The Do It Yourself Car Tune Up
When the battery in your car dies, it can be a rather surreal experience because you may be in a place that you are not familiar with and you may be out of reach of someone who can come and pick you up. It is rather dangerous to ask strangers if they have jumper cables. Sometimes you can walk into a business and ask them if any of their employees can give you a hand, but there are many times the employees may not have jumper cables or you may not even be in the vicinity of a business. This is where the wireless phone comes in.
Then there's the case of actually buying the replacement headlights. You can look at an auto parts near me or another store that sells auto accessories, but unfortunately they often have the downside of jacking up the prices. In this economy, the last thing that you need is a price that could be lower but isn't. Which is why you can look online and find better prices. Make sure that if you do that you take the time to look over the site and figure out what their reputation is and to use that to make a decision as to if you should order from that particular site or not.
This is what many fail to understand that is costing them a lot of their time and money. Let's say you're having problems with your power steering in your car and so you go to the auto parts store near me and purchase brakes. Will your power steering now all of a sudden work once you put those new brakes on? Probably not.
Your rear view mirror falls off. Go down to the auto store near me and get that handy little kit they sell for exactly this reason. You can have that mirror back in place with in about 15 minutes. the kit contains a tiny piece of sandpaper, a primer/cleaner to remove residue from the windshield and mounting button and a glass tube containing an adhesive. Just follow the instructions.
If you are having running problems and the spark and compression check out OK then its fuel. Either too rich or gasoline has gone to gel and plugged up the jets in the carburetor or in some cases too lean. Motorcycle carburetors have two kinds of jets which are simple brass plugs with a metered hole in them to allow for fuel flow. You can remove the carburetors and remove the jets(one main jet and one pilot jet) and clean them. Take care not to gouge the soft brass and use a small piece of copper wire to poke out the gelled gasoline using carburetor cleaner or B-12 Chem Tool.
On closest automotive store to my location , trapped air can cause the car to overheat. Some Chrysler products and other types of cars have bleed valves on the cover for the thermostat or somewhere nearby. It is a simple process to loosen the valve and bleed the air until coolant flows out. Re-tighten the valve to close the system and you are finished. Most of the time this needs to be done after you have completed other work on the cooling system and allowed air into it.
