I recently got a free Porter Cable 7334 and i wanted to start polishing/detailing my own cars with it. It has no backing plate on it right now so i need to know what i should be getting.
I believe it should be using a 5" pad, where can i get a backing plate
and polishing pads for it? Seems...
So someone broke into my wife's car last night, its an 04 Cavalier with power locks.
Anyways, they broke in by jamming a scredriver or something in the door lock and then prying down...
The doors still lock fine, but the tumbler on the door is ****ed and needs replacing.
Does anyone...
So i was having some issues last fall, i thought it was my fuel pump going out causing me to run lean but it turns out it was my MAF was dirty. Anyways, before i figured that out i swapped my old 255LPH pump for an Aeromotive 340LPH pump.
The car has not really run right ever since then, I...
I love my cobra but I'm falling out of love with it. So I'm looking at new cars.
Just bought a house so i need something reliable that i can drive in the winter.
Criteria: under or around 15k.

Would prefer a car that comes factory turbo.
Right now i can...

Im getting this which is IAT Sensor high output.
I cleaned my IAT last week with contact cleaner... was fine before then, what could cause this problem?
So one of my cats has recently started rattling.
Is it ok to drive? The last thing i need is the cat pieces flying back into the exhaust port on the head and screwing my car up on decel.
Thanks!
So ive gotten a weird rattle type noise lately, its not overly loud but you can definitely hear it if you put your ear near the front fender. At first i thought it was a pulley bearing on the front of the car but now i know it is definitely near the transmission area.
Any ideas? it makes...
Anyone know what might be causing my MAF to foul?
I was having issues with my car driving and figured out it was my MAF, couple sprays of contact cleaner and it was fine.
Now it seems to be starting up again, under boost its breaking up, AFR jumps up instantly and then back down...
If my MAF was acting strange would the MAF voltage change at all?
For example im having issues with my car running the proper AFR and before i rip apart the tank and replace the pump i want to make sure it isnt the MAF. When i datalogged the MAF voltage was pretty consistent which i assume...
So ive been having issues with my car lately, namely it seems to be really down on power under load (like it pulls normally until i put a decent amount of load on and then it falls on its face) so i decided to data log and see if i could find any anomalies.
When i did a pull the car was...
So I've got an aftermarket H pipe that i catted with magnaflow high flow cats a couple years ago. Anyways, the car seems to "die out" under load. At first i thought it was a fuel issue but my wideband is showing normal AFR. No bucking so it's not a spark issue. I figured plugged exhaust was the...
So yesterday i went for a 2nd gear pull and around 6 grand the power seemed to really drop off and my AFR jumped into the 12's ... after that the car drove fine (didnt do any more hard pulls). I went out tonight and immediately i could tell something was wrong... The exhaust note was different...
So ever since i supercharged my car, whenever i drive it in heavy rain it BOGS under any sort of load... like it can sit there and idle fine and dandy, i can even drive it with an extremely light throttle input, but any sort of load (im talking like 20% load) and it bogs down, AFR drops to 9.0...
So i did the foglight mod when i first got my car, I use them as my daytime running lights, but i would love it if i could wire in a way to get them to turn off when i turn my headlights on (dont need them with Bi-xenon HID projectors).
Anyone got any ideas?
So my dog of 16 years just passed away, pretty sad because i grew up with her. She was an awesome dog who loved to swim and run and play, she was probably the happiest dog ive ever seen. She outlived what we expected by a couple years, as a Golden Retriever she was only supposed to live to...
So i was driving my car today and gave it a little gas in 2nd gear, at WOT i looked over and saw about 12.3-12.6ish AFR and at that moment i felt some detonation. Pulled over and checked everything, car ran fine. Got it to the GF's and reloaded the tune just in case, got some new gasand took it...
So the other day i noticed my oil pressure at idle was much higher than normal, its sitting around 40-45 psi, driving around it seems normal, settling around 75 psi-100psi at WOT.
What could be causing the strange readings? I havent change anything since bringing out for the summer.
So lately my throttle has been hanging on the cobra, like ill be driving around and it drives normally but sometimes i feel like something "clicks in" and then if i clutch in the clutch hangs at 2000rpms for 1-2 seconds and then it drops down to 750.
I also noticed that when i was stopped my...
