recently i was at a friend's house who's car had trouble starting because of a low battery. When giving him a jump he asked me to hit the gas. Does that have any effect? I can rationalize why it would. Yet i see them do the same on the dodge commercial.

My car is running in 3 cylinders because one of the 4 induction coils is defective. Can I drive the car to the repair shop in it's current condition or do I really need to tow it? The repair shop is 3km (1,9mi) away. Will the catalytic converter heat up badly by driving that distance in 3 cylinders?
P.S. The car is drivable but the engine won’t go over 2500 rpm.

One of the springs are weak I think, the truck leans closer to the ground on the front right, but I have been unable to locate a spring? I really do not want to go to the stealership. Could this be caused by a bad shock?

I'm about 680 and they are giving me 11%. My co-signer is way better, so I was hoping that if she was on my loan, I could get a much better interest rate. How do they calculate it?

Every one knows frequent use of the clutch increases fuel consumption. Whats the reason? Isint it the other way round because using the clutch disengages the pressure plate from the clutch plate thus reducing load on the engine, inturn increasing fuel economy??

I've checked alignment, inside the pulleys for burrs, rough spots. No fluid leaking on belts. Could it be a bad vibration damper? damifino @ this point!

Is it a major problem, if my car brakes make a squeaking sound whenever I apply them, or do I need to change the brake pads? It is a Toyota Camry 2004. Would appreciate your answers.

I would like some advice guys. I took my car to walmart & they said my oil was low and asked me to sign a statement saying they were'nt responsible for any damage done to the vehicle previously because of the low oil level. I told the guy that i'd just wait if the oil was low and take it to a mechanic to see what the problem is. "no point in getting an oil change if its just going to leak out" i said. He said, "Oh no its just 2 small leaks so it should be fine". He literally talked me back into the oil change and i signed the waiver.
Went straight home and the car sat for a couple days cause i dont drive a lot. 4 days later i found a bad oil leak and drove straight home cause i didn't want to blow the engine. Next moring I took it in to another shop who showed me that walmart had left the plug lose allowing the oil to spill out. The shop refilled the oil and as soon as i started my car i knew my car wasn't right. Now walmarts wont do anything saying they're not responsible.

I am about to buy a Infiniti G35 coupe 2004 , Is the manual better or is the triptronic automatic better ?

I know "real guys" drive manuals, but i have heard that the triptronics shift so fast that they actually will beat manuals,

Which is faster and better ? Does anyone have good websites that compare and talk about it? any help would be nice
