  2. ok let me know lay this out the best i can.i go to new york every weekend friday through tuesday.my car sits in a bus station park and ride for those days.when i come back tuesday evening.my car hesitates to start,when it does.i put the car in drive and start to move in which she hesitates and does not accelerate normally when i hit the gas.its running but doesnt accelerate with any powe.rthis last time i was blowing smoke out of the exhaust.after about 3-5 minutes round the parking lot it starts to drive again back to normal.if i drive the car everyday this doesnt happen its only when i leave the car for a few days sitting.anyone have any suggestions or experience with this problem?any and all help is much appreciated thank you
  3. hi i have a question/problem for the experts.i was taking my tire off of my 93 es300 to change and i noticed the bottom of my strut tower is really close to the top of my tire.ive had metal adjustable spacers inside the coil since i bought it from the owner he had them on there i have no idea why.they were close to the bottom of the coil so i spun them higher up to like the 3rd or 4th ring of the spring.hoping maybe it will put the pressureon the top and then the bottom will compress more so it wont be so close to the tire.has anyone had this happen with the strut tower being so close to the tire??does anyone have any advice??im afraid of this problem thanx

  18. i went to autozone for the muffler tape and couldnt find it.i found an epoxy type product in a tube.says to slap it on let sit 2-4 hours and it suppose to seal up the holes.
  19. the hole is on the muffler pipe that goes into the gasket that connects to the long resonator pipe i believe.so its in a bad spot.i dont think they can cut that out and weld it.
