    How do you adjust front disc brakes on a 05 dodge dakota?

    That's the beauty of disc brake technology....their self-adjusting the only thing that releases pressure from the pads is letting off the pedal. Make sure your caliper slides are moving freely side to side.

    My "coast" function on my Ford Expedition 1999 does not work.?

    Your "clock spring" is most likely the problem. Funny name I know, its a ribbon of wire connections that wraps around when you turn the wheel to keep a connection to the cruise module. I've done many of them on fords. Also less common could be the actual switch that you press on the wheel...

    removed airflow sensor to get to thermostat.left thermostat out and put back...

    A fuel injected engine needs a t-stat to run well. Black smoke means that it's over fueling. Probably because it's stuck in warm up mode constantly. Your going to have o2 sensor rich/lean codes and an ect parameter code until you get a thermastat installed. Don't drive it like this it will...

    Need advice/instructions on doing tune up on a '05 Dodge Caravan 6cyl.?

    3.3L or 3.8L? 3.3L is a bit more difficult. Yeah plugs, wires (has them), fuel filter and air filter. The huge wiper assembly that's covering half the engine on your van comes off!!!!!. Once you figure that out theres actually lots of space to work to work from the top of the motor.

    1998 Mazda 626 Ball Joint Repair?

    If you can actually see the ball, then the ball joint was worn (not a retainer or such). I'm not sure if you need the whole arm or can buy just the joint on these.

    Just leave it dude....I know it looks terrible but you'll do more damage clogging your oil sump with loose debris from the spraying than by leaving it alone. I've done alot of motor jobs on these chevs and they "always" look like this in the lifter valley. My last one was a well looked after 98...

    I have a 1995 Chevy Silverado, It has tremendously lost power, when I step on the

    A 95 shouldn't have a carb on it (it has a throttle body). It sounds to me like it's an ignition fault. Is there lots of black splooge coming out of the exhaust when it happens? If the check engine lite is not on give her a full tune up (plugs wires cap and rotor). First tho pull off center coil...

    I have a Chevy Malibu 2001, yes the one with ALL the problems. The head gasket...

    Fuel cap or vacuum..sounds like an EVAP code (evaporative emmisions). No this would not cause a no start (high idle or gas smell). And neither would the egr valve (may cause rough idle). Does the engine turn over and not start or does nothing happen when you turn the key to start?

    My 94 Honda Passport Is Eating My Tire's?

    Your car has "negative camber" could be ball joints /wheel bearings or in need of a camber adjustment. Look for elongated holes in the strut tower, these are for camber adjustments. Or it could use elongated holes in the bottom cylinder of the strut to adjust camber. Also some honda's have an...

    Check for a broke wire in the hinge area of the door (where it pivots back and forth), this is the most common problem. Does it unlock with switch?

    98 dodge caravan transmission won't down shift?

    You would think your check engine light should be on if it was the throttle position sensor. You can check all your fuses in cab and under hood. I'm pretty sure 98 doesn't use vacuum or linkage for forced downshifts but check it out. A loose vac hose to transmission of a loose or broken linkage.
