After changing the sensor and reseting the computer the o2 light will not go out. I'm ready to tape over the light and forget about it. Any suggestions to cure this would be great. Thanks

I bought a Corvette this summer that I plan to store for the winter months. Is it advisable to do the oil change before storing it or before using it in spring?

Using my heater when it is not rainy does not cause the windows to fog. My trunk starts to smell musty or moldy during the rainy northwest winter, and the rear window can be foggy in the morning before I start the car, but I cannot find wet places in the trunk. I'm wondering if moisture is getting in around my tail lights, but I don't know where it would collect. The surface underneath the trunk floor and where the spare tire is tends to be dry.

I'm replacing the stock manifolds on my car 3.5l and need to relocate the catalytic converter. I cannot fit two, stock setup, in the down pipes with the new manifolds so I'd rather use a single larger converter underneath and am converting the exhaust to a dual setup. In order to do so I'd like to use a converter with dual outputs. Otherwise I'd need to take the two downpipes convert them to one input for a single converter then take the single output and convert it to two for the dual exhaust.

The only models that come with dual outputs are for larger engines 5.7L+ and up, would using one be alright for the flow? I know using a smaller rated catalytic converter on a larger engine will restrict the flow but just want to make sure going higher won't cause problems with the flow since the engine isn't putting out the same power as the converter is rated for.

I don't know if the higher rated converters are more 'restrictive' since they are designed/rated for more powerful engines

I wrecked my Firebird and have almost completely restored it to original except for the steering column (deployed airbag). I found a steering column with the airbag intact and the ignition key from the exact same year and model. Now that they are switched (everything matched up), all the lights and everything electrical works, but it won't turn over. Could it be that the keys have the little chip and the one from the new column is confusing my car?

I have a brand new Lexus IS, with leather interior. My good friend brought her friend from out of town along and I let the two both smoke cigarettes in the backseat. I am a smoker as well. In the morning, there was a cigarette burn in the leather, on the seat. My friend says she didn't do it and she's sure, which means the burn belongs to her friend. Do I make my friend pay for something her out of town friend did? Or is it my car therefore my responsibility to fix it? What should I do?

Suggestions please!! Thank you.

Roughly 46,000 miles. New Battery 10-06. Something odd is going on. No real problems starting when it's cold. After driving a while and getting back in to start...you can tell it doesn't crank as well as it did. At one point today...after multiple stops, I came home, turned off the car and immediately tried to turn it back on. It would not fire, it got the the point it would not crank. 5 minutes later...absolutely no problem. It fired multiple times... What do you think the problem is. My guess is it's just time for a tune up and new spark plugs.....what's your thoughts?

If you know, can you state your:

Car Make:
Car Model:
Cambelt Change Frequency: (either mileage distance or age frequency)

A dealer is saying I need mine changed every 4 years regardless of mileage cause the rubber deteriorates with age, and it's expensive to get done.

Not sure if he's trying it on to earn some easy money, cause after all they have an incentive to say stuff like that.

Thanks.

Are the number of splines in a 2 wheel drive 5 lug rear end the same as the 6 lug 4 wheel drive rear end ? Can the axles be swapped from one to the other without any problems if the year and gear ratio are the same?

Ok, I have scoured the net and the local autopart store and no one carries the wiper arm for a 1991 Oldsmobile 88. Does any know of a replacement part for this? Or perhapes where I can go to find out what the replacement part would be?

I've been to Everyone, GM, Shuck, NAPA, AUto Zone, you name it...I've hit it. Help? I'm just a girl, lol.

i mean come on, i go on here, see an easy question, then there are so many shitty answers that the ONE correct one is simply overlooked. i wish there was a rule like "must be officially certified to answer questions in certain fields."

like if i have a question about a new ford 6.4 twin turbo diesel, i do not even want anyone to try, unless they are certified by ford to know exactly what i need to know. does that sound reasonable?

not only that, an easy questiong gets 20 answers in the first hour, yet when i asked about a price on a part, 6 days, no answers, because yahoo answers auto section is full of morons searching for 2 points.

I have a 2005 Dodge Stratus 2.7 SXT 4 door. Over the past 2 months I have had an issue with the carpet under the passenger seat wet. It was sopping wet. I cleaned it up with a wet dry vac and got it all dry and two days later it was soaked again. I put a Absorber under the seat for 2 days and got it up. But it is still damp. Wet to touch the carpet and the metal under it. It is not soaked just damp now. I have the seat out of the car trying to see I something was draining but I have no idea what could be doing this. Any ideas what it is and how to fix it? I have a moldy smelling car and need to get it completely dry. Thanks in advance...

I bought a 1989 Nissan Maxima. I drove the car with no problems for 6 months. The timing belt went out on the car on the highway. I had the car towed and the timing belt replaced. The mechanic informed me that the valves were bent. I wanted to know if I should have the whole engine replaced, or if it's worth rebuilding the engine that is there. The car still runs, but it runs hard and it's very loud. I couldn't take the mechanics word, because he just kept wanting me to sell him the car for a few hundred dollars. I don't know if he's telling me to sell the car because it's really worthless. Or if he just wants my car!
