Car TalkRe: Why Do Women Drive With The Steering Close To Their Chest by Mcdonelldouglas(m): 5:21pm On Feb 03, 2015
Thats because they are so afraid of a car they think they are flying a jumbo jet carrying 400+ passengers.
Car TalkRe: Need Advice On A Getting Either A Tokunbo Or Naija Used Ride by Mcdonelldouglas(m): 5:11pm On Feb 03, 2015
Personally i will not buy a nigerian used car whose thermostat has been removed, and cooling fan rewired to run at full speed. If those are intact, and the car looks neat overall, no rattling sounds when you drive or start the car. Watch out for auto transmission issues too. Infact run from Nigerian used cars. Goodluck.

Siena:
[color=Blue]With what you have posted in terms of symptoms Douglas, I would be looking a scan. You could have a bad coolant temperature sensor. I can't remember if the early SPI engines run a MAF, I reckon no.

It does sound like it's over fuelling though. Is your exhaust tailpipe blacker than usual, and has your gas mileage gotten worse?

Please get a scan done, and post the results here.[/color]
. Never mind Siena. I have changed the coolant temp sensor before. At that time the car produced black smoke and did'nt start when hot, and the engine revved very hard on its own as though someone was revving it. There is nothing really wrong with the car, i just wished i could go past 140km/h with it. I will manage the 120 or sometimes 140km/h. I must commend you for your incredible knowledge of autos and how kind and thoughtful it is of you to take your time to share and help out your fellow Nigerian's. Thank you so much. Kind regards.
Car TalkRe: What's Your Opinion On Jumping Gear 4( Manual Drivers Only) by Mcdonelldouglas(m):
Its called block shifting, its perfectly ok as long as you don't lugg the engine. You can block shift after revving very hard, say 3000 rpm upwards.

Because their designs are as ugly as volvo cars.
Car TalkRe: My '08 Honda Accord Makes Grinding Sound At Cold Start by Mcdonelldouglas(m): 9:11am On Feb 03, 2015
That honda year and model has a manufacturing flaw. If your engine uses oil then it should be a low oil level.
Car TalkRe: The Audi And Volkswagen Issues Resolution Thread by Mcdonelldouglas(m): 8:33am On Feb 03, 2015
The car has a 5 speed manual transmission.
Car TalkRe: The Audi And Volkswagen Issues Resolution Thread by Mcdonelldouglas(m):
Thank you sir for your speedy response. There is no light illuminating on the dash. I just have a feeling the car has lost some of its power over the years. Besides that, sometimes the car accelerates so well you can harldy believe it houses a 1.8 litre engine, and sometimes acceleration is sluggish especially after the car warms up. Its fun to drive sometimes and sometimes not. It does'nt deliver power readily all the time, and it doesnt burn oil. No black smoke, no misfire. I don't just understand the car.

Dear Siena, my vw vento 1.8 SPI 1992 will not go past 140km/h. It mostly maxes out at 120km/h and seldom reaches 140km/h. Thanks in anticipation.

Free thinking is the way. All religions of the world are big jokes, but islam is a dangerous one. Stay safe.
Car TalkRe: BMW Owners' Forum by Mcdonelldouglas(m): 10:11am On Jan 25, 2015
Am loving the e46 330i, and i hear it has cooling system issues. Does anyone here know if cooling system components from a previous or consequent 3 sereis model can fit the e46 m54 engine.
Car TalkRe: Will You Buy A Car That Uses Water As Fuel If It Is Made? by Mcdonelldouglas(op): 9:54am On Jan 25, 2015
Its quite a simple concept. The ansewer to the worlds biggest problems are very simple. No complications can arise as long as the natural laws of science hold. Tnks.
tolutweety:
I quite agree with you but I want to believe they (the team) already made provisions for that.
I'ld particularly love the op to say something on that. @mcdonelldouglas

Thank you all for your comments. The big oil producing countries and companies happen to be the biggest concern. I guess saving the world with a hidden identity from a few selfish people is worth it. I assure you all its very possible and it is the way to the future. Thank you once again.

Two Nigerian students have come up with a design for a car that runs on water. Before we raise funds to make a prototype, we would like to know if we have your patronage. Before you tell us how impossible it is, kindly answer the question. Thank you.
