Cars & Transportation - 27 November 2006

'91 Honda XR250 with a 30mm Keihin. It also has an FMF powercore pipe and seems to have been poorly jetted, at the least the low speed jet. Can I take a carb with a larger throttle body and just bolt it on? Will I see a performance difference? How do I tune it with the exhaust?

For the last 2-3 days I have noticed a strange squeeling noise coming from my engine bay, I only hear it if im at a redlight or drive thru or something, not when driving, it seems to be happening during low rpms only, >1k rpms usually. What do you guys think it could be?

I have a 95 Jeep Wrangler and I recently put a lift and bigger tires. I want to take off the old tire since it is much smaller than the new tires but if I take the spare off then I have the spare holder which also holds the brake light... So I'm hoping to take that off (which will also remove the spare holder/brake light)

So my question is "Is a third brake light required in Colorado?"

Thanks everyone and if you have a source please post it so I can print it off...

I want to buy an SUV or truck that I can daily drive, then put my motorcycle in the back when I want to go to the track or the mountains. I kind of would prefer an SUV so I can throw other stuff in the back that shouldn't get wet when it rains(like people). I'm a college student so I don't have a whole lot of money so I was going to buy used.

I found a '96 4dr blazer for sale with 170k miles and 70k miles on the engine for $2500. I'm don't think I would give him his asking price unless it turns out to look really clean and drives really nice. I also don't know if the blazer will carry the motorcycle (can't find the length of the back with the seats out and the height of the hatch).

anyway, I'm not in much of a rush to buy anything so I will sit around for a good deal. Are there any SUVs I should be taking a special notice to? once again, I'm not apposed to trucks, any trucks I should be looking at?

thanks in advance for the input.

My antifreeze is full and there is no spraying or leaking that I can see but when my car is idling the temp gauge overheats. What could it be?

It's my understanding that higher RPM equals higher fuel consumption. So, if you're going down a steep hill, using engine braking, and your engine is at 4000 RPM, is it needlessly guzzing gas? Or, does gas only flow to the engine when I press the gas pedal?

I'm asking in reference to a 2003 Honda Civic, if that matters.

I need to sell my car but I still owe money on it, I need the title to be able to sell it to someone but the bank still has a lien on the car because the loan is not paid off, I need to sell the car, pay the loan without having to borrow money to pay it off before selling it, has anyone had a similar issue?

I have noticed that cars from say, 1920 to 1973 have great curves, and lines, but after that, they just lost their art; who agrees?

I have a car that fails to pass smog due to a transmission conversion. I'm wondering if I can legally sell the car and transfer the title "as-is" without having to smog it for the buyer.

usually when driving the police will give you a 5-10mph grace above the speed limit. I saw a lot of cars pulled over on I75 just north of Toledo in Michigan.

Are they passing tickets for 75, 80, 85mph? what kinds of grace to they allow?

I have the 6cyl engine. The car will run and have good heat then go cold and overheat. We replaced the thermostat and radiator cap. The cooling system has lots of pressure. It seems as though it just gets overpressured and comes out. Could it possibly be the waterpump? Head gasket....but fluid all looks good? An obstruction maybe? Just need Burperd/Bled? Any other ideas or suggestions?
