I have a 1991 Corolla that runs but sometimes on the highway the engine will momentarily appear to sputter or cut out , the continues to run . The ignition parts all appear to be working and the wires are within spec. when checked for resistance .The spark plugs are good and fire . I think it needs a fuel filter replaced . The filter is low on firewall and is very hard to get to . Is there a easy way to get to the fuel filter ? I have never had a car that had the fuel filter located at such a difficult location to replace . But I had a lot of older VW diesels and those are simple .

I bought a 1993 Honda Civic cheap a couple months ago when my car got stolen . The car runs well and goes down the road fairly decent. I just got a flat in a front tire . I noticed the tire wore through the tread on the inside part of the tire while the tread on the outside is like new . The other front tire is wearing the same way . When I had the car jacked up I noticed the front wheel has a wiggle when pushed/pulled a little . Do I need to replace the wheel bearings and/or I get the front end of the car checked at a shop ? Does the car need an alignment ?

The car is a LX model with power mirrors but the local junkyard doesn't have any power mirrors Is it possible to install a normal mirror, mirror that adjusts manually , in place of the power mirror until I can find the correct item ? I need to drive the car but won't until I can get a mirror .

My daughter left for a week and noticed after returning she had left the glove box door down . The glove box light stayed on and drained the battery . After she charged the battery the starter still won't turn over . The car ran fine before the battery drained . The recharged battery will start my car , I tried it . Her boyfriend tried to jump start her car, but no luck . What is the special trick needed to get VW's from that era to start after recharging and /or replacing batteries ?

I was playing a computer game on pogo the other day and a message popped up on my computer screen saying I needed to update my Java. I clicked the message and went to update Java. I followed the instructions on the Java website. When I restarted my computer to test for Java my computer stopped and a message popped up saying like " test stop... recover website " . How can I fix this ? I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Java but the same "test stop... recover website " comes up . Is there a way to get Java to reinstall and work ?

My girl friend has a 1991 Toyota Corolla that keeps blowing the #8 fuse. I know the fuse covers the tail lights, brake lights and the dash lights but is there an easy way to narrow down where I need to look to fix this. How does a person get the fuse box out so I can remove individual electric lines to a can trya new fuse without say the dash lights or without the brake lights ?

My daughters Google Android tablet, with 4gb micro card , won't start. She accidently charged it with her cell phone charger that is a 5.2volt charger and the tablet is a 5 volt set up. The maker of the tablet is actually Kaser Model VF723 8 G.Did she ruin the battery and/or the tablet ? Is there maybe a fuse that would protect if it was over charged ? Can this be fixed ?

I am having a problem with the door window on a friends 1991 Toyota Corolla not rolling all the way up. At the very last bit of movement, about 1/8"-1/4", the window stops and the hand crank starts to slipping. The handle turns and it looks like the part the handle is attached to turns but the window doesn't close all the way. How do I get the handle off and how do I fix so the win dow closes all the way ? Thank you. I am fine working on brakes and engines just I am not used to working on car body parts and such. I don't want to break something caused more to repair.

My girlfriend is daring me to dress up as a female at New Years. My eyebrows are a bit to thick as they are now. Would it be better for me to have them waxed or have them shaved into a thinner shape ? A local makeup lady said she would shave them into shape and they would grow back sooner. How long before they would look normal ?

I have a 1994 Honda Dx with a manual transmission that has over 200,ooo miles. I may be needed a different engine sometime in a year or so and I have seen 1.5 liter vtech engines from Japan cheap. Could I install a 1.5 vtech the same as a regular 1.5 engine or do I need any other electonic componets to have the vtech work correctly ? Could a vtech 1.5 liter engine get better gas mileage than my regular 1.5 liter ? My car gets really good gas mileage now but just thinking the vtech may do real good as long as a driver doesn't rev the engine out. I am just thinking about the fact that my engine is getting old and may not pass smog this year where I live in California.

My 1991 Corolla with an automatic transmission starts some of the time and sometimes it doesn't start. It has been doing this for over a year and a half. I check the battery and it is fine with 12.5 volts. I turn the key and the starter will click like it should, just won't turn over. If it was a bad starter wouldn't the starter stop responding at all within a couple of days ? Could this be the automatic transmission neutral switch acting up ? How could I check the switch ? Any other ideas I haven't thought of would be appreciated. Thank you for any help. I need to figure out why the car continues to act up but then start. I need to make sure this car will start when I go to work.

I have 2 used computers that need some work. The Dell Dimension 8400 has a fairly new hard drive installed but the motherboard has died. The HP a320n works sometimes but the hard drive is on its last legs. I know both systems use SATA hard drives and are running windows XP. I was wondering if it would be possible to move the hard drive from the Dell into the HP. Is is possible ? What would have to be done to get this to work ?

I un-installed my 32 bit java in my computer that runs windows 7 and is supposed to have a 64 bit java. I re-installed the correct java but it doesn't work. I can find the new java in the programs and checked the java control panel and verified that it is set on windows. What am I missing ? Thank you for any help.

I just did a fresh re-install of my Dell Dimension 8400 last night. The computer ran good. I figured it was late and I needed some sleep, so I turned the computer off. This morning I went to turn the computer on. When I pushed the power button and nothing. No lights, sounds or anything. The surge Protector was on and I checked a few other things but I can't figure what went wrong. Are there any tests a person can do at home to diagnose this computer ?

The starter in my 1994 Civic DX with a 1.5 liter engine doesn't get any voltage from the ignition switch. I checked the ignition switch and there is no voltage even getting to the switch. My cars electric system has been taped up by a previous owner so I can't track the wires very well. what wire brings the electric voltage to the switch ? Does this wire come straight from the BATTERY to the switch ? Thank you for any help. I bought a manual for the car but the Haynes manual doesn't show what wire brings the power into the switch, very vague wiring diagram.

About 6 months ago my Civic wouldn't start some of the time. I found the clutch switch that is wired with the starter was out of adjustment. I adjusted the switch and all was well and the car started starting reliably. This week the car is back to starting some of the time with the key and some of the time I need to push start the car. I checked the wire from the igniton to the starter with a volt meter. When my friend turns the key there is nothing until run the positive wire for the volt meter on the ignition wire on the starter and ground the other volt meter wire. When I use the volt meter check the car starts every time. What can I do to fix the car to start reliably as it should without the voltmeter trick ?

I got a Suzuki Savage motorcycle for partial payment on some work I did for someone recently. The gas cap had been replaced by last owner but they lost the key needed to unlock the cap with. Is there an easy way to unlock the key without getting a locksmith ?

I need to fix the cv in my 1992 Corolla but I can't get the left half axle to come out of the transmission. The car has a 5 speed manual transmission. The hub stays in the transmission , even when I pull the axle the cv part stays in the transmission. Thanks for any advice.

The rear main seal needs to be replaced in my Subaru Legacy. The car has an automatic transmission and is also AWD. Is it easier to pull the engine in these cars to replace the rear seal or take the transmission out ? I am wondering since the AWD looks to be a bear to take out.

I have a 1995 Ford F-150 truck with a 4.9 liter engine. I don't know where the recovery tank hose mounts on the radiator. I bought a radiator for the truck but the radiator has 2 possible locations to mount the recovery tank hose at. The first location is at the same level as the radiator cap and the second location is lower down on the radiator neck. What is the correct location ? What is the second location for ? Thank you for any help. I just got this truck in not operating location and want to start using it some .
