I have a 98 prelude.. It idles fine but when the car warms up and you drive for about 10-20 min then when you stop at a stop light for more then a min. the motor wll almost shut off but then go back to normal right away.. this only happens when i stop for more then one min. and it only happens once every stop that's more then a min.

I pulled the distributor on my 97 4.3ltr gmc and like a dope forgot to mark it. Now I am trying to reset the timing but it's not going well. I set the motor at TDC#1 and the timing marks line up perfect. I used a screw driver to turn the oil pump then dropped the distributor back in so that the rotor is lined up with the arrow. Now it starts, but runs rough. I put a timing light on it and it looks like its about 20 degrees advanced. Since the distributor is not adjustable I don't know what to do next. I have repeated this process a few times to insure everything is where it belongs, but it all apears to be right. What should I do?

car died while driving. No warning or anything. checked fuel pump. am getting fuel to injectors. I am not getting spark at plugs or out of the distributor. I replaced distributor and got the same results. I was told by mechanics that they suspect the crankshaft position sensor. How do I confirm this before changing? Has anyone had any similar experience.

It says on the warranty that they're made to last a lifetime, but that they should be replaced after 8 years (which is why I did it). How come I had to replace it after 8 years, but won't need to do it again after another 8 years (or 80,000 miles)?

I bought a 85 mini ram van (cargo version of the caravan). someone has changed the motor in it at some point and missed hooking up the temp sensor, fuel pump hoses where on backwards, and the o2 sensor.

I have all of them fixed except for the o2 sensor there is just a little piece of wire hanging off of it (black) and i have no idea where it is suposed to be hooked up at. there is a gray wire running down to the vicinity of the o2 sensor but i am not sure if it is the right one or not.

The van runs great but when it warms up it has difficulty staying running.

any help i can get getting with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

When are you considered lost while driving, for instance if the Limo driver says he does not see or can not find the address he is looking for, is he lost?

My car got broken into in front of my house and stole all my stereo equipment. I called my insurance and the insurance adjuster came over and saw my car was broken into and keyed around the car. When he saw the car was keyed he questioned me and said, it doesnt say that on here on the report. My mother called it in since its on her insurance plan and said "the car was vandlised and they stole all the stereo equipment, she diddnt specifily say it was keyed. So the insurance guy said they will investigate? So i go to see the police report and it really only talks about the forced entry and what was stolen, nothing about the car being keyed. So at this point i dont know what to do? i dont want to get screwed? what should i do

Over the summer the ac in my car quit working. I thought it was just a leak and that I needed to charge it. Fall was around the corner and I was low on cash so I put it off. Now that it is getting cold I tried using my heater and it doesn't work either. The fans seem to be working. I'm scared because anytime my car breaks it is something expensive. If I could get some advice I would feel better. At least I would have a clue before going to the mecanic

Thanks in advance.

I have 130, 000 miles on my car. I need to change the rear hubs on the back wheels which is probably going to cost me around 400-500 dollars. This needs to be done...because evertime i accelerate beyond 50 m/hr...there is a loud noise coming from the back of the car...extremely loud...like the car is going to explode. This is bad for the engine...or so the firestone ppl say..

what do you think?

My car is currently financed under my mothers name and I would like to trade it in!! I currently drive a 05 Dodge Neon and I have about 18000 miles. I am paying $414/mth and would like to trade it in for a older car (02-04) that is a better car for about the same amount. I figure that if I am to pay so much for a car then it should be worth the money. Is this possible and what do I need to do?

i have been driving for oh i guess 20 years and was wondering about the proper way to do this....you are at an intersection making a left turn....the oncoming car is also making a left turn...do you cross in front of that car turning simultaneously or do you cross behind the car?....i always thought you were supposed to do it behind the car because a signal is only what they intend to do not what they are going to do...so if you cross in front and they dont turn you are at fault if they hit you...am i correct?

I mean, the thing which is the equivalent of a ship's figure head, like a decoration in the middle front of the bonnet. A jaguar car has a little silver jaguar sticking out of it.
Many thanks indeed.
