    1993 Volvo 940 diagnostic help

    the 93s have the newer car fuses...not the torpedo suckers, but I know them well, too. I checked the fused, nevertheless, and everything looks fine. Had the starting problem again last night...let it sit, then in 30 minutes it started up again like a top. I'll be checking the wiring harness...

    1993 Volvo 940 diagnostic help

    no check engine light. I do remember smelling fuel, but since it's fuel injected, I didn't think that there would be a problem w/ flooding. I was parked at an angle facing down hill...regardless the car didn't start after an hour of being parked. It's running fine now, but I just want to avoid...

    advice for '05 Mustang GT

    Motorcraft FL820S and Mobil 1 10W30 or Red Line 10W30...I change my Red Line at 5,000 Mi. intervals. You can also run a K&N Perfor. gold filter. You'll be fine with either a 5W or a 10W oil. Don't exceed a 30 weight oil, otherwise you'll loose power. check out www.mustangworld.com

    Gas additives, whats in your tank?

    I use 76 gas b/c it was recommended to me by my tuner. I drop in a bottle of Red Line's SI-1 Fuel system cleaner ever oil change, though.

    which gas station gives you highest mpg

    here on the west coast, chevron used to be the best (btu wise). according to my performance tuner, he states that this is no longer the case. 76 gas is the best you can get out here.

    We started using Wix filters at work

    A local oldtime shop had Hastings replaced by WIX, too. The construction seems to be good.

    What oil for 351 Winsor that runs at 120*

    not prob. a good idea to run a 5W20 weight in that engine...clearances are pretty big, and it's not a newer engine, I assume.

    Newbie with Hond 5W-20 ??

    I know that Ford changed to 5W-20 just for their CAFE numbers. They cut the equivalent of 30,000 cars from the road by the switch to 5W20, which doesn't constitute too much, except a lighter viscocity oil that seems to be okay for protection...??? I don't run 5W-20 in my 03 Mustang GT. I use...

    OIL OPINIONS FOR NEW MUSTANG GT

    Is you GT an 04 or 05? If an 05, there are tighter clearances in your 3-valve 4.6L. I am not a proponent of Xw-20 weight oils. The oil was switched to by Ford and Honda to cut their CAFE numbers...this calculated to 30,000 fewer polluting cars on the road, which is virtually nothing. my tuner...
