I was at home hardware the other day. and I picked up one of those little mini pinch clamps they sell at the check out. $0.69. Just tied a string around it and connected it so it hangs from one of the rod arms. So when i lift the hatch i just clamp it to the bottom part of the rod so it stops it fro...

After years of use the rear hatch rods are not holding the hatch in the up position... not that big of a deal.. only really when im trying to do groceries.. and have to hold it open with my shoulder :) Wondering if there was a quick fix to stiffen the rods up so they hold. They almost want to.. and ...

I think my left front wheel bearings might be going.. When i pull out of my garage in the morning i hear whiney rubbing noises. usually only when in first or reverse i hear it. Sounds like it comes from the left front wheel.. but not too sure. Today when i was driving home for lunch, it was fine. Pa...

A little off topic, but are there any performance fan blades i can purchase that would out perform the stock ones?

Ive only been able to get my 1.6l SOHC up to 165 kph and the car felt like it was going to fall appart.

I can usually hold it with my hand or move it slightly to a better position to stop the rattle momentarily.

Is there a good way to make the shifter lock into gear better or just stiffen it up?

sharpie: is your Check Engine light coming on?

Hey, I'm having the exact same problem as him, and my check engine light kept flashing alot. I mean, my car doesn't seem to fluctuate as much as it used to, just if I'm running my A/C or I mess with some controls. So, what is this CEL code thing? back behind your battery against the firewall is a l...

Maybe i have a SOHC engine and dont even know it...

the sensor next to the distributer was a one wire. and shaped a lot differently then the two pictures shown. the probe end was longer and thinner and had a rounded silver top.

ariesdude: thanks found the connector right beside the first injector. green connector. its back pretty far and hard to get at.. and i dont have any tools with me right now until I can goto my fathers shop tomorow.

by the time im finished fixing this car the rust will have eaten the entire thing.
