I have checked the antenna connections and they seem secure. I even replaced the outside antenna with a passive "amplified" one, no luck. now if I am standing really close to the outside antenna, I seem to get a bit of a better signal, but other than that... any solutions out there????

I have 2 pioneer 760watt amps pushing 2 sony xplode 12" 1200watt subs. I recently installed 4awg wire with a distribution block, and have 4awg wire one to each amp, and one to a capacitor(1 farad). I have seen that I should have two wires to the positive of the cap and back to the distribution block, but as of now, I have the one wire going to it. any recommendations?

I just bought a 1974 Honda CB 550 four. It needs some minor work. Do any of you guys know someone in Chicago who is specialized in these bikes? Who do you reccomend? I love the bike and I really want the work that I can not do done right.
It needs a tune up and cleaned carbs.

Thanks so much guys, you Honda techs have really helped me out a ton with all my questions. As a rookie your advice has been extremely valuable to me. Thanks.

WHY...Why do people buy these Huge, Monsterous vehicles that are meant for Rugged off-road conditions but yet they creeeeep ever-so-slowly over the smallest, tiniest little bumps in the road. Then you have people who drive cars and they go over the same bump, not even having having to slow down for it.
I'm not asking for why you drive one or for how spacious it is compared to that of a car (massimo). I am asking why You drive this vehicle that is almost the size of a tank but yet you almost come to a complete stop to go over a little bump or dip in the road.

My husband and I are debating whether to get a third car. His side: it would be convenient to have a third car if one of the others breaks down. My side: our other two cars are in good running order, and adding a new car to the mix doesn't make sense economically or environmentally. Our current cars include a 1996 Dodge Neon and a 1999 Toyota 4Runner. We own, no payments. I think we should continue to save money until we absolutely need a new car, but he says it is a pain to rent one every time he needs to work on one of the others. Today he told me, "Fine, you don't want another car, you can just walk to work the next time one of them breaks down." He truly thinks I am making a stupid decision by not wanting to tie up our budget in a car that we don't need right now. It's cheaper to rent one once or twice a year than to buy one and pay for it every month. Both cars are currently running well.

Selling my 93' Nissan Altima and I've always like Cherokees. My friend is selling a 92' Cherokee (4D, automatic, 4WD) for $1000. The only thing wrong is the CV joints. He's a good friend and also the maintenance director at the hotel I work at (and he's very good with cars). So basically, I know he won't try to cheat me, it's just a matter of determining whether I should sell my 93' Nissan Altima GXE for this 92' Cherokee. I've always like the way they looked and people have told me they basically "last forever" (which people said about my Altima but I've had to replace 2 fuel injectors). But anyways, this Cherokee has 150,000 miles on it. Let me know your opinion on this deal. Thanks in advanced for the response!

No turn signals or e-flashers. Suspect the flasher relay, but can't find it.

Speedometer fluctuates to maximum and back to zero with complete power loss (but lights still work) while in motion and sometimes stopped; at times indicator jumps back and forth only slightly while key is turned on or engine still running. Have replaced speed sensor and cleaned ground. The problem is very erratic and comes with no notice at any tiem. No solution yet

I just bought this 1974 Honda CB550. I have hardly any tools for it. What do need to get? I hear you need a specific wratchet set to work on these, I'm not shure if it was metric or what. If you know of a set that would be good let me know.

Thanks,

Ed

This is probably an odd question, but I have a reason for asking it. On my 02 focus there's a tiny black diamond pattern grid type design along the inside outer edge of the front wind sheild. It flairs out a bit above the rear view mirror, and I'm curious (with good reason) to know what the @#%% it is. Please respond ONLY if you do know. Thanks

I think my car may have a loose vacuum hose. Whenever I'm at a stop with my foot on the brake pedal, the car vibrates. Then when I accelerate, it goes away. But sometimes there is no vibration at all. It's on & off. If there is a loose hose, will it correct itself on it's own without adjusting it?

My partner is convinced he can drive my sons car. My partner has not owned a car for 6 years and therefore has no insurance of his own. He is convinced he himself would not need insurance as long as my son has his car insured fully comprehensive. My son and I disagree with him but can anybody confirm this for said partner please?
