How much should it cost to have a fuel filter replaced?

dont hook it to the ignition coil. many coils dont run on full battery voltage. the best hot wire key on only is the ignition switch, and supplies plenty of amperage to supply the choke with room to spare. run a fuse (5a)

If I just replaced the transmission in a 99 dodge ram Gas with the 5.9 liter?

"Hot in run" describes the circuit you'd want to use. It also makes sense to have it on an engine-related circuit, so the next guy to look at it can figure out what the heck you did :)

Why does my clutch only slip in 4th gear on my vw with ford 289?

You might want to get a book and take some time and learn some basic automotive electrical. (not all the computer stuff, just basic circuits.) You can do a lot of cool stuff with it, you'll enjoy it a lot.

Has anyone used the new Rain-X Latitude wiper blades yet?

It should be wired to a circuit that is "hot" with the key "on". If you wire it to a source that is "hot" all the time, like the battery, you will burn out the electrical part of the choke. It is not designed to stay on all the time. Only on startup and until the engine warms up. The easiest way is to run a wire to an ignition accessory circuit on the fuse panel. It will only be "hot" with the key on. Make sure the wire is protected with the correct size fuse. The carb should come with instructions also.

Is it true that Canadian Tire is a bad place to take your car to be repaired?

i own a repair shop and don't hook it to the battery hook it to the distributor wire,it only needs very little voltage to operate but if you hook it to the battery you,ll burn the choke unit up in less than one day on it,use the distributor hot wire for it it should be close,and it only needs to be hot when the car is started or running,when you cut the key off there should be no voltage to the choke at all,good luck i hope this helps.
