Just a kid going through college in hopes to change the world, or at the very least get a decent career in software development.
While I'm going through school I've been working on some projects to further my learning outside of school. Right now I'm focused on a Ruby on Rails project "qRPSd" - It's an effort to provide the tools needed to play a classic tabletop RPG over the internet! (Which is pretty neat, to me, because it'll let me play some old favorites with friends that are likewise going through school.)
This site has provided me with awesome help in the past; so I hope to become an active member of StackOverflow, both as a learner and maybe a teacher :)!

Is there a standard for how much fuel is left in the tank when the meter reads empty? In our 96 Explorer, 01 Prism, 03 Caravan and 97 Caravan, the fuel gauge light comes on the bar right above the E (which should be an 1/8th of a tank or ~2 gallons which should get you roughly 30-60 miles) Our 01 Focus has a weird gauge though its only marked in 1/4ths not 1/8ths. Not sure when the light comes on. |

Engine never warms up (actually: it cools down) at highway speeds Thanks for the feedback. Is there anything "related" to the thermostat that I should be worried about inspecting? (For example, the resistor pack that failed for my blower motor is actually caused by the blower going bad, is there anything I should be on the lookout for that could cause the thermostat to go bad? Or is it just dying of old age?) |

Best way to diagnose and fix a shifter that sticks in park? ManiacZX: Well, on the flat grade, it might be just a tad "not flat" and roll after I exit the vehicle, but when I park at work it definitely rocks forward when I exit the vehicle. If I restart the car right then and there, the shifter doesn't get stuck. What confuses me is that the factor in it shifting should be: is there weight on the pawl? Not: how long has the weight been on the pawl? |

Best way to diagnose and fix a shifter that sticks in park? I'll double check with my mechanic. It was just in for a new [rebuilt] power steering pump. He usually checks my fluid levels when the car is in the shop, and I think he would've told me if the ATF was low. I do know that this van only likes ATF+3, I've heard horror stories of what happens if you put Dextron II (or similar) in this car. Hopefully the previous owner didn't try to use the wrong ATF. |

Best way to diagnose and fix a shifter that sticks in park? Getting that brake fixed is up their on my priorities, but the rear drums are a pain to get off this van so I keep putting it off ;p Long story short, the parking brake doesn't actually take any undue stress off the transmission, because it doesn't hold my vehicle in place. |

Best way to diagnose and fix a shifter that sticks in park? ManiacZX: I live in Wisconsin, which is notoriously not very hilly. No one I know uses the PARKING BRAKE to park their car... I personally do (or try to), but in this vehicle, the parking brake is misadjusted and does not work. It puts tension on the cable, but I don't think the shoes are hitting the drums. (It rolls away, but you can hear it try to scrape the drums.) |
