I almost had tears in my eyes as I drove the Mark to the dealership today to trade it in on my vehicle. At the last stop light before the dealership I turned off the traction control, turned off the over drive and stomped it for the last time. Slammed into second (Jmod and chip) ripped through...

I had the Jerry Mod done to my car last Friday. My mechanic did the work while I read off A-Train's instructions that I had printed from the TCCOA site. He thought that I was nuts to be drilling holes in the separator plate and leaving springs out of the accumulators in a Lincoln. Some...

I have a distinct misfire while cold, stumbling, like an ignition problem. Once the car warms up it goes away. I have checked all the boots and coils and they appear to be okay. No moisture. No check engine light comes on. Any suggestions?

It is no wonder that Chrysler has slipped to #4 in Canada. Toyota is now in 3rd place. My Father In Law works for Chrysler at their parts distribution centre. He supports his company and owns a 2 year old Intrepid with 12000 miles on it. I had the car out a week ago and told him that his rotors...

I have been wanting to do this mod for a couple of weeks and have not been able to find drill bits in the sizes listed on the spec sheet. Am I missing something here? When I ask for a bit that is .160" people look at me funny (not that I need to ask a question for this to happen). I know that...

I was rear ended this morning. Less than a mile from my house on a four lane road that was very congested with a speed limit of 60km/h (35mph). I was completely stopped when WHAM! An older Chevy hit a new Totota that then hit me. The guy in the Chevy didn't even hit the brakes. The Toyota driver...

I am going to be having the J-Mod done to my tranny. I allready have a programmed E from Dennis. I am looking to firm up the shifts a bit without making it harsh. I have two questions for those that have done this mod. 1. Does leaving the springs out make the shifts too hard/harsh for everyday...

The plankton eating grill is starting to peel it's fake chrome paint. How easy is it to remove so that I can get it painted?

My gas gauge/sending unit is gone. It will not show a full tank and it shows empty when there is still 8 litres or so left. The car is running a little rough at idle while in gear. It is almost not noticeable, but I notice it. No codes come up on the scanner. On a 950 KM trip on the weekend...
