I was driving and stopped at a light. Put my foot on the brakes when suddenly my van, which had till then an idle that I was proud of, popped forward as if to over power my braking. It wanted to go. I threw it into neutral to listen to the idle and realized that my beauty of an idle was now a pretty high reving idle that was not due to my foot being on the pedal or my throttle linkage not springing back into position. Can someone help me out here for it is hard to drive like this not to mention stop.

I have a 1998 Ford Escort and the transmission is going...I have heard this is a sealed unit and computer controlled so it cannot be repaired...DOes anyone have an idea of how much a replacement would be? Or what else possibly could be repaired on a transmission with rough and slipping shifts. The problem is the worst when the car is cold.

I'm talking about highway safety here. I almost pulled out in from of a car once because the car was grey.....the SAME color as the pavement. If you are going to buy a new car, AND you want to be seen, forget grey and other colors that blend in with the scenery or are otherwise hard to see, like dark green, dark blue, black, silver and dark red. Go for the bright colors like bright red, yellow, neon green, white, and the lighter shades of blue.
Just a tip from a guy who drives for a living.

Someone close to me, wants me to insure their car on my name. They also want the car registered on my name. The thing is I would, however, the person gets lots of traffic tickets and violations. On top of that he gets into an accident here and there. Now I know this will affect my insurance premiums, and I am fully aware that he will pay those premiums. So that is not the issue, however I'm worried about my driving record. Can his mistakes cause my driving record to slip, even though it is him driving, althrough the car and insurance is on my name? Can this effect me any way possible, other than the premiums? I want to become a professional driver one day for a certain job, and i know they check the driving records. So what should I do? And what effect will this have on me?

I'm learning the trucking business and want to know how many pallets will fit in a 48 ft (basic dry van) and a 53 ft truck. Also, if you do know can you break it down - as in I know you can 'pinwheel', go straight in, and put one row sideways. I also know some trailers are 102" and I think 98" so that makes a difference too. Is there anyway to find this info and have it all make sense? Thanks

I own a 1999 Toyota Camry (4 cyl) and recently I changed the radiator. Ever since then, my mileage has gone down. Prior to the change, I used to get around 30+ mpg on the hiway and 23-24 miles in the city. Now, I get an average of 22 miles, after filling up, and I've driven on both highway and city roads. Any suggestions as to what may have happened? and what can be done to fix this? Can something on the gas lines be messed around with? I'm thinking of talking to my mechanic but I wanted an opinion. I know there are some really knowledgeable people here. Thanks in advance for your help.

i really never heard of a 310 wild cat motor before but thats what it says on the air cleaner top,the problem i'm having is the car has been parked for a number of years and before that i drove it every place and it ran fine, now after refueling and clean filters and plugs it ran good for maybe 1 hour then started pinging and labor knocking seams to be because of the no lead gas but i'm not sure, i really don't wish to add little bottles of stuff every time i drive to help the no lead gas problem, and don't like the newer electronic controled motors so a engine trade is not in the picture, the car has 28000 miles and rides like a dream, what could be done to make the car run the way it needs to and be able to make long trips like 2000 miles without problems about the new gas, their are many classic cars running around and i don't think they all have newer running gear setups, please give me some help to make my ride run good again, thanks and have a good day.
