Hello! I have a 93 toyota camry with a butt load of miles on it. We've had some problems with it power surging but it seems to be intermitent. We checked many things and finally replaced the fuel filter again and it seemed to fix the problem. We also had a family member tell us that our fuel injectors were very dirty and to run a couple of bottles of this stuff in the gas tank to clean them up. Anyways we did that things seemed to be going well then we let the gas get down to just above empty and filled it and it started power surging again. This is the second time this has happened so closely to after we filled up on an almost empty tank. Does anyone think I might have sediment in the bottom of my tank that is causing this and if so is there any way to get rid of it? Also since its doing it again would we need to replace the fuel filter again even though we just put a new one in last month? Thanks to all who answer!

Our car broke down in Washington (we are Canadian), and we have to leave it here to get fixed. We also must be at home by tomorrow. Is there any rental car company that will allow us to drive one-way from Washington to Canada. Or any other ways we can get home?

I own a 98 isszu rodeo and recently it snowed like 4 inches, when i went out to clean the snow off my car the next morning i started it up first, not realising the wipers were still on.....anyways it stayed like that for like 10 minutes but the blades werent able to move because of the weight of the snow. They arent working at all now, but when i flip the switch i can hear the motor...or something in there running the blades just arent moving. The retaining nuts arent loose and the blades arent frozen to the windsheild. Any ideas what could be wrong with it, and how much its going to cost to fix?

We've replaced the distributor cap, fuel filter, spark plugs, fuel injectors. I don't know what else to do. I would appreciate any advice. My car is a 1993 with a manual transmission.

Just got a 1976 ford f350/ 400cid engine (265,000 kms). Previous owner said it sat over winter and when started had blue smoke out of left side exhaust pipe only.
Pulled out plugs and driver side plugs were badly fouled with oil + crankcase was somewhat overfilled. After cleaning plugs/changed oil runs good but still piles of blue smoke and when reved high some oil on ground from exhaust.
There is a sticker that says the engine was rebuilt, and our neighbor thinks that engine sludge/junk from having it sit too long is the only problem and that running hotter plugs/ +ignition tune up is all it needs.

How do you tell whether this problem is just "crap in the engine" , or worn valve guides/seals, or needs new rings?
I dont want to put hotter plugs in until i know they wont foul up right away.

The truck came with P265/70R17 tires on it. They are ready to be replaced. I want to make the truck look a little beefier even though it is not a 4x4.

What is the biggest size tire that I can put on this truck using my stock rims, without having any problems with rubbing or bottoming-out

I have a 1997 Ford Probe, when ever you first try to start it will turn over then die like a second after it comes on, or it will die when you idle below 1RPM at a stop when in drive so i have to stop and put it in neutral and rev it. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?

P.S. I took it to a local mechanic but his scanner could not get a reading just keep sending back "Error Can Not Communincate."
