    Is my alternator on its way out?

    So today, totally randomly, car starts making this whining noise at idle, which gets louder until ~2k rpm in first, and then is drowned out by exhaust. I've never had alternator whine before so I'm not sure if this is it or not...so there's the sound. So I come home, pop the hood, and...

    Washed my car, now brakes are soft

    So as the title says, I washed my car yesterday, and since then brakes have been weird. On smooth parking lot floors, if i brake gently, the car will brake very softly, then just stop suddenly with a big jolt. On roads, the brakes definitely feel a lot softer - almost rear ended someone...

    TL Rear Sway Bar and Exhaust Piping

    So yesterday I installed my 05 TL-S RSB...and it wasn't hard at all, except for the fact that it didn't want to play nice with my exhaust..(apex'i WS2). I managed to 'force' it in, but the bar is in direct contact with the pipe and the flange. There is a bit of stress on both parts, but I...

    Crank Position Sensor

    So I went to get my car checked out for regular stuff by my mechanic, and the guy thought my start-up was a bit weird. So he messed around a bit and found that it'll randomly throw a code for 'Random Multiple Misfires.' Long story short, I think this could be the cause of my stalling problems...

    What makes bad headlights bad?

    Saw a ton of egay projector/headlight questions, and I thought I'd ask my own... So the reason people tell others not to get anything other than OEM is the horrible light output, along with the cheap materials/workmanship, and their tendency to break easily... But what makes the light...

    Coolant sitting in engine bay - need some reassurance

    So I was cleaning out the IACV, but I stupidly ordered the I4 gasket instead of the V6 (thinking they were the same). While taking off the IACV, I got some coolant everywhere (accidentally applied pressure to main hose, so its not a 'small' amount. I wiped off what I could, and most fell...
