Cars & Transportation - 17 October 2006

ive got a 96 chevy s10 4 cyl 2.2 liter, 2 years ago the spark plug in my #4 cylinder popped out of the head and had to have it helicoiled. I havent had any problems until recently my truck would missfire during idling and the check engine light came on so i had the codes scanned and sure enough it was #4 again, i didnt realize that cylinder #4 was the one that had been helicoiled until i pulled the plug off and the helicoil came with it, i replaced the plug and new helicoil for the time being and it seems to run normally, i have to drive from missouri to seattle do you think i could make it, its about 2 and half days, i dont have time to repair the head and dont know how safe it is?

Four weeks ago I took delivery of my Fabia vRS. And am absolutely chuffed with the car.
I am still getting to grips with it but the instruction manual that is supplied is not very informative.
This is my opinion but do any other vRS owners agree with me.

P.S. It's the best and fastest car I have ever owned-and Its a Skoda

Loads of people hate 4X4's, I know that, but why do they pick on them? My Discovery is no bigger than my last car, an Espace. It uses the same amount of fuel per mile. Lots of 4X4's are small cars, which wouldn't get far off road (BMW X3, X5, soft roaders etc) but their owners like them. Now my point is if you accept that some 4X4's are smaller and do more mpg than some 4X2's, and produce less polution why does nobody complain about 4X2's that are big, heavy on fuel produce high pollution? A Rolls Royce is much bigger and thirstier than most 4X4's, and so are many other 'normal' cars, but no complaints. This negates the arguement.

Where I live on the Mesabi Iron range, all of the taconite and CN trains are diesel-electric. What else is there nowadays?

Looking for a good detailed set or wiring diagrams that can tell me what the different color wires corresponds to in the wiring harness in the rear of the car near the tail lights.
I know the black wire is ground.
But dont know that the other 10 wires are for?
Turns?Stops? Parking?

Okay, so the rear defroster/defogger doesn't work.
It doesn't turn on, the button doesn't light up, and I hear no sounds or anything at all. I haven't been able to find any information online, useful or not. If someone could tell me where the connectors for it are it would be very helpful, because I don't want to remove the ceiling lining not knowing if the line even goes on the roof or if it goes elsewhere. I've looked for books but haven't been able to find it. All fuses are okay, all relays are okay.
Also, my vents don't close although I hear a clicking sound when I push the button and the AC doesn't work although there is freon inside and there is pressure, when you turn on the fans, the AC light turns on as well as if the AC works but it doesn't and cannot be turned off. If this helps in anyway since it's all on the same pannel.
Someone please help.

Thank you in advance.

It's usually on a floating dock but the dock took on water and the jet ski sat in the water for about a week with the rear end sitting in the water. Now it's got some kind of deposit on it and would like to clean it off.

The vehicle is a 1991 Honda Accord the problem seems temp. sensitive being worse in cooler weather. This sounds like a relay but i've checked the wiring schematic and there isn't one. The only thing else i can think of is the switch its self which is very expensive. Any alternatives or suggestions are appriciated.

i have a 95 nissian altima gxe. recently it started dieing when at idle and while turning, then it will be hard to start if it will start at all-especially when it gets hot. I'll let it cool down and sometimes it will start and run ok for about 15 mins then same thing, or it won't start or hard to start and I'll have to try again later. There is no apparent reason that it dies out other than it seems to be heat related. replaced mass air flow sensor, egr solenoid, had intake leak and repalced intake gasket, taken to dealer and had checked out 6 times they were unable to properly diag the problem. the car is now in a regular car shop and they are having a hard time too. if there is any techs out there that have run accross this problem before please let me know what it is.

Yes, my daughter has never been on an airplane. My son went on one last year, it didn't seem to bother him. He tugged at his ear for a moment or two afterwards. But he wasn't crying or anything. I'm the one that has terrible trouble with my ears on a plane. I can't stand it. I just don't want her to be in any pain.
