New to me Corolla with rough idle is making me crazy trying to figure it out! It idles at a steady RPM, accelerates normally, and starts easily. So far I have cleaned the throttle body, air intake valve, mass air flow sensor, changed the plugs (they looked good), new PCV valve, new air filter...

Finally, put the Dewalt DCF 921 to the test and I like it Lugs, rusted caliper bolts, and strut to knuckle bolts were no problem. The small size made it a lot easier to get to all the bolts and the power was plenty for everything I did this time. Just wish I would have gotten it with the pin...

I have been messing around with a new laptop and Windows 11, I like the laptop but Windows 11 is well, a reminder of Windows 8 and all the goofiness that went along with it when it first came out. I hope Microsoft improves the new system faster than they did with windows 8 to 8.1. I got to like...

I have a wood chipper that calls for a quality 10w-30 motor oil as hydraulic fluid. I have Rotella T5 in it now but will hydraulic oil work as good or better and last longer? I know hydraulic oils can be had for a lot less money and so can different 10-30's. My reason to try something different...

I got a new Hitachi CS51EAP 50.1cc chainsaw and found a muffler fill of catalytic converter, I have never had a 2 cycle or any other small engine with a cat, can anyone share their experiences with this emission control on 2 strokes? After testing it I am impressed with the lack of smoke when...

I am about to reboot my CV axels with Red Line Synthetic CV-2 Grease and want to know how much is enough? The boot kits come with small 4oz packets of the black nasty grease with one packet per boot. Do I use the same amount of CV-2 or more? I can not remove all of the old grease from the outer...

I did not think this Toro Power Max would do very good with the slop we got Sunday because it was 2-3 inches of pure slush with freezing rain, the kind of stuff that clogs everything, while I was using my new machine. It never clogged or even cared what it gobbled up. This blower just plan...

I hope someone can tell me if evap code P0440 will reset without clearing all the OBDII ready codes first? My vapor canister vent valve/solenoid had a broken wire at the connector so wasn't getting power, this threw a "service engine soon light" of course. I would really like to avoid the...

I don't know about the rest of the BITOG crowd but when I have new oil I expect it to look new, meaning not black like it has been run a million hours and needs to be changed. I bought 3 quarts of Supertech 80-140 (dino cheap stuff) gear oil for an old tiller transmission and was very surprised...
