Recliner Pilot 61 Posted May 27, 2006 In Australia, do they drive on the other side of the road? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUXBNME 1,499 Posted May 27, 2006 OK, I have an 86 Mazda RX7. Why will this piece of crap not start. The injectors are fine. The stupid thing just turns over and doesn't start. Rotarys are not my specialty, but some things to check. 1) Does it have proper fuel pressure? 2) Any major vacuum leaks? (kind of hard to tell without it running ) 3) Is it getting spark? 4) Does it have gas? Sorry, I honestly wouldn't know how to properly diagnoise a rotary no start problem, aside from the obvious. In Australia, do they drive on the other side of the road? Not sure...Define "other" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted May 27, 2006 When I drive at night, if I pull back the little stick-thingy that sticks out of the left side of the steering wheel column, I get a pretty little blue light on my dashboard. It looks like a little blue headlight. I really like it there. It looks cool. However, whenever I have it on, cars coming the other way flash thier lights at me. Also, when I'm behind guys at a stop light, they yell things and shake their fists at me. How do they know I have the blue light on my dashboard on, and why do they care? TIA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadMoney5000 0 Posted May 28, 2006 Real question I have a 98 Chevy Blazer. Runs fine. There is one thing about it that drives me insane. When you turn your blinker on you can always here that click - click - click sound to let the driver know that their turn signal is on. That's normal, no problem there. The problem is that the clicking sound is always on. I hear it when my blinker is on and off. As soon as I turn my car on it starts that clicking sound. I hear the sound even when the blinker is off and I have even gotten out of the car to double check that the blinker is off and it is but the sound goes on. Another odd thing. The only time the clicking sound stops is when I apply the breaks. I hit the breaks and the sound stops. It's driving me nuts and I'm about to take a hammer to it.

rallo 136 Posted May 28, 2006 I have a real question... so i have a 90 Le Baron (piece of ###### i know) and the car burns oil so the exhaust is like blueish purple haze that smells bad, and is embarassing because sometimes there is quite a lot of smoke when i stop at traffic lights etc. Someone who kinda knew about cars said it might be a broken ring around the cylinders or something? Is there any cheap fix for this, because obviously i want to spend the least amount of money on this POS as i can? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yostevo 0 Posted May 28, 2006 My wife's 1996 Saab fuel gauge indicator is stuck at the "F" position regardless of the amount of gas left. Is there a quick fix to this besides a cinder block on the gas pedal into a wall? (My own personal solution) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife's 1996 Saab fuel gauge indicator is stuck at the "F" position regardless of the amount of gas left. Is there a quick fix to this besides a cinder block on the gas pedal into a wall? (My own personal solution) Well, it is a 10 year old Saab, so I agree with your idea I have a real question... so i have a 90 Le Baron (piece of ###### i know) and the car burns oil so the exhaust is like blueish purple haze that smells bad, and is embarassing because sometimes there is quite a lot of smoke when i stop at traffic lights etc. Someone who kinda knew about cars said it might be a broken ring around the cylinders or something? Is there any cheap fix for this, because obviously i want to spend the least amount of money on this POS as i can? Does it burn oil or leak oil, or both? And at what approximate rate. 1 quart a week? a month? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
