re: Ask a mechanic a question

Do you recommend regular or synthetic blinker fluid? How often should I grease the muffler bearings?

Rebuilt 4.0L long block, head replaced, by reputable shop due to weak springs in the rebuilt motor (or shitty valve job), now the ole 4 slow back fires under full throttle a couple ticks away from readline. No codes. New everything electronic (97 tj with distributer) and all checked (hence getting a 2nd head under warranty). Did not backfire with the leaky head but it misfired like crazy. Not real happy with the exhaust after the head was replaced. Leaky now.

Edit, ideas why it would backfire under heavy throttle about 300 rpm before the rev limiter kicked in.

You still never answered my question. Why should I have to pay for you to use a tool that you need to do your job? That car lift in the garage certainly costs a lot of money but I don't get a "lift charge" to change my tires or oil.

How can you complain about shite you know nothing about? I take it you are not in the equipment industry. You would get laughed at calling my company and complaining about shite like that

2001 F-150. Computer says that controller thing on the back of intake manifold is not functioning properly. We replaced it and the error code still says it's messed up. I need it fixed so I can get it inspected.

2011 Subaru Outback.

The front 2 windows will not roll down when pressed on the drivers side door. The passenger window doesn't respond to the passenger door switch either. Rear windows work fine.

I assumed the drivers side was a master switch, but the fact the passenger door switch also refuses to work seems weird.

Also, the volume button on the steering wheel only works occasionally.

Does it sound like maybe a larger electrical issue, or simply 3 bad switches?

For the record, I've checked all the fuses.

What would be a better engine for my Skyline, A Gallo 12 or 24?

Thanks

My truck acts like it's on a bumpy road when accelerating slowly between 55-60. What causes this jumping? Can't be tranny

Yes it can be the tranny. I have a 13 Camry doing this.

The torque converter causes a vibration throughout the whole vehicle.

Keep an eye on your RPM's as you accelerate normally and it will usually happen just before or after it shifts gears.

Warped rotors or tire(s) out of balance
