Hi, i was shock when i got pulled over by a police man at the LAX,he gave me a red light ticket stating i'm 1 second late.I don't think i ran a red light and I have good driving history, never had ticket or accident for the past 13 years. what should i do? will it increase my insurance premium? should i go to court to dispute or just take it and go to traffic school. I'm assuming by going to traffic school can avoid the point and premium increase right???

I have a 1.8 petrol freelander, problem is it runs for about half hour before cutting out. I normally let it wait for 5 minuates before starting it up again, it starts up and then again after 10 mins it starts to cut out again. whilst this is happening i can hear the petrol pump whining away.
What could be the problem?

Was looking at cold air intake, but it seems that only a true high-dollar, filter outside the engine compartment CAI would be effective. Heard that using a "tornado" insert and a regular K&N air filter would do better for increasing performance and mileage than an under the hood CAI pipe and filter. Also have heard tons about "chip" upgrades. I know I want it all, but I truly want to increase performance, as well as mileage, and DO NOT want to have a grapefruit shooter exhaust. Those things are pathetic. You've got to be able to get performance and mileage some other way. I've done brakes, rotors, starters, plugs, alternators, and other minor stuff on cars (can follow Haynes with no probs), but nothing for performance.

For the record, I'd be extremely happy with 2-6mpg increase and 5-10 horse increase, but don't want to sacrifice one for the other.

Also, best brands info would be nice, as well.

Thanks in advance!

This is a duramax diesel 2500

Theres a nipple on the bottom of the fuel filter, when I prime the fuel filter it leaks out the nipple, is this normal for overflow or showing that there is a blockage near the injectors?

My sons Ford Taurus makes a "scraping" sound everytime he hits the brakes, my husband checked them (he has alot of experience with repairing brakes on cars and trucks, but is NOT a mechanic) and said the brakes were fine, he did need to replace a rusted brake line. He also said there was alot of "dust" in the brakes. It is still making a scraping noise, what else could it be? I am gonna take it to Midas. (Hubby is gonna be mad) Any ideas?

Got this module through ebay and the instructions say to install it in the connector of the "intake air temperature" (IAT) sensor. Which is supposely a sensor that has only two wires. It states ONLY two wires, more than two IS NOT the IAT sensor!! Through all my reasearch (local chev dealership, independent mechanic, three parts houses) the best I can figure is this vehicle, that has a 4.2 - L6, either does not have a IAT or it is incorporated in the MAF. Any help is appreciated.
Has anyone had experience with such a module?

I'm looking into buying a used Dodge Ram 4X4, but it has 110,000 miles on it, and it's only $6000, everything is running good, and it's being sold at a dealership so they have a warranty backing it up; what I would like to know is, is the truck or car worth buying if it has over 100,000 miles on it? And how long will it last me??

Since new diesels have gained cats or particualte filters or whatever... they are really choking me. I am a keen cyclist - but also have asthma. When some peenarse in a new diesel something or other company car nails it past me, it smells like chlorine or some acrid acidic gas is coming out... It really screws up your lungs...
The old smoky diesels have no effect - - as if the carbon is retaining this rather noxious gas....

any ideas what is ruining my rides ???

Should I use mp3 player/flash drive instead of cds. I am so sick of my cds getting scratched and skipping. Will I have the same problem with MP3s skipping or sound quality?
