Cars & Transportation - 9 November 2006

I ask this because when I crank my car it makes a brief screeching sound and sometimes when i back my car up or drive normally it also makes that same sound and I was told it is due to the timing belt being put in wrong so I was just wondering about it...

I have already replaced the spark plugs, wires, roter, and cap. This has been happening once in a while when I start the car then it goes away after the engine warms up. Recently it hasn't even gone away with the engine heated. I have 4 error codes :
1. cylinder 1 misfire
2. cylinder 2 misfire
3. multiple random misfire
4. P1399 vehicle specific

I haven't been able to find out what P1399 is. If anyone could give me any ideas with any of this it would be a great help. Thanks

I put my car in the shop to have recall work (unrelated to the engine) and for an oil change. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with my car. They told me that I needed a new battery and alternator. 2 years ago, I did the same thing and they told me that I needed a new starter. I refused the service to get a 2nd opinion. My car has started every day since (never replaced the starter) except when it goes back to the dealer. Is it possible to have your alternator and battery go out without ANY warning?? I am beginning to thing that I am getting scammed??????

What is best for someone who will spend most of their time on highways or streets. I don't plan to be driving through the mountains or forrest. However, I will have to deal with a lot of rain and sometimes even snow.

I have and older ford car with a 4 cylinder engine, I think it would be a good idea to use a synthetic for extra protection. Especially since I have a small oil leak. Any advice?

Someone told me that if you're running into a convenient store really quick (or a house, etc.) that you use more gas turning your car off than if you just left it running. Is this true?

my car is "jumping", it's not working as it should be. I took it to two different mechanics, one changed the spark plugs, but the problem was still there. The second mechanic told me that he could not find a problem, but it could be the flow meter. Any ideas?

My car is overheating. I put in a new thermostat, test drove it - it overheated and the coolant backed up big time into the overflow tank. A guy said to pull the new thermostat, drop it in a pot of boiling water and "see if it opens." He said sometimes you get a new one and it's bad. So I did that. The copper button moved out some, but how do I tell if it "opened?" Should I be able to see light through it at some points?

I heard the reason why they don't have the Mitsubishi Evo VIII and other rally type cars is because they have an intercooler? True? How come?
