I have a 1992 twin turbo stealth & put a 1991 6G72TT motor in it which is the same motor that came stock & the one year difference shouldnt be a problem w/ my ecu. After i got the motor in & did some tuning i had it running pretty good with a slightly high idle that i adjusted down. After driving it some(less then 100miles) it started to cut out more & more, which I thought might be bad wires but now im thinking its something else. After driving it today i had a problem with my boost. My guage showed me over boosting at like 2500rpms without punching the gas which shouldnt happen but i was not actually getting any boost at all from the turbos & my car kept dying after i gave it some gas. I thought it was a vacuum or intake leak but i couldnt find any. Im going to pressure test it but i wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas of what it could be? I tried to rule out anything else it could be but if anyone else has any ideas i tend to forget simple things now and again...thanks.......

Why does my car not lock when I push the lock button (obviously elec locks), but the built-in security goes crazy if I open the UNLOCKED door without turning the key in the door? Can/should I disarm it? Or how do I fix it so the damn doors lock when I push the button? Its a 1990 Cadillac Seville. Please & thank you!

I put down $1000 on a vehicle that the dealership ordered but was not there yet. They told me in would be there in 4 wks. 4 wks later I find out it will be another four weeks. (8wks total) Can I get my money back if I back out? I technically didn't order the car from scratch is was already on the way. I just put money down to reserve it.

If the check engine light comes on for my 2003 VW Beetle, and I fix the problem myself, will the light go off or do I still need a mechanic to reset the computer?

I leased a car (Mercury Sable) in 2004, but recently the dealership I leased it from closed down. I have three more payments on the lease and I would like to buy the car, but not sure how to go about it now that the dealership has closed? What should I do? Who do I contact to find out how i buy the car?

Alot of people say Roush's GT500 Mustang Model Is Better Due To The Uprgraded Handling, But Shelby On The Other Hand Added Up To 500bhp (really only around 472bhp, so its more like a GT almost 500) Honestly, I like The Shelby More, Even Though Roush's Model Beats The Shelby In Performance (Not too badly)

Okay, gang, here it goes.

We are searching for:

235/75/R 15 (and R 16) Radial tires for our two Chevrolet Silverado C-1500, 2 wheel drive trucks (years 1996 and 2003).

We are interested in:
1) a triple tread tire that is great in the rain
2) raised white letters (or outlined letters)
3) not HORRIBLY expensive!! I mean, we don't want to pay the national debt of a small country to outfit both trucks, y'know?

Many thanks in advance for any help, advice, stories from personal experience,suggestions (keep them clean, please, this is a family show) that will help us in our quest for great, safe tires.

DRIVE SAFELY!

Thank you again.

My 2005 Sub. Baja locked on me the other morning while it was running. I am not sure if my son or I hit the lock button, but I thought that there was a safety feature to prevent it from locking while the keys were in the ignition. I know my 2000 Dodge Stratus had this feature, but if you manually pushed down the lock without using the electronic button, it could be overridden. But the Baja do not have an easy lock to manually or accidentallly push down without using the electric button. I would just like to know how to prevent this from occurring again. Luckily, I had a 3rd key in the house and one house door happened to be unlocked. Otherwise I would have been locked out of the house with the car running and no way to get in the car and no way to get to work. From the answers of my previous question, it is obvious that it is not a valet lockout feature that caused this. PLease help!!!

It runs, but when you're cranking it or while it's running, there is a pooping noise coming from it. My auto tech teacher swears I flattened the cam but I say it's the old timing chain because it constantly needs to be reset. What do you think?

Sometimes when I am drivong my car, it will suddenly loose power for a second, and cuts out real quick, and when it does, the check engine light pops on for a second, the tachometer moves up or down really quick, and the speedometer drops about 10 or more mph, and goes right back up...even if I don't slow down 10 mph. Sometimes this happes repeatedly, one after another.....but sometimes I can drive it miles and not have it happen once. What could be wrong with my vehicle?

I'm considering getting a used Kia Spectra, a 2000 or later model, just as a daily driver to work and stuff. I'm just curious as to how reliable these cars are. I know they've had problems in the 90's, but I'm hoping they've turned things around. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have no experience on a bike and I want to know, what kind of bike would be good to start off with? Keep in mind too, that I plan to drive this only to work and back, which is about 10 minutes from my house. Thanks.

When a school bus is stopped--red lights on--on a four-lane road (not divided), does opposing traffic have to stop? I see some people stop, and others just go.

I live in Ohio. I stop anyway just to be on the safe side.

I just got this car back from the shop and it would not start. Got to looking
at the timing belt and the back cam was off a 1/4 turn. not a very good shop.
Fixed that and know it starts, but as soon as it starts it shuts off. Runs good
for about 2 seconds. Please help. Thanks"

sony gt110, though i doubt its brand or model specific. from the sony harness, are the speaker grounds solid colored wires, or the ones with black tracers?

didn't like the job the radio shop did bypassing the factory amp, so i'm running new speaker wire, only the dudes at the radio shop tossed my wiring diagram, and they appearently wired it up any way it would play. right rear leads were completely unhooked, and the other three were wired in together, two with tracers, one without. i thought about asking the radio dude, but looks to me he didn't know either.

thanks
