I just installed a 300 watt amp and 10" sub kit in my car. It worked fine for a few days, but now, when I turn the volume up, it cuts out until I turn the volume down. I haven't adjusted any of the settings. Is this a grounding or power issue? Where do i start?

The break pedal is pushing way down in order to stop the car and I assume it is something to do with the master cylinder or a leak in the breaking system. It is a 1995 volkswagen passat, v6, with abs. I am just curious as to the general price range for having a repair like this done, parts and labor. Thanks.

My 2000 BMW 528iT has a big problem. It started with the ABS and "Traction Control" warning lights came ON. Then I noticed the speedomoter started to work part time only. It works mostly when the car is cold. Then it may stop after a few minutes of driving. However, it may work again at any time with no reason. The "check engine" light also came ON and OFF but not sync. with the stop and go speedometer.

My mechanic tried to change the "Cranshaft Sensor" and did not fix the problem. Then he changed the 4 ABS Speed Sensors (one on each wheel). The problem is still there.

What is the real cause of the problems?

Please help.

not firing. Injector test light blinked once at the beginning of turning key over, then went out when continued to turn key over. I have checked the wiring and can't seem to find anything. Changed ECM Board, distributor, ignitor and timing sensor. I have gotten it to crank several times after moving car around and then it will do the same thing again. It may crank 2-3 days then stop again but it has never cut off while running

My husband says that it can ruin my car. That I should never let it get past a quarter of a tank. Does it mess up my engine? Or is he just bull shyting me? And if it does, what exactly does it do to my engine?

I have never bought a car before, but I see those deals sometimes where they offer you 3 grand for a total junker as a trade-in...what kind of scam is that, or is it one? My grandma is thinking of cosigning for me, and she has a 900 credit score (perfect), so does that mean, I have more room for negotiating a deal?

I m a recent college graduate and I make pretty good money, I cant decide how i want to deal with my car situation.

A) Lease a brand new G35, or 350Z or maybe the new TL type S , B) do I buy one of those cars but from about 2003-04, maybe the WRX STI or the EVO
C) buy a an older car, for maybe 15 grand and put 5-7 grand into it to make it as fast and clean. Like a 98ish SC300 or 2000 Audi S4 something

I have a 1990 Dodge Caravan. The tail lights, parking lights and dash lights do not go on. The headlights and brakelights work fine.I know it is not a fuse problem.(replaced those) I got a new brake light switch (it is a little black box with a switch that trips when you press the brakes), so I know it is not that.

How do I test the headlight switch? I don't want to spend more money and not fix the problem.

Is there something else to try? Please don't tell me to take it to a mechanic, if I could afford that, I would have!

I had taken my 98 Chevy car to the dealer 6 months ago for service and it cost me $550 to replace front pads and rotors. They were fine for about a month and the same noise and problem reoccured in the problematic area. I took it in to advise my problem was not solved and they put brake lube on calipers to correct the problem, which was free of cjharge due to not solving the problem in the first place. About 4 months after placing the lube on the noisy caliper, the same noise acted up again and I brought it in for a 3RD TIME IN WHICH the service dept replaced new front rotors and pads free of charge, becuase they stated they may have been defective from Chevy company, and this solved the problem again temporalriy, without me having to pay anything.

Finally yesterady after all of this hassle with me bringing the car in initallly 6 months ago it has started to make rthe same noise again and the dealer never seems to permanenly solve the problem.
Would you demand a refund?
