    97 Escort ???

    Got a question about my daughter's Escort. I have a #4 cylinder misfire code. The guy at Auto Zone said that this could be caused by a pinched plug wire since she (daughter) installed after market (thicker) wires but kept the original plastic wire stays. They do pinch it a little, but I'm...

    Car parts terminology

    My daughter's car has some damage to the splash guards inside of both wheel wells. I'm trying to order some new ones, but I'm not sure what they are called. I think that they are called "splash shields". These come for both sides, but there aren't any pictures for me to verify if it is the...

    Towing an Escort

    I have to go up to VT to pick up my daughter's Escort after she loaned it to a "friend" who then hit two cars with it. (His "heels":o got caught and couldn't get to the brake). She's afraid to drive it, so I think that I'll just drag it back here to CT. I'm considering a dolly to reduce weight...

    I'm lazy, help me stay lazy

    Like many people I have a dehumidifier in my basement. Actually I have two, one in each basement. One of them is a fancy model with a pump that allows me to be lazy. The other is old school and requires emptying daily. I would like to build a small pump complete with tank level switches to...

    Window Stickers

    It's great to back from sea! I have various stickers that came with various parts for my dirt bike. If truck stickers can give you a perf upgrade, what about bike stickers? I already have a Lacrosse Unlimited sticker on for my son and it made me a better coach. I'd hate to waste a free perf...

    Ranger Help

    I need some help with my son's '03 Ranger with the 4.0 L. He replaced the plug wires today and now it doesn't run right. It has a miss when the engine is revved up. I think that he may have miswired the plugs. I restored the right side back to the original wires, same skip. Now the engine...

    MX Pants fit

    I need to order some MX pants for my son and myself, but I need to know how they fit. Are they generally tight, loose, etc. I don't want to order something that's gonna fit like a bag nor do I want nut huggers either. Any suggestions?

    USS Hawaii Pics

    Well, we finally made it to sea in December for our initial Sea Trials. (See photos in my folder) Our schedule was accelerated by about 6 months so that the Govt. could have 2 boats delivered in one year. The last six months has been a pain, but it was worth it. She is an awesome machine and...

    Linux help

    I have an old P600 that I want to play Linux with. Where can I download the ISOs for a recent operating system? I have an older version of Mandrake, but I'd prefer to use a newer version. Thanks

    Dirt Bike advice

    Today I picked up a 2002 YZ250 for a steal from a friend. It was last ridden 2 years ago when he wrecked it and tore up his knee. Now his wife wants the basement real estate back. It has a pipe, jetting, intake, seat and suspension upgrades. He put fresh fuel in it and tried to get it...

    P0442 code

    I just had the P0442 code return after Auto Zone reset it for me. We cycled the gas cap several times to free it up. I see that there are a number of things that could cause this. Is a new gas cap the next step? I don't even know where to look for most of the other items listed for this...

    How much motorcycle?

    I'm thinking of getting my kids;) a Kawasaki KLXâ„¢125L and I'm not sure if it will fit in the ST. I'm sure someone has hauled a bike. Any pics? Also, while cleaning a switch on my 82 Suzuki I broke a small plastic piece.:angry: What's stronger super glue or epoxy? I'm also open to other...

    New Shoes

    I just ordered a set of 265/70 Revos for the old girl. She also rolled past 60k today. A set of 5 tires was $833 with mounting/balancing/stems and front/rear alignment through Town Fair Tire. The Navy Exchange has a program where we get stuff cheaper. I hope I don't have to do this again...

    Good Show

    Just got back from a Sugarland / Brooks and Dunn concert at the Mohegan Sun Casino. Jennifer Nettles is SMOKIN'!!!:wub: and the back-ups for B&D ain't bad either:) The concert rocked and was awesome. The only negative was the drunk couple next to us. I only hope that they didn't drive and...

    New Tires

    Today I found some dry rot around the entire circumferance of my tires. It's about an inch out from the wheel. I hate the thought of having to buy new when these have a lot left in them (even though the're the OEM crap). Having seen many pics and read of upsizing up to a 265/70-16 or a 75...
