Q:What is the purpose of the LNG Vs Propane Valve that has to be installed on Gas Stoves/Ovens before use ? How can I set it myself for Propane ? What negligible effects would I experience if I hook a stove up to Propane while the valve is set-up for LNG ?Thank You !

Gas ovens, and furnaces on natural run at 3.5 inches of water column and propane is at 10.5 inches of water column. Therefore the pressures are different. If you were to run a natural stove on propane you would be eating soot, and it would end up on your walls backsplash, inside the oven etc. This is to be done only by a professional

Q:Hey Guy! So I Was Thinking About Buying A 93 Honda Del Sol For $1800, But The Guy State That It Need A Valve Job Now Im Not To Sure What Is A Valve Job Is And How Much It Would Cost... So Please Help Me Out... I Really Need A Car :-/If Needed I Live In South Of California

if you dont want to spend a lot on repairs,buy an american made car. parts for forien made cars are high high high. ithey cost more to work on and maintain.un less the car in aone condition. not worth it.

Q:I pulled the vaccuum line off the valve and nothing happened. I revved the engine and held it a higher rpm and still nothing happened(no vaccuum). Does this mean that the egr valve is bad. I have been having a problem with rough idle, and keeping the car running at a stop sign. I have already changed the pcv valve and that seemed to help a little. Thanks

You have likely got a bit of carbon in the EGR that you can clean after you remove it, I usually spray some penetrating oil into the valve hold my finger over the hole that I sprayed into and turn the valve over, if it leaks the seat is dirty and cleaning the carbon out may help. also push up on the plunger several times to be sure that it doesn't stick alternate carb cleaner with penetrating oil until the valve is free and no longer leaks when inverted. As far as your question the test you described doesn't test the EGR or the EGR solenoid correctly at all. On some the car needs to be in gear to actuate the EGR, all you need to do is check that there is vacuum to the solenoid and that the EGR valve works freely. If the EGR fails to work the check engine light should be on and you can check the code to get a clue as to why.

Q:My vehicle has 160,000 miles and has burned 2 quarts of oil at 3000 miles. Someone told me to change the PCV valve because sometimes a bad PCV valve can cause oil consumption. I appreciate your assistance.

This okorder /.. It will be on either the left or right side of your motor and it will be on top of the valve cover. This would not cause you motor to consume that much oil. You have a high mileage vehicle so you your piston rings and internal seals are worn out. There is really nothing you can do besides an engine overhaul. If you strongly feel its the PCV you can pick one up for a couple bucks, but it wont solve your problem. My suggestion is to keep driving and just keep an eye on the oil level. Carry a quart or 2 in your truck and just add as needed.

Q:what is the average cost to replace a valve core on a car? also can any car shop do it or do i have to go to a conrads etc.

You can do it yourself very cheaply. All you need to do is go to Walmart or a Auto parts store and get four valve cores and a valve core remover, then go to a gas station the has a air compressor. Remove the valve cores and put the new ones in, you don't have to let all the air out Just put the new valve core in and air the tire back up. I would check the old valve cores before I changed them or have them changed by mixing water and soap together and put in on the top of the valve core, if it bubbles then you need to replace them, if it doesn't bubble someone is just try to scam you.

Q:We have a 2005 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton truck that has a check engine light on. The dealer checked the code and he told us we need a new Evap Vent Valve and clamp. The cost is over 500.00 with labor being most of the cost. Is this diffcult to change out? Im a very mechanical person. Also he said it would be ok to drive for now but could cause problems down the road. ????like what?My wife is getting ready to take a trip in it, should it be ok for awhile? Dont have 500+ to spend on it now.

Q:I think they need to be taught how to count. Honesty... Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two... Where the hell is 3 already?

HAHA! that is a good question! I don't know, maybe they just like continuation sequels rather than a whole new version of the game. At least they're making a third left 4 dead!

Q:she 13 and shes always sleeping what is a leaky valve there not telling me enough for me to understand and im a nurse tech im scared for her

Leaky valve is generally refered to as back flow in mitral valve of the heart resulting into extreme debilitation and shortness of breath.Each heart beat sends blood leaking backwards through mitral valve making the heart work harder and harder to keep the blood circulating.No medication is available to treat or cure this condition.To correct the situation answer is either a mitral valve clip procedure or open heart surgery.

Q:Electric Hot Water Tank Pressure Release Valve Leaking, Why?

did you recently increase the heat settings or change a thermostat? an increase in temperature can cause the pressure relief to go off a little...but usually only when the temperature gets up there (160-180oF) which is uncommon for electric. Unless the valves are shut off above the tank, the piping system should handle any pressure increase in an electric tank. Do you have a buffer tank on the hot water side? (usually only when you have hydronic heat) it could be saturated or pre-charged too high. If none of the above are probable, you may just have a bad pressure relief valve, I've changed one before, had to turn off the cold water and open up a cold tap to let all the pressure out of the system, bleed off the hot water until the pressure valve didn't spit out when I opened it, unscrewed the plastic downpipe from the valve(some have it, some don't) and remove/replace it with some teflon tape on the new one (20 bucks or so from the home depot)

Q:I bought a plastic ball valve from Lowe's just a couple days ago and it is stuck, I haven't installed it in anything but it wont budge without a pair of channel locks. I tried wd-40 but still nothing, should I return it or keep working with it? and if I keep working what should I try?

=== take it back and get another valve .... if it doesn't work freely in your hand then the valve will be a problem if you install it ---- working with pvc you should use the purple glue that is waterproof and it is a good seal and no leaks when you have
