    ABS, or lack thereof

    Lately my ABS has stopped working. I noticed it first on a rainy day where I spun the tires and my ABS light came on, along with my 'traction control off' light. Now, every time I go over 20 mph the ABS light comes on, along with the TC light. I'm not too worried about not having my ABS, but...

    Missing air ride clip

    So as I'm finishin up replacing my strut rod bushing and LCA, I notice that I can't seem to find the metal clip that clips on the air strut solenoid to hold it in place. So my question is, will it be ok to drive and does anyone have an extra? I would be willing to pay for it as well as shipping...

    caliper bolts

    I'm in the process of doing some front end work and can't seem to get the 12mm bolts loosened so I can remove my caliper. I used a 6 point socket and stripped them. So I got some sockets for damaged bolts and some new replacement bolts but still can't get the damn things loose. Any tips would...

    Power steering out

    So last night I get in my car and take off, with no power steering. I look at where I'm parked and there is a lot of fluid on the ground. I drove to the gas station and threw some power steering fluid in there, but still no power steering. So tomorrow I'm going to have a look at the pump...

    Stereo installation question

    I just got done installing a new head unit, new speakers all around, and an amp to run the speakers. When I turn the key to the ON position, without the car started, the radio works fine except there is noticeable static. When I start the car, the sound is worse and gets louder when I rev. the...

    Turn signal lever

    My cruise control stopped working recently and I thought maybe it was my turn signal lever. Last time the cruise worked, every time I would use the right signal to change lanes the cruise would kick off. Now the cruise doesn't work at all. Also, the lever feels and little loose. So my...

    Fuel Filter help

    Hey guys I started replacing my fuel filter a while ago and got stuck. I got the line disconnected from the bottom and got the bracket off, but I can't get the top line to disconnect from the filter. I keep tugging but don't want to break anything. Am I missing something? I need the car in...

    message center

    So about half the buttons on my message center no longer work, including the oil change reset, which is really irritating because every time I start my car it's ..beep "oil change required." Is it possible to take the thing apart and clean it or something, or do I have to just try to find one...

    Jackhammer

    I was watching an episode of Pimp My Ride tonight and they installed at 22" MTX Jackhammer subwoofer in a Buick Century. This thing blew my mind. 360 pounds and I think they hooked up like 6 amps, 6 capaciters, and 3 extra batteries. I just wanted to say that thing is crazy.

    The real MonsterMark

    Tonight I saw a white 93 Mark that was jacked up so high it looked like a monster truck. Must have had a screwed air ride system. Kind of reminds me of the way that some people nowadays are putting lift kits on Caprices, etc. and putting like 28's on them. Looks completely rediculous.

    Dumb mistake...part needed

    Today I was messing around with my air ride and I noticed that the ball stud holding one of my front height sensors was loose, so what do I do? Tighten it too much, and break it, like an idiot. I was wondering if I should call some dealers to try to find a new one, or if anyone on here happens...

    EGR flow insufficient

    My mom's 2002 Explorer has had a check engine light so I took it and had the codes pulled and it said the EGR flow is insufficient. Now I know that this is a mark 8 page but you guys are so knowledgeable, I figured I'd ask anyways. Anything I can tell her to point her in the right direction as...

    question about brakes

    Ever since I got my 96, there is a wierd noise that comes from the front when I use the brakes. It almost sounds like a huge spring that is stretching out. I don't think it does it all the time, but most of the time it does, especially when I start driving. It sounds like it's coming from the...

    headlight question

    So, one of my headlights has this square plastic piece just sitting inside of it and the whole headlight has this brown crap all on the inside of it. Is that the beam deflector or whatever it's called? What would be the best way to clean that crap out? Should i just take the whole assembly...

    "clicking" noise

    Lately my 96 has been making a noise from the engine. The only way I can describe it is a constant clicking noise. I don't notice it while I'm driving, but when I pull up alongside other cars or something to reflect the noise, I can clearly hear it. Does anyone have any ideas? Also the noise...

    air resonators?

    I was just wondering what the plastic pieces are on top of my engine (96) connected to the air intake. Is it the air resonators I have heard about? What purpose do they have, and what is a good way to get rid of them? I noticed most of you guys don't have them on there.

    overheating

    Ok, my 96 is having some overheating problems. For the past 2 weeks or so the "low coolant" message has been popping up. I filled the reservoir and a few days later the message pops up again, and the reservoir is nearly empty. Today when I was driving my temp. gauge was almost to the red, so...

    cat problem

    I have been having this problem for a few weeks now. I drive my 96 (with 112,000 miles) quite a bit every day. If I drive the car a lot then turn it off and let it sit for a few minutes, when I start it up again it idles very rough, so rough that it dies about half the time. I have to keep it...

    Long story and question about ball joints

    On Friday, I took my 96 to get aligned at a shop in town. After sitting for about 30 mins., The mechanic took me out and showed me my ball joints. He claimed that one side was not properly bolted in and was a little loose. He said they could tighten it up for me for $15 extra. I said...

    error code

    my check engine light comes on now and then and my car idles rough sometimes so I got my error codes checked. It spat out code DTC P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder misfire. Has anyone had this or does anyone know what it could mean? The guy at advanced auto parts recommended new plugs, wires...
