    IAC replacement???

    i would also check ur plug wires and make sure they r all snapped on tightly. i have a mustang that threw a plug wire off all the time. have u took a good look underneath? might not hurt.

    Ny V8 is leaking gas - can you tell what this part is?

    did u put ur plugs back on in the right order? maybe u got the wrong plugs? its hard to say but it seems like either something u did while changing the plugs and wires or u got faulty plugs or wires straight from the factory which it does happen. i would return them all and getdifferent ones.

    blue RTV or gasket??

    just curious as to who prefer gaskets to blue RTV. they both have their benefits and their flaws. just curious as to what people think of each or past experiences with either or.

    Low brake fluid

    i would start it up and have someone hold the pedal to the floor and press as hard as they can as u inspect to see if there is a small leak. small leaks turn to big ones quick!

    Ny V8 is leaking gas - can you tell what this part is?

    sounds more like water in ur gas and the water is not being burned (obviously) and exits via tailpipe. ive never seen straight gas come through an exhaust.

    IAC replacement???

    what kind of rough idle is it? persistant miss? unsteady idling? knocking? i would check the basics, like the filter, plugs and wires, check oil too.

    Hub or Brake squeal

    either way ur best bet is to just jack up the front end and wiggle ur tires, if they wiggle then its ur bearing, if they dont wiggle removee the tire and u can easily see if u need new pads. u just wont know until u look at it

    Hub or Brake squeal

    if ur pads r worn then the sound will get worse as the brakes r applied. thats common sense to me. gotta be the bearing

    gonna change trans filter, any advice??

    i thought i would need more than just one quart. it was just an extra that i had got a while ago. as for my gasket, the filter i bought came with a gasket, i was just wondering if people prefer the blue rtv over the gasket. i never used rtv on a trans pan. only small things like thermostats and...

    Hub or Brake squeal

    i wouldnt be surprised if its ur wheel bearing. ur hub just holds everything together and a squeal would either be the bearing or the brake pads. but when u say it goes away when u hit the brakes then it doesnt sound like brake pads to me. i would jack it up, and wiggle the tire to see if there...
