Cars & Transportation - 8 August 2006

I work in an automotive center and people have the dumbest questions and if they would look in their manual they wouldn't have to ask the dumb question!
Is it just easier to have someone else read it for you or do they just not understand the manual because things are so much more complicated now days?

I have a 2001 ford mustang gt My car turned off yesterday and when I turned it back on it said check engine. AutoZone told me it was the crankshaft positioning sensor (they used the device they have to check the code ) and I changed it but after a while the light came back on and the sensor got messed up again. What could the problem be? What causes a crankshaft sensor to go bad?

bought a 1994 olds and it has to run for about 10 minutes before it will shift into gear. It seems to run fine after that. Haven't driven it much, want to check everything out first. It had only been used a few times in the past year. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I bought an electric scooter on eBay, and within the first week of having it, i wrecked the batteries, i think by over-charging them. I think i heard somewhere that it is possible to revive them, by draining them so low that they reverse polarity, it won't be possible to buy new ones either, because buying relacements would cost more than buying a new scooter. If you know anything about this procedure, please let me know, keep in mind that they are 'Sealed Lead Batteries'. They are also two individual batteries, so i guess i don't have to worry about one changing polarity and the other one not, unless there are more than one cell in each. If it helps, the model number on them is CP 1245, and they are 12V 4.5AH each. Thanks.

It seems as if I have to get a completely new engine after doing some hydrolock damage to my car... does anybody know where I could get a 2005 Mazda3 SP23 (2.3L) long block, and how much it would cost me, fully installed?

Thanks a ton!

ok. i left it sitting for about 2months tried to jump it, but my over excited butt accidentally crossed the negative and positive. i replaced the fuse on the starter solenoid and checked others and it wont hold a charge. did i burn up my alternator or could it be my battery? what other possible things could of happened? it will start with a jump but wont start after i turn it off. and i downed it not too long before that and broke the harness off the top of the starter solenoid. a new harness can be purchaed but i have to get the whole thing which is like 300 hundred bucks. what wires connect to the top of the solenoid in what order? any bodys help is greatly appreciated. and if not then if you got a quad ill trade you straight up. thanks.

I have had oil changes and showed proof to the MFG but they still state it was not taken care of. (yes they are recent) I have taken it to a mechanic and they quoted $650.00 for repairs of a bad piston I just do not want to get taken for a ride. Young and Female and unfortunately
not knowledgeable on car repairs. It cranks over but has a bad knocking noise while running losses power right away. Well I hope I can at least get some info if this is worth the time and $$$. Thanks for reading and thanks if you answer!!!

My 1968 Pontiac GTO had a 395 horse HO engine with a muncie 4 speed rigged to shift backwards and butterfly rear-end. I only raced factory stock cars. The car that beat me, took me in the 1/4 mile but I beat him top end. I will offer this clue...only a very limited number of the whoopmyass car was built and it is extremely rare to find.

If you where to ask how fast my GTO was top end then I can`t tell you. My speedo broke while outrunning a Mississippi Highway Patrol crusier w/no lights on top. I found out later that top end for those cruisers was around 147mph. The funny thing is...I was invited one time by the MHP out to their skid pad so thier rookies could chase me around the course as part of thier training.
