Cars & Transportation - 23 November 2007

Today, I let my uncle drive my Hyundai tiburon around the block, just so I could see how he drove it. Well, he drove it a lot differently than I did and i want to find out how.

First of all, the car was making this real high pitched sound all the way up to fourth and was going much faster in the lower gears than it goes for me.

Please explain in detail if you know how to do this.

P.S.
I tried it a little. Dropping the clutch revving the car then easing up and pressing the gas.
It worked for 1 and second gears but at fourth i felt ZERO pull.

Again, all help is greatly appreciated.

Please don't bother telling me to leave it in the garage.

Regular soap and water I can do - but there must be some good advice out there we can share.

If you are the insured person and die in a crash, do your beneficiaries get anything? I have a very good policy with AAA and I was just curious. My truck stalled out on a turn today and it just got me thinking. I can't call the agent because it's a holiday weekend and they are closed.

Any insurance agents out there?

It is a beautiful sunny day with a temperature of 27 degrees F and a high of 35 degrees F with slight winds from the NW at 15 miles per hour here in New Richmond, WI (about 15 mile to the east of ST Paul/MPLS). I am going for a motorcycle ride that will guarantee at least 125 miles. Would you like to join me? C'mon, it isnt that bad.

By the way I don't have anything electric to keep me warm, so let's go

My dealership is recomending a front axel fluid change / service at 12000 miles for my 06 Rubicon. This runs about $400.00. With so few miles I am sceptical of the need but don't want to void my warranty. Also it is not indicated in my service manual as needed at this mileage. I would like an opinion on this from someone who works in the industry.
Thanks.

In particular, why is a submarine a boat, not a ship. When you look at a vessel in the water, how can you tell whether it is a boat or a ship.

I've just purchased a 32' Haulmark Elite II enclosed race trailer. It has an 8000# winch that runs off of a battery. I'd like to add a solar battery charger and mount it to the top of the trailer so that the winch is always ready to go. Any suggestions as to what i should buy, and/or avoid buying? Thanks.

autozone code read it could be a thermostat issue. P1281.
So I don't know it does not seem to be moving from Cold on the reading at all. Firestone said they would put it on there computer for 105.00 it could also be something else causing it. It is blowing out some hot air. Are these diagnostic instruments the same? Was this cost effective to do based on autozone reading.

I have a 97 Subaru Impreza. My check engine light was on. I had it plugged in and it said P0301 and P0302 (Cylinders 1 and 2 misfire). I had them do a diagnostic at the shop, and they said I needed new plugs, wires, and possibly a coil. They suggested I do the plugs and wires myself and if it's still misfiring, bring it back in for the coil.

The thing is, I never noticed a misfire. The day after I had it diagnosed, the check engine light turned off. They didn't reset it. Would it reset itself?
