That question didn't make since to me either when I read it. It's even the wrong year for my truck. Here is my problem, I have a 2004 f150 4x4 and the rear (back one) u-joint needs to be replaced. But I don't see any way to remove the old one. The "old" spring clips are not there, only dimples in the metal around to old u-joint holding it in. How, or can, I get is out. Ford calls this driveshaft "unservable" but the parts store sold me a u-joint they say will work???Can you help me?

2004 ford ranger, 122k, tach reads 6000 at idle, reads 7000 at 30mph. sometimes reading is ok

It's possible that the 2004 Ford Ranger's engine or the tachometer itself is to blame for the difficulty you're describing with the tachometer reading. A crankshaft position sensor issue is one typical reason for a tachometer to read high. To determine the engine's RPM, this sensor transmits signals to the engine control module (ECM). The tachometer may show a reading higher than the real RPM if the sensor is broken.
There are several possible causes for this issue, including a problem with the tachometer itself, a problem with the sensor that sends information to the tachometer, or a problem with the vehicle's electrical system. It is also possible that the tachometer cable is loose, damaged, or disconnected.
It's recommendable to take your truck to a professional mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem. In some cases, the problem might be fixable by replacing the sensor or cable, but in other cases, it may require more extensive repairs or replacement of the tachometer itself.
It's also important to note that even though the tachometer is not working properly, it does not affect the performance of the engine, but it will give you a wrong idea of the RPM, which could lead you to over-rev the engine and cause damage.

Will the starter from a 2004 Nissan Altima fit a 94 Nissan maxima

well if you shop for any starter online it tells what cars it fits!
you posted and no engine told at all
most stores and OEM to ,demand the vin number
or you will get the wrong parts for sure. or 1/2 the time or worse.
worse means wrong part say , wrecks the fly/flex ring gear,
go to rockauto.com and read,
read them both, or all years from one Nissan engine (a secret)
wiki says.
left 2004 and right side is 1994

Is there a cabin filter in a 1995 geo prisum?

hard question that is. very very very hard
if you had read the service manual it says, OPTIONAL
try alldata.com see HVAC chapter.
or buy a real FSM book.

even my 2004 GEO, (last year) says, OPTIONAL and mine has it.
i think 1995 is none year. (pure shooting from hip, Geo wise)

This is the passenger side of a intake manifold this part didn't get covered why didn't it get covered?

Come on chief! You didn't identify the vehicle, its engine, or its year. If you get that information you could easily go to the manufacturer web site and get the engine drawing which will show the seating for the manifold. There are alot of maybe's...like maybe that is the wrong maifold for this engine.

I have a 2001 Mazda B3000 Pick up truck, last night I went to start it up but it didn't. When I turned the key the interor lights,radio and chimes started but the starter didn't make a sound. ...

It sounds like you may have a bad starter or maybe even a bad ignition switch. Then again there is always the possibility that you may just have a bad connection some where. I hope this helps you out.

Check engine light is on . Replaced mass air flow sensor last time it came on and solved problem. It's only been 2 months sense its been changed . Have a K&S filter system , made sure I didn't...

take the vehicle to AutoZone and have them read the OBDII code in the computer so you actually have some idea what might be wrong instead of guessing
