Thought I would try here and see if I'm lucky. My girlfriend has a 2001 Sonata, 6 cylinder Engine. The engine first starts pinging and knocking, then goes to full engine accelleration. By itself. Any clue as to what that is (now that the mechanic has bent her over and fixed over $1k of cra..

Can anyone tell me if the 6 cylinder engine in a 1995 ES 300 is an "interference" type where a broken timing belt will ruin the engine? Please respond to e-mail address. Thanks. John

Hi We recently bought a fully imported 1986 300ZX with turbo 2-litre inline 6 cylinder engine. Although already registered in two states in Australia, roadworthy inspection in our current state of Queensland now rejects the front amber parking/turn signal lenses. Does anyone know where we can..
