My Dad has a 2002 Johnson outboard, 40 hp, four stroke, fuel injected, on his pontoon. It idles fine, but as soon as you throttle it up it dies. It has a check engine light on. Any one know how to go about diagnosing it? He had his "mechanic" check it out and he said everything fuel and...

I have a 2001 Silverado with the 5.3, 4x4 and it has an oil leak I can't ignore anymore. I'm not 100% sure it's the oil pan gasket but I'm willing to replace it to rule it out. I think I understand that the pan won't come off completely without removing the cradle. Can I remove the pan, rest it...

OK, I have a 2009 ford fusion, the check engine light came on, when I press the reset button it checks the car, it stops at zone 8, say to check it the reset it, what is zone 8?

I'm having an intermittent problem that I believe may have to do with the converter lockup. Before the engine is at operating temp and cruising at around 35-39 mph, the MDS kicks in, the converter locks up and the engine/drivetrain starts to buck until you either back off the gas or accellerate...

A customer asked me if I set up home audio yeterday. Had to tell him no. Anyone here do home audio systems? He lives in Jamul out in east county.

AC does not cool. '98 C1500. I charged the system last Oct. (1 can R134a) and it worked great for about 2 months, didn't use it for a month or so and the next time I turned it on, nothing. Compressor does not cycle at all. How do I tell if compressor has gone bad or is system leaking?

I have a 2005 2wd Tahoe 5.3. The front a/c/heat fan stoped working over the weekend. My wife got ont he fwy and it started working. 45.000 miles? Is it common for the fan to go out? Or is it something esle? Also the rear only blows cold air, no more heat. But that happen a while back. Thank...

Just wondering what cost would be for an oil change, filters, brake service, front end alignment, and 2 new tires would be for an 08' Escalade? I'm not looking for exact but a close figure would be good. My girl took the truck in and was quoted a huge bill in my opinion.

My wife tells me that she smells tranny fluid on our 03 2500HD, Duramax Allison. I smell it also. Look for leaks, none. Was not quite ready for a trans service but I changed the fluid anyway. Smell went away for a few days then returned. I have an appointment to drop it off but wanted to hear...

I have a 03' 2500HD 4x4 with a "clunk" in the steering. Most noticeable when slowly entering or exiting driveway. Dealer did a repair when almost new. Replaced intermediate steering shaft I think. (Per service bulletin) Fix lasted about a year. lately it is getting worse. Sounds as though it is...

Same truck, same problem I've been fighting forever. No power steering at idle with brake applied. At the dealer now, Thanks for extended warranties!! First they replace the control valve, said it's fixed, come and get it. I show up, no power sterring still. I get my writer out there to look...

Hey guys , need a bit of help. I just pulled the GM Shortstar motor out of my baja bug. I'm going to install new bearings and seals in it. The problem is, I can't find any info on this motor at all. I've looked all over the internet sites, and no luck. I'm looking for rod and main clearances...
