i'm selling it to a private party, i.e., a complete stranger who answered the ad i placed. in cases like this, what is the best way to accept payment? asking the buyer to pay $10000 in cash seems a bit implausible, but i'm afraid that if i took a check and it then bounced, whoever "bought" the car would be long gone. how should i go about this?

Make sure all fuses are good. Check the cable to see if it is connected to the throttle body and to the cruise control servo. Check to see if the cable is faulty. The switches on the steering wheel are prone to failure.

I have checked fuses and they are a GO
But How exactly do i check the throttle body and servo?

My pre-owned car has a smell of cigarette smoke on the steering wheel from the hands of the previous owner. Is there any way to remove this odor? I've tried sanitizing wipes, but it is still there.

Last week someone keyed my car & I found more marks today! I'm pretty it's someone who goes to school with me. It's my second week driving to school and I'm already dealing with some bs. What should I do? I want to tell my school but I know they won't do much about it.

Is there anyway I can catch the person who keyed my car?

Auto Zone gave me a diagnostics code of P0406 which says that the PCM has determined that the voltage signal from EGR sensor A is too high for the current engine operating conditions. (my check engine light went on this morning after about 1 minute of starting my car)

It says probable causes are either a failed EGR Position Sensor, an open or short circuit condition, a failed EGR Valve, a Failed EGR Pressure Sensor, or a Failed EGR Position Sensor.

How do I know which one it is? Is there something I can do to narrow down what the issue is?

I took it by the Hyundai dealer today and he gave me an appt for next monday. They told me it's okay to drive but the airbag wouldn't deploy if in got into an accident. Is this a normal occurence from time to time with airbags?

Ok. I was driving in the city and next thing I know I felt it stop. I was coasting... so I pulled into a parking lot. I tried to start the car again. It roughly tried to turn over. I opened the hood and looked inside. You could see where oil splashed back at the engine. I have gas.... I did not see any idiot lights before this happened. Could I have just busted a line? It was not overheating. I am going to have my sisters ex boyfriend look at it this evening hopefully. He is a mechanic. But I was just wondering if anyone had an idea what it could be. It is a 1997 Honda Accord. I am hopeing that it tries to turn over is a good sign... but it is kinda rough... like it catches for a second... then dies. I was thinking a cloged fuel injector or something. Admittedly it has needed a tune up for a while and I have neglected it. My plan was to get it done in May when I finish paying for the car ( I bought it used obviously.) HELP!!!

I bought a hot tub. I have a in dash cd player, and two car speakers. I want to install them into a shelving unit near the hot tub for music. Is it possible to use these outside of a vehicle. Can I power them using an outlet? If so, what do i need to buy in order to make this work?

This is a modified version with the tail logo flipped upright.

This one has an extra red stripe running above the wing.

Finally, this one has completely changed the red theme.

as i drive down the road my rpm needles wiggles all over the place it doesnt go all the way into the redline area thankfully. it doesnt rev up either, it was dying when it would go to zero but i had the coolant temp sensor replaced and it stopped dying, but it stills wiggles like crazy. it also has probs statring as it will start and die for a while, then starts up. the biggest problem is that it only does this sometimes then will run fine sumetimes.
