First off I'm a girl. :) My 2.0 non turbo engine has a bent valve. I have been asked to pick up the valve. But I need to know if its for the intake or the exhaust. I know the guy how is going to fix it said he will have to sand down the cylender that it goes in it. The car sounds like it knocking when driving or sitting still. The guy who is going to fix it is at work right now and I'm suppose to order this part right now. Is it an intake or an exhaust valve?

Santos Dumont was the first flight with witnesses, it was recorded, the replica worked (wright brothers' didn't work), Santos Dumont didn't use a catapult, he used the aircraft's own power. Now, why people keep saying that the Wright brothers flew on their own "power"?.. What arguments do you have against Santos Dumont?!..Remember the ones I said before supporting Santos Dumont.

Our Camry had to have the struts and support assemblies replaced at 69,000 miles because it was impossible to hold it on the road. The dealer charged $1050 to fix the problem. My old 1989 Ford truck never had struts or shocks replaced and it had over 150,000 miles. We also have a 1992 Toyota Corolla with 136,000 with original struts. This Camry has had more wierd things happen than any car we've ever owned. The miles on it are not hard--mostly open highway. Has anyone had similar experience with this make of car? We are cosidering changing brands this summer when we buy a new vehicle. I have spent countless hours at the Toyota dealership and private mechanic's garage with this car.

Can they also refuse to sell child tickets on the train, i.e. charge the same for adult and child, when it is half price at the booking office?

Need help starting my 2002 Chevrolet 2500?
Duramax Diesel 2002 Chevrolet 2500

Started the truck this morning, ran for two minutes then died. Has power, turns over and is not giving me any computer codes. No dead fuses either.

A red wire ontop the fuel filter had come undone so I plugged back in. Still won't run.

I primed the and drained the fuel filter a couple times and it is getting fuel.

I have a feeling that the truck won't run because of something to do with the Fuel Filter sensor, an ideas?

I am thinking of getting a Toyota Hybrid but I wanted to know how do they work. I looked on their website but it didn't really help.

A few people suggested the fuel pump, how do I check to see if this is bad?

A member of my family has done this. Anyone offer any advice. Does the water float in which case replacing the fluid in the reservoir might be ok or is it a complete drain and flush?

Okay here's the story. Last week my intrepid started jumping when it shifted. So, I put tranny fluid in it. As well as the lucas stop leak stuff in the white bottle. It all came out. Now, when I start it it will drive for a few seconds, then won't drive, but the engine still runs. It goes fine in reverse though. Also, I put some seal leak stuff in it, and it came out. Is this something I can fix myself, and what's wrong.

I have a 1999 Corolla and im on my third set of wheels and tires so I know that isn't the problem. I have all new shocks and my current tires are balanced. What else could cause my steering wheel to vibrate at anything above 45mph? Thanks!

Someone told me that a problem similiar to this happaned before on the truck, and that the dealers had to replace the fuel (filter?)sensor. Any ideas?

Hybrid cars are better on gas. Just keep the body styles that we like but outfit the cars with hybrid engines. Continuing to make normal, poor mileage cars is like continuing to make VHS movies in the age of DVD players.
