    2000 V6 front brake "freeze"

    I have a 2000 V6 with 118k miles. Don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but after the car sits for a week or so (have a 2010 I drive daily), the front passenger brake seems to "freeze" up while driving. The car shakes and slows down. When I stop there is a distinct burning smell. Will...

    2000 3.8 V6 plug/wire change

    The wires were wrong. Replaced yesterday and runs fine. Thanks. By the way, the confusion on the locations is that it appears my coil is set up in reverse from your picture. It did have them numbered though and went smoothly.

    2000 3.8 V6 plug/wire change

    I started to change plugs and wires yesterday and found that Auto Zone sold me the wrong wires. So I had to pull wires and want to make sure I get the order right - front to rear, passenger side to drivers side 3-2-1-4-5-6 for plug order and 3-2-1-4-6-5 for the coil order. Is this correct?

    Replacing plugs and wires

    2000 v6. I'm looking to replace my plugs and wires but I am a novice in repair. Is this easy to do. I hear some of the plugs are difficult to reach? I did install a CAI last week and would like to do as much of the work myself. Any other suggested work I can do. I will not do anything that...

    tubular exhaust manifolds

    It seems I have a problem with the tubular exhaust manifolds on my 2000 v6. The sound gets louder as the car runs for a while. I took it my local Mieneke shop and ask if they can remove the manifold and repair it by welding the cracks. They wouldn't do the work as they felt it was fine to drive...

    loud noise, 2nd and 4th mostly

    Also it sounds more like a combination of a rattle and ping, as if I may have water in the gas.

    loud noise, 2nd and 4th mostly

    Sounds same as when I start out, only about 10 times louder, almost as if its exhaust, only I hear it in front of me. Seams when engine is colder there's no noise, only after it runs awhile.

    loud noise, 2nd and 4th mostly

    I recently bought a 2000 V6 5 speed with 115000 miles as a weekend car. I have a noise coming from under the hood that is quiet loud at times. As I start out, first gear has little noise until around 3000 rpm, second as I just lightly touch the gas and then around 3000 rpm, third no noise...
