How much does your car get after that gas light comes on until it runs out and stalls, assuming you slow down and turn off the ac/roll up windows. And its all highway driving.

Hey

Hubby and I were in the market for a car today. We came across a brand new (last year's model 2006) Kia Sorenta. It is a standard transmission V6. Comes with the sport package (whatever that means) and they said they could sell it to us for 16,000 (sticker said 24,000$) is that a good price? We are very impressed with the 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty and the safety features. Any advice is appreciated thanks!

For a 1999 F-150 with the V6:
Yesterday morning the truck wouldn't start. No sound from under the hood or anything.

I tried jumping it to no avail. Then I took the starter to Autozone and they tested it as bad and sold me a new one. That one didn't work. I pulled it off and brought it back to autozone and it also tested bad. Traded bad starter for a new one (they tested this one and it ran) but when I put it on, nothing happens.

The lights don't dim when I try starting the truck and I'm only loosing about a volt between the battery and terminal. So, I don't think the problem is wiring or a battery, but I could be wrong here.

I would assume the wiring in the starter and solenoid is heavy enough to not be able to burn out due to some other problem. Is this correct?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven

He said he was changing the spark plugs and he strips 1 of them and a piece of metal fell inside the engine. Now the engine sounds nasty and he wants to sell it. Anyone know where the metal might be stuck and what further damage would be caused if just left as is and drivin. How hard would it be to take apart and find the metal? Would I just have to rebuild the engine or replace??

Besides the Ford Crown Victoria or any other ford what would make a good affordable fast safe police car? No suvs or vans just sedans or coupes.

So I avoided his calls. Now what? Would the car be towed by now? I think this was at least 2 weeks ago that he fixed it.

I was driving home from work yesterday and a woman pulled up beside me and told me that I hit her side view mirror. She began yelling at me and telling me that my mirror was turned in (no damage just closed) because it hit hers. The cars behind us began honking because at this point the light turned green and when I began to ask her if there was any damage she yelled that she had my plate number and drove away. I sat there for a moment taking in what had just happened and then left myself. Will I get in trouble if there was any damage caused if she does in fact have my plate number? She never asked me to pull over or for any of my information. As she drove off I wrote down her plate number as well just in case I needed it. What happens if she goes to the police/insurance with this story? Should I contact someone regarding this situation? Thank you.

How do I figure it before actually working with a dealer rep? Do I haggle for the price first, then present the discount? Or is the discount just off the MSRP? Will appreciate the guidance, please!

The added fault code is 'engine coolant temperature sensor or circuit fault'. I was gentle with the new o2 sensor. Did I possibly kink the wiring upon installation of the new o2 sensor? It's a '95 Nissan Maxima. Thanks.

A friend of mine owns a 2003 chevy cavalier. Today she noticed the check engine light turn on and shortly after that, the car jolted and then stalled. When she went to try to turn it back on, it would start, but it wouldnt stay running. Could this be a fuel pump problem or something else? The car has 40,000 miles on it.

I have a 67 Firebird 400. It runs great BUT, when it runs for a bit and reaches operating temperature and then you shut it off and attempt to resstart after it sits for a minute, it will not re-start. There is no fuel and appears to be vapour locked. After it cools down, its starts and drives away. The car seems to run fine until you attempt to re-start it after its sat warm... Any ideas ??

I have heating and ac controls in the middle of the van for passengers in the rear. When I look online at replacement condensers the ones that can handle both dual and regular look much different than what I have. My condenser has the silver tube attached to it. I doubt Ill get any real answers here but maybe Ill get lucky. Thanks, Todd
