So I just bought a 2004 Pontiac Aztek with 40,000 miles on it. The check engine light came on after a couple of weeks, and I took it to the dealership, and they replaced the thermostat. Ever since, I have smelled radiator fluid when like I get out of the car, but I took it back again, and they say there is no leak. There is never anything on the ground or anything, and the engine temp stays in the normal range. What's wrong with my new car? Is this something I should be concerned about?

My Chevy C10 shortbed has a 12 bolt rear end geared pretty low. 4.11? I was told by the guy I bought it from that the 283 cci had been rebuilt right before he bought. He only had the truck less than a year and was selling it to me. I have no reason to doubt him, but the 600 Holly, Eldebrock intake, dual exhaust, HEI distributor with racing cam, it just doesn't seem to have any git up and go like it should. At one point, I was talking to Summit Racing tech line about the possibility that someone had put in the wrong torque converter. The tech person at Summit didn't think so. He said since I frequently smelled gas when I pulled in the garage, he thought I should be looking at the 600 Holley as the cause of the problem. He said something about gas leaking into the secondaries and how to close them off. I am not a Carburetor wiz and I couldn't follow his advice. Anything I can do besides save up my money and try a new carb? (Only to find out that may not be the problem?)

My son and I have a difference of opinion that we need help on: First, he is concerned that leaving the car overnight on an incline with the parking brake on will be damaging to the brakes. Second, he feels that leaving it in gear on the incline overnight also will damage the car. I don't understand why either situation would be a problem. Also, the manual says something about depressing the brake pedal with the engine off OR if the fluid is low, it will decrease the stopping distance. I certainly understand the flud low part but not the brake pedal with the engine off - can someone enlighten us?

Today on my way home from a school dance I got pulled over by a cop because I was speeding. I am 17, and I got so scared that i burst into tears because I was really really speeding. THe cop said i was going 56 in a 25 mph road, and said that was enough to take my license away. But he was nice and seemed to feel bad for me because I was crying my eyes out and it was my first offense, and said that he was going to cut me a major break. He said I would not even get any points and he wasnt giving me a "speeding" ticket. WHen I got home i looked at the ticket he gave me & he had marked my charge as maximum speed limits, and he also wrote next to other : "Failure to obey traffic control device." He had said this means that I didnt pay attention to speed limits signs, but he also has written exactly how much I was speeding by. What does he mean, he is cutting me a break? how would he do that? Could he have lied to me to calm me down? if anyone knows what the cop meant please help

I was driving home tonight when I noticed that my lights were getting dim. I seemed to be losing power but I was still driving ok. Then the wipers stopped working and the windows wouldn't roll up and down. The closer I got to home the less power I had. I pretty much just coasted home. My battery light went on at this point. I was going to pull over and walk the rest of the way home and when I braked I got a surge of power. Thats how I made it the rest of the way home. When I turn off the van the lights wouldn't turn off and the van wouldn't restart. My husband disconnected the battery so it wouldn't drain overnight. I guess tomorrow we will have to get it towed. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? By the way, we just replaced the battery a few months ago so I don't think that is the problem.
Thanks

The tongue that inserts into the square hole is stuck. Its the first time Its been put in and there are no levers or anything to release it. It won't budge at all and I can't see the holes in the tongue to put the safety pin in. Could it be that its just pushed too far in? (its a 2006 chevy equinox, stock tow package) Thank you!

Hi I have honda civic 93 ESI EH9
I embarked on the simple process of taking off my shock absorber and installing a adjustable coilover complete kit.

So I undscrew the top 2 nuts easy.
Now the bottom part ..... OMG
as follows
the shock absorber fits with a U shape over the lower control arm and then a bolt is put through them both which screws into a nut that is welded to the outside of the U shape.
Now stupid me did not know this at the time so i tried to unscrew from the Nut end...it was bigger so i though easier torque and grip.
So I turned it off, yea broke the welding and it came off sweet i thought nice im done just remove the bolt now as nothing is keeping it.
Thats the problem... that bolt is stuck and i have no idea why. I have used spring compressors and jack to try and ease the tension of the bolt which works i can see it works but its still stuck... I hammer the thing that the car almost comes of the axle stands but still wont come out? HELP?? I dont understand!!

Sorry, I'm no car expert, but my husband just called and said that the car overheated.

I knew the brake pads probably needed replacing, but we've been very financially tight lately.

Could the car have overheated if the pads were worn out by any chance?

Or should I not worry as much?
Please help - serious answers only.
