Overheating exhaut I have a 83 GLX 5.0 that is overheating the exhaust to the point that it ignited the rear seat right over the flow master exhaust. The car is timed perfectly,there are no knocks or pings coming from the heads. There are no vaccum leak that I know of. The engine has no mods other than the Flow Master exhaust

Wow, are you missing a heat shield under the car at that point, or is new exhaust routed any differently than the stock system? I know the Florida state police had trouble w/ Mustangs starting fires on the median while parked in the grass doing radar and investigating accidents years ago, maybe about the year of your car. They lost several cars. I believe it was the catalytic converter that was torching the grass. How about installing a heat shield in the area you had the overheating? And don't park in the grass. Do not know what else could cause it though. good luck and let me know how you make out. countrycurt0

Have 1993 Chevrolet P30 with 454 engine.Lacks power on hills and for unknown reason right rear brake caliphers pick-up. Shut off engine, wait 5 min. and restart, brakes release and able to...

Hello..I'm not sure what you mean when you say
"right rear brake calipers pick-up."

If you have power brakes with a brake booster, vacuum decreases in the power booster as the throttle opens. If you have a hydra boost system, the power steering pump provides the power assist. All system components (master cylinder, power steering pump or booster, power brakes proportioning valve, lines and fittings, calipers and pads and emergency brake) all need to be in good condition with no leakage or out of spec adjustments... to perform properly.

As you are loosing power while under heavy load uphill I would first check to confirm none of the brake calipers are hanging up (lift each wheel and check for free travel..no drag with brakes and emergency brake off)

The exhaust systems ability to flow freely is also critical. A plugged up exhaust system will not allow the free flow of exhaust gasses and severely limit the available power output of the engine...like driving with the choke plate closed.

Check here for more information about brake bleeding:

I have an 83 camaro z28 with a 5.0 305 engine, why does it sputter when accelerating past 30 miles per hour

Could be any number of things. Bad coil or weak spark, low fuel pressure or clogged fuel filter. A breakdown of the ignition subsystems equivalent to points and firing sensors.

You should check EGR by very temporarily plugging vacuum line and see if performance is changed. Sometimes blocked exhaust Catalytics or collapsed muffler baffles will plug up the exhaust and require too much push to clear the pipes.

My van is now starting to sound like a tractor

Check your exhaust system for leaks holes in the pipes or gasket problems at pipe connections and exhaust maniflod It won't be loud if the problem is befind the muffler in front it will be .You can usauly feel the exhuast comeing out if you cheak it right after you start the engine and the pipes are still cold because the exhauts will be hot . Try to pin point ware the noise is comeing from first like the day before .Don't get burned these things get vary hot

What's your problem? Exhaust overheating and engin looses power.

check the converter by having someone hold the gas down while you feel the flow out of the tailpipe it will get to a point and decrease it should push more with the acceleration if it dont change the catilatic converter

I have a 2004 Land cruiser and changed the right rear brake cyl and brake shoes . What is the proper procedure to bleed the rear brake system. Thank you for your help.

  1. Check the fluid level in the reservoir after bleeding each wheel. Add DOT3 fluid, if necessary.
  2. If the master cylinder was disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder as follows:
    1. Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
    2. Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it.
    3. Block off the outlet plug with your finger, and release the brake pedal.
    4. Repeat 3 or 4 times.

  3. Bleed the brake starting with the one furthest from the reservoir and then the next furthest, etc.
  4. Depress the brake pedal several times, then loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal held down.
  5. At the point when fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug to 11 Nm (8 ft. lbs.), then release the brake pedal.
  6. Repeat until all the air in the fluid has been bled out.
  7. Repeat the procedure to bleed the air out of brake line for each wheel.
  8. Check the fluid level and add DOT3 fluid if necessary.

Upgrading from stock exhaust to flow master cat back.....how much more preformance?

You will gain a marginal performance gain from the aftermarket exhaust system. Maybe 8-10 rear wheel horsepower. The real benefits would be the better exhaust note, but of course, that's a personal preference.

My infrared remote does not work. I have an Audi A6 1995

Do you have memory seats as well? If so follow these steps I am going to refer to the keys as A and B as you have 2 of them
1) Unlock car with key A
2) Turn ignition into ON position with key A and roll down the window
3) Point Key B at IR Sensor and Click twice (perform both clicks under 5 seconds)
4) Turn off ignition and pull Key A out
5) Turn ignition into ON position with Key B
6) Point Key A at IR Sensor and Click once
7) Turn off ignition and Pull Key B out

Key A should be programmed as the Master Seat Program and Key B should be programmed for the Secondary seat program
So when you set your memory seats Key A is for Memory Position 1 and Key B is for memory position 2
if you don't have memory seats then you only have to point the receiver at the sensor and click once. That should just sync the IR Frequency and Codes
