So...confessing the obvious here, but I'm an idiot and did not realize that just because the *inside* door handle was detached, did not mean the *outside* one would not work. So I have successfully now walked around the car and opened it from the outside. Thanks for your patience, y'all. Trust me, ...

My check engine light has been on for a while. Took it to AutoZone to have the codes read: "Cannot establish a connection with the car". Tried three computer code readers, same error. Guy told me it might be a bad ground. I cleaned off three grounds I could find in the engine, as well as ...

Total system capacity is 200ml You always put at least 70 mL into the compressor The system should be flushed with 200g R134A if open for more than 24 hou...

I've gone through four or five different brands of 5w40 in my car the last three years (70000 km with 10000 km intervals) and I've noticed absolutely no difference between them.
