Car Makes - September 2006

Ok I have been looking for performance upgrades for my 1999 Camry but since I have a four cylinder its been pretty hard. The only thing I have found is a universal supercharger but I cannot find a intake manifold or any headers or an exhaust system specific for my vehicle. So I was thinking of getting a whole new engine put in but I do not know if it will fit or will just not match my camry so I need advice on a engine I can swap in my car.

The timing is good I am at a loss for what is the problem. at an idle the car runs good, it is when I reach about 2500rpm's I start getting the backfire and loss of power. Firing order should be 1-2-3-4-5-6 correct?

I don't have my instruction manual and I know there is a simple way to reset the maintence required light. I have recently had an oil change and they didn't reset it. I know that after every few thousand miles it needs to be reset and doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with the car.

It is a 2003 Accord EX-VL

Also... does anyone know if you can make a backup of your navigation disk? Will it work?

i think maybe relay or security system

symptom Turn Key to start engine and all Lights go off
Turn key to Acc, and doors Lock, there is a pbk/? light which is on.

tried starting in park, neutral, and with new key.

there is a small led near shifter. it blinks when key is turned on, but we have never had or used any security fob so always thought it to be a fake. now question if it might be real and cutting out ignition voltage.

last, can hear a relay near pass/kick panel, but relay under hood does not activate.

we will check volts tomorrow, but thought someone could cut diag short.

thanks

My nephew is talking about buying a 1989 Chevy Corsica. He claims that it is a 2 door car, but I have never heard of such a thing. I said that I thought 2 door Corsicas were called Berretta (maybe spelled wrong). He tells me I am wrong, so I am asking here.

So tell me which one of us is right, 10 points to the person that can provide a picture of a 2 door corsica.

Thanks!

Am I the only one that thinks it's nice? My partner thinks its ugly, most people I speak to think its ugly, on here most said it's ugly!
It sounds weird to think that so many opinions can sway ones thoughts of it.
I have one on order, so ive not seen it properly yet, and now Im not sure about it, can everybody see uglyness in it, that I cant? I usually always go with my choice, but you cant help but think, maybe these people have a point, and its ugly :o)

Are the 1990s Mazda 626's good vehicles? I think that the 1993-01 Mazda 626's were way ahead of their time and they recieve good gas mileage for a compact/midsized sedan.

I have a 66 Mustang with a 302 and I believe that I have a cracked head. Someone told me it might be a cracked block but I don't think it shows the signs of one. There is oil in the coolant, but no coolant in the oil. There is no white smoke coming out of the exhaust. There is no foaming or bubbling coming from the block. Is it still possible for it to be a cracked block because I am kind of paranoid that it might be. I am planning on replacing the heads within the next week and I wont drive it until I do.

I see all the additives to flush the engine out. The "5 minute engine flush" treatment, and Duralube has one as well as Slick 50. Have also heard that dumping some brake fluid or somethin into the crankcase for 5 minutes before an oil change will loosen all the carbon deposits. Any other suggestions?

it's an '86 el camino w/ a 350 from a GMC 1 ton van in it. it's pretty fast, and will really burn the tires. but lately, if you suddenly floor it, it will hesitate real bad, and then kick in. and, if you do a burnout and let off the gas right away it will die...i was thinking fuel filter? it has a Holley 4 barrell carb. any other ideas on what it might be?

I am having trouble with my 01 Cavalier.. The car will not start at times unless you press the gas pedal.. Now being a fuel injected car I should not have to do this. I have also had this on a computer to see if there are any codes in the computer and there are none.. All of the sensors check out ok. I have changed the fuel and air filter, the plugs and wires and I would hate to have to start to shot gun this thing by replaceing unneeded sensors.. And this car only has about 31000 miles on it... Ay ideas???

First of all: I love this car! I bought it a week ago, after a twenty-year love affair with the W123 body style. It's from the south, so no rot, runs and rides great, and is FUN! All electrical works, great looking, all my boys drool.
Biggest problem: the day after I bought it, it wouldn't shut off after it was turned off. Pressing STOP is ok when it's August, but it's getting cold, and will get old fast. Where to start?
Next biggest: trans leak. It leaked almost a quart on a day trip yesterday, all expwy@70/75, 21mpg. I decided today to try staying @60 or under - not one drop! And 30.7mpg! I dropped the trans pan, replaced filter, and topped off with AMSOil ATP. It doesn't look wet anywhere but pan gasket and lower, can't see where it could be leaking from when heavy accel.
Next: odo froze@164k. Speedo works fine.
Next: even in the blue range, heat is HOT!
Next: driver door key goes in lock, but lock will not turn.; pass lock turns, but won't lock.
Last: doggy - no turbo?
