Well, TxGreaseMonkey has done it again! I filled up with 93 octane fuel and no more noise! Just one day of driving, but I'm sure I would have heard at least a bit (I have nothing else to listen to...

Thanks to Texas Grease Monkey for all prior help and, most likely with this problem. I have a 95 civic 1.5L SOHC that has a fluttering noise (that I think could be coming from the valves or pistons...

OK, I already took it to a gas station mechanic and a honda dealership. The dealership said that the noise is loudest from the compressor, that is why I assumed, for now, that it is something to do...

Thank you in advance to anyone that may be able to help me out with either or both of these problems.
1. There is a grinding noise at all times during idle and cruising that gets even worse when...

Well I've managed to clean out the carb and set the air vane properly and the needle idle. I still only once in a while get a start that will last and now does not shut off if I play with the...

So I adopted an L series Lawnboy self propelled model and it won't start. New spark plug and it is getting a spark. I cleaned out the carburetor, but it was already looking pretty good. I wasn't...

OK, so I had an A/C service guy come out (same guy who fixed my leak last year) and after trying to put some freon into the system, realized that the pressure did not go up. Airflow was good in the...

I couldn't find any other websites that sold anything but Goodman and maybe a Ruud every once in a while. What websites are you talking about? Or are you contacting the manufacturer?
Thanks
Steve

Hi again everyone. I found a couple of online sites that offer do it yourselfers the opportunity to install a complete a/c unit. The brand that is offered on these sites is Goodman. I have redone...

Hi all. I'm looking into buying a 92 integra that is advertised as having a bad compression in cylinder #3 as diagnosed by Valvoline (I personally don't trust them because of a scam they ran with my...

Thanks for the input so far. A new piece of info is that he recalls someone telling him that the evap core was bad and was going to be expensive because of it's location behind the dashboard or...

A friend of mine has a dodge ram truck and his a/c is not working. Just warm/hot air comes out. I looked under the hood and see that the compressor activates for about a second and then shuts off...

Thanks for all the replies. Yes there is icy frost buildup on the lower copper loops that enter the evaporator inside the home. No frosty lines outside. Both lines feel the same actually. So here...

OK before I go testing the contactor I want to update some other findings. I opened up the coil box over the furnace and the lower coils are frosty and frozen while the upper ones are room...

I keep hearing about checking and sometimes replacing the contactors, but don't know where that is. Is that the thing on the wall next to the condenser outside?that has a pull out fuse disconnect? ...

Hi I have an Amana system that is maybe 15 years old. I can find out if anyone needs to know but I'm at work now so that will have to wait. Anyway, I have noticed that the cold air is not so cold...

This won't potentially break off a tooth on the flywheel? They say that the crankshaft pulley bolt requires around 180ft-lb torque! Thanks once again for the quick reply!
Regards,
Steve

Well, I've decided to do a major service by myself and in my research, I found that the crankshaft pulley is a very difficult thing to remove. This is for a 95 civic DX SOHC. Napa autoparts does not...

OK so I did the lock to lock and everything is smoother, but now, sometimes, I hear a cracking sound when I am turning my wheel and only, I think, in left turns. Not always. Is this pointing to the...

Well thanks again. The problem started a day or so AFTER flushing the power steering so everything makes sense. I got my wife to turn the wheel from left to right all th eway a few times, but I...

Well I did use two good doses of WD40 to get the bolt loose on the old sensor, but I was careful as to not have any of that go into the manifold when I pulled the old one out and put the new one in. ...

I just posted an O2 sensor problem and now this. So, on my 95 honda civic with power steering, sometimes when I turn a corner to the right, I feel smoothness and then all of a sudden the steering...

So I managed to change the O2 sensor on my 1995 civic (major pain in the rear without the O2 sensor socket) with a Bosch model for my car. Ever since I did (this past weekend) I have noticed poor...

Hello all,
I call this thread the speed bump because when I dug out my basement floor to replace an upstream section of cast iron pipe with new pvc pipe for a bathroom and to move my stack, the...

Thank you guys. To clarify for bhayne, I wired up the GFCI receptacle first then used the load terminals off the GFCI receptacle to power and GFCI protect the light switch AND fan switch through...

Hello,
I just wired up my basement bathroom and was wondering if what I did was against some kind of code. I wired it for one GFCI outlet next to the sink. This outlet is the bottom half of one...

Thank you very much yet again!

This website has been so awesome in answering all my questions! I have just one more, hopefully my last. I don't know if this would make any difference but my gut says it might. Here goes. I have...

Hi, I posted a while back about doing a basement bathroom and am about to start the project. I was wondering if there is a rule or code that requires the 4"PVC stack to extend all the way to the...

He said not when it was new. It is around 8 years old and he can't remember when it started cause he's gotten used to it. The other thing I noticed is that it cuts off if I put it on slow. I have...

The Lawnboy model is 10323 and the engine says Duraforce. SilverPro series. 6.5Hp. 2cycle engine. I found some links around the web saying things like the gas may be stale, the gas vent cap is...

Hi, just wondering if there is a minimum or maximum height for the main lug only box when surface mounted on a wall in a detached garage? I am running 40amps, 240V service underground to the garage....

Hi, I have a lawnboy proline lawnmower 6.5hp and a few seconds after starting the mower, the engine goes up and down and I am doing nothing to it. My friend just gave it to me for free as he was...

Hi, I just ran across another problem. I will be running 40 amps 240 volts out to my garage via underground 8-3 plus ground. Do I need a grounding rod at the garage or is the ground via the service...

Thanks a lot tkrussel! That's a cheaper solution than the panel I bought!

Hi, I am running 8-3 underground in pvc conduit and am wondering:
1. How high up the garage wall I should come up before entering the garage (I guess this means how high the panel will be on the...

You're the best Tom, thanks again!

Hi Tom,
Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the quick reply! The 1.5 bath has already been finished prior to my arrival and is vented and dumps into the 3" pvc shown in the diagram, which...

Hi everyone,
I was looking around on the forums and am still not sure about a couple of things. I was planning on adding a basement bathroom and relocating my current 4" stack from 4 feet away...
