    Toyota carina 2 jerking/misfiring problem :(?

    I think your coil tested well within any error margin of any significance. I think that you have pretty much covered the ignition system. A weak or bad coil will generally exhibit problems opposite of your description of "works better at high rpm's." I suspect that my next move would be to...

    Ford over Honda: Which one tops?

    Which one do you like best? All I can do is give you my opinion but it's you that will be driving it for next few years. (My choice? The Ford Flex Limited based on my positive experiences with my Ford Escape and the local Ford dealer).

    What brands do you think GM should keep from now on?

    Chevy and Cadillac. I, too, would have said Pontiac also, but that's a moot point now. The GMC trucks are generally just Chevy truck clones anyways and really don't need their own designation.

    1997 pontiac sunfire head gasket help?

    Drain all anti-freeze from the radiator. Install a Flush & Fill kit and follow the instructions for flushing the system completely. Any residual coolant or antifreeze left in the system will cause the sealer not to work. Make sure to flush it really well. Add water to the cooled engine, but...

    why do ford and chevy commercials always compare themselves to honda and toyotas?

    "everyone knows honda and toyota are the better the brand." That's why.....they are trying to dispel this myth.

    I want to airbag my 2001 ford explorer sport.?

    If you're referring to an SRS airbag, I definitely don't recommend this as a DIY project. Air bags on the suspension? Check out your local 4WD outlets or google air ride suspension components - I'm sure there are kits available which would minimize any otherwise necessary fabrication.

    I have a 1994 ford explorer sport 4x4 and the push button won't engage the 4wd?

    The Explorer uses an electric transfer shift motor - not vacuum. Check the fuse first, if it's blown, 4WD will not engage. If the final diagnosis indicates a bad motor, check the local salvage yards and aftermarket vendors for one before bringing your Gold Master Card into a dealer parts room -...

    paint job on my Ford Focus?

    Changing the color is more expensive than retaining the original color. There are several areas that generally don't get repainted (or need to be repainted) which will need to be if the color is changed. Paint jobs run from $350 for a "tape and spray" job on up to $3500 and more depending on...

    Does anyone know if Ford still installs safety kits on Ford Pintos?

    The safety recall involved essentially putting a thick, black shield between the differential and the gas tank. It may have already been done - check under the vehicle and see if there is a shield in place. That sounds like a pretty cool ride - many parts for the Mustang II will interchange...

    How can I unscrew an odd-looking screw on my car stereo? *Look for more Info*?

    This is tamper proof screw that takes a special tool to remove it. You can try carefully slotting the head with a thin die grinder disk and using a regular flat tip screwdriver - otherwise, you'll simply need the special tool.

    have a 2000 ford explorer, it has 126,543 miles on it.?

    A miss fire in cylinder 1 and you replaced the plug, eliminating it as a possibility. Now you must check further - plug wire, cap, fuel injector or connector? I have a 2000 with 187,000 miles - and I won't trade it 'till it dies, and that seems unlikely in the near future.

    What about a Ford Model?

    The phrases, Found On Road Dead, and the comeback, First On Race Day, have been with us for a long time - I suspect they grew out of the Chevy-Ford-Dodge rivalries from the respected fans of these brands, both on the streets and on the race tracks. In reality, it is presently GM and Dodge that...

    i have a 1991 chevy camaro rs with a 305 tbi and a 700r4 trans it wont hold oil

    This will bring me a few thumbs done, I'm sure, but in my experience, this is a common complaint with many sb chevy's - especially warmed up and idling in gear. It needs to have the bearing clearances tightened up and a performance oil pump installed.

    Can the wrong transmission fluid damage your car.?

    Yes, your transmission can be damaged by not using the proper fluid in it. However, jerking when you initially take off could be caused by other reasons other than the transmission - have an experienced mechanic give it a quick road test.
