I have a 1984 Ford LTD Crown Vic w/ 302 V8. Runs rough, yet I might use for basic cargo hauler. (Kind of a cheap truck ??)...Anyways, heater inlet/outlet hoses been redirected and cut. Inquiries tell me core could be bad. I hooked up hoses and ran it. Did leak...big time. So I put some "Dyke" radiator treatment in coolant system. Seems to have slowed leak. Here's the question. Anyone out there had similar problem. Maybe used this stuff or something that worked real good? Thanks.

My dad and I have an used BMW 525i. We bought it with over 250km and haven't had this idling problem until last week (we've owned it since late june). I've noticed that after I take it for a drive and put it into park, the tachometer will rev up and down continually. I'm wondering if it's likely to be a problem with the ICV or maybe something else? Also note that the weather here is currently cold (Toronto, Canada). Smart-*** answers will get an immediate thumbs down. Thanks for your help in advance!

I was driving my car and it over heated. I pulled over as soon as I could get somewhere to stop (approx. 1 min) as a pulled into a parking lot all the lights in the car came on and it stalled. I saw very, very light white smoke coming from the hood for maybe 1 min. I saw that I was completely out of coolant and replaced it! I let the car cool and then started it back up. The car sounded a little ruspy when starting but then was fine. I drove 5 minute and the temp raised again. Checked the coolant and it already seemed low so I replaced it again. After 20 mins I started the car again it seemed ok and 10 min down the road it began again. I pulled into a car dealership service station and had them take a look. At this point it didn't sound to healthy but wasn't loud. The heat was completely topped off (no smoke). Coolant flew out of the radiator when they took it off. Nothing looked like it was leaking, but again the coolant was gone. I have a 96 Chevy Monte Carlo. Please help!

Were racecar designers inspired by nature?

Or does nature dictate that the best designs seem to always look a particular way - for their particular purposes - whether we are aware of the 'coincidence' or not?

how do you put motor oil in the motor? I know It may sound pretty stupid but I left my husband and he would always take care of it. Do I put it in the little pipe hole where you check the oil level? I know I'm lacking a quart cause he had told me so prior to me leaving cause he said he had checked and had not had time and did not want for me to lock my engine up for the sake of our children......

the hose in my car looks very different from anything I have been able to find on-line. I find straight hoses and mine is almost Y shaped.
