What are the symptoms of a bad pickup coil? My car is hard to start and idles rough, other than that, it does fine. I have replaced almost everything else. It is a 1989 thunderbird.

I have a 99' Cadillac Deville. It is hard to get it to crank in the morning, but after i get it to crank once, it will turn over for the rest of the day, as long as i don't let it set for to long(6 or 7 hrs.) The lights don't dim when i try to start it. The battery is good. I don't know if it could possibly be the Inadvertant Power Relay because the inadvertant power relay clicks when i try to start it, but iam really not sure what that is/or what it does. All the lights, and windsheild wipers work. I don't think it is the starter or ignition switch because it starts fine, and runs fine after I get it started atleast once, and don't let it set for long. Any Suggestions would be very helpful, and if anyone has any information on the inadvertant power relay i would very much appreciate it. Thank You

I have a 95 Taurus GL 3.0L V6. Check engine light is on, and I went to Auto Zone to get a free diagnostic testing done on it. The reading came out as:

565-(Canister Purg Circuit Fault)
327-(EGR Circuit Voltage Below Minimum Voltage.

I really need to know what I can do to fix it. I also need to know how much it may cost, and whether or not it would be an easy DIY job. Thanks in advance.

i rear ended somebody and bent by where my power steering pump is. It leaked power steering fluid and there is a leak somewhere. I don't really care about power steering. Will I do damage to my car driving without fluid or will it just make it harder to turn.

So my car leaks a good amount of oil and is getting rather low, but I'm out of time and can't really take it to get checked out yet. My engine is fine otherwise I know, because I got it inspected only a couple weeks ago. Is it alright for me to just keep the oil leveled out for a few until I can deal with the problem?

damn, i keep seeing these answers by 'dodge-man', they make me sick... owns a shop... in my line of work the people who run independent shops call me for help, they ask some of the dumbest questions of all... yet this guy throws that title around, like it means something, the worst part of it is, i have seen a correct answer ignored because it didnt involve the words "i own a shop" and his retarded answer did.

so my question is, do you have to deal with the "independent professionals"? if so, do they make you look dumb?(with the infinite knowledge a backyard wrench attains in life) or do you joke about the unfortunate bastard that took the car to an independent to save money?

Hi. I'm a BMW fan, so I don't know a lot about american cars and engines in general. But I find it funny that the m3 with the 3.2 Liter engine, beats the mighty Corvette c5 (exception Zo6) with a 5.7 liter engine. Thats weird if you ask me. 0-60 times are faster in a m3 and also top speed without the limiter. And the corvette has more HP, 345 vs. 333hp for the m3. The weight shouldn't really be an issue on this one, because the m3 isn't lightweight at all. Even at fuel economy and handling the m3 is superior, based on my research. Not to mention the interior. The m3 is amazing when it comes to the interior. I got a chance to drive one, and Its my favorite car.
I wanna see what some corvette fans have to say about this. Thanks

I am thinking of purchasing a horn for my truck and have no idea how to wire it in. Do I need to go through the fuse box? I know i can ground it out on the metal anywhere on the car, but where do I put the Positive wire?

My car is leaking a good amount of oil. I know the engine itself is in fine condition because I just had that all checked a couple weeks ago, so I'm guessing just a seal or something needs to be fixed. The thing is I am out of town and don't have access to all my money. What should I expect do pay for this?

I recently bought a 2007 Mazda 6 5-door and it came with a 6-disc cd changer. the instruction manual said that it plays mp3s so i made a cd full of mp3s and couldnt wait for my car to be filled with 700mb worth of mp3 x 6! however, wen i put the mp3 disc in, the cd player would not play it. i could see it stuck on track 1, and time passing by, but there is no sound whatsoever. how do i make it play mp3s?? is there a special program you have to download, etc?

*i know it plays burned cds because i burned a couple songs on a blank cd (but made it a 12-track audio disc)

any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

is there in a big 747? To move all the flaps and rudder, and anything else is moved by the fluid. Reason I ask is a few years ago I was sitting right behind the wing when the flaps were moving. It looked like nothing but hydraulic lines there.

I posted a question earlier about this. I am just not satisfied with the answer. 1998 Ford explorer starts jerking and bucking when accelerating from about 45-65 mph. I am having zero lights or codes. What is the problem? I have always had rice burners and the Ford seems less mechanic friendly to me. Anyone out there ever experienced this problem? The lack of lights and codes has me boggled.

Please let me know which car dealer you were from.

Also let me know "out of how many people" were you able to sneek in additional profits for commission, on their contracts?

For Example:
1 out of 4 people you were able to sneek in additional accesories or insurances or even increase your negotiated price.

This is for a research paper. Please let me know.
