Because, I already have 40 miles on my doughnut, and I was gonna get an extra 30 maybe 40 on it, so I could maybe save my relationship tonight. Is it worth it? lol Like, what could happen, will my tire blow up? Or something? I really need to drive... and cannot wait until Monday :(

When the car is warm, in gear, and with foot on brake, there is a slight clanging noise under the hood and the car shudders a bit.

Three mechanic shops later (including the GM dealer) and no one has a clue whats up. New spark plugs and new wires have been tried. They thought it was the flywheel and pulled the tranny. Flywheel is fine. Thought it was the torque converter so changed that. Nothing seems to work.

The car is a 1997 Sunfire and the mechanics are at a loss.

Help!!

HELP! I've spent over $3000 trying to fix an acceleration problem on my 99 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. New Distributor Cap and Rotor, new computer, new Catalytic Converter, wires and plugs, new O2 sensor, timing belt replaced and adjusted, and still no solution. Chrysler mechanic believes it's an issue with the vacuum in the engine and the issue is an internal engine problem, so they want to start taking apart the engine, but I'm afraid to spend more money and still not have a solution. Car really drags when accelerating. When hooked up to computer, fuel injector indicator (I think) registers 54 and then jumps to 276 and then back to 54-- nothing in between. Can anyone at all help me out? I fear getting hosed because I don't know a lot about cars.

I drive a Ford F150 Extended Cab Pickup Truck. I have plenty of fluid in my radiator. The pressure in the lines seems ok. The heater core in and out is both hot and under pressure. I don't know what else I can check without spending thousands to do it. Someone said it might be in the knob, but that it would cost around $700. to check that.

I can't figure out why my parking lights won't turn off after my car is off. The only solution I can figure right now is to disconnect the battery. Advanced Auto can't figure it out. They do not automatically turn on anymore either.
Please help!
Thank you.

I drove about 5 miles, oil warning light turned on, I checked the oil and there was none. I then added 3qts and drove 3 additional miles with low oil pressure. I changed the oil and filter, the pressure gauge went back to normal for about a half hour, but then went back to below normal w/ the warning light on. The engine sounded strong with no knocking. Is the oil pump the problem, or could it be something else?
