Wiper blades not moving, electric windows not moving Well done - extra kudos if you take a picture and / or provide a part number for the person searching for the exact same thing in the future.... |

Ignition key sticking - key problem or lock problem? A picture (even after the fix) would be helpful to future people with the same problem. Especially a label along the lines of "the twist was here." Also, you should accept your own answer: you solved it! |

Wiper blades not moving, electric windows not moving Good luck - if that turns out to be the problem, please answer your own question below. There's a 100% chance that someone out there in the internet will have exactly the same problem and will appreciate the pointer from a fellow sufferer. |

Wiper blades not moving, electric windows not moving Clarification: were the blades iced over when you tried to cycle them? As in, the motor tried to move them and couldn't due to the ice? If so, possible blown fuse. |

Toyota manual transmission problem @R.., I agree that the job is technically easy if you already know the procedure and have the tools. If you don't, there's no shame in paying a professional to take care of it. Mechanics gotta eat, too, you know. |

What is the function of a blow-off valve vs a wastegate? Clarifying the original intent: if you are looking to up the performance of a forced induction vehicle, neither a wastegate or a blow-off valve will help. Neither is a power producer. They're just necessary plumbing. |

How old is too old for a new tire? @JerryOL, because I know that, at a minimum, my garage is not climate controlled. In fact, it's more sort of climate uncontrolled: air quality is terrible, who knows what kinds of particulates, temperature extremes, etc. |

Rounded bolt head on possibly broken bolt A picture might help us make a more specific recommendation. |

Turbo losing boost at around 4000 rpm +1 for the wastegate - the very first thing I'd recommend checking is the wastegate spring. |

How can I do a cheap but safe and good tuning which will improve the cars performance? @KromStern, you're correct on the benefits of dropping other non-exhaust weight. I thought about putting that in the original answer but it starts getting a little off topic in a tuning question. |

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Fails to Start and Electronics Go Awry Congrats and that's really odd. If it happens again, please come back and add to this saga: if it can happen to you, it's happening to someone else who's also going to be terribly frustrated. |

2008 Pontiac Grand Prix Fails to Start and Electronics Go Awry Does "did not start" mean that the ignition didn't even cause the starter motor to rotate? Or did the starter motor turn but the engine never reached idle? |

Why does my 2003 Acura TL intermittently make humming sounds when the engine is off? Can you get a picture? That might help the OP (and future people with the same question). |

2000 Grand AM GT engine and electric cut out randomly while driving Suggested edit: put the "sounds a bad ignition switch" at the top - otherwise I'm going to see complaints about your anecdote and that it's "not an answer!!@111" ;-) |

If I can feel the difference between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, am I imagining it? Thanks - I put it in the text of the question. |

If I can feel the difference between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, am I imagining it? If you tell us the specific model of car, we might be able to give you detailed explanations about what you're feeling. |
