There's a small oil filter that gets blocked up. It needs a clean. Sorry I can't be more specific but that's what my mechanic indicated when this was happening to my '91 cavalier.

As Above, I remember a filter getting blocked in the air filter unit, But:

Given the age of Cavalier's these day, it's also quite possible that the engine is just "worn out". IE the bores in the block and the rings on the pistons have worn past the point they were designed to, and now combustion gasses are getting into the crank-case, and over pressurising it, causing the problem you have.

Where do you add the transmission fluid on a 99 Honda Passport?

There are two bolts on the bottom of the tranmission fluid pan. The lower of the two is the drain, and the higher of the two is the filler. YES, the filler is on the bottom of the pan. Warm the ATF by driving for 15 minutes or so, remove the filler plug and pump fluid up into the pan until it overflows out of the filler hole. Then cycle the tranny through the gears and couple times and refill. Personally, i'd check it again a couple days later after some driving. The '99 Honda Passport automatic transmission does not have a transmission dip stick. if it is a automatic pull trans. dip stick and add their if not it should be on side of trans. Pull the transmissionn dip stick, and get a small funnel, and pour the fluid in.

1990 maxima loses power while driving like it is not getting fuel. what would cause this?

The first and easy thing to check is that the fuel filler cap is breathing properly. Do this by stageing the fault condition (go driving) then pull over and open the fuel filler cap- see if you notice a vaccum breaking with a great rush of air. filler caps when working properly have a tinny breather hole that keep the air (if any) in your tank at atmospheric pressure.

If it shoots out the filler cap you will need to replace the pump located under the resevoir. Access is under the car. use a 5/16 to get the bolt and remove the clip.
