    how do yoy change the spark plugs in a 2000 dodge caravan?

    I used a 3/8 swivel ratchet, with a palm drive handle, plus the socket with a 4 inch extension. When you reinstall the plugs, coat the threads with a nevr seize compound to make the next removal a breeze.

    can you cut car window glass?

    Not normally in a car with tempered glass. Some replacement safety glass is cut with a glass cutter, then lighter fluid is poured into the score mark and set on fire. The heat breaks the glass on the score line and the plastic sheet between the pains is then cut with a razor blade. This works on...

    1981 Ford Courier Dies when driven, Idles fine.?

    Had the same problem on an old Chevy, which wound up being a bad pickup screen in the fuel tank. When the car sits the dirt disperses from the pickup, but gets grabbed up again when you start up. Dropping the tank and checking is your only option. Good luck.

    JEEP/BUICK: Repair or Trade in?

    Easy answer forget either or both cars as a trade, because they are worthless as a trade fixed up or not. No dealer will offer money, unless it's inflated on the other end in the purchase price. Best suggestion I can give is to sell both as is for parts, or fixer uppers privately. Make sure you...

    can black pepper in my powering steering line cause my car to overheat?

    Black pepper was a silly old idea used to slow down or stop rad leaks years and years ago. It will do absolutely nothing to stop any kind of leak at all, especially in a high pressure condition like a power steering line. The overheat and power steering are NOT related. Take it to a shop and at...

    honda civic frame 10pts?

    It may be possible, if it is salvage, ususally wrote off because of age. It's expensive, and must be done in a proper automotive frame rack. A bodyshop can give you the answer and you decide.

    Will an engine from a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme work for my 1977 Buick

    This is a tough one, because GM used engines from everything from time to time and had a big lawsuit over it. Generally, Buick is all by itself in GM. Check with a reliable autowrecker in your area, as they have substitution books that give the right info. Anything on here is a guess.

    my heater blowes my tcs fuse when i turn it on and my abs and break light come

    sounds like you have coolant down inside a connection, and it's causing a short. Take a good look around the heater core area and seperate the connections or plug ins, then use some brake cleaner to dry out the wet or damp contacts. No matter what you do, it's going to be a real mean thing to...
