Used Auto Parts Ohio

Q.I have a problem with the fuel injector on my 88 chevrolet pickup with 350 engine. At time it runs fine then there are times it seems as if it's running on four cylinders. Checked the throttlebody when it's running rough and only one injector will be spraying fuel into the engine. Had it cleaned,no change.Also while it's running rough if I can get up to a speed of about 45 or 50 mph. sometimes it will smooth out and sometimes it won't. There are times when I have to pour fuel into the throttlebody to get the engine to start.Whats possiblely that could be causing this problem?

A.From your attitude and the fact you feel the need to brag about your certs. I would guess your the type of guy who if your MT2500 can't find the issue For You, your running for the books. When the books don't give you the answer you start getting nervous. You overlook the simple and start breaking out every diagnostic tool you own. Then when you still can't find the issue you start verbally berating your self. I know ASE Master Techs like that. Not that they do bad work, but a intermittent or odd ball issue will drive them up the wall. Why didn't I ever get my Certs? Because to me Repair is a side line. My main focus is building Hot Rods/Street Rods, Off Highway Trucks, Competition Vehicles, and Restorations. My other Side Line, which I do Advertise is Used Parts. I don't Advertise for Repair Services. Yet people who have known me, or know about me call me and ASK me to do their repairs. I got in to Repairs for Used Car Dealerships for the quick cash & to get a way to go to Dealer Only Auctions. I got in to fleet services for the same reason. During the slow season it's easy money. So Ill be the first to admit, Im not the End All Be All Repair Tech. Yet anymore I end up doing everything from Heavy & Light line repairs, to body work, to supplying competition & Derby cars, to over all rebuilds of off road trucks. Here the Envirotest ran IM-240 emissions testing is going away at 01/01/2006. Only 4 or 5 counties in Ohio will Retain it. So Im sure my emissions work will drop to Nil. No word from the state as to any sort of replacement for emissions testing. Charles Back to work. I have to get my 58 Rambler Super ready for it's new owner to get, and R&R a th700R4 out of a Astro

Frugal Luxury car?

I need to buy a new car because my place of employment is now 45 min away. My 85 GMC did trick when I only had to drive 10 min to work and the full size long bed truck will no longer do the trick in San Diego traffic. I would get another 4x4 a...

Used Car Auctions???

I have the opportunity to buy a used car at a dealer auction free of comission or extra charges. The main advantage would seem to be getting a very good price (dealer cost), with disadvantages being 1) no true opportunity to test drive the car...

Selling a used car, how do I avoid scams?

I've gotten a couple of responses but they sound fishy to me. In both cases the buyer is out of state and wants to arrange to have the car shipped, that just doesn't sound right. It's a 94 Concorde with 128K miles on it, it's not a hard to ge...
