Cars & Transportation - 9 August 2006

I have a 2003 Saturn Vue with ABS. The front wheels have disk breaks and the rear wheels have drum breaks. My friend says that only my front wheels have ABS, since they are disk breaks. He tells me that the rear wheels do not have ABS since they are drum breaks. I think that all 4 wheels have ABS. Anyone know the answer? Outside sources would be a plus. Thanks!

I have a 1999 Nissan Maxima (VQ30DE 3.0l V6) with custom headers, a catback exhaust, and a highflow catalytic converter. I was wondering if it is possible for me to be losing power due to the lack of backpressure that is seen on a stock exhaust.

The other night my 2001 Honda Accord (2.3l) began losing acceleration power. It kept getting worse and worse and I noticed that in first gear the car would not have enough power to move itself unless I gave it a high rev. The next day the problem continued to worsen as I noticed that the engine was surging and lagging all across the powerband. I drove home from work the same day and the acceleration was almost non existent, a few minutes after leaving work it finally died and has refused to start since. The Check engine light never came on and it is not the fuel pump.

My elderly neighber (80 yrs plus) is having trouble with her Cadillac. Shes' on a fixed income, so I need to help her out. I'm pretty good with a wrench, but sure could use some help on this one! The dealer wants $600.00 for plugs and wires, installed. Napa $120.00 for parts. The car has 93457 miles on it, and rats have chewed the wires. That P0717--Does that mean the trani is shot? Auto Zone said it's getting low voltage. Can I fix this? The service engine light is on, and on the dash it says "service the transmission". I changed the filter and trani fluid six months ago. The fluid is clean, no discoloration, and no burnt odor. It appears as new as when I put it in, and it is on the full mark. Any help or links will be welcome. Thank You, Rowdy

Without trial and error and thus destroying an engine (or several engines), how would one decide what the maximum safe rpm's of an engine would be? I can understand that the factory may be willing to sacrifice several engines in an experiment of selfdestruction but I do not believe that the redline on a factory tach is that accurate. I have seen cars with the same tach and same redline shown on it despite quite different engine options. I also believe that the factory would pick a conservative RPM and then show the redline to be somewhat below that, just to discourage people from abusing their product (especially while under warrany) So, if some hotrodder takes an engine and has it balanced, and new cam and springs installed and any number of other modifications, how does he know/guess what the redline will be ? That is without actually destroying the engine and then deciding that the redline would be less then that.?

Has anyone noticed when driving Caravan Sport the shadow it casts off the hood of the car looks just like silhouette of Shrek?? Try it. It has to be the right time of day, of course. You want the shadow right in front of the car for best effect.
