Cars & Transportation - 10 November 2007

My neighbor and I have been trying to get his truck started. It's EFI Throttle Body. We've proven ignition and timing are good. The truck will start and run as long as you add fuel in the throat of the Throttle Body (TB). Thought the pump was bad, checked fuel pressure, GOOD. Fuel filter, Not Clogged.

We rebuilt the TB with all new gaskets and cleaned all passages. Removed the fuel injectors and opened them electronically and blasted carb cleaner through them.

Checked ALL fuses and the relay - All OK. Apparently the injectors are not being commanded to open. I figure it might be a bad sensor or (worst case) bad computer (ECU)

IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE OR SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE, please lend me your assistance. It will be most appreciated.

Thanks.

how much money difference is it then a Ford Mustang? How much would it's monthly insurance cost? Is it fuel effiecient? does it use too much gas too fast? Basically what I'm asking is how much money will a chevy camaro's expenses add up to each month? And last will a job at college be enough to afford one?

Is it fairly common to have to replace a EGR valve on a 99 Pontiac GrandPrix 3.8?? Had it cleaned once and mechanic said next time it would need replacing. Back in the old V8 days a EGR valve was seldom a problem. Plus its like $150 at Advance and almost double that at GM dealer!!!!

I went to pick up my car from my sister in laws and went to start it and I heard nothing but clicking. The lights went out when i tried starting it. I turned on the headlights and they were really dim. Is this a bad battery or what? Need help. By the way, its a 2003 cavalier.

tore evrything apart, and the coolant seems to flow into the heater core from both heater hoses. This seems strange to me, shouldn't one be flowing into the core and one out? I can hook a garden hose to the heater core and water flows ok. Could I have the wrong water pump?

Found a 93' 600sl for sale for pretty cheap, only $10k, looks/runs/drives great with 65k but it has a story. Was in an accident a few years ago, seller owns a body shop and bought it, fixed it all himself, said the damage wasn't that bad, and of course it had a salvage title as a result. Has a few issues. Strut warning light is on, says it needs fluid. Rollbar needs a sensor as it keeps popping up. ASR warning light stayed on the first time we started it. Seller turned the car on and off a few times and it made it go away, said it's never done that before. Soo....on the surface it seems like a nice car and a hell of a buy for the price, but...? I'd obviously have a PPI done, but any opinons or advice? anywhere on the net I can find a good buyers guide for a 600sl?

hi:

I would like to lift a 2004 Ford Taurus at the jack notch and put the car on a stand for oil change. Where is the spot I can put the Jack spot safely? The Jack notch is not wide enough to accommodate both the jack and the stand at the same time. Also, let me know of a pictorial manual that supports your answer. Thank you.

Best regards,
Mansour

I am going to Canada over on Dec. and I was told that my car would not work. So I was wondering what makes the cars in Canada different. Or what makes a car work here and not there. I know that the weather is one. I live in the South.

Unless I'm reading the specs wrong, single engines like the Cessna and Beech that are 6 passenger will only hold about 450 lbs or so worth of passengers (assuming you have a full tank).
