    YACT:Car sputters and lopes at idle

    Well, it was pretty warm today, around 40-ish. However, the way it's running is the same way it ran when it was close to -30 and I left it out all night without plugging the block heater in.

    YACT:Car sputters and lopes at idle

    Ah, just changed the spark plugs and fuel filter this summer as well as the plug wires. Changing the alternator did fix the Volt light however. It's currently sitting in my school parking lot, so tomorrow I'm going to go ask the recreational engines teacher if he can take a look at it in the...

    YACT:Car sputters and lopes at idle

    Alright, starting yesterday when I went to take my car out to lunch I noticed that it was idling horribly, and also practically dieing at idle. I noticed that the generator light was on, so today I replaced the alternator, however, it still didn't cure the problem. Basically, it sounds like it's...

    YACT: Chevy Blazer Won't Start After Changing Fuel Filter

    Yeah, but there's a whole load of crap sitting in the way of it, including the nice skid plate I had to remove. It isn't too bad once you know how to move everything to get right at it.

    YACT: Chevy Blazer Won't Start After Changing Fuel Filter

    The filter was on the right way, I made sure of that when i put it on. It's hard enough to get at it, I sure as hell didn't want to do it again.

    YACT: Chevy Blazer Won't Start After Changing Fuel Filter

    Well, it was the fuel pump. My uncle and myself dropped the gas tank and installed the new fuel pump tonight, and it started right up afterwards. I must say, that was one hell of a job, damn in-tank pumps suck.

    YACT: Chevy Blazer Won't Start After Changing Fuel Filter

    Yes, there is fuel in the car. And I was thinking about the fuel pump, but before I stopped working on it last night I had to turn the ignition on to roll the windows up, and fuel came shooting out of the open line, so I was hoping that it wasn't the fuel pump that went out.

    YACT: Chevy Blazer Won't Start After Changing Fuel Filter

    I went and took another look under the car, and there doesn't appear to be fuel leaking out anywhere.

    YACT: Chevy Blazer Won't Start After Changing Fuel Filter

    It basically sounds like it should, as in there's no strange noises or anything, but it just keeps cranking and cranking.

    YACT: Chevy Blazer Won't Start After Changing Fuel Filter

    All right, while driving home from her office yesterday my mom's Blazer suddenly lost all acceleration. She managed to nurse it home, and I put it up on ramps to check the fuel filter on the suggestion of a mechanic friend. Well, it turns out this thing hadn't had it's fuel filter changed since...

    YACT:78 Cutlass Supreme leaking coolant

    Trust me, you don't want pics of this piece. It's all rusty, and to begin with it was a crappy brown color. So at least the rust blends well. We usually also refer to it as the "Gutless" since it's so slow.

    YACT:78 Cutlass Supreme leaking coolant

    Okay, I own a 1978 Cutlass Supreme with a 260 V8 2barrel. Just recently it started leaking coolant. I looked underneath it and it appears to be coming from near where the pulleys that power the accesories are, and it appears to leak down to near a crossmember of some sort beneath the motor...

    Where do you live, and do you have good drinking water?

    Mapleton, ND Water tastes terrible, hard as all hell, and makes the dishes smell like fish.

    Anyone in Ontario know how to pass the Drive Clean test?

    You really shouldn't have to do anything to pass the test. Your vehicle is relatively new and as long as it's in good mechanical condition it should be able to pass the emissions test easily.
