Car Makes - 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!!!!

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

Hey everyone! I'm looking at two 2002 330xi Bimmers, both are pretty much the same, but one has 20,000 more miles on it than the other, but it's $3,000 less. With a BMW, is it worth the extra $3k to get those lesser miles, or is BMW's quality really so sound that I don't need to worry?

I cleaned the engine of my '99 Altima,causing the spark plug recesses to fill with water, this made the engine misfire untill I dryed the plugs, and it runs great now. However I have a service engine soon light and can't seem to reset it,does anyone know how I can reset it without having to pay a mechanic? I have turned the switch on and off 10 times, rapidly which worked on other cars but not on this one.
Any help would be appriciated. Thanks, YAHOO users.

I have a 2006 BMW 325i that has a serious tire issue. The front tires are worn out in an uneven pattern after only 12,000 miles. I am searching for more people with this problem as I have found out that this particular car has this problem with tires and BMW is only willing to give half off for new tires. This is not fair due to the time and stress this problem is causing due to noise & safety. I am also not sure if once you replace the tires that the problem will not reoccur. These tires are the Bridgestone Turanza . Please let me know if anyone has similar issues with BMW tires.
