I have a 1981 Trans AM Turbo in need of a new engine.Is a Chevy 350 or a 400?
Someone has been telling me that the 400 has heating up issues. And is a 350 with a roller cam going to out perform a 400?
and which is the more reliable and easier to mantain of the two?
Thanks

My 1991 Honda Accord recently starting flashing the seatbelt alert light on the dashboard, and making a beeping alert noise, even when my seatbelts are fastened. My seatbelts are fully functional, and it seems to be a problem with just the seatbelt alert wiring. I would like to disarm the alert by disconnecting wires going to the seatbelt alert box, however, I cannot seem to find a wiring schematic that would tell me which wires to disconnect. Does anyone know which wires I need to cut? Or is there another simple solution to my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the beeping noise is really starting to get annoying!!! Thank you very much!

Or can leaks be fixed by replacing individual parts? It runs just fine when it has transmission fluid in it. But it is rapidly leaking. I do not have the money for a whole new transmission - plus it's ten years old and not worth the $ or effort.

Exactly as the question states. My parents are handling the situation becuase i'm overseas right now. But I guess because the check engine light doesn't come on it can't pass the state inspection. Is there any type of fuse or something that might be blown? I've been told it could just be a light bulb too but changing the bulb requires paying for the work to tear out and put back in the dash board. Anyone have some help?

I have a 1999 Ford Taurus and my radiator cap is nowhere in sight. It may not even be present. In that case, is it safe to assume that my radiator has sufficient liquid levels if I still have plenty of fluid in my holding tank?

Hi, My warranty just expired and wouldn't you know that the front defrost just quit working. The heater and the rear defrost work just fine. I thought it may be a fuse? but I looked in the manual and there is no fuse for the front defrost... Any ideas on how to fix it :) or what I can do to defrost the windows in the mean time? Thanks

I'm looking at a Peugeot 307 estate, top spec and it's an ex-mobility motor. It's 3 years old with 24'000 miles and it's £5474. When I look at other 307's with similar spec, they are about £1000-£1500 more. Why is this, it's the first time Ive ever thought a car was too cheap.

i have a project to do on what cars are "made in the USA". The cars must be assembled in the USA with 75% USA parts. If they do they will have a sticker on it that says Made in USA. I am just asking about Toyotas but any other brand would be very helpful as well. Thank you

Let's take the semi-sucessful Pontiac Aztek for example. I think I know how the whole SUV started. The GM designers were all talking, and brainstorming, when one said, "Hey, how about we make some junky SUV with a back end that looks like a deformed rhombus, and for the front end, we'll just smash two cars together and go home!" The double grille created a new benchmark for incredibly ugly, dumb grille. (A Title Previously Held By The Ford Edsel) Also, Pontiac spelled it with a k, bekause spelling words inkorrectly is kool, I guess. In conclusion, Pontiac started where Cortez finished by taking the Aztec's last remaining treasure: their name.

My beloved Alfa, which is in immaculate condition, needs a new engine. Can anyone help? I've seen very similar cars for sale @ £2500. Thing is, the car's been off the road for 4 months, & I had to phone the guy at the garage where the car was towed to obtain the mileage to declare it off the road, [Sorn Certificate]. Now, here's the classic, he was supposed to be sourcing a new engine during this time, now he's saying "Don't scrap the car, I'll take it off you for £50, as I might be able to to put an Engine in it". I suspect he's found an engine, and he's been waiting for me to come back to him about this. What do you think I should do????

I can drive in neighborhood. I am comfortable as long as i am driving below 40 but as soon as i have to speed i am scared. I can’t change lanes and can not go at all on freeways. This is really a big problem for me, I have to ask rides or take bus to work which is time consuming and embarrassing. I am really ashamed of myself. This is really taking toll on my life and also on my marriage. My husband doesn’t like to drive me around and he thinks i am too dependent on him . I need to change this . Please help

It has been in the twenties for the last few days here in Oregon. My car has been outside, and I have not started it since Sunday. I tried to start it today. It attempted to start at first but immediately died. I tried starting it again and it just cranks and cranks but never turns over. I have decent mechanical abilities, so I just want to know if anyone has had the same exact problem. Please don't suggest I check the gas level, etc...preliminary issues have already been checked. Thanks in advance.

i have a 98 Contour and some days while i'm driving it seems like its skipping in and out of gear and then when its out of gear its straining but then engine is till spinning and goin up and then it suddenly jumps back into gear it w/ a loud knock and everthing is normal driving. i believe its stall in and out of gear. it seems like the only time it does it is when the car has run for a while. i know it has to do something w/ my transmission but i'm not sure what part of it.
