My neighbor squirted carb cleaner down the air port of his fuel injected 4 cyl. Toyota truck. (thinking it was a carb under the air filter) When it backfired he then hosed the engine down. Two days later it still won't start, so wet electronics can probably be ruled out. Question is, what bad...

I've tried the special 3M tape and it just doesn't work very well. Once that seal is rippled, it's stretched too far to lay down flatly. What have you pros done besides replacing the window which is not an option in my case? It appears to me that if the rippled part of the seal were cut back...

This is probably going to sound stupid but one of the first things I noticed about the Mark was that the wiper blades made a 'suction' sound as they slid over the glass. Pretty classy, I thought. Now that they're coming apart, where can I find suitable high end replacements? Ruling out Pep...

Subject: dark in here A woman takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work. Unbeknownst to her, her 9 year old son was hiding in the closet. Her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she puts the lover in the closet with the little boy. The little boy says, "Dark in here."...

sheep story A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of the dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Broni suit, Gucci shoes and Ray Ban sunglasses leaned out the window and asked the shepherd, "If I tell you exactly how...

this weekend. Going out to a friend's in the desert with a big garage armed only with my B & M cooler, bulkparts fitting and Maples8 installation instructions. Can anyone who has performed this install offer additional advice that Maples8 may have overlooked? I plan to run the cooler inline...

I'd like to hook up my outdoor security camera to the computer and send a continuous video of the disgusting illegal alien invasion problem in my neighborhood to the world. Anybody know how and how expensive this would be? Thanks. Barry Ames '93 blk/gry 87k Lake Forest, CA

Carparts.com wants $89.00 for the same cooler a local shop can order for $55.00. Part #70264 - Anybody know the best vendor to go to here? Seems like it oughta' be cheaper on the net. - I'm finally sober. Barry Ames '93 blk/gry 87k Lake Forest, CA

For anyone who is around fifty years old..... A four CD set called "NUGGETS" is in order. You'll hear songs that you thought you'd never again hear since you were sixteen. Specifically, "ORIGINAL ARTYFACTS FROM THE FIRST PSYCHEDELIC ERA" -( I doublechecked...the spelling is correct.) Your...

With broadband I sometimes stay online for days at a time. Usually unintentionally. If I'm logged onto a site like msn.com for this duration I seem to get a lot more spam than if I'm logged onto LOD. Is this my imagination or is msn really getting into my computer and dropping cookies all...

Some of my friends think I'm crazy because I go to extreme lengths sometimes to park the Mark so that I can pull straight out of a parking spot, eliminating the back up procedure. I figure why put the drivetrain thru all that backlash if I don't have to? Plus I usually have to park far enuff...

I'm dieing to get a good look at a blacked out Mark VIII up close and personal. I never hear of any Lincoln events happening out here. What's up with that? We need a West Coast Carlisle. (or however you spell it) And I'd kill for a Nobel peace prize. (Stephen Wright)

turning off the suspension switch? I just realized the brake guy has my car on the lift with the switch ON. Damn!! I knew this was going to happen. Which is true under these circumstance: 1. Forget about it. Once it's raised, any potential damage has already been done. 2. If it's been...

My mechanic said he couldn't fix my brakes so he made my horn louder. (Stephen Wright) I'm beginning to hate California mechanics. At least doctors sit down with you, sympathize and pretend to have a little interest in your opinions and queries. The mechanics ALWAYS want you to drop it off...

I've noticed in the pix of some members' finer cars the grille seems to 'shimmer'. Is this caused by some simple doorscreen placed behind the grille or a whole different grille?

Is there a mechanical test? This mechanic drives the car and tells me warped rotor(s). But it's too hard to tell which one or how many by driving it, he says. So, now I must remove and resurface all the rotors based on a braking shimmy. This just doesn't sound right to me. Couldn't the...

I mean the plug in the bottom to access the torque converter. Is that indicative of a bad tranny seal?

The one (only one) that's activated when the hood is elevated. Such a cool accessory and mine won't work! :(
