resolve it? I have a 1987 MR2 (Mark I). Every so often, the brake pedal depresses ever so slightly (without being touched) that it causes the tail lights to go on. This makes it unsafe to drive since other drivers may think I'm hitting my brakes. My workaround was to drive with one foot on...

More likely the battery is dead. Check that first.

It's not just buying the bearing because you then need someone with a press to actually press the old one out and the new one in. Actually by the time you need to replace them you can usually just beat the old one out with a hammer yourself. So if you buy one from rockauto.com or whatever, you...

The lexus. The Jeep is chrysler trash.

The wrangler only came in two door. The cherokee was the four door one, but then it wasn't a convertible. The wrangler does have the fold-away seat in the rear though, so fold it down and see if it has enough space. The cherokee also has the seat, but it also has a sizeable trunk behind that so...

You probably have an ignition problem. The white smoke when you start it is usually water vapor. The mist coming out of the engine when the plugs are out is gasoline. If your igniter is going south, your subs aren't going to help the car any. I would replace the cap and rotor, the igniter...

That's normal condensation in the exhaust system.

Emissions. Both of these had "california editions". To own one in California you have to have a "cali-cat" (California Catalytic Converter - cute huh?) and a door sticker which indicates it's a "California car". It's not limited to these two cars, but it bites sportscars more than anything due...
