Maybe it's misfiring badly? I've never even heard of something like this. But I did have a ford ranger 4 cyl. for a while that I didn't have any cash to fix, and by the time I did, it would lurch down the road kind of like you're describing. It turned out to be running with 2 broken plugs...

I've always been taught that the amount of oil that you should put in is what the dipstick says after sitting for a couple of minutes after driving till normal temp. That if youput more in that you are running the risk of a blown head gasket or worse. I've always been paranoid of anything to...

On the other hand though, sometimes the things that the guys did 30 years ago are better working that the stuff now. Given, we have a lot more sensitive computerized equipment under the hood. I guess just take everything with a grain of salt, accepting that maybe it worked back then, and maybe...

I'm gonna get the part today, and likely put it on on saturday. I just drove the wife's car in today. Just in case.

That would be one happenin' campground. Surfin the net and playin on the rocks. WOOO!

That's ridiculuos. whoa to the fugitive trying to hide in my house in the middle of the night. protection of the family comes first.

When my computer does that, I know it's time to throw in the towel. Things are getting way out of hand.

This little story sounded like you were supposed to put some in and let it run for 15-20 minutes. Didn't say whether or not you then changed your oil or anything.

So I just read somewhere that to clean sludge out of your engine you can put a little bit of ATF in with your oil. The detergents will clean it out. Anyone else ever hear about this? I get paranoid about things going into my oil...Don't want to lose an engine...

Wear 'em out. If they work, no reason to change.

Remember that everybody DOES have the right to do whatever they want to their own vehicle. We shouldn't jump on someone just because they want to do something that we wouldn't do. Play nice people.

You're in our thoughts, bud.

Definitely. Who would think that you'd have to pay so much for a little bottle of goo.

So since I have figured out that my sending unit is bad again, how bad is it to drive with it. Last time I had the chance to take it to a mechanic immediately, but this time I don't have the luxury. I can get the part from the stealership on thursday, but can't really sit down and put it...

Here's Jeeper playing in the snow up on Mount Hood.

Sorry about the third post in a row. So I got off of the phone with the stealership, and We think it's the sending unit (again!). Good fun. I love it! Although this time I think that I'll put it on myself and save the $80 or so...

So turns out that after I took oil out of the engine to get to a more reasonable level, the pressure guage still shows 80 psi. Any ideas?

playing up on a local FS road 4610 in estecada not bad pics from my phone eh? I love that place! That's where I spen quite a bit of time driving around and doing some bowhunting. Right along that road. Excellent!

So here's a little story, and a good reason to chnge your own oil... So there I was. At the mechanic's. Check engine light was on. Bad O2 sensor. 3 times in a row. Faulty parts. It was fun. Hanging out with the boys in the shop. Then it got old. Finally we found a good one and...

Is that on official holiday? I think I shouldn't be at work because of the serious nature of this holiday.
