'93 Ford Escort. Standard everything. 62-years old lady car. One day, this summer, the fan blower just stopped working. Fuse is fine, power to the switch, no power out. I jump the switch with a wire and viola, fan is on. "Ok", bad switch. I replace it. No difference. There are 4 wires...

I live in Finland. I drive a '91 Honda 1.3L. We have tight vehicle inspection. 1) I have a stumble at 2k rpm, don't know why. This will cause me to fail the test. 2) I smell raw fuel whenever the car is running. no obvious cause. this also will fail 3) How do I check my o2 sensor? I must...

I searched, and searched, and searched some more. No luck. How can I test my o2 sensor with a multimeter?

So generally, theoretically, in any make or model, what can make the electrical side of an ignition switch to smoke and catch on fire? Switch failure and external causes must both be addressed. Please offer insight...I got a kid in this car, I need to know for sure to prevent a major...

Allright, I'm going to bite the bullet and admit that although I USED to be a proffessional mechanic, I seem to have lost a lot of mechanical "instinct" since brain surgery. S. here's the prblem, hopefully there's a straight solution to it: 1984 Opel something, basically like a '84 Chevy...

A quote from The Amityville Horror 1979. In reference to steering failure on a priest's car. And brake failure. And acting failure.

I tried searching, no luck. I have painted my old XJ with rattle cans, years ago, and can't remember how much I used. Currently (sorry) I am preparing to paint my 2 door civic with a single stage, scuff and spray, with a gun. Any suggestions as to how much paint I will need? 1 gallon?

A general diesel behavior question... My 2 cylinder, 1 liter, 25 year old Volvo Penta Houseboat motor developed a hard starting problem this summer, during a week long somewhat colder spell. I used a little ether to get it going a few times, and I know, not really smart but it was needed. The...

Oddball, but I have a Volvo 2 cylinder diesel inboard motor in my houseboat, and I'd like to rig up a hot water shower. So far the plan is to use a electric pump to suck up lake water, pass it through a heat exchanger on the manifold, and onward to the fixture. Questions: Brass or copper heat...

Finland has lots of Cherokees on the road, all are DIESEL, none lifted. The only mod'd wheels you see are Escalades and old '50's American iron. I'd like to have my Jeeps shipped over here and throw a diesel into the Cherokee. I can't find a carrier that will bring anything to Finland, just...

Having just left my Wrangler and Cherokee in California to be sold and moving to Finland, and at the end of the year onward to Australia, I am curious as to how common the Cherokee is Down under. We all know that you can get a beat-up 4.0, perhaps not even running for 500 dollars in the US...

My boss says it's because I'm a p*ssy, but lately I've developed a problem (well, 2 problems). I fabricated a front bumper 2 weeks ago, & then I changed my mind about the size and made it bigger, then I added some extra steel to it & then added some runners for the sides, etc. I think I did a...

Has anyone heard of this issue before? On a '93, the fuel pump relay doesn't click, so the truck won't start. If you turn the key off & back on, the relay clicks very rapidly for a few seconds (maybe 20 or 30 so times) then it will start. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Scotty.

This isn't my truck, I'm trying to help a buddy out. I feel bad because I have the same set-up on a different Jeep & am unable to offer any solutions. 1989 MJ w/ a corporate 14-bolt & Detroit. He was flat towing it w/ the rear d-shaft out & all of a sudden both rear tires locked up tight. He...

Has anyone had any success in heading to Alaska to make some good $ in the commercial fishing trade? I've never done it before, & would appreciate any insight or suggestions. Maybe it's not worth going?

I leave for two weeks to find that alll has changed, where are the rep statements/green dots & where did the view option change to? No longer off of User CP?

I am currently in Thailand for a few weeks, & the last few times I was here there was a surprising amount of Jeeps/Jeep stuff around everywhere. As the self-apponted Far East Jeep Archivist (FEJA) it is & will be my goal to post odd & amusing photo's involving Jeeps. Today I saw an old CJ-8...

Does anyone know offhand what the torque spec should be for the flexplate to crankshaft on an '87 4.0?
