Guys berate the Japanese bike makers? Don't they realize that without the insight of their Japanese counterparts their couches (with exception to the V-Rod family) ... er bikes would be puking oil and they'd still have to adjust the carbs every second set of lights?...

I have a unique situation I think. I have a 1995 Olds Cutlass Supreme. When I drive it after a few minutes, the Thermostat shows HOT. After a few more minutes, it bounces back to medium. At that moment, in cold weather, I would get a blast of heat. Up to that point, my heater wasn't working. Then the cycle repeats, all the way to HOT, a blast of heat from the heater, then back to normal again. Over the past few weeks, I've added coolant 50/50 mix almost daily. I can spot no leaks anywhere. My buddy is a gearhead and he cannot figure it out either. The thermostat has been replaced and both fans on the radiator work.. Any ideas??

The bridge collapse in Minnesota made me think of this...
I've heard before that if your car ends up going into deep water, that you will probably not be able to open the car doors because of the water pressure. I heard that to escape from your submerged car, you would need to roll down the windows.

That was fine back in the days when cars had cranks to roll the windows down, but now, all the windows have electronic push button controls. Those controls probably won't work if your car is underwater. Is there some way to get the windows down in that sort of emergency? Or should we just be carrying something heavy to smash our windows with in emergencies?

Despite being on a lake with several floating decks, absolutely no one local, (owners, marine shop, handymen) can tell me how to acquire plastic 55 gallon drums. Any thoughts? This is a relatively inexpensive item, typically recycled, but large, so I fear shipping costs would be ten times the price of the barrels themselves.

I just picked up an '87 Toyota 4x4 that the seller thought had lost reverse. The fluid doesn't seem overly burnt, a little tinge of brown but doesn't smell badly burned. With the shifter in reverse position the motor builds RPM a little but not like with no load, in neutral position it drives forward easily and in park it shutters back and forth like it wants to back up but can't when given some throttle. It appears to have all 4 forward gears and overdrive will shut off/ turn on with the switch. It seems like it could be a shifter adjustment thing, I've never owned or worked on a Toyota before so the cable shifter is a little suspicious but foreign to me. I've fryed 6-&00R4's in 4 different Chevy trucks and when reverse goes that was usually the last gear to be there following first and started out by 2nd,3rd and 4th. I bought a book, tranny fluid and filter with thoughts of diving into that over the weekend and I'm not to proud to seek some prior knowledge from those who know more.

I installed a new ECM on my 94 Celica yesterday and the car ran great all day (until I turned my A/C on). When I turned my A/C on, the car died and fried the ECM. What would cause this?

I was told by the garage (not someone I normally go to, so not sure how trustworthy) that my '96 toyota RAV4 (almost 150K mi) needs the left front wheel bearing replaced to pass inspection. they estimated $65 for the part, which is about what I found online. But, they told me it is a labor-intensive job to fix, and would take about 2.5 hours. They said that this particular kind of wheel bearing is "closed" so it's not something that can just be repacked w/ grease, and that it is a tight fit and requires some sort of hydraulic something-or-other to fit it on tightly and accurately - not an easy -to-fix wheel bearing like other vehicles. True? Not true? Please help quick! I need to tell them whether or not to do the work this morning, and I'm trying to get other estimates. Thank you!!
