Re: Engine hesitation

I failed to give the filters much consideration... You can easily swap them out. Sure, I can give that a go. The advice is greatly appreciated.

Engine hesitation

My 1991 300e 4matic is experiencing a problem with the m103 sputtering and then turning off when I accelerate. I have driven less than a mile from the house on three separate occasions. After the first five to ten minutes, the engine starts to sputter and shut off, even though the gearbox shifts ...

Re: Increased Oil Use Following Liqui Moly

After running your finger around the tailpipes, how dirty is it? Normal is ashy soot, bad is oily residue. Take a look at the plugs by pulling them out. The increase in oil consumption was caused, according to Rube Goldberg, by deposits clogging the tiny valve cover breather passages after LM ...

Re: Problem with shifting from forward to reverse: engine stalls.

My 5.8L's T.PS. is located, as far as I can tell, beneath the throttle body.

Re: Problem with shifting from forward to reverse: engine stalls.

Let me look into this. I can start without pressing the brake pedal, but I must do so in order to release the vehicle from park. I usually step on the brakes when shifting, but you can shift from forward to reverse without touching the brake pedal.
Occasionally, when I shift, I don't experience this ...

Problem with shifting from forward to reverse: engine stalls.

I own a 1995 Ford F-150 shortbed with a 5.8L engine and four wheel drive.
Changing gears from forward to reverse causes the engine to stall, and vice versa.
After it stalls, it will start up immediately.
There are no codes to check because this is pre-OBD 11.
Any suggestions as to what could be ...

What it's like to upgrade Bose audio

I've had my '98 for five years, and the most annoying thing about it is the outdated sound system. You can get SiriusXM and Bluetooth in my other vehicle. I used to be worried that getting a new audio might lower the car's resale value, but now I don't really care.
Have you have any stories to tell ...

Re: Anyone heard or dealt with Allarris Express? Looking for honest feedback

I checked their website and it looks legitimate and professionally built, but online vehicle deals always carry some risk. That said the fact they offer a proper agreement, invoice, and inspection period is more reassuring than most sellers on Marketplace
