Are you getting fuel? Almost sounds like a washed down cylinder.

Spent the morning reattaching Blue Steel’s AC condenser to the radiator. I got everything buttoned up, and then got an odd-sounding crank, no start. I tried a new battery and fuel pump relay, but it only cranked and sputtered before stalling. We were planning a trip to Pennsylvania and DC for sprin...

The dashboard kickpanel of my 1998 Volvo V70 I has a broken tab where it should be held in place by a screw under the steering wheel. While the previous owner "fixed" that by screwing a drywall screw into the side of the kickpanel, I preferred a more lasting repair... PXL_20240325_21572215...

Both door marker lights in my V70 I were broken (well, one was missing entirely), so I bought two new used ones (very inexpensively) which are not broken..

Somewhere on the webs is a fully loaded 747 rejecting a takeoff at v1 and only using brakes to stop. To pass the FARS you aren’t allowed a brake fire for at least one minute , but all the tires lost their melt plugs and deflated slowly. We weren’t that close to V1 and had full reverse thrust of cour...

Should I simply aim to replace everything, or are there parts I should inspect and test first? If it's just low on 134, put in a can with the dye pack and check for leaks at all the o-ring spots. If you have access to a sniffer, or one of the parts places has a loaner, that can be instructional too...
