    Help! CD's Stuck in DVD player

    My four disc set of The Police complete collection is safely locked away in my in-dash six, maybe never to be played or to see the light of day again. At least I don't have four CDs stacked one on top of the other in the DVD tray... John B.

    Shocks/Struts

    I figured the buy once, cry once purchase of the mag ride shocks was worth it to me. If they go out again, they're warranted through Rock Auto.

    Code P0174 "System Too Lean"

    Bad news on the brick-up. Hope you get that resolved. The spark plug anti-foulers on the rear O2 sensors is a wise move and one I would look at doing on my own car. The rear sensors do not tell the ECM to make any adjustments, they just tell it whether your cats are functioning. Keep posting...

    Tech II - What To Buy?

    I haven't used the tool yet. If you want full functionality, apparently having a serial port to USB adapter will allow connection of the Tech II with a PC loaded with TIS 2000. However, it needs to be run on the PC with Windows XP. Closest I can get is Windows 7 and my current technical...

    Tech II - What To Buy?

    I'll let you know what I've got when it rolls in. I'd say there's a good chance I'll take you up on that. John B.

    Tech II - What To Buy?

    Well, I went with a Tech II w/ CANDI and the 32 mb GM software off Ebay for a little under $400. Hope I can figure it out! John B.

    Wanted FE2 Shocks

    You can buy an oil filter from Rock Auto and they'll give you a code for 5% off. All you have to do is create an account with them (it's free, takes one minute) and you'll always have one in your "account activity" tab. It'll also maintain a record of your orders so you can print them out and...

    Tech II - What To Buy?

    The more I search, the more confusion I have. As it's near the end of 2022, I am wondering if anything has changed regarding the state of aftermarket diagnostic tools and their ability to access, read and alter settings in all/most of the various modules. Most everything I see connects via...

    You tube wizard costing you money

    He was an Army mechanic until discharge, worked for some shops then opened his own. About all I've been able to pick up. My brother picked up on a couple of errors made in a video of replacing timing chains and guides on a Jaguar XK8. John B.

    You tube wizard costing you money

    I've been watching the Car Wizard for quite a while and I respect what he has to say. He repeatedly says during this series that the later Northstar engines (including all XLRs) had the head bolt issues resolved with the coarse thread head bolts and that the engines are quite reliable. The video...

    Drivers outside mirror

    I replaced my inside rear view mirror because the ball and socket wouldn't hold it in alignment any more, and as soon as I would start the car, both the inside center and the left outside mirror would dim. Didn't matter if the lights were on or off or if it was day or night. I unplugged the...

    Top will not retract

    Sounds like the latch for the front of the roof is not unlatching. See the video series on You Tube by Top Hydraulics if you haven't already. John B.
