    Car dies and won't restart

    Happened twice to me, both times without a scantool on me. So I drive the car around for about five or so minutes. When I come up to a stoplight, I can hear the idle drop down lower than normal. When I go to accelerate, it just stumbles without RPM's climbing or gaining speed, then dies...

    Weird no start issue.

    So, I have a weird problem. My car was in storage for three years while I was overseas. I just got back a few days ago and changed all the fluids/filters and the car started right up like it had been started yesterday. I couldn't believe it. So I went out there today to diagnose an AC issue...

    An XJ Cherokee question.

    I know this is an Buick forum, but I know that a lot of you own and abuse XJ Cherokee's so I thought this would be a good forum for this question. Recently my "airbag" light has come on. It is not usually driven very far except for my wife. She informed me at around this same time the cruise...

    There's one thing I HATE...

    ...the exploitation of kids. YouTube - Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood [Full Film] One good thing about watching socialized television (look at location) is they have no fear of broadcasting things like this. When I decide my son can watch TV, there are NO commercials...

    LC-1 Fitment Issues

    I'm having problems with the LC-1 connector. I've had it break two times already and I think it's because the connector between the LC-1 and O2 sensor is getting too hot and failing (it's under the hood). I would really like to put the connector inside the car, but I don't want to drill a 1...

    Bumper Fillers

    How come every N/A Regal I see on the road has better fillers than the GN? I always see this white one at the local Lowe's (I can only assume he works there) with immaculate front and back fillers. I should show up down there with my tool box and liberate him of them.

    Steering Shaft

    I just got the Cherokee shaft the other day and went out to install on the GN. My question is how the heck does the old one come off? I worked it up and down with a prybar and hammer, but it wouldn't go far enough in either direction. I've taken these off other cars before and they usually...

    Play in the front end

    Tint near the Beach

    Hey guys, I need to know of a good tinting place in this area. The guy I bought my Mazda from tinted the windows a little to dark for Johnny Law (13% on their scale), but it was done really well. It looks like it could be from the factory. Anyway, I want that same quality when I "legalize"...

    Check out my junkyard finds!

    Check out this score. The paint on the car was junky, but surprisingly, it had a few very nice interior and exterior pieces. And the one that I'm most proud of: Damn I've been looking for one of those since I bought the car back in '05. Be Jealous

    A/C Problems

    I have an issue with my AC. After evacuation, I put the switch on Max, fill it up, compressor begins cycling, air is blowing out of the top vents, but it's not cold. The fan also comes on. I've talked to many AC people and even a local GM mechanic and no one has any suggestions on what the...

    Car randomly shut off

    I had the weirdest issue a minute ago, I was taking the car for a test drive after putting in my (hopefully) repaired LC-1, and the car lost all power. The interior lights and headlights still worked, but the radio, gauges, windows and ignition were all non-responsive. What could it be? I...
