SC has one of the Nation's most comprehensive motor oil recycling programs. It began in 1990 and since then SC has set up 800 locations and collected approx. 15 million gallons of motor oil from do-it- yourself residents, according to SC DEHEC.
When banks reposes cars they hire private companies to auction these cars (so they can recoup at least some of their money). These companies can be found with a little research (try typing auto auction in your favorite search engine). I found a company two hours away that holds weekly auctions every Saturday. 24 hour advance auto parts near me is well organized and beginning on Mondays you can see an upcoming list of all vehicles for sale, along with pictures and relevant information like year and mileage. There are a wide variety of vehicles from old to new (we once saw a brand new souped up H3). This particular company also incorporates monthly auctions for seized items from the US Marshall's which can include motorcycles, motorhomes, and boats.
If you are noticing boost pressure spikes over 20psi (upto 25psi is not uncommon), fit a boost limiting device such as a dawes valve. These can be set so that the turbo can't boost over say 18psi...... This is a bandaid not a cure, as their will be other issues causing the overboosting.
When you are at the auto store near me, a spark plug wire puller and a spark plug gaper is needed. Although the gap is already set on new plugs but it would be better to check it. The wire puller helps in saving the wires from getting pulled apart.
You should also check the turn signals of your vehicle. Make sure that they work just right. Check the signals if they respond to your directions. Also do check both front and rear signals as well as check the lenses if there are signs of damage or aging.
According to the Department of Energy, you can increase your fuel economy by about 3.3 percent if you keep your tires inflated properly. If you have to use snow tires in the winter or deep tread tires for off road, take them off and replace with a regular tire if you are not going to use them for any length of time. These types of tires can cost you up to 4% of your fuel efficiency.
Before screwing the new plugs back into your car ensure that they are properly gapped. This means using a spark plug gap gage, which you can get from any auto parts near me for less then a dollar. Slide the gapper into the gap and turn it till it's tight. This is your current gap, the owners manual should tell you what gap your plugs should be at. Continue turning the gapper until the reading matches your manual.
Wet a second rag with the denatured alcohol and go over the area where the adhesive was placed to remove any residue of the adhesive remaining from the scraping.
You should buy an air pressure gauge. Spend a few dollars and pick one up at your local auto parts store near me or in the automotive section of a department store. Most gas stations and all tire dealers have one that they might let you borrow.
Next morning, no start. I then stripped the wire, and connected it to the battery terminal; jump started the car, and presto!! The digital volt indicator went up above normal line, and was putting out 14..... I went immediately over to my local mechanic to check the charging system...Showed 14...PROBLEM SOLVED....NOT SO FAST.
