Chevrolet - 1500 :: 1997 - Code P0303 / Misfire On Cylinder 3

1997 chevy k1500 ... I have a misfire on cylinder 3 that i cannot figure out the cause. The idle is rough, backing out after starting is very rough, it seems to pick up at higher rpms but once the truck upshifrts to the next gear it shakes like a leaf in fall. within the past year the engine was rebuilt all new seals a new fuel pump, new injectors, new everything practically. so far i have done the following:

compression test results:125-130psi
fuel pressure test results: 50psi once primed, 50psi with engine running, no immediate pressure loss after engine is shut off
new spark plug wires
new spark plugs
replaced all four o2 sensors

Volvo - S80 :: 2002 - Instrument Cluster Went Out

This has been a wonderful car to say the least. Has about 150K on it and it drives like a champ. Recently the instrument cluster went out, sometimes it will randomly work but 9/10 times it's off. When I used it to jump start another car the instrument cluster began working almost instantly, although this was only temporary. When the temperatures are low as they are on the northern east-coast right now around 30º and lower (shivers) it will work. Why is this? does anything to do with the battery having to work harder?

Suspension - Nissan - Sentra :: 2012 - Making Clunking Noise While Turning Wheels Or Parking?

I have 2012 sentra with CVT transmission & 60,000 miles. I just got 60,000 miles service done. Service adviser called me to let me know that I need to have replaced upper strut bearing on the front (left & right) replaced because they are making clunking noise when turn wheels or parking. When I asked for the reason why they should go bed he told me that it's normal, some sand other debris could clog there or water could have damaged it.

Smart - Fortwo :: Dust Coming Off The Front Disc Brakes / Front Wheels Look Filthy

I really enjoy my 2009 Smart car, excellent gas mileage, fun to drive too. The only drawback is all the dust coming off the front disc brakes that makes my front wheels look filthy even when the rest of the car is clean. Are there other brake pads that work as good as the factory originals yet don't give off so much dust?

Oldsmobile - Engines - Cutlass :: 1990 Quit Running At A Stoplight Or At Any Idle Speed / Hard To Restart

A friend has a '90 olds Ciera with the 3800 engine. The engine will quit running at a stoplight or almost any idle speed and then will be hard to start. May have to wait a few minutes before it restarts.

Toyota - Highlander :: Open Windows With Key Fob - Button Press Sequence

I'm wondering if my 2010 Toyota Highlander has a feature that my old Lexus and my old Infiniti had.

When you pressed and held the "unlock" button, it would first unlock the door and then it would start rolling down the windows and sunroof - an excellent feature in hot, humid Florida.

I called the Toyota dealership where I bought my Highlander and they told me 1) they didn't know, and 2) I could bring it in and they could hook in to the computer (at their hourly rate) and let me know. In other words, I can pay them to find out what their technicians should already know about the vehicle.

On my Lexus and Infinifi, it was set by a key fob button press sequence so I was hoping that 1) the feature deos exist, and 2) it's an easy and free setting change.

Chevrolet - Suburban :: 2004 Not Able To Access Last 1/4 Tank Of Fuel

I have a 2004 suburban with approximately 125k miles on it, it is nominally my wife's car.

Recently it seems to not be able to access the last 1/4 tank of fuel. A couple of weeks ago my wife (who likes to run it down to the dregs) got it sub 1/4 tank, and it cranked but didn't start...put in 2 gallons from a can, started right up...took it to a gas station, filled it up (less the approximate 1/4 tank of fuel).

So, fuel pump? Pickup clogged? If so, what does it take to replace/repair...
