Im bad at math. Lets say you start out with a full tank of gas and have zero miles on your odometer. then you drive far enough that you end up putting lets say 85 gallons of fuel in your car and your tank is now full again. if you have travel 2000 miles, do you have to minus the fuel thats in the ta...

so in theory if i jump 30 to 87 it should be a direct line to the compressor and power it up as long as the knob is turned to A/C? Also, is there a way to change a compressor clutch on the car or it has to come out to do so. Is it even worth it/possible to fix the clutch or just buy one used on ebay...

Sometimes things like that "clear out" wehen it comes to the cats and exhaust when you put additives in. if it doesnt clear up in like a tank of gas or so then id start tracking. so yo uknow, if you turn the key on/off/o...
