What happens is when I am driving 65 MPH down the highway and I give it a lot of gas instead of going faster right away the RPM's will just go sky high. Further more it makes me not accelerate fast at all (cannot peel if I wanted too). This problem is only recent so I am wondering what it is. Is this my clutch or what?

When i'm driving my car, when it gets to about 30mph and the rpm gets between 1 and 2, it kinda kicks in and out. It's like if you watch the dial thing on the RPM when its between 1 & 2 it starts jumping up and down, and I can feel it in the car. Then I hit the gas a little then when it gets to 2 it stops. But if I slow down it sometims does it again.. someone said the bands may need adjusted.. or a transmission flush. it's an older car 1987 celica, 146k miles. I checked the tranny fluid it was a greyish color, but still translucent. The oil is fine.

My friend has a 93 Toyota Corolla, automatic. 150,000 miles in it. Rattleing noise is coming from under the hood (sounds like from right behind the firewall) and it makes the back of the roof vibrating too. when he accelerates it makes the rattleing worse. When he puts it in reverse it stops.

I have a 1980s truck and the engine is pretty dirty. My friends have told me to pressure wash it, but i think that would cause problems. is it safe to pressure wash an engine while it is still in my truck? i also heard that coke~cola works as a good engine cleaner. what is the best way to clean a dirty engine.

Or I will consider their predessors which are almost the same except for name changes. The Suzuki is a 650cc single cylinder air cooled engine. The Kawasaki is a 500cc twin water cooled. Will the method of cooling have an affect on the maintenance or length of life of the engines?

I have a 1997 Nissan 200SX SE. It has 120,000 miles in it. Regularly checked and maintained. Just had the spark plugs replaced. It idols high when stopping at a light then goes back to normal then idols very high again until I push on the gas pedal. Any idea what the cause can be? I don't have a reliable mechanic and hope I can get an idea about the problem before I take it to the shop.

I have a 03 Nissan Altima with approximately 96,000 miles on it, and my warranty ended at 75,000 miles/3 year. Just recently I let my mother use the vehicle for the weekend in which she had a crackhead boyfriend at the time in which I wasnt aware about, well anyway she lended him the car in which he didnt ever return back with it that following weekend. So now I have a crackhead with my altima, luckily I have a GPS chip installed just in case the vehicle was ever stolen so I went to go rent a vehicle and went personally to go get my stolen vehicle, I found him and I was on a chase with him from Dallas,TX to about 15 minutes from the border of Oklahoma, during the chase were exceeding of speeds of around 95 to 130 mph (during the whole way, there werent any police in sight which was crazy) I was in a 3.5 dodge 06 charger, I got him to stop and he got out the vehicle and ran away and latter was arrested. Now so I get my car back and notice that the engine light is on also im late.
