Cars & Transportation - 7 August 2006

I have a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am and the only number I know dealing with the engine is 3.4 I believe.

Today I drove it to the store without any warnings or previous problems of it starting. I went to drive home and the ignition kept turning and turning but it wouldn't click to start up. You could feel it trying to start a little bit but it never made it.
All of the fluid levels were sufficient and I had a half a tank of gas in it. The only problems I ever felt with it were sometimes when I was speeding up or it was about to shift gears on the highway(its automatic), it would stall temporarily or miss a little bit.
Anyone have any ideas?

I have a V-6 98 camaro, for the past 8 months I seem to have a problem with the idle. During the past few months I have changed the spark plugs, fule filter,cables, air filter, battery, altinator, fule cap and I cleaned all connections, not to mention I sprayed air intake cleaner into the intake itself. Yet I am still having the same problem. The strange thing is it ONLY happens when I first start the car and come to a complete stop. When I do so the alt. gauge drops from 13.5 volts down to 6-7 volts and the car idles rough. However, when my foot is on the break and I accelerate to 2000rpms, the problem goes away until I come to a compleate stop or have parked for more than 3 hours and it start all over again. Any ideas? Could it be the ERG valve? I ruled out the idol control valve as well.

My truck is an unsafe vehicle sold to me based on lies from small dealership. I have a lemon law case, but I can't afford to pay an attorney for representation. Can someone help me with this?? My truck has almost gotten me killed twice because it just dies out. The dealership is playing games with me. It's now at the dealership's mechanic, but I know it can't be fixed because the parts they need to make it a safe vehicle aren't available anymore.

It's a long story, but my daughter and I are going through probate for the house we live in. It was my mother's home and when she died just before Christmas, the house became part of a very ugly probate process.

Even though we are 50% benefactors in the will, we are about to get evicted.

I have injured my back and am due to get an operation so money's very tight right now.

We need an enclosed trailer to put our belongings into so that if the eviction goes through, we can pack up quickly.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Scott

I have a 4.8L engine, 97 Lincoln Continental. I see water spots and or antifreeze, just had the oil checked if the head gasket is blown how long will I be able to drive it and or could it be something wrong with my fans. Oil looked black prior to having heater valve and thermostat put in. No steam coming from the tailpipe. Could it be the radiator or water pump? Car ran hot twice before having the above items put on. I also bought a motor for my fan. I tried running my air conditioner and temperature started going up. Cut air off and gauge went back down so where is the antifreeze going? Also water had been put in the coolant reservoir, I put antifreeze in after car started to get hot.
