Explorer engine galloping and loping-1995?

what needs to be replaced?


What fuse is for the horn on a 99 golf wolfsburg???

check the fusebox, on MkIV golf, its located on the driver's side between the door and the side of the dashboard, open the fuse box and you should see a cardboard paper with a map of the fusebox that tells you which is which...also check the car manual

Vw driver door not locking or unlocking but can lock the system from inside?

I think you mean you can't press down the lock button when the door is open? Can you lock/unlock the door from the outside with a key but can press down the lock button from inside once door is closed? If so, that is the way the VW driver doors and locks are designed.
Vw driver door not locking or unlocking but can lock the system from inside?
It sounds as if the connecting rod between the door lock and the door latch assembly is broken.You have a seperate rod inside from the push button to the lock mechanisim,and if this is working but you cant lock or unlock from outside theres nothing else it could be.
Vw driver door not locking or unlocking but can lock the system from inside?
I have a 95' Jetta I had the same issue I could lock and unlock from the inside and not from the outside with my keys. If you have a 93-98 VW then most likely like the person above me said it is the connecting rod from the cylinder to the latch. I had to replace both of mine on the drivers side and passenger. The old ones are made of a soft metal that literally breaks. The make the newer kits at Volkswagen that you have to order from the dealership and have installed. I went to a local VW shop i know they charged me about $125 to replace both sides and that included the labor very good price and working fine now.


Will a 92 acura integra ls under-dash wiring harness in a 90 crx si with a OBD1 b16?

ive got a 90 crx si with a b16. the problem is the original under-dash harnes is butchered bad. i have no fire or fuel, but i have a 92 integra ls shell with the harness still intact. will that work in place of my stock harness.
Will a 92 acura integra ls under-dash wiring harness in a 90 crx si with a OBD1 b16?
You cannot use a stock harness with a b16 upgrade engine. The stock harness only applies to the original engine 1.6 liter. You must order the b16 harness and replace the whole thing.
Will a 92 acura integra ls under-dash wiring harness in a 90 crx si with a OBD1 b16?
yea then you will need a obd1 ecu and then rewire the vtec or you can just get a civic ex or si or vx 92-95 civic. but to run it will run lots of slicing and dicing
Reply:Whats up man, first i just wanna say I just got done putting a b16 a1 dohc first gen vtec engine into my 90 ls integra, and the wiring harness was pretty much all the same, b series is almost always b series.. sure some of the engine plugs are in a differant spot then the b18 but everything should work, Im pretty sure you engine is obd0, the way you can tell is if you look at your ecu and the plugs going into the ecu are that faded kinda clear yellow color and black then it's obd0 and if there grey then it's obd1, ok so once you get the vtec in, you dont need to get the obd1 ecu unless your wires are grey, or unless you want to convert your car to obd1 you can use a pr3 obd0 vtec ecu you can find them on ebay for 50 to however much your willing to spend, does your b16 have a distributor? you will need a b16 distrib,





Also can you look on you crx and by the map censor there should be a little black thing with hoses that go to your fuel manifold, then under your hood it should have a sticker that say's what it is, is it the regulator control solenoid valve or the purge cut solenoid valve, you can hit me up at born2bask8ter@yahoo.com


What is the mpg for a 1970 vw bug?

I am restoring one and i got 17 mpg but i think that the carborator needs adjustment what should be the mpg
What is the mpg for a 1970 vw bug?
It depends what engine it has. (In 38 years, a lot of stuff can be done to a car) But expect mid-20s to low-30s.
What is the mpg for a 1970 vw bug?
17 mpg is a little low for a stock 1600, expect 20-22 up to 25 if it is perfect, i dont know where the other guy got his numbers, but you will Never see 30 MPG from a carburetted vw


try and lean out the carb a little, but don't over do it, timing can also play a huge role in your mpg's


try timing by vacuum.
Reply:17 is low unless your engine is not stock. if its a 1500 cc stock mpg should be 23-24. stock 1600 single port is 21-24. stock 1600 cc dual port should be 24-27. it only takes a small change, such as aftermarket exhaust, to lower the mpg this much. check your timing also, may cause 2 mpg difference.


Gas Is 4 Bucks A Gallon ... You Need A New Car ... What Car Would YOU Buy?

Hey ... I need some advice!





My lease (2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee) is up next month (Sayonara, oh ye Royal Gas Hog) ... and I don't know what to look at!





I want something that is reasonable to buy/lease and own ... and looks great. I don't need a ton of bells and whistles. I really just want a good, solid car that can get me around comfortably.





With gas prices sky-high, obviously good mileage is a top consideration, but since I have nothing to trade in, I need something affordable to buy.





In my situation, what car make/model would YOU be leaning toward? And please tell me WHY you would pick that car!





Thanks, everyone ... I need all the help I can get!
Gas Is 4 Bucks A Gallon ... You Need A New Car ... What Car Would YOU Buy?
If you're concerned about fuel economy you may consider getting a hybrid car - not quite sure what models are available in the US (I live in Australia) but the two options here are the Toyota Prius and the Honda Civic Hybrid. I'd lean towards the Honda Civic Hybrid since (a) it's cheaper, at least over here and (b) it looks nicer.





If you're not interested in getting a hybrid, consider getting a compact/small-medium car such as the Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus (again these might have different names in the US).





Then again, there isn't as much a stigma over here in Oz when buying a Japanese car, not sure what the case is in the U.S. though :).
Gas Is 4 Bucks A Gallon ... You Need A New Car ... What Car Would YOU Buy?
if you got the big bucks to spend in the beginning the Hybrid Civic gets 50+ mpg...
Reply:If you really want to save gas Prius is your choice. Obviously its what it is a hybrid. You want something that has a little bit more power but saves gas also look into a Nissan Sentra. They have pretty good gas millage. I always have liked nissan and my dad also owns a sentra a 04 to be exact. It gets him by and he saves way more gas than i do with a v6 maxima. Also you can look into Honda Civic. Its quick and yet they also save gas. If your planing on a b routes and here and there drive get anything that's a v4. If you need to haul some things lean towards a bigger engine than a 1.8. My choice honestly would be the Nissan. Look into the websites so you also can read the specs that might be more for you. Good Luck with a new/used/leased car!
Reply:Mazda 3 ......


Deal going on now 117 per month


but pay your TT%26amp;Lic to get that price or better.





Dodge has the 2.99 locked in fuel price. But you need the Lifetime Warranty to go with it if you get one.





Test drive a few cars before you decide... Check the local Sunday papers VS the Bigger Citys Dealers for what specials they have. Save some cash for sure.





Those are the best deals...





Also if you don't travel in a BIG City evey day A Hybrid car will not get you the mileage your looking for.
Reply:I would suggest staying away from the hybrids for now. Will the gas you save make up for the expensive batteries you will have to replace down the road? Hybrid technology is new and expensive and isn't entirely justified in the expenses department. I would say your best bet would be in the Honda Civic category. The Toyota Corolla is also a good gas saver and extremely reliable. If your just looking to lease then you could go with the VW Jetta if you like their style, but they aren't as reliable. Mazda 3, Ford Focus or Mini Cooper to name a few more.
Reply:Mazda 3, Honda Civic, Hyundai Tiburon





Mazda 3-Best handling small sedan. Great on gas and quick. Very reliable. Most standard features.





Honda Civic-Most reliable small car in the world. Also looks great and fun to drive. It has a high revving engine.





Hyundai Tiburon-It looks great and handles great. It is cheap, but looks like a $30,000 car.
Reply:Ford Escape Hybrid. Smaller than the Suv you have allready, but close.
Reply:The toyota is a very economical car. It will get almost 50 miles per gallon on the highway and not too bad in the city. I am driving a Ford, Freestar van and it is not too bad on gas, either. But, make sure you keep the air filters cleaned and the air at the same level in the tires. It plays a major role in your gas mileage. Stick to a 4 or 6 cylinder and you will be okay. It depends on the way you drive, also, Look for a car/truck with cruise control, it also saves gas.
Reply:I really haven't checked out the new stuff lately, but i would probably go look at some hybrids. They are getting better.

What is MYxx in Honda Vehicle Model?

With Honda vehicles, sometimes I seen they are being listed with a number ie. MY05 or MY06. Can anyone please explain what it stands for and the meaning please?
What is MYxx in Honda Vehicle Model?
yo thats a new one for me too brah, but i belive it stands for





MODEL YEAR XX





like OBD 1 or OBD 2





its just the model years 05 and 06
What is MYxx in Honda Vehicle Model?
Just to add my 2 bobs worth,


Model Year is exatly that - the year that model was intended for.


Sometimes, the actual build date is different from model year (some manufactures will start building MY09 vehicles towards the end of 2008 (to allow for shipping/importing delays).


Could a Cummins 5.9 engine fit in an M-body Chrysler?

I have a 1988 Plymouth Gran Fury with the 318 police pkg. engine, %26amp; I would love to have a Diesel in it. The only good engine I've heard of that might is the 5.9 I6 Cummins, as it was/is used in many Dodge pickups. Are the engine mounts the same or would they have to be fabricared??
Could a Cummins 5.9 engine fit in an M-body Chrysler?
your talking about a hell of alota work and fabrication to do any thing like that and plus you probably dont want it a diesel if you look at it with a wider view
Could a Cummins 5.9 engine fit in an M-body Chrysler?
The Cummins is a great engine, but it weighs more than twice what a small block Mopar does. I don't think it would fit, but even if it is possible, the cost and weight would make this an unpleasant combination. You'd still need to fabricate the engine mounts, have some serious electronics expertise to get the ECU to work, and spend a fortune, but the Mercedes diesel out of an early Sprinter van would probably make for a better driving and more efficient swap. The 4 cyllinder out of a Jeep Liberty diesel would also be a better fit, if you can find one. Good luck. Whatever way you go, a diesel Gran Fury would be an interesting creation. It will be a hell of a project though, by the time you get the electronics and fuel system sorted out.


I have a supra i had my friend to the work on my last car?

i want to make my supra faster more horsepower ect. what do i need to get i want something like a twin turbo i have a body kit rims and all that stuff
I have a supra i had my friend to the work on my last car?
i take it you have the mk4 version.





na engine modding will differ in parrts from the twin turbo version.





basic mods will be an


induction kit


decat/catback exhaust


iridium plugs


clean injectors


decent oil change


change fuel filter to a new one


lighten flywheel


lighten car weight


other mods including turbo mods are


piggy back ecu


remap ecu


superchip


fmic


boost controller


up boost


upgrade fuel pump


new turbo's


single turbo conversion


If your adding a turbo to an na check mods needed on a supra forum,IE rewiring,turbo downpipe,turbo exhaust,intercooler etc etc.





Best advice would be the join some supra forums this will give you the best advice on which are the best parts for your engine and part numbers also the best places to get them from.This will save money and time for you.Also traders use the forums and often offer you discounts.

Chevy 350 back-firing?

This is a Mercruiser 350 Magnum (Chevy smallblock). 1996 with a Carter carb, about 350 hours use. I had the carb professionally rebuilt because it was very difficult to start cold, and after running with a load it would diesel after being shut off. After the carb installation, this thing ran like a champ. After the first 30 minutes I would get the occasional (10-20 seconds apart) backfire through the carb. This seems to only occur after running under load for at least a few minutes. It runs great and strong between backfires. I have not checked the timing yet, but I have never, ever had it backfire before. I have adjusted the idle jets so that I don't get any dieseling. Could a different carb setting reveal a bad timing setting? Is the float level wrong? What about adjustments on Carter carbs? I have not fooled with wiring, plugwires, distributor etc. so that can be ruled out. You guys who eat, breathe and live chevy...help!
Chevy 350 back-firing?
the needle might be sticking
Chevy 350 back-firing?
did the carter come with the motor and just develope the problem? have you tuned the carb? if not tune it, especially after a rebuild. check your timing. if niether of those help try swapping carbs to a different brand. it seems like you may be on the right track by looking at the carb.
Reply:I own a shop, and think this; The dieseling is caused by the idle speed being too high, and in some cases; the carb may have a solenoid that allows the carb to completely shut off when powerd down. The mixture screws should be adjusted with the use of a vacuum gage attached to the intake vacuum. Adjust them for the most vacuum while keeping the idle down to around 850 rpm's. Turn the mixture screws all the way in till they bottom out, but don't bottom them out hard, or it will damage them. Back them out 2 and 1/2 turns, attach the vacuum gage, and with the engine at normal temp, turn the screws one at at time (in) till the vacuum starts to fall, and back it out till it clears up. Keep going until the vacuum begins to fall again, and then go in with the screw till it reads the best vacuum reading you can get. You are trying to get the best vacuum reading on both screws at idle speed. The 2 and 1/2 turns is your starting place to begin with.


As for the backfire; It may have the vacuum line going to the distributor hooked to the wrong outlet on the carburetor. It must be hooked to ported vacuum. Meaning: No vacuum is on the line until the throttle is mashed. If it has vacuum on it all the time; it will backfire once in a while as its throwing the ignition timing off at cruise speed. A bad vacuum advance chamber on the distributor can cause this symptom too, so check to make sure its moving the advance plate, and it holds vacuum without leaking down. Remove the spark plugs, and if they are black with build-up from too much fuel, you will need to remove the upper portion of the carburetor, and adjust the float down about 1/8 of an inch. Keep in mind; your old carburetor may have fouled the plugs. A backfire can take place if you have a bad plug, and when it gets under a load, the backfire shows up. Clean the plugs good, and set the gap. If it keeps doing it; then replace the plugs with new ones. If this doesn't take it away, then start looking for some problem with the cam being worn down, or a lifter may have a tiny hole in it causing this problem. A good vacuum gage can tell you a lot about the health of the engine, and is a fine tunning tool to own. Also; if the ignition timing is out of adjustment; it can cause this problem.


Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!

Do mercedes last a long time?

i found an 89 mercedes benz 300E, i believe it was.... it was 2,000$ and i dont know too much about cars, do you think that would be a good deal? ive heard cars like that can last forever.
Do mercedes last a long time?
Trust me, U DONT WANT THAT CAR!!!





couple reasons why:


1. real simple, its a very old car with who knows how many miles, it doesnt say so obviously it has quite a few miles on it, real potential for problems down the road





2. its a german car, regardless of how good/ maintained it was it will have problems and german cars like mercs and bmw and very expensive to repair, especially the older ones.





3. since it is old with probably lot of miles it will consume more gas than usual, upkeep will be expensive.





those are the real important reasons, thing is with an older car u never know what problems it can have, but with mercedes they're just too damn expensive to get repaired, if u do plan on getting it make sure u have a trustworth mechanic inspect it first.





good luck :)
Do mercedes last a long time?
if its dependability you want, get a Honda, or a Toyota. despite Mercedes being German engineering at its best, it will be costly to repair. I've worked on enough of these to say with confidence that I'm glad Ford hasn't pulled anything like Benz did. the money that you would put in just to keep it running will be at least double of what you paid to buy it in the first place. but if you choose to do so, try your best to NOT bring it in a dealership. find someone that specializes in German vehicles ( since alot of repairs are done the same way with most European vehicles). best of luck.
Reply:While it certainly looks to be in great shape for a nearly 20 year old car, keep in mind that it is a nearly 20 year old car. The ad also does not list the mileage on the vehicle.





Mercedes cars of that vintage were very well built and do last a long time. The W124 chassis ( internal code for the 86-95 E-Class vehicles ) are quite solid, reliable when maintained properly and were advanced vehicles for their time...how many other vehicles had an airbag in the mid to late '80's for example? ).





Having said that, maintenance is key in keeping any 20 year old vehicle running properly. If you do wish to buy that car, take it to a mechanic or shop familiar with Mercedes to look over it thoroughly to make sure it has been maintained properly. If it hasn't, you will likely be spending a lot of money in the near future.
Reply:The 300E was a long life car, but when they get older there are a lot of expensive items that can possibly go out if the car was not taken care of. Motor Parts and transmission parts are a killer. Basic items such as brakes, filters and other components are not so bad. Air conditioning repair on those are costly. Compressors are very expensive and blower motor replacement can be quite high. Just be prepared if something should go out on it.
Reply:Yes - Mercedes do last a long time, despite what people say.


The 89 300E is one of the best in the lineage of this brand. The condition of this car looks good and I am sure she will serve you well in the years to come. The price also looks good and I am sure she is worth every cent of it. Further, contrary to what people say, the routine maintenance and spares are also very reasonable. They require very little care as compared to the service they give. This particular car you have chosen is owned by a dear friend of mine. The car is driven excessively hard and under severe conditions. Never once has the owner been let down. I have consistently owned this brand since the last 40 years and one of my prized possessions is my 86 300SE, which is still in pristine condition and does not want any undue money to maintain


and run.





I wish you all the best, and can personally assure you that you have made a wise choice.
Reply:It looks like good condition, but trust me, you dont want this.





It has too many miles..I wouldnt buy a honda this old...





Also, mercedes are reliable up till about 150k miles....and thats the old ones....everything in the DiamlerChrysler era was poorly made....things have gotten better after 2005...





bottom line...bad idea...look for a used honda or toyota
Reply:of corse
Reply:Buying a 1983 Mercedes diesel was the best thing that happened to our family.She's dependable burns wvo or any oils(I installed conversion).Diesels up to 1985 will last over 1 million miles,gassers 400,000 with timing chains replaced every 200,000 miles.


New GM RWD Cars?

Why is it that I can't buy a RWD 4 door sedan from GM. Are they stupid, Dodge has rwd sedans, and so does ford. I used to be a die hard chevy fan but switched to dodge simply because their sedans are rear wheel drive. I will never drive a front wheel drive crapbox. Same with their chevy colorado, I had a nice 4.3 s10 a while back, but refuse to get the colorado because it doesn't have the 4.3 v6, but a lame 5 cyl. Whats wrong with GM?? Anyone know?? No wonder they are not number 1 anymore!!
New GM RWD Cars?
most people want front wheel drive vehicals and if you do your research before you go popping off you will relized that the chevy five cyl. is a very reliable motor and very fuel effective so that will solve that and the 4.3 had bad cam problems and always got bad knocks...... the only reason you need a rear wheel drive car is so you can do stupid **** to make your self feel good so drive like a normal person and dont be dumb
New GM RWD Cars?
The fact that Dodge has rear wheel drive is the reason I would not buy one. It is that much more that can go wrong and takes a log of passenger comfort space with the hump. Front wheel drive was one of the smartest things makers ever did. The real problem with them is most pople do not know how to drive them correctly. When properly trainedm they will out perform any rear drive ever built. Took a pweson with knowledge to get me started and have spent several years learning. Have better control and handling that ever did with rear drive. Add the stability control and cannot be beat for emergency handling and driving in inclimate weather.
Reply:GM is still the number one car and truck maker on the planet.From what you have said you like another car maker over GM.There is nothing we can do for your here in the chevrolet section.Best of luck.
Reply:for the colorado: when compared to the ford ranger the colorado has more torque and power than the ford rangers v6, while also using less gas(even though its ugly)....gm is just now starting to put out great rwd cars like the new cts, and the pontiac g8(although it is a 5 year old car). dodge has no style, the charger is fugly with horrible handling, and the 300c looks like a mafia limo tank with horrible interiors and tranny's(the charger,300c, and new challenger use the same interior), at least gm has style. look at the new buick enclave, new cts, new malibu, new cadillac ext, new saturn sky's/solstice, new avalanche, new corvette z06, new yukon denali, new camaro....
Reply:I couldn't agree more, I will never drive a front wheel drive car, ever again. Drove one for a year and absolutly hated it, they have no torque and drive like crap. Dodge is turning around, they actually make cars that people want unlike GM putting out these cheap front wheel drive cars. FWD=CHEAP!! I also drive a old 93 s10 with a 4.3 and it has great torque and handling and sounds great with flowmasters, while the colorado sounds like a fart can.


97 Ford Escort AC Inop?

I have a 97 escort wagon. The ac sometimes works and sometimes doesnt. I checked the pressure at the low side port and it was over 100 with the gauge that came with the R134a kit I got from AAP. I have read that if its over 100 that you cant add anymore refrigerant. What else should I be looking for ? When I turn the ac unit on in the car, the radiator fan automatically turns on but I dont hear the ac compressor engaging.
97 Ford Escort AC Inop?
Find clutch connector near compressor,and disconnect. Run a jumper wire from clutch to battery positive terminal,start engine. If compressor will not run,clutch on compressor is bad. If it runs,stop engine and re-connect factory wires. Find low pressure switch near low side port,resembles an oil pressure switch.


Disconnect wires to low pressure switch and jumper across wiring terminals for switch. This should make compressor run if AC is on inside car and engine is running. check pressures with compressor running. Suspect low refrigerant or bad electrical connection,or bad low pressure switch.
97 Ford Escort AC Inop?
find the low pressure switch on the receiver drier and disconnect. ck for power at the switch with the a/c on and the engine running. if there is power there jump across the connector and check for power at the compressor. if there is no power you have an open circuit in the poss wire to the compressor. if there is power and the compressor still is not on, ck and make sure the ground is good buy ohms testing it with a dovm. if it is good then the compressor clutch has failed. you can replace the compressor clutch without replacing the compressor. if everything works fine when jumpering across the low pressure switch get a low pressure swtich and replace it. there is one other thing that could cause this problem. the a/c or wide open throttle cutout relay may be failing to open back up after a hard acceleration.


What is your experience with your 07-08 hyundai santa fe suv?

the first generation of the santa fe name was the first launch at growingly popular small suv segment for newbie hyundai. the new ones are pretty impressive and enticing at the same time. for those of you who are driving one of the 07-08 gen santa fes, what is your overall experience with it? pleasant? horrible? plz be as detailed as you can be, the more the better. how is its reliability so far? ive only seen "average" from Consumer Reports but have you detected any major problems with yours so far into your ownership? are there any minor gripes you have about it? where was yours built (in Korea or in the USA?)? if yours happens to be an all-wheel-drive, has it worked as advertised for you in the winter? lastly, what sort of all-wheel-drive system is it that the santa fe utilizes (full-time fully automatic, manual lock-up torque converter?)? does it come with a lockable limited-slip differential [system] (electronic, speed-sensitive viscous, or torque-sensitive clutch pack coupling?)?
What is your experience with your 07-08 hyundai santa fe suv?
well first of all ihope you know hyundai cars are very good cars.the santa fe has been awarded for its safety and great customer satisfaction, i havent really xperienced much of the car but so far ,friends i know said the car is great has good handling ,its silent(which makes me wonder why som people say it makes noise) i think no matter what it wouldnt disappoint you.

Question e85 ethonal would it work in a Honda Accord 2003 or bad idea?

I know that regular unleaded gas is the only gas that is to be used in a Honda so my question truly is would it mess the engine up or harm it?
Question e85 ethonal would it work in a Honda Accord 2003 or bad idea?
If your honda is NOT labeled FLEX FUEL - you cannot use E85.





There's 2 facts you should know about E85





(1) E85 is 85% alcohol. Alcohol is corrosive to your regular gas tank and gas line





(2) Alcohol has only 2/3 the energy content. What that means is you only get 2/3 the mileage as compare to gasoline. So if your car used to get 30 MPG on gasoline, you would only get about 20 MPG on E85. Not any cheaper.








Good Luck...
Question e85 ethonal would it work in a Honda Accord 2003 or bad idea?
Yes, it would mess up the engine quite badly. E85 is quite corrosive, and would destroy many vital engine components in a car not built for it.

2000grand jeep cherokee transmission?
I had somthing similar happen to my wifes not long ago, Does it feel sluggish off the start and just plain boggy? Anyways, there are a couple of sensors in the tranny, a speed gov. soliniod and I cant remember the second, but I replaced those and everything worked fine again. Its a simple drop pan repair, remove the filter and the sensors are in plain site and very accessable, took a mechanic friend of mine (who is a GMC tech, Not Jeep) an hour to do it and that was slow becuase he was being very cautious to not wreck anything. Cost me About 350 for parts including new transmission service kit (seal, filter, oil) and the sensors themselves.


What Honda is the best 2 fix up?

I'm looking 2 get a Honda 2 race and I wanna know what would be the best one 2 do that with?
What Honda is the best 2 fix up?
mine is a 1990 honda accord and I can honetsly say it is the best even with 300,000 miles on her she still runns like a champ and has been awsome to fix, so I say a 1990 honda accord or any accord after 1989
What Honda is the best 2 fix up?
The best honda is the 1995-1997 Honda Del Sol VTECH, they are fairly rare, so they hold their value, and they look sweet. They also have a removable roof. They get really good gas mileage, and the VTECH has 160hp, which pushes the car along pretty good since it's a very light car. In the 1995-1997 models they added more options and worked out a lot of the bugs. It's a very reliable car too, just like all the other hondas. They also make a lot of aftermarket parts for it, and it's based off of the civic frame, so you can get parts from a civic, or swap the motor for a GSR motor.
Reply:if you dont know already then there is no need for you to even get into fixng cars. if you wanna learn, find a crew that was around before the fast and furious movie. they are the real ones. and F a accord. ill tell you ok, if you want lightness and speed then use a 93-95 hatchback, and if ur a small guy hell even a crx will do, but u hve to learn , do ur research on what motor to put in, if u do this correctly its going to be expensive hobby, for every upgrade you make , something will break, just so you know, but thats a good thing. that means your getting faster . now go learn about importin from the original crews, not the posers. a poser id the one who has rims a wing and a intake , basically just looksand thinks they are fast. good luck
Reply:will civic are nice but they are slow crx are small but they ugly accords are ok but i hate the way they look man I got a civic and i love it to death man the body kit i got bad *** tail light head light go with the civic and buy parts for it mine its nice
Reply:1988-1991 honda crx si, light quick two seater, years of technical write ups, already fuel injected, make almost any mount combination to put any other motor in, even the k20 and the h22. slightly more difficult engine bay than the 92-95 and 96-00 civic's but with the light weight you can keep a great power to weight ratio. plus you can pick one up for under 2k in good condition. they even make roll cages, lexan windows, carbon fiber hatch, and sunroof insert. keep it light with good power and torque. crx is the way to go.


the accord is a pain, and the del sol can be pricey, and is also a heavy car. but it all goes to preference, what is suitable to the eye as well as a good performer.


a 92-95 hatch would also be a good car to modify especially a vx or cx model. as long as you were planning an engine swap.
Reply:Oh the answer. Well the 1990-1993 Accord 5-speed is a good base if you want a sedan H22/23 motors swap right in no need for mounts you can use your stock F-serious tranny. For info on that look into cb7tuner.com





Mainly people pick 1988-1991 CRX's or 1988-2000 Civics, for road race or even lets say 1/4 racing the Del Sol dont have the chassis strength as the other cars do due to well the Targa top. If you chose to race first set goals and budget lets be honest none of use are ever going to need or driver a 8,9,10 second car on the streets or as daily. Many people stop at the low 13's high 12's mark. Ok my choice for all around daily driver and racing is the 92-95 Civic Hatchback 5-speed either VX or CX, there the lightest so is the DX and then the heavy weight Si SOHC Vtec, these motors(DX,CX,VX) need to be swap, so there is where another question comes in how much you have to spend and what are your 1/4 goals, a motor can be built and bought as little as $2000+

Weign differential between standard manufacturer and aftermarket alloy wheels?

I have a question on wheel weight. I want to find out what the weight differential is between a factory fitted 16 inch Honda Civic alloy wheel to that of a lightweight 16 inch Rota rim. How much lighter on average are the latter?
Weign differential between standard manufacturer and aftermarket alloy wheels?
If the standard wheels are alloy, I doubt there'll be much difference. If you're maintaining the same diameter %26amp; increasing width, the newer wheels may well be heavier %26amp; the tyres definately will. I've just looked at a Rota whels site, but no weight is quoted: I can't really see the point of advertising lightweight wheels %26amp; not telling you how lightweight they are!

In order for a car to be Acura Certified Pre-Owned, does it have to be bought at an Acura dealership?

I just bought a used 2005 Acura TSX from a used car dealer that is NOT an actual Acura dealer. They told me the car was Acura Certified Pre-Owned and even charged me an extra $3,000 or so. The 'maintenance required' light turned on the other day so I guess I have to take it in to get checked out. However, while searching for an Acura dealer close to where I live, I ran into an article that made it sound like only ACURA DEALERSHIPS can sell pre-owned certified Acuras. I hope I just mis-interpreted the article or else I'm not going to be a happy camper. If you have any knowledge on this please help!!!!!!
In order for a car to be Acura Certified Pre-Owned, does it have to be bought at an Acura dealership?
I don't see how it could be an Acura CPO if you didn't buy it at an Acura dealer. It could be a "Joe's Auto" CPO, but not an Acura CPO. I think you got scammed by a not very cunning dealer. I can't believe that worked for them.





Hold them to the contract. CPO entitles you to an extended warranty which they should have outlined very clearly.
In order for a car to be Acura Certified Pre-Owned, does it have to be bought at an Acura dealership?
This is a common trick used car dealerships use on unsuspecting customers. They claim the car's to be CPO's.





Unfortunately, CPO's are only sold through the manufacturer dealerships.





In your case, an Acura CPO can only be sold by an Acura dealership. I don't know what kind of aftermarket warranty you got, but $3000 is accessive even for a real CPO warranty.
Reply:did they show you proof that it was certified by a legal acura dealer. Otherwise it is just plain certified by them. I would call acura client services and ask them. the # 1-800-382-2238


What would cause a 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo to shake when applying brakes?

The brake pads are only 1 yr old. Car drives normal until I put on the brake and then the car shakes real bad. I think It is coming from the rear of the car. I dont know if it is the brakes or a tie rod or ball joint. This has been going on for about 6 months and seems to be getting worse.
What would cause a 2005 Chevy Monte Carlo to shake when applying brakes?
Warped rotors are usually the problem. They will continue to get worse over time.





You can have the rotors 'turned', where they shave the rotors flat again. This can work one or two times depending on the severity of the warpage.

WHAT WILL I NEED FOR IT TO WORK
I have a 91 honda civic hatchback with the stock motor just baught a b series vtech will it fit and what will?
yea b series are civic motors..i cant tell watt u need without telling me if its a b16? b18 ?b20? jdm? usdm?
I have a 91 honda civic hatchback with the stock motor just baught a b series vtech will it fit and what will?
Before I start, all 88-91 Civics are pre-On Board Diagnostics (OBD0). OK here goes...





First, is your car an Si, DX, or Std? Second, you must explain the B series VTEC you bought. B18C? B16A? B17A1? USDM or JDM? Is the engine set up for OBD0, OBD1 or OBD2? All of this matters when you have a swap. I will give you some detail on my current swap. Although mine isn't VTEC, the process is very similar.





PREPARATION


Note: These are for physical preparation. After taking the old D series out, but BEFORE putting the b-series in your car, MAKE A LARGE DENT IN THE FRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, IN THE AREA RIGHT UNDER A "POCKET". This area is located where your D-series alternator would sit. You must do this in order to allow for the B series alternator to fit without hitting the frame. Also, whatever you do, CUT THE FRONT ENGINE POST MOUNT OFF OF YOUR CROSS MEMBER. It is the post mount that is located right in front of the radiator. THE ENGINE WILL NOT FIT IF YOU LEAVE IT ON. Trust me, I learned the hard way. Also, take your radiator out before removing/ installing any engine. It weighs like, 10, 12 pounds dry. This is so you won't damage it. Also, buy swap mounts for your civic. They will only be 3, since you can't use the mount in front anymore, unless you get a custom cross member or weld a new mount post on. But Hasport sells them, and so do others, just do a general search on "swap mounts".





ENGINE AND OBD


I'm currently doing a B20B swap in my 89 Civic LX 4dr. That engine is originally OBD2, but my car is OBD0. I found a '92 Integra LS cylinder head+intake manifold (OBD1). Other than one hose that won't fit on the B20 coolant line (which I re-routed to a T-fitting with another hose), the LS intake works fine, since nearly all the sensors (except fuel injectors) fit. I have an OBD0 ECU (computer) from a '90 Integra LS, and bought an OBD0 Integra distributor. To make this all work, I actually bought a complete, uncut wire harness on eBay from a '90 Integra so I could use some of the extra wires and plugs, particularly for the distributor and fuel injectors. I also bought 4 remanufactured OBD0 injectors on eBay and an injector resistor box (from a '91 LS) so I won't burn out the ECU/injectors.





WIRING


After wiring the distributor and injectors, I had to de-pin some wires from the harness that connects to the ECU, and run wiring for my DPFI to MPFI setup, since I had only 2 injectors. I just left the old injector plugs hanging on my harness and did a completely independent wiring setup for the new 4 injectors. I also took apart my alternators for the B20 and old D15B2 to swap out the plug on the back side so it would fit like stock. I then put an 80-amp Battery fuse in to replace the 60-amp (since the B20 is rated at 90-95 amps). Fortunately, other than the amperage rating, both alternators have nearly identical designs. OK now, for VTEC, you have to wire for the VTEC solenoid and oil pressure switch. I can't remember off hand if there is anything else for VTEC, but I'll give you some useful links.





DRIVETRAIN


I bought an LS cable transmission, with a custom shift linkage for B series Civics from 88-91. I'm also running the 90-93 LS half shaft and 90-93 LS axles. In order for them to fit, I took the wheel bearing dust rings off each steering knuckle. MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE AXLES THAT CORRESPOND WITH THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT YOU HAVE. In other words, 90-93 LS axles need 90-93 LS int. shaft, 94-01 LS axles need 94-01 int. shaft., 94-01 GSR axles need 94-01 int. shaft, etc. Try to avoid JDM int. shaft, since it is not the same length as USDM.





KNUCKLES


Now, if you have a Std (non DX, LX, Si) then you have to buy steering knuckes from a DX, LX, Si, or even EX, but the EX is hard to find in junkyards. The reason for this is that the axles won't fit into the knuckles for a Civic Std.





RECOMMENDATIONS


I was very stubborn in doing the wiring because I wanted the wires to look clean, fit well, and not hang out. So learn how to do proper techniques in soldering, heat shrinking, and wire taping. I taped the wires the way Honda did at the factory, and they are tight, not loose. Leave a little slack for any new wires, though. and route them through another hole in your car's firewall, like I did. This way you won't have to take out all the wires to make it work.





HASPORT


I bought a custom shift linkage, but it doesn't fit like I thought. So I recommend going to Hasport's website and buying the combination linkage/ engine mounts. This way you won't have that kind of headache. I bought some used Hasport mounts on eBay, and they work great. I'm kicking myself for not getting their shift linkage though...





Other than having a high idle (due to some sort of intake vacuum leak), my car runs fine, no check engine light or LED code showing on the ECU. Below, I am going to give you some links that helped me the most.

How to put chevy v6 in a 97 jeepp tj?

Swapping a 350 into a Jeep is very popular with several kits for this.





Swapping a 4.3 should be a similar swap.





See the link below for a couple of articles on the subject





The third link is to a website that makes engine adapter kits for Jeeps.

You're not going to find one for cheap.





If you are like many others, you saw Fast and the Furious, decided the Supra was the greatest car ever, and instantly wanted to duplicate it, or something like it.





In doing so, the value of the car skyrocketed, thus ruining it for the average car enthusiast.





You can try searching google for "supra salvage" or some combination of that, and maybe find one for $10k or so.





Or, look for a 1987-1992 Supra. They're just as capable of cars, and only about 1/3rd the price.

Can 20 inch rims bolt on a 1965 Mercury Comet without cutting the fenders or wall?

I seriously doubt it...
Can 20 inch rims bolt on a 1965 Mercury Comet without cutting the fenders or wall?
The rim size isn't the issue, it's the DIAMETER OF THE TIRE! Until that is known NO answer can be given. Being that it is a 65 Comet, I would say a 27 inch diameter tire would be about the limit, 28 if you measure the wheel back space right.





Before you invest in a set of 20s, better buy some Baer Claws if you intend on stopping. Larger rims act like a breaker bar on the breaks, reducing their effectiveness.

Jeep XJ grille guards / tires?

I'm wondering where I could possibly get a cheap or used grille guard/ bull bar for my 2000 Cherokee. Also, I'm wondering what are the biggest size tires I can fit on my non-lifted Jeep. I currently have 225s and was told I could go up to 265s? Any further knowledge on this would be a huge help. Oh, and one more thing, would it be worth it to buy some sort of budget boost to raise my truck? Or just the biggest tires I can fit on there now? Thanks for your help!
Jeep XJ grille guards / tires?
As far as a grille guard, you can check Quadratec (http://www.Quadratec.com) or 4 wheel drive hardware (http://www.4wd.com) Most of the grille guards you will find are incorporated with front bumpers as a unit. The factory bumpers are pretty worthless.





You should be able to run 30" tires on a stock XJ, but it depends on how much your stock springs have sagged over time. I am currently running 30x9.5x15s on my 91 XJ with no rubbing problems. You could do a budget boost and run 31"s but would most likely have rubbing issues. A 3-3.5" lift is recommended for 31"s with no rubbing.

What is the best gas for a 8 cylinder jeep grand cherokee?

This is the 2nd time I have had water in my tank in the past two half months, I use gas treatment once in a while and use plus gas. I know that alot of gas stations add water at there gas but what gas stations have the best quality gas?
What is the best gas for a 8 cylinder jeep grand cherokee?
It's a pain getting water in your tank. You have changed gas stations haven't you? It's easy for them to get water in their tanks. As the gas is pumped out air is drawn in and all air here on Earth has water in it and it can condense into the gas. Also gas rises to the top with water on bottom so as the water rises in the tank it will get to the pump intake and be pumped into your car. Alcohol is a good treatment. It will absorb the water and then be burned along with the water as you run your engine. Also your gas station could have a leaking tank allowing water in. I like to buy gas at newer stations that are busy for these reasons. Also if you buy gas at one station it's possible to know where it's coming from and can report it. Stations can be ordered to do whatever is necessary to clean up their act or else be fined and sent to jail. Also be sure to keep a locking gas cap on your vehicle in case some one is pulling a prank on you.


What was the world's first convertible?

hello, please help. i know that the 402 was the first "retractable hardtop" but was there another convertible before that?


thank you...
What was the world's first convertible?
In the beginning, all cars were open, evolving as they did from buggy and bicycle technology. Weather protection was secondary to making cars run reliably, and few were used in the winter.





When reliability had been achieved, attention turned to comfort and convenience. Drafty, leaky canvas tops gradually gave way to closed cars, helped by the introduction of the Budd all-steel body on the 1914 Dodge Brothers car.





The open roadster (two-door), and the touring (four-door), yielded progressively to the closed coach and sedan. But by 1925 the sale of new closed cars exceeded open ones, whose sales gradually dwindled to a small percentage of the market, where they have remained.





Although the open car gradually lost market share, it never lost its appeal entirely. It was seen as more dashing, adventurous, and sporty, which is why convertibles are more valuable as collectibles.
What was the world's first convertible?
As someone else has noted, the earliest cars were equipped with folding tops that could be erected to provide some respite from the elements. Snap-in side curtains with a pliable, transparent material were used to protect driver and passengers from drafts. Two-door cars with this primitive arrangement came to be known as roadsters.





Roadsters like these would continue to be offered through the 1950s, particularly by brands like MGs, which were purchased by owners who would race on Sunday and drive to work on Monday: the window mechanism was considered to be unnecessary weight.





What we now think of as a convertible -- a two-door vehicle with actual glass windows that more up and down and a folding top -- became available during the 1920s. Pioneers included Peugeot, Chevrolet and Ford.





U.S. and European makers called these cars cabriolets, while the British refered to these cars as drophead coupes.

How do you open the gas lid on a 1999 Audi A4 have looked everywhere and cant find a lever.?
I'm not sure you need a lever or button. Make sure your doors are unlocked and then press on the gas door on the side of the hinges and see if it comes open.
Reply:The answer to your question is inside the owner's manual. You should have read this before driving the car. You did read it right?

You have a blockage in the system which if you read the gauges should show high pressure in the low pressure side of the system. Blockage will be in either the condensor (in front of the radiator) , receiver drier (looks like a bottle) or the TX (thermostatic expansion) valve is jammed.

Reply:I've never heard of a Caddy with a turbo! Like the guy above me said, you can't really add too much more to that car. The northstar engines are pretty common in kit cars, so you should check some Kit Car websites, they may have beefed up the engines in some cases...

Upgrades for 2006 eclipse gt?

I recently bought a 06 eclipse GT. Looking to upgrade some stuff. Is it worth it to buy a injen cold air intake, and magnaflow cat back exhaust?





I was also thinking of installing a Pioneer Avic d-3 nav and putting in 2 12" kickers.





Which is more sensible, audio, or the cold air and exhaust that might not show much of a difference.





No supercharger on the way, to expensive and I'll probably trade my car in, in 3 years (5 yr loan)
Upgrades for 2006 eclipse gt?
if you are going to trade your car, shy away from performance mods. you'll either lose trade in value or you'll have to swap it out for OEM when you want to get rid of the car. the audio stuff will be a little easier to take out when you want to get rid of it.





it's ultimately up to you. do you want the audio or the throaty sound of the exhaust?

Get a GTI instead. It's not 35k it more like in the low 20's. Either that or strap a rocket onto your rabbit.
Reply:to make it a lot faster? no. you'll spend alot on a turbo or supercharger for it. you can get some gains with the normal stuff like an exhaust and CAI. if you were going vw, should have saved up a bit more and gone with a model that has the 2.0t
Reply:Just get a used car for $16K that will outperform the Rabbit. A used V6 Accord coupe would torch one(240 HP).
Reply:I know the car will be able to obtain any speed that is legal in the US. So if you want it faster you must be planning on using it stricktly for racing on the track right? That being said I would suggest that you rethink the car you are looking at buying to race. You should get a bigger budget for the race team and invest in a car better built for racing. I will say what that car is because you asked me not too.

a turbo
Are there any MODS to make an '09 SUBARU IMPREZA 2.5i 4-DOOR a lot FASTER????
isnt this the one without a turbo?? well if it is, dont mod it.
Reply:You asked 2 different questions. If you just want a little oomph, you can do all the bolt ons like header, cat back, intake, lighter pulley. But all that will cost you about $1500 and get you maybe 15 HP. If you want it a lot faster, you can buy a wrecked STI and transplant everything including all the wiring. Cost will be around $10000 to $12000. A lot of money but once you do this the power potential is unlimited. Plus you pay insurance for a 2.5i. I'm guessing if you had another 10 grand laying around you would have bought a WRX so my advice if forget about the power and work on the suspension. No matter how fast you make the car someone will be faster.

I have a 2003 New Beetle thaat the engine locked up on the other day. Question action of VW service dept?

My bug just died on the way into the parking lot at work two weeks ago. I had it towed my favorite VW dealership where they found the motor had locked up. They "simply" took the biggest guy in their shop and the BIGGEST crowbar they had and unlocked the motor. Then said they did not find anything to repair, charged me $122.00 for towing and sent me on my way. Questions-- Is this what should have been done?? Using a crowbar!


Well- last Friday (two weeks later) I am leaking a lot of fluid- took bug bak to dealership where they have found the leaking is coming from the transmission and the entire transmission is needing to be replaced. QUESTION- Could the crowbar in the motor have brought this on? I am being told it most likely did but would like an opinion for an "outside the family" source.
I have a 2003 New Beetle thaat the engine locked up on the other day. Question action of VW service dept?
this is a tough question. it is possible that the trans caused the engine to lock up. when they broke it loose, they just added to the damage that was already done. none of this will be known until the trans is removed and inspected. these auto transmission from VW have had issues like this for a while. not much consolation, but this is about all you can do.
I have a 2003 New Beetle thaat the engine locked up on the other day. Question action of VW service dept?
??? This does not make any sense! i have been working for volkswagen group for ten years, and i have never heard of this! What do you mean the engine locked up??? what engine do you have? sounds to me like the dealer is buying you a new transmission, giving you an honest explanation and refunding your $122. Volkswagen corporate would go ballistic if they heard that "They "simply" took the biggest guy in their shop and the BIGGEST crowbar they had " this is completely unacceptable, and a bold faced lie. there is a lot more to this story that they are not telling you!!!

Why would a spark plug wire head shock me?

I have a 98 ford escort and I touched the spark plug wire head by accident while the car was running and it shocked me. Does that mean that they are arching?
Why would a spark plug wire head shock me?
It simply means that the wires are getting old and losing the insulation value. Time to replace the set of wires before they start arcing.
Why would a spark plug wire head shock me?
it means that the spark plug wires need to be replaced. they are arcing through. the easiest way to find out if they are arcing without touching them is while the engine is running put soap and water in a spray bottle and spray them while the engine is running. you will get a noticeable miss from the engine when you do this if the spark plug wires are arcing.
Reply:It must have a crack in the insulation, that's one way to test them...
Reply:Like most have said, they are getting old and starting to arc. Park the car in a dark place, outside with no other lights, open the hood and start it up. In the dark you can see just how bad they are. If they real bad you should see a really cool light show.

How to get better acceleration on a 99 dodge intrepid base? 2.7L V6?

first you need to do a really good tune up on it,those was peppy little engines,when tuned right they ran real good,run a real good set of plugs in it,and add a k%26amp;n air filter to it that will help on acceleration a lot,it will actually give you a small amount of power from using one of those,other than that the only thing you can do is change the exhuast on it,theres not many performance parts available for the 2.7 ,good luck

How does Toyota build reliable cars?

My family had owned two Toyotas, and they were the most reliable cars I had.





How do they build such a reliable cars?
How does Toyota build reliable cars?
They just do and because they are now one of just a few companies that do, they make enough money from ever increasing sales to make sure they keep doing it.





The basic answer is that they don't change much on models that work from year to year. You can expect significant overhauls every few years just to keep the brand current but making it right the first time, helps cement the idea that Quality is their #1 thing.





If I'm going to spend twice what my first home cost on a vehicle, I want it to keep running longer than my payments.

I think on a teenager's wallet, you will not be able to afford it. Firstly, how are you going to rent it? Do you have a major credit card? Also, if you are under 25, surcharges are added. Next, who is going to drive it? Finally, where are you going to rent it from?





If I were you pool your money together with some other couples and rent a limo. What is the point of renting an A8 anyway? Who are you trying to impress? The car will be seen at most 15 minutes. Picking up your date, going to prom, and then dropping date off. Of course, there is the time going to prom, but no one really pays attention to the car passing them.

1996 Grand Am Engine Problem Please Help!?

No! Need to look! You blow the engine up/ One it knocking. Not post to do that. It means loose parts on the inside of the engine. That really to come apart and do more damage. This kind of damage come from to many RPM's babie. And day cars that are America are not hot rods.


2 The smoke out of the back. You didn't say what color. And color means a lot. Black smoke is unburn gas. White is water. And Blue is engine oil. Most likely you have all three.


I hope you have very deep pockets. Meaning money! If what left of your engine can be rebuild? If you want to drage again. Cause you be doing this again and again. A new motor stock is about $3500.oo to $5000.oo. A race motor run about $10.000.00 to $50,000.00. So how deep are your pocket.

Big red One.?

I sometime borrow my buddy's Porsche 911 to keep my driving skills honed. When driving down #1 Highway at 110-120 MPH in sixth gear I keep seeing this red glow in the rear view mirror. I've tried adjusting the mirror using the day/night lever but the only way that I get get it to stop is to drop back into fifth gear and accelerate to 145-160 MPH. This causes the red glow to fade away and eventually it stops altogether. What is causing this?
Big red One.?
i know quite a lot about cars but never heard of anything like this maybe you should tell your mate and get him to take it to the garage.


but i doubt it is anything serious
Big red One.?
whoa, something is getting hottt!
Reply:Let's see... what are you really asking here? Supposedly it's about a strange glow; a technical issue. Yet, it's not your car and it's something the car's owner could probably answer. Further, you provide no actual details on the car ("Porsche 911" covers cars produced for more than 45 years, with multiples models being produced in each of those years).





If not that then, what are you asking... the details you decide to provide aren't about the red glow, but rather trying to tell everyone what an amazing driver you are. You go out on one of the most known twisty bits of road in the country and slice it up at triples digits in your friend's 911 and really wind it up until something around the engine is glowing red hot! OOOOOooo, ahhhh, yes, I am sure all that read it are so impressed.





If you really want to hone your driving skills, go to the track. Of course you will face the embarrassment of real drivers zipping past (because seriously, there is no possible way you can work on driving skills on any public road... let alone cruising in sixth gear? Come on!), but on the plus side one of them will probably be able to tell you what the glow is, so it's really a win-win situation. Or you could go the easy route and ask the car's owner as it's very likely he or the car's regular mechanic could easily answer this... or if you really REALLY are asking that here, then try providing details about the car and what's going on with it when this happens.
Reply:You don't say what Year and Model you are driving. If it were a Turbocharged Model it brings to mind that it could possibly be the exhaust system getting hot enough to glow red, but I doubt that you could see that in your mirror, and it should have gotten brighter when you sped up to 160 mph. Maybe you need someone to drive next to you to see if it is the exhaust system or your brake light. I bet it is the brake light.


I have a question?

I just recieved a really nice Pontiac Sunfire recenlty, and its an 2002.


I want to know what you people think of them and anything you know. Cuz I love it, imjust curious of what their history is and stuff ya know?











thanks
I have a question?
The Sunfire was Pontiac's cousin to Chevy's Cavalier (and was the better looking, I thought). The early years of production had a higher than average number of problems, but most of those were taken care of as production continued. My only real suggestion is that, as with any car, you keep up maintenance. With the Cavalier/Sunbird, focus on the cooling system since they've had a history of problems with running hot. Other than that, enjoy the car!

Where is the spare tire changing kit located on 1993 Toyota 4Runner?

I just obtained a 1993 Toyota 4Runner. I could not locate the spare tire changing kit. Where is it normally stored? Help please!
Where is the spare tire changing kit located on 1993 Toyota 4Runner?
Now, this may not apply to every year and model 4Runner, but the one I have (1995) and all the models I've seen are like this:








Locate your tire changing tools...there should be a rod with a rounded hook on the end, and a turning handle to attach to the other end.





Now, go to the back of the truck. In the center (either in the bumper itself or in the body), there is a slotted-shaped hole. Attach the turning handle to the end of the rod, and insert the rod, hook-end first. The curve of the hook needs to mate up with the winch inside the hole (you may need to look in the hole with a flashlight first to see what you're aiming at). Once you've got the hook locked into the winch, just start cranking down and the spare tire will lower to the ground. Once you have it on the ground, you can take the chain out of the middle of the wheel.





You can put the other wheel back on the chain and wind it back up again if needed.





Hope this helps!
