'98 Toyota Avalon@24.197.255.172 on Mon 2002-05-06 18:38:38 EDT goodwrench, the owners manual tells me to take it to the dealer to have the sensativity adjusted. I don't want to pay them $50/hr to turn a screw if I don't have to. I'll check around. Thanks. Thanks for the info on my Pont. GP

good.wrench@209.122.224.100 on Mon 2002-05-06 13:54:27 EDT Toyota avalon read your owners manual the procedure to adjust the headlamps is in that book.

good.wrench@209.122.224.100 on Mon 2002-05-06 13:53:35 EDT 91 PONTIAC your plug wires are breaking down or the plugs are have both changed

'98 Toyota Avalon@24.197.255.172 on Sun 2002-05-05 20:30:19 EDT My auto head light turner on'r (the technical name) turns the headlights on when it is too dark. I would like to adjust it so the lights come on sooner. Any idea where the adjustment would be for this??

'91 Pont. GP@24.197.255.172 on Sun 2002-05-05 20:24:55 EDT My '91 GP has a miss or hick-up when I am cruising down the highway and just come to the bottom of a hill. It runs fine at all other times but when the engine just starts to lug down to go up the hill the car misses. Very brief and only a few times (5-10 seconds apart). At first I thought it was the transmission trying to downshift out of OD but I don't think that is it. I think it is fuel or elec. related. It just cuts out very fast and very short. Once the car downshifts it seems to run fine-no misses. When I crest the hill it shifts back into overdrive and is fine until the next hill. (this is with the cruise on) Any ideas??

good.wrench@209.122.226.135 on Sat 2002-05-04 08:45:06 EDT chopliver this sounds like a window motor overheating from too much friction due to dry track guides and rollers,remove the door panel and get up in the mechanisms with white lithium spray grease and lubricate every window guide and track then try operating the window,if trouble prsists it means the window motor is going bad,if your not experienced changing motors i suggest you have it done in the shop.

chopliver@66.82.102.106 on Sat 2002-05-04 08:16:12 EDT Hey, anybody out there know anything about fixing windows? We have a GMC Safari. The drivers side has an automatic window. Recently it hasn't been working right. It will down a little bit and stop. To get it to go back up you have to turn the engine off and wait and go back and turn it on a couple of times. We tried a new switch but that didn't do the trick. Thanks for your time.

91NissanOwner@205.188.197.23 on Tue 2002-04-30 22:38:25 EDT Hi, I am having car trouble and was wondering if anyone here might know what is wrong. When I am not pushing the gas and in drive or when I am sitting at a stop light in drive, I get a buzzing sound out of the dash. The battery light flickers in motion with the buzzing. If I switch into neutral, it slowly stops. Any ideas?

good.wrench@209.122.223.111 on Sun 2002-04-28 17:14:34 EDT PARFOUR stay away from the focus,they have had more recalls than any other ford in history,they have a habit of catching fire too! if you want to find out more go to button and check the list of recalls and technical service bulletins for that car,judge for yourself.

parfour@24.161.124.231 on Sun 2002-04-28 17:09:07 EDT am looking at Ford Focus autos! Any help, good or bad/

ted@65.29.193.31 on Sat 2002-04-27 11:37:24 EDT i withdraw the query.............
