Towing a vehicle on its drive wheel. Jump-starting a car with the negative connecter going straight to the dead battery’s negative terminal rather than ground.
I’ve seen enough of this for it to be touched upon, in my opinion.

I’m not sure if this is considered a myth, but I suppose it’s something that can be discussed.
How about putting tires that are more worn (as opposed to the others) on the front or rear of your vehicle? Taking into consideration the vehicles drive type.
Of course, having all tires evenly worn is ideal.

I don’t recall the catalytic converter not functioning properly, afflicting a no start condition.
Please enlighten me if it does.

[quote=”LeoTheLion89″ post=59120]as the saying goes “if it aint broke dont fix it” hoses will outlast most of anything else on the car. I replaced my PCV hose cuz it somehow got a hole. My T-Housing blew hose was fine.[/quote]
The PCV hose got a hole most likely because of wear and tear. Waiting until something tears or breaks is illogical, to say the least. Get ready for more expensive repairs.

[quote=”LeoTheLion89″ post=58747]i really wouldnt replace the rad hoses, thermostat or coolant unless the engine is overheating. My thermostat blew so i had to get a new one and add coolant because it all leaked out and i didnt replace the rad hoses just cleaned the upper hose where it connected to the thermostat and radiator.[/quote]
Why would you wait until something happens before replacing said items? Which will inevitably happen a lot sooner if the items were not replaced.
[quote=”Durango8766″ post=58799]Well I will most likely leave the thermostat alone from what you experienced. I am going to do the rad hoses, at least the upper, and I am going to replace the coolant since I’m doing the water pump/timing belt. plus the coolant has 168k on it so its 48k past due, since honda says 120k. I also believe that the rad hoses are original so I just want to be on the safe side.[/quote]
Might as well do the other hoses and thermostat as well; at least the lower hose along with the thermostat. It should not cost a bundle more and you’re draining the coolant anyway.
