Cars & Transportation - 12 April 2007

The top of the tank is all rusted, so the gas spills out, so I need a funnel with a hose that I can stick down past the little trap door and actually get the gas into the tank. Once it's past that, it's fine, it's just that the top of the gas tank has rusted away. It's a 1991 car and I don't want to put money into it. Can I buy such a contraption somewhere and for how much?

I have this 1997 Chevy cavalier with an oil light coming on. The only time it comes on when I come to a stop. When i accelerate and go it goes away. I replaced the oil switch with a new one and light is still coming on. There are no oil leaks of any kind, and I don't believe the oil pump is bad but I could be wrong because it is not making any kind of noises when I'm driving. Has plenty of oil in motor. If it's a pitched wire any ideas to pin point? I had a friend do some work on it and he did mention the oil pan has a small dent and that could be a possibility. Any ideas?

I was buying gas at Walmart and was offered the option to purchase Additech fuel additive which was supposed to clean my engine and help me get better gas mileage. I was just wondering if this was true.

Ok. I have a 2003 Dodge quad cab with a long bed. Its a 2500 Heavy Duty with the 5.7 Hemi in it. About 2 months ago I went and had the stock muffler removed and had a 40 series flowmaster put on it. Instead of having them put the tail pipe back I just had them dump it. I took it to jiffy lube to get the oil changed and I asked the guy if it would pass inspection and he said no because you have to have a tail pipe. Is that true?? I thought as long as it didn't emit too much pollution it would pass. Everything else is the same. It still has the cat they welded the flowmaster on there really good. They used the stock hangers so its not going anywhere. Why would it matter if its going out the back or not??? Thanks

I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus. Why is it that when I go to start my car in the morning it doesn't always start up right away? Also, when I'm idle the car shakes a lot, what is causing that? I had my fuel line and pump changed December 2005. I had my radiator and battery changed right before the winter. I also had an oil change and tune up right before winter began. And my car doesn't always want to start. It is very hesitant to start even when it does. No one seems to have an answer for me as to why it is happening and what has to be done to fix it. Can you please assist me?

85 Chevy Suburban 6.2 Diesel

Got a problem i was looking for some insight on. When i got to start it in the morning, its hard to start, I let the glow plugs cycle through 4 long cylces before i try to turn it over to get the cylinder as warm as i can, but its still a pain to start, always get a time or 2 it starts up but dies, I always get it started, but when i do, it always starts with a high idle, like its gonna run high for a second then idle down, but it doesnt idle down, sometimes gets faster, if i shut it off, it starts right back up and idles fine. Any thoughts on what might cause this?

The other thing is...how much will timing effect my fuel economy?

My daughter has been driving for a few years now and is a very good driver. She handles herself well in town, Chicago toll roads, long trips on interstate, etc. We have no concerns with her driving her 3 younger siblings around. We are at a point where she really needs her own car. She works part time is able to help each month with the cost of a car and insurance (she can help with $150- $200 a month) We like the size, safety factors, and MPG ratings of the 07' Volkswagon Jettas ($20,000). The Jettas seem to hold their value. We are torn between a new one for her (pts. being: lower interest rate, we know how car will be cared for from the start, full warranty, car will carry her thru college and first job) OR a used car with low mileage and a little warranty left on it (how do I know previous owner has taken care of car/is honest about it). The used Jettas that are 2 & 3 yrs. old still sell for at least $15,000.00 & have a higher interest rate. Help me think this thru, NEW/OLD?

One of the alloy wheels, on my car, was mildly dented, when it a pot hole. The tire wheel assembly holds air, and the damage is not readily observable. However, it is sufficient, to keep the wheel out of balance.

It is a small leak on a seam, that only leaks when we park it on an angle/slope. My husband and I are having financial difficulties and aren't sure if we can get it fixed before it is due for its next eCheck (in May). What do you think? Thank you.

My car was parked at my friends yard and his neighbor backed into the side of my car while we were away. When I got home, he had left a note of my car to give him a call to take care of a damages. We got an estimate and called the guy back, but he was very short with me and did not provide me with any infomration regarding this car insurance. He stated he opened a claim with Nationwide but we have yet to be contacted by an adjustor and the accident was 3 weeks ago. Now the neighbor will not return any of our calls. I'm not sure what to do? I need some advice
