    A strange not starting problem, no lights

    I fixed it. So after careful deliberation (being pissed off) I went back to the basics as a reply suggested. I cleaned and reattached both battery cables to the terminals. One had looked trouble free to start with and was snug so I left it be, but cleaning and reattaching did the trick...

    Harsh Engine Vibration

    It sounds like a rod or main bearing is going out, to me at least. I have heard some talk about premature rod journal bearing wear in SHO's. If it is a rod knock, the journal bearings could be the culprit. I think I am going to get a second opinion, and then do the journal bearing...

    Harsh Engine Vibration

    It is definetly a vibration, not a surgeing. If you put your hand on the intake you can feel the whole engine vibrating. The vibration does follow rpms, until it smooths out above 1800. What are some good mechanics close to Austin, luigisho?

    Harsh Engine Vibration

    My engine developed a terrible sounding vibration a few days ago. I took off the accessory belt and ran the engine (thinking it was power steering) and the vibration is definetly coming from the engine. However the vibration cuts out, just quits, after about 1800 rpm. At idle it makes me...
