i have an AT. and i do hear a click sound everytime i turn the key so i really don't know what's going on!!!

ok, update if anyone can help me out i'd be much indebted. i took my car in and got a new starter. then i got a new battery (costco picked up the tab) and its still happening. i don't get it. every once in a while i'll turn the key to start it and nothing. all i hear is a click coming from the engin...

hi. my 90 legacy does this weird thing and its random and so i don't know whats wrong with it. sometimes i'll try and start my car and all i'll hear is a click. i don't know if there is something wrong with the starter or battery or what not. either way, i took it into the shop and they replaced the...

yeah, california and our strict laws...... tell me about it...

so i had to get a smog check and it failed because apparently the check engine light doesn't come on. they said most likely the bulb was burnt out. so two questions: what kind of bulb and anyone know how to get behind the gauges so replace the light bulb? thanks!!

120mph down the freeway.

...hey, i was late for a hot date.

193,000 miles

hello, i don't wanna sound stupid but can someone help me with recharging the AC. its a bit weak and the manual doesn't offer any help. i bought one of those cans with the gague and the tubing but i don't know what port to attach it to. any help would be nice. thanks!!!

ya know what, sometimes when i start my car up the power light flashes 16 times. i see no codes for 16 times. anyone knows whats up?

and also, what kind of power steering fluid does a 90 legacy use. the cap says use atf dexron. does it matter what kind?

i get around 19-20 mpg and i drive mainly on mountain roads. is this the norm? how do i know if changing my oxygen sensor will improve gas mileage?

so i have a question. what can i do to get more miles per gallon out of my legacy? i've got stock everything and a few things have been replaced like alternator, starter, water pump (i don't think these affect fuel economy). i did get new spark plugs a few months ago and an air filter. what do oxgyg...

hey, i remember looking on this site somewhere and it said something about certain legacys had some sort of a transmission filter next to the power steering and there were some pictures and such. can anyone give me the link. and also, how do i get to the part of the site that has all the info and no...

skid, no i can't tell if the clicking is coming from the top or bottom and it doesn't pull. the car kinda really really slowly pulls right but i think thats due to the slight un-alignment of the car and thats been there for a long time. i'll try and do what you told me with shaking the spring when i...

its a single clink as you said skid. if i turn the wheel more than say 1/4th of the way (90 degrees) it'll click when i straighten it out. so is this something that needs to be checked right away or can it wait a month and a half till i'm done with this quarter at college?

alright, i'll look into this. is this something thats a major problem though?

dude, i am car illerate. all i know how to do is check stuff and change oil and rotate tires. what does all that stuff you just told me mean and how do i get it fixed? thanks

so are there any types or brands of headlights that are better and brighter than regular ones? i don't want xenon lights but i don't want the yellowish lights either

hey, i got a question. i've noticed lately (since i moved and drive on mountain roads a lot now) that when i turn right as the road curves and as i straighten it as the road does, i hear a single tick or click coming from the left side of my car. it seems to be coming from where the pillar is but th...

Hi guys. I was wondering, why sometimes after i've been driving, i'll turn my car off and i'll notice some smoke coming from the engine. i don't know where it comes from or why. i do check all the oils and fluids and they're all fine. its been going on for a while now and i dunno why. sometimes my c...

yeah, i checked the brake lights are fine.

its weird. after driving for an hour or so the light that says "stop lamp" on my car will come on if i step on the brake. if i step on it again it'll go off. then on again if i brake and so forth. if i turn on my lights when driving (not stepping on brakes) if i step on the brake it'll go ...

hello. i was driving home today and once i was in my garage i shifted from Drive to neutral to reverse then to park. right as i shifted into a gear i heard a sort of clicking or poping sound coming from somewhere behind the glove compartment. its not the usual sound you get when you step on the brak...

door handle. so i broke my door handle. well, not really. i broke the little plastic piece that holds the screw that brings the handle to the actually door. anyone know where i can get another one. i'd post a picture but i dunno how to. thanks

jessica simpson is pretty damn hot. so i just squirt simple green everywhere on the engine? i don't need to rinse it off or anything like that?

so umm.. .i'm going to a new college in the fall and the road to and from there is crazy mountain road. i love driving my car to and from there. but i was wondering how i could get better lights out of the headlights. ya'll think i should just replace the stock bulbs with halogen or do what to it? t...
