, thus leading me to timing... or a/f mistuned on carb. could both or neither..what else could cause this? HA! or only driving style?

84 chevy 305, edelbrock carb,3" headers, mufflers. no cat conv. no other pertinent alterations...other than emissions crap.

i do not backfire always..and there is no fire spewing from the carb itself.

I had my radiator and thermostate replaced and it still leaks water and gets hot. would it be wise to replace water pump and fan belt? How would i know if there is engine damage?

One day the a/c just stopped blowing cold air. It was approaching winter and I was broke, so I didn't worry about it. One day, I had it "on", but just for the blowing air and without ANY reason, it started blowing cold air...for a few minutes. This happened off and on for a few months.
Then one day, it started blowing cool air and it kept doing it for about 2 weeks. Then it stopped and hasn't started again. When it "starts" working, it does it completely on its own. No bumps, hard stops or anything...just cruising along and it starts or stops. The car has about 101k miles, but otherwise works perfectly fine. As I said, the blower works, the heater works, just no cold air. I bought a book on how to repair PT's, but no answer in there. I've asked a few friends... one suggested it could be some sort of electrical or "relay" type short. New fuses didn't help. Someone PLEASE point me in the right direction! It's mighty hot down here in Texas!

I was recently involved in an automobile accident. the driver in front of me ran over an inanimate object and it flew back and tore up the front and side end of my car. my insurance company said her insurance most likely wasnt going to pay b/c her car never touched mine so my insurance adjuster came out and did an estimate then notified me and told me to start the repairs and the check was in the mail on the hand the other insurance is going to pay 100% of the damages and said that my check will be mailed out so what am i suppose to do with both checks.

I love Neon R/T's! They kick butt. They look great and drive great. A lot of my friends think that Neon's suck, and would rather have a Honda! Just shoot me now! An R/T would crush a Honda!!!
