I have a tiny pinprick hole in my metal tubular power steering hose. Is
there a simple way to plug this hole? Is there a special glue or sealant I
can use? To replace the hose looks like a very difficult task. I want an
easy and cheap way to fix it.
Thanks,
Nino
Ok, looking for opinions on a possible purchase.
1996 Thunderbird 3.8L. 99K miles. Anyone have any opinions on the
reliability of this engine after 100k, assuming reasonbly routine
maintenance?
Was this engine subject to the recall on the intake manifold and is there
anyway to tell if the recall work was done? The manifold still appears to
be plastic or polycarbonite or whatever that material is.
TIA!!!

Last week I just became aware of the "buzz" on the net about 1~3 oz. of
acetone per 10 gal. of gas.
Because my Google searches did not show any documented damage from this
experiment (just lots of fears … 2 mechanic friends I asked said they
wouldn’t try it) … anyway I decided to try it in my 2002 Taurus SEL
wagon.
It didn’t make intuitive sense to me that a 1/640 or 1/1280 dilution of
acetone would present much in the way of attacking the rubber and plastic
components … I had not come across any posting by anybody saying that had
happened to them …
Anyway, I have a running fuel log for the past few months for comparison
purposes. Based on my highway trip (approx. 400 km.) last weekend, running
on approx. 1 1/4 oz. acetone per 10 gal. gasoline, upon topping up my fuel
tank when I got back, I saw that I had achieved approx. 14% increase over
other typical highways trips I’ve documented.
Just wondered what others here think of my findings … and the whole idea
in general …

My daughter’s Taurus problem is that when she drives her car, turns it off
to run in somewhere fast and comes back out to restart her car, it wont
start for at least 10 min. Also now, when it does start at times when she
starts to pull away it dies, just wondering if anyone might know what
problem could be, she has had a mechanic put it on a machine and cannot
find problem.
Thanks
I have a 95 astro and the temp gauge fluxuates from cold to hot and then back again any idea what the problem may be
