My suv overheated and I fixed the hole in the radiator (stop leak)and did a complete radiator flush and still working fine. However a few days later my heater quit blowing hot air. It blows great just cool air. It happend all of a sudden and temperature gauge wasn't affected when this happend. What could be the problem?

The local Yamaha dealer won't budge on the $6300 price tag on the 2007 but I've found some 2006 models on ebay for $4400. Just wondering if there were any major differences.

After checked generator. The voltage out from generator was 14.1-14.3 Volt. He said its ok also, but still battary warn light is on. When i start the car the light is of but during 2 minutes it the battary light turnes on.Do you have any ideas what could be reason of that? Im in Georgia, Tbilisi so that mostly local masters dont understand the system of US cars. Thank you in advance.

Other than being a ford, other than being a taurus, can someone please give me some insight as to what's wrong with this car? Its driving me crazy. I've only had it a month and already I've had to sink a load of money into it. It drove fine during the test-drive. Looked great, sounded great, drove great. I forked over the cash and it hasn't run right since. It started with a subtle miss. I changed the plugs and wires. Still missed. Then the check engine light came on, I had the codes pulled and a new camshaft position sensor put in. Light went off, light came back, pulled codes again. The guy claimed he just needed to reset the code. He did. Light came on again. It started missing like mad, thought it was water in tank, added gas treatment, it got worse. Light went off. Now my heat doesn't work, my dash clock won't keep proper time, and my radio screws up when turned on (says theres no fm stations) 1998 Ford Taurus LX V-6 3.0 130K Please help me!

1/ What is the vehicle with the gasoline engine that has wooden, moving, mechanical parts?
2/ What is the name of the Engineer on the blueprints of the car and engine that has the wooden, internal, moving, parts?
Any car buff person out there who has a history of this car/engine and who designed it and why they chose to use wooden parts inside an engine in the first place?
Thanks for your help on this one !

After sitting for a long while in a line with my 98 Chrysler town and country minivan, I noticed the overheat light on and the temperature gage all the way up. I pulled out of the line and started driving and within 3 or 4 seconds the temperature gage dropped down to normal. Just got the vehicle and had greasemonkey check the fluids so I assume the antifreeze level is ok. Any ideas?
Thanks

Why is it that we have so many regulations on car exhaust but semi trucks drive around blowing out thick black smoke? Seems like that smoke would be just as bad.

My car is insured with 21st Insurance Company and they are changing my terms in the middle of the contract, without reason or prior notification.
Their phone numbers, web page, and chat have all been of no use to settle this.

I am continually impressed with my impreza because it just endured being side swiped by a tractor trailor and the only thing that was really damaged was the fender (trashed) and the splash shield (or inner fender liner or whatever its actually called). So I was wondering how to put a new one on. Do you have to use a heat gun or do you simply screw it on?
