Answer to:
Have 2003 S-10 ext cab that I bought last week.
I have discovered a problem with the A/C-Heater system and need help. The floor vents which you would normally use with the heater are stuck open to outside "fresh air" air flow. How to fix this?
The doors on your vents are not functioning properly. If you have some kind of warranty on this '03 vehicle, let them fix it. Otherwise, you need to remove panels to see why the doors aren't opening properly. Possibly a problem with the heater controller that you use to select a function.

Where do each of the spark plugs go in a 1981 pontiac grand prix?
Your vehicle probably has a 305 c.i. v-8 engine & the installed plugs are 4 on each side of the engine in the side of the cylinder heads. Follow the end of the spark plug wires from the ignition coil & remove the spark plug boot one at a time as to not mix the wires when replacing the plugs.

Can you bypass power window switches on a 03 gp to not only get the windows all back up, but test the switches at the same time?
You can feed power to the load side of the switch to get the window up with a jumper wire. You can feed power to the line side to test it. However, you need a ground connection to the motor which may be your problem. A common problem on any car is broken wires where the door opens & closes.

What would it take to convert my 2000 Ford F150xlt toa 4wheel drive?
You would mostly need a different transmission, a transfer case & a differential on the steer axle. However, the 4x4 model probably has a sturdier frame & so it wouldn't be worth the money for a conversion when you can buy this exact truck for 8,000 or less. I know because I did.

Haven't there been loads more better things since they invented sliced bread. The computer for example. Why is everything the best since sliced bread. It's not that good. it's only a cut loaf.
I liked when they invented a mix of jam & peanut butter in the same jar but I guess the people at Smuckers didn't like that so they got rid of it. so I guess we still have to compare things to the sliced bread still...

What would cause a petrol car to smoke and leak petrol from exhaust pipe
I'm in agreeance with the previous answer in that is it possible for petro( I'm guessing a Britih term for a Canadian "Gasser" engine) which is a flammable substance to get past an internal combustion and out the exhaust valves. If however gasoline was being atomized & being dispersed into a particular cylinder that wasn't firing, then it is possible.

I bought a 97 chevy s10 blazer a few months ago. I'm changing the oil for the 1st time. I pulled the oil drain plug and only a few drops of oil came out, the dipstick says full. I know it's got to be the oil drain plug, any ideas?
Remove the only drain plug installed on that type of vehicle on the oil pan on the underside of the engine block- most commonly a 5/8" socket will do. Probe into drain hole using a screwdriver to unplug any sludge & then flush once or twice until clean. Oil change interval should be no more than 5000 km. If after clearing drain hole & no more oil ever comes out than a few drops......

I am considering buying a '95 S-10. It has 84,000 miles. What are some common problems with these trucks, because I need to see whether or not it will be worth my buying it. How long do these trucks usually last?
I would obviously inspect the engine & drive train especially for the 4x4 models. But mostly what the concern would be the body panels & floor boards for rust although there are alot of parts avail for this.

I have a mini cooper and the tire size is 175/65r15. the tire shop does not have this size but they have 185/65r/15. can I put theese on my my mini without changing rims or hurting the car?
The tires would fit the rims but as I have noticed on a previous vehicle, the inner sidewall would sometimes rub on the strut tower when turning sharp & possibly stressing the front suspension when going over a bump. You should refer to the owners manual & possibly trying an alternate tire facility. I wouldn't assume there would be alot of interference room in thr wheelwell of a...

Why won't a 1999 pontiac 3.1 liter engine run when hot on occasion?
You may get a lot of guessing answers for this question but logically what should be done is to read any codes. This should be done when the vehicle has the ocurring problem & is accessed via the A & B terminals @ the diagnostic connector.

Answer to:
Were any cars that were first designed with on-board computers susceptible to damage from a jump start. I understand newer cars have protective resistors and electric shields to prevent frying the circuitry.
You shouldn't really jumpstart vehicle to vehicle especially from one battery to another. However to get one out of the woods you should at least turn on the park lights to absorb any sort of voltage spiking when doing this...

On my 96 cougar, the intake manifold has a crack in it (around the thermostat lip). Is there any way to repair the manifold? (its made of composite plastic)
never heard of a plastic intake manifold as an inetrnal combustion engine would produce too much heat @this area- what would henry ford be thinking? If it is so a repair would probably resurface from engine & road vibration- check with a local boneyard !

Do you believe it is unpatriotic to buy foreign-made cars?
After reading the other answers it is clear to see that most people believe that an American made car is not foreign which it clearly is. The Canadian automotive sector produces American vehicles & vehicles from asia. We also produce products for vehiles from europe. Very few vehicles like the Brooklyn which was Canadian designed, owned & produced all in Canada can really be considered...

Anyone around here from New York? I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and am planning to move there. How does everyone get started out and how is the lifestyle?
I just moved here from southern Ontario & used to date a girl from Buffalo, New York, U.S.A.

It would be similar to Canada where you would need a social security # ( like a SIN) to legally work there. you would also need to change your licence & bank...
