Hi ODOC'ers,

I discovered that my drivers' side windshield wiper does not function. It "twitches" and the arm sits very low on the windshield. The passenger side works fine and sprays washer...

Canadian Tire has BKF cans on sale for $2 in their spring sale. I believe it goes for 2 weeks. Stock up if you need some!

Hi,

If I wanted to check the electrical connection of the sender switch, where is it located on the drivers side of the engine? Photos would be appreciated. I know it is not the same as the oil...

the pressure goes to zero when at a stop then rises as I accelerate.

Hi Felix29,

I just went through this nightmare myself...I feel your pain.

Get the car up on a hoist and check the condition of all of the hose clamps and hoses. If any of the hoses are...

Hi guys,

I noticed last night on the drive home that my oil light would flicker on and off intermittently as I was sitting at red lights. As I gave the car gas, it would shut off and if the car...

I can say that...
