I'm looking for Kaw parts 14073-1052 (qty 2) and 14073-1053 (qty 2). These are the air ducts that go from the air box to the carbs. They go on a 1981 KZ650-H1 CSR. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Help! I failed my emissions, so i have 30 days to resolve this. The NOX was way high, and we found that the EGR valve wasnt working. turns out, that was fine, the solenoid was fine; there was no vacuum pressure. We checked the tubes, all clear. We checked the computer, and it says that everything is fine. The filter is clear. What could possibly be wrong? Again, no vacuum going to the EGR. Help!

I have a 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS 3.1L engine. Given my type of car, would straight piping my catalytic converter increase or decrease horsepower, or would it do nothing? Even more would it harm my car in any way?

I am an inventor and I'm developing a business plan for the purpose of developing and marketing a high performance electric motor that does not use gasoline at all. In theory, it can reproduce the same level of performance as a gasoline motor. The idea is to produce the motors, and sell them to distributors. The distributors (local automovtive repair facilities), in turn, sell and install the motors to the end-user. Who would be up for that?

I'm gonna try this gas out thingy this year for the first time. Lets all try it and see what happens. I've read all the anti-gas out stuff but I'm still gonna give it a shot for the heck of it.

My 306 XSI 2.0 16v keeps cutting out while I am driving..no pattern to it at all and it idles fine. I've had the fuel filter changed and diagnostics bring up no codes so my mechanic wants to change the fuel pump.
Does anyone know whether this is a good idea or have any other ideas becuase I love my car and don't want to sell it.
Thanks xxx

ok.Court was a month ago!It was agreed upon that parental rights would be terminated & custody be given to me.We were never married.HE refused evaluations,refused dna,refused councelling,cancelled his order for partial custody & had the judge put in the paperwork that if I gave him 600 dollars,he would sign off his rights.In court,he did not have a lawyer present,& said he wanted to go by the agreement.Now,he has yet to sign anything as the check STILL sits @ the lawyers even though he ws notified!After 3 years of fighting for my 4 year old twins, this decision was made because of violence and a pfa order.WIll this automatically be in my favor even if he thinks this is a jokefest and never signs anything? I know he'll never go to jail because he gets away with EVERYTHING.I was given full sole legal custody but I think alls he is going to do is insult and piss off what decision was made in court that day.This was HIS idea.Also this is what he wanted in mediation

I see this on public transit (buses) in the city where I live. Does it have anything to do with the environment? How does it differ from (if it does) "Go green"?

I dont have any front speakers hooked up, I just have my 2 rear speakers hooked up. When I turn on my cd player I have no sound coming out of my rear speakers. Then I took a little surround sound speaker that I have in my house and connected it to the wires straight from the cdplayer that the front speakers should be hooked up to so I could just see if that would work then either one of both of my rear speakers were working + the little speaker I hooked up, then I turned the cd player off and turned it back on now none of the speakers work. I checked all fuses and wires all were good. anyone know why this is happening.

Many accidents are caused by improperly inflated tires, and gas mileage is reduced when the tires are under-inflated.
See the owner's manual for recommended tire pressure, or the tire manufacturer.

why on Earth can't you at least wait until the car has stopped to light the cigarette or dial the phone? I jump 10 feet every time I see someone bearing down on me with their eyes on their cigarette or cell instead of the road. And please no "it only takes a second." In 1999, that second resulted in my getting hit and suffering 3 broken bones.....

What matters a lot to me is the actual cost of the vehicle, fuel economy, space for hauling camping or sports equipment (like cross country skiis) around, and how well the car will perform in it's lifespan. Is the Civic a far better car than the Yaris and worth the $3000 - $4000 more than the Yaris? Or is the Yaris as reliable as the Civic?

We are thinking of buying a used vehicle. Maybe a BMW or Lexus?? Something probably 3 to 6 years old depending on what we can do in price. I have heard you have to get special maintenance on these "previously" expensive vehicles. Can anyone tell me about that? What about repairs.. is it even worth it? We want some of the little luxuries from one of these used vehicles but I don't want to spend $100 for an oil change on a $15,000 car.
