| I don't see any risks but also I don't see that you'll get much benefit, since you still have a catalytic converter in the way. Mufflers can't "make" HP...in fact, the best muffler is none at all, if you want a little more power. Usually, any exhaust modifications are done in conjunction with other modifications. But it can't hurt, and maybe it'll sound better. | |

So, sounds like maybe idle is too low....can you adjust that easily? Also, check for vacuum leaks through hoses or manifold. And let's not forget basic tune-up specs and parts. Go for the simplest fixes first...they are the quickest and easiest. Stay out of the computer stuff until you've run out of simple ideas. And don't get advice from ten people, you'll just get confused. Do what you can yourself, keep a record of what you've done, and then enlist the aid of one good shop and work with them. A good shop does not throw parts at a car until it is fixed. They diagnose it and take their time. |

Does anyone know how to access the front left turn signal to replace the bulb? My husband can't find the access, and we truly don't want to pay the dealer for such a small (but necessary) thing! It's in a 1995 Lexus ES300. Help? Luanne |

| Hmm...I don't exactly but often if you can't find an access you can just pull the lens out forward by releasing a clip behind. This is how BMW does it. You can't really see the bulb until you remove the entire unit....just a guess here...you might try the Coupes Board and ask Lexus owners there. Use the drop down list in the upper left hand corner of this page, where it says "select topic". | |
| Hi, I'm new to the Lincoln car and am attempting to do some extensive research. I'm trying to solicit the accumulated knowledge out there for the pattern failures on this car. So far it seem to be a pretty good year, etc., but I don't feel I've found the mother lode yet. If you know where to go (or the answers) for the weak/trouble points, please advise. As far as I can tell the air suspension is troublesom on other years, not this one. The self dimming mirror has a problem with self destruction (being replaced under warranty), and the tires seem to need undue replacing. There's got to be more. The car has 95,000 mostly highway miles on it. So far everything works fine. I'm just trying to prepare for the future. Also what do you think of an extended warranty on this thing (3yrs./36K is $2,000 -$100 ded. and covers most drive train/AC problems)? Thanks. Taztaz | |

| Ok the manufacturerer says that I can use those two products, I'm sure there are other productcs out there too, but I'm concerned whether those products will work with all vehicles, and whether those products will have fittings that will fit my car, I have a 91 Toyota Tercel. If anyone else out there has experience with just those products, it would be great if u can step forward and say a few words about those or any other R-12 replacement products that doesn't require licensing to buy. Thanx in advance! | |
| is there a good online maintenance schedule site that anyone knows about? i have a 99 Suburban and would love to have email reminders about scheduled maintenances. Can you help? thanks | |

Hi. I really don't know much about cars and am afraid to take my car to a shop and get ripped off. My problem is that whenever it rains, actually the day after, my car has problems accelerating. Here's what happens: I start the car and everything is fine. It idles fine. However, when I try to go and push down the gas peddle it sputters (usually not until I'm actually on the road-how nice!) then it stalls. THen I try to restart it and as soon as I push the gas it stalls. This happens repeatedly until I "gun it" and get up to about 40mph. THen after driving for a while it is completely fine. My father said it sounded like the distributor cap or rotor and replaced these along with the wires. That didn't help. Then he replaced the gas filter (I told him I've bought that dry gas stuff and it seems to help). That didn't help either. Does anyone have any suggestions??? Or is it just time to say goodbye to my good ole Camry (which has been through a lot through all those 210,000 miles!) |
