I have a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. The light on my gages wont turn on when I turn my headlights on. I checked the bulbs and they seem to be working fine so now Im trying to locate a fuse to see if that is the problem but I cant find one. Dont know what the problem can be or where the fuse is located. Can someone help me?

Here is the problem : 1993 Buick Regal , it's a 6 cylinder, 3800 and only has 108,000 miles on it. Runs beautiful. But when it gets down to about 25 degrees at night, it will (once every few weeks) idle fast when started (but it will NOT idle down). In fact, if I kick the gas pedal it idles even faster. If I turn off the engine and restart the car, the problem is gone. I have had 2 mechanics look at it and a few people on the Internet have offered suggestions. NO, it is not the Air Idle Control(already replaced), the ECM computer (already replaced), or the Throttle Position Sensor (already replaced). All the wires have been checked, the PCV has been replaced and there are no vacuum leaks. Also, the ohm settings on the Throttle Position Sensor have been checked. This problem never happens when it is real cold outside or if the car is in a heated garage. This is starting to piss me off. Someone must know the answer to this. Please help!

I want to be a FA, but I have no idea where to start. I've searched the web, found some schools like: http://www.inflightinstitute.com/#

-I've read that all airlines do their own training, I am wondering if schools like this are a waste of time, money, etc?

I'm a petite female, 115lbs, 5' 2", I've read that height may be an issue as a FA, but I have been a truck driver for the past 7 yrs & am able to perform ALL aspects of the job, so this isn't an issue (for me, hopefully not for an airline *AL's* either). I deal with rude and pushy shippers & receivers all the time, handle things great & when I leave it's over. Prior, I worked customer service jobs, so I'm adept in this area as well.

The thing is, I have no idea where to start, as to get my foot in the door to be a FA.
Where do I start, which Co's are best IYO, what do AL's look for, what can I do to 'up' my chances of getting hired,etc. I live near Dayton, Oh. All info and anything else you can think of is appreciated.
Thanks!

I have a 1995 Ford Windstar that has broke me financially in repairs and now I have to get a new (used) Van. I would love to have a Honda or Toyota but can't afford them. ( They hold their re-sale value to high for me). So, I have to look for a North American manufactured Van. About a 2005 or 2006. Does anyone have any recommendations, I have lost confidence in the "big 3" and would welcome any suggestions from someone who is pleased with their choice. Serious answers only please.

Are there any "Black Holes" with the OnStar system? I would bet there are areas that don't connect.

Today most vehicles that use to be made for heavy off road use have a looks that make me sick! They all look like a vehicle for soccer mom who want to look cool. They look so fragile. I miss old school jeep with "dull" color and cover with mud such as CJ, Willy, wrangler until mid 1990's, etc.. Especially one with various parts and custom rebuilt. .

However I don't know that much about vehicle. However I've never seen any modern jeep being used off road. So I'm wondering if my judgement is correct or if those modern jeep fool me with their looks?

I was going thru some used cars website yesterday and came across an awfully low priced car. Though I was a little suspicious, I wrote to the seller and we are corresponding back and forth now. He is not giving me much details of the car and he has said that he is going thru a divorce and is currently out of US. So he asked me to give my full name and address so that he can open up an escrow for this transaction thru Fortis Escrow in US ( in Miami). What should I do? Should I just drop this or does he seem reliable? Fortis Escrow doesnt even have offices in US as per their website.

Actually, I'm not even sure I'm getting one. I was driving with an adult and I get to an intersection and the light turns yellow. And the adult begins to scream for me to stop. But by the time I stop, I'm way passed the intersection lane and just went on before the light turned red..but there was one of those cameras there and the adult was making a big deal about how I was going to get a ticket or something...Can someone help me understand?

I have a 1998 Toyota Avalon XLS it comes with 6 speakers and a subwoofer. The sound system is rated at 170 watts. However I like listening to rap with a lot of bass and the subwoofer it comes with doesn't throw off as much bass as I want. So my question is, if I buy an additional subwoofer to put in the trunk maybe what else would I need? And would it over power the music, I mean I like a lot of bass but I still want to hear the music. Thanks!
