The continuing saga of a dear friend's 89 Escort LX 1.9L with Central Fuel Injection (it has a throttle body with a single injector)... I have ruled out spark as the problem. Spark is good. I caught the fuel injector in the act of not injecting fuel when it should, and all the while the coil is firing a healthy spark to all the plugs. I replaced...

I have a 1996 Chevrolet Lumina auto with (optional?) ABS. Lately the system activates soon after I start to drive when I am making a slow below 25 mph turn with the brakes applied. I then get the ABS warning light that comes on steady until I turn the car off and restart it with the whole thing happening again. Now I know ABS is a safer system than not having...

Hello: Have a 1993 Corolla. Hardly ever used. For a battery that has "really" run down, likely all the way, how much running of the car engine does it take to re-charge it ? Thanks, B.

I am going to change the oil in my walk behind little lawn mower.Is there some sort of dye I can add to the fresh oil that will make it easy to see when I check the oil level with the dip stick? Of course, I could do an old ''trick'' by drilling a little hole through the dip stick at the proper oil level mark. cuhulin

About a year ago (roughly) I posted a message here about gas petal freezeup (have to bang it hard with my foot to release it) and engine quitting during engine warmup while driving during cold weather and got good responses here saying it was due to throttle body icing. 1995 Olds. At that time I said I would get back here to say what action was taken to...
