    Fuse Box

    Last night noticed blackness on the left side. Cannot see gas gauge or temperature gauge even though my lights are on. Could this be just a fuse? I don't have the manual to the car. It was sold without one. I'm assuming the fuse box under the steering is where I would need to find the bad...

    Upper Radiator Hose

    Noticed leaking of radiator fluid and saw ....oh how do I explain it.....dry "corosion" but it's not corosion on the connection of my hose closest to the front of the car. I figured it was a seal problem and because I had never replaced the hose to just go ahead and replace it thinking the...

    Update: Car Shaking

    Have now replaced the spark plug wires and also checked the motor mounts. Everything is fine. Found a spark plug wire that had a small hole so I figured that was the culprit....nope! Called one place about a diagnostic and they said my car is "too old" that their diagnostic machine is for...

    How do you all fight the temptation?

    It's easy for me! I just use my common sense telling me my car is paid off, insurance is only $65/month and it would be stupid to make myself have car payments.

    Need Reassurance With Knowledge Of My Own Car....(?!)

    Yes, I am. My coworker's husband has been helping me with my car but obviously they are busy. I wish I could do this completely on my own but with this heat and the fact that my daughter is totally draining me right now (not to mention a fat belly in the way lol) I would work on it myself, as...

    Need Reassurance With Knowledge Of My Own Car....(?!)

    Thanks for reassuring my instinct. This whole situation reminded me of a shop I used to go back home for body work and the owner (a Chevy guy mind you) argued with me that my car wasn't a 5.0L. Um....HELLO even a dumb blonde can clearly see that on the engine it says.....5.0! lol I have...

    Need Reassurance With Knowledge Of My Own Car....(?!)

    I need some reassurance. I went to a "mom and pop" shop to talk to them about a possible diagnostic for my car shaking and timing prices. The main guy that works on the cars said "all cars 1990 and up don't have timing; it's adjusted by the computer" eh??????? He told me they don't have a...

    So who drives their Mustang in the winter?

    I used to drive my '94 in Spokane, Wa. I only had all season tires on, which were siped AND I lived up on a hill. Once I came down into the city, the only way to get home was going back up the hill. I did fine. You just have to drive differently. For one, I never used my brake and just...

    why

    I'm finding that a thread can be easily lost. This site seems to be VERY active as a thread I made a day ago that had a reply today could easily be on page 2 or 3. This is a GOOD thing = ) Also, are you looking for any answers or are you only wanting answers that you agree with? lol Reason...

    Why Today Of All Days.....

    Yea, I was hesitant on taking it to Midas as well because back home they are a bunch of rip offs who try to take advantage of people. I figured if they were going to charge me $40+ I would have said no thank you and gone somewhere else. As for my own repairs : P I'm single, what else can I...

    Help

    ebonics? heh sorry hard to read your spelling. Could be cables could also be connectors. Fairly cheap and easy to install. I know that's why my battery was going dead was because of the cables.
