Most brake noise that I heard that are not caused by simple wear and tear of pads are improper fitment of abutment clips or the anti-rattle clips (if you car has em, not all do.) You see once rust, dust, and debris start getting into the clips the ears on the brake pad may stick in the corners...

Ask questions and do your own research. Even though you know the person who had the car before they traded it in. I would do a carfax to get an idea how long they have had the car on their lot and whether it was traded around from one lot to another. As you know the person who had it before...

I wanted to quote myself here just to further elaborate. The MAF or mass air flow sensors job is to detect/measure how much air flow is entering into the engine (more specific intake manifold) so the ECU can adjust fuel trims accordingly to maintain a balance between air/fuel delivery to achieve...

Have you tired cleaning the MAF sensor? I mean if doing all this throttle body work has helped you in the past, I'd be curious if the MAF sensor is functioning correctly. I'm not familiar with your car but I'm curious if you car has flood clear mode too. As your ETBC is controlled by a...

By leaks you mean no noticeable holes in the exhaust or anything like that? or You mean like fluids leaking. Is the check engine light on at all? To me it sounds like a evap. leak perhaps a bad purge canister or something as simple as a leaky gas filler neck. Fastest way to find this out would...

This guy has the right idea. I think this video over here: will explain the process to remove them well enough.

Yep. Three vehicles, Six Accidents. First was in a mid 90s thunderbird. Was the first car in a multi-vehicle accident ( seven cars) the seventh car was on their cellphone not pay attention the the stopped cars (red light) and blasted into us at 50+ ( 50mph being speed limit). My car only had...

Download and install the Avira Manager. (The 4.4MB thing on their site.) After it installs open the manager from it's taskbar icon by click right-clicking and selecting open avira. It should open up with a red/dark gray popup screen and now you need to click the additional options menu (the...

Sorry for the really late reply back here I forgot about my own thread ._. Anyway, I got a chance and followed all the hoses. Every. Last. One. None of them were cracked or worn and on a whim I purchased a gas cap to see if that was it and that didn't fix it. So I borrowed my neighbor for...

All I can think of for you is to try and update the firmware for your ps3 when you get a chance. Current version is 4.55 If yours is older than that... maybe it'll fix it (slim chance...) Only other things I can think is maybe wherever your grabbing the copies from have a bad batch of discs...

I'll check it out tomorrow and see if something like that is there. I'm gonna be annoyed if I gotta drop my tank to get at it though.

Not sure. Never heard of that before. If you could describe what it looks like and its general location I could see tomorrow as its not pitch black out.

=( P0442 code it being thrown up on my '01 Dodge Ram 5.9L. From my google skills this is a small evap leak code, which is linked to a bunch of things. Poor sealing gas cap, split hoses, purge solenoid, evap canisters, etc. My question is, if I can't find a cracked hose or something relatively...
