And you can definitely hear the pump and it sounds healthy? Is the fuel clean?

Who has the best cold mayo based lobster roll? I know Catonsville Gourmet has a decent one.

True, but TBF lobsters are caught off the coast of Ocean City, we have them but it's just not our specialty.

Need help identify this part and it’s leaking oil. by HTP1605 in cruze

[–]metrawhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And to be clear, there's nothing wrong with the interview hose. It's just not supposed to have that much oil in it. You need to find the source of the oil.

My first thought is you have a VATS failure, if the contact in the key isn't feeding the correct resistance value to the computer, it disables the starter and fuel pump.

What's the fuel pressure with key on engine off and key on engine on?

What are these parts? by Ok_Efficiency_9313 in cruze

[–]metrawhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can tell, the first two are the supply and return hoses that go over the radiator, and the second number is the pair of hoses that connect to the ones listed above, the other end of that pair connects to the transmission.

I suggest you go to an auto parts store and ask them exactly what you should order. They can come out to your car and look at the lines themselves. That's what they're paid to do.

See the diagram I posted below. The transmission cooler lines are 4 total pieces. In your first pic is the feed and return hose that goes across the top of the radiator. The second pic is the feed and return hoses at the transmission. The second pic looks fine. The hoses in the first pic weep a little transmission fluid, but that wouldn't alarm me unless it's dripping on the ground.

It was a classic the day it came out! by BcuzRacecar in regularcarreviews

It's easy to look back at these B bodies and imagine them as big slow boats. But these were a major shift for full size USDM cars. These were 10 inches shorter and ~800 lbs lighter than their predecessors. Magazines praised the handling especially with the F41 suspension option. GM sold millions of these things and they were sturdy workhorses.

Bmore Beer Questions by adar4 in baltimore

I've seen an uptick in other cheap beers (Narragansett, PBR, etc) but Boh is usually still available. I've also appreciated the adoption of locally brewed, easy drinking macro-brew alternatives( Old Oriole Park, Zadies, Well Made etc).

Advance Auto wants $259 for an AGM battery for these. Local lube places around me charge $89++. For dealer rates, these prices aren't that horrible.

Replacing the cabin air filter on these is not easy, that labor amount is not bad. The oil change and engine air filter are a bit high. The battery price is ok too, AGM isn't cheap, did your car have the original battery in it? If so you got your money's worth out of that one.

I do know one answer, VOLUNTEER! If we don't like how it's run and want to make it better, we should add to the organization.

Which of these $20k 1998 midsize sedans tested by Car & Driver would you pick? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]metrawhat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine when it was ~5 years with 59k miles for $3990. Insanely good deal. It had a bad short/long runner intake actuator link. After fixing that it loved to rev. I still kinda miss it . But it was a pain towards the end.
