Any tips on how to improve my speed, with out doing any major body work on my car? I want to take it out for the weekend and drag race it out at Norwalk, a track in Ohio, with others on what could be called amateur night. They match you up with those around your car and skill, so I just want some small adjustments the help me prove Mustangs rein supreme.

Hey guys, I'm installing my amp right now, and I've ran the power cable (battery to amp) already on the left side of the car/side-floor panel.

Now I'm trying to run the RF/REM cables on the right side the same way. But I'm having a real problem getting the cables from the stereo area through the bottom of the dash board.

If anyone has any tips would be awesome, I'd hate to have to take the whole thing apart so if anyone knows of a better way I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance - Mark

Wednesday I'm taking my driver's test. I live in Cary, North Carolina which is close to raleigh so they might be similar. I moved here 2 years ago so I don't know what they have you do on the road test . I'm also 17 if that makes a difference. I'm wondering what they have you do. I was told they don't make you parallel park or highway drive. I don't know if thats true or not so If anybody has taken it could you tell me what they ask you to do. I know we have to do a 3-pt turn but do they make you do it in the road or do they tell you to do it on a residential street. I think i'm ready but I can't parallel park and I haven't practiced high way driving down here. I would love any advice at all!

It has an off idle stumble and likes and acts like it's going to die, but you give it gas and it takes off fine. Driving down the road if you let off the gas it acts like it's going to die again. I changed cap,rotor,distributor, idle air control, ignition control,throttle position sensor,fuel filter, and fuel pump, and egr valve. I'm completely stumped and it shows no codes. If any one has an idea or has had the same problem let me know what fixed the problem.

I currently drive a Nissan Sentra, but any time it rains or snows my car is all over the road. This has been ok, but I'm looking at moving to a small Nebraska town where snow removal could be sketchy and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on a good (fuel effecient) vehicle.

my mother's car broke in a small townm the mechanics said it gonna cost $ 700 to fix it.Final cost turned to be $1300.
I think he was lying since he said it gonna be fixed in 1 day but took him 1 week. also he wanted to charge more if he gonna work on saturday & finally wanted to charge extra $150 if he is to replace a part in one day rather than ordering it & replacing it in 3-4 days.
he is not a memer of AAA or ASA (auto service association) & the Better business bureau may not handle such a case.

How do LA residents cope with such horrible incidents of road rage? There's been shootings and people are constantly chasing each other on the freeway for numerous reasons. I've never seen anything like it in my life. The human population in LA completely disgusts me when these assholes get on the road. They have no consideration for human life.

I was told by a mechanic that it could be my carbs. Is that possible? I could see if it was the spark plug or the ignition coil. Please let me know of things to check. Thanks everyone.

We are planning to get a new car/SUV soon and we want a fuel efficient one because my sister just got her licens and is now going to drive my moms car. I was thinking about an Escape Hybrid, and my dad has the ok on it because he likes the style and the mpg (31-36 mph), but my mom hates any American made car. I have told her that Ford has now beat Nissan and is equal to Toyota in quality and that they have earned the most awards than any car manufacturer in the world. She still hates Fords and will only choose something Japanese or European. I was also thinking about a Lincoln MKX, which my dad has the ok with that too, but my mom wants the bland looking Lexus RX350. How will I convince her to at least look at a Ford?

It appears to be necessary, to remove the intake manifold from the cylinder head, in order to access the starter mounting bolts. I hope, I am missing something. I can't believe, so much disassembly is required, to replace the starter.

The engine size is 2.0 liter. The transmission is a manual five speed transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the last quarter of the model year.
