i was out riding today, and i wasnt on full throttle or nothing, and it made a wierd sounds and died on me. i was going about 30mph, and there was a litttle mud on it but i dont think it over heated :-/... when i try to start it with the e. stary, it sounds like the gear is jsut spinning. i dunno if its catching or not, but if it is, the engine had NO compression. i dont think the piston blew tho, seeing that it was ridden very seldomly... any hints or ideas guys?

I have a 1996 Pontiac Bonneville (not a supercharger) I have been having a strange noise coming from the right side, sounding like a pully getting ready to freeze. I went to town and everything was fine, got home and the car will not turn over. Turn the key and you hear CLUNK and nothing, no attempt to turn. I checked the starter, its fine so I removed the belt and it started it up no problem. A/C has been out for 2 years and assuming that the compressor pulley has froze up on me preventing it to turn over when trying to start. all other pulleys spin with no problem, so how do I go about getting the a/c pulley freed so I can drive my car.

Ok, so my friend recently replaced the brake pads on his wife's Rav4 and noticed right from the beginning that the brakes felt really soft and that the car was barely braking to the point to where he has to reapply the brakes then the car stops. So he is wondering what needs to be done. He claims to have bled the brakes and re-installed everything correctly, but still has problem...

I'm selling my 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and i'm not sure what a good price would be. I was going to sell it for $2,000 but It might too much because it has 145,667 miles on it. I recently got the speakers replaced and everything else runs fine. What would be a good price for it ??

1995 LT1, no major mods

over the course of the last few weeks, my car only starts half of the time. when i try to start it, there is no hesitation, no noises whatsoever, almost like the battery is completely dead. the other day, i started it up fine, drove about 3 houses down, and it completely shut off. again, no hesitation, no noises at all. thank god it was only a few houses down. the car wouldnt start for the rest of the day. just for giggles, i tried starting it up yesterday, and it started BEAUTIFULLY.

what would cause it to start only half of the time, die out, and do all of this with no noise. i have a newer battery and starter, and just got new spark plugs. maybe vats or mas?

I looking for a newer 1997+ sportier car with around 50k miles or less. Somewhere in the price range of $15k-$17k or less. Something reliable, decently quick, fun, and good looks.

I dont really want old early 90's unreliable cars such as old 300zxs, 3000gts, stealth tt's etc, since thats what I have now (1991, 300zx tt, 90k miles)

But have looked at things like rx-8, boxster (worried about costs of maintenance), c230 kompressor, eclipses, trans am, camaro, srt-4, etc.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Ok, so heres the thing, I just got this car from my cousin and the air does not work. He said that one day the air was on heat and he wanted to change it over to cool, he flipped the switch real hard and it kind of sounded like it might of cracked or something. Well now it only blows out hot air won't blow out even cold air and so the air conditioner does not work.
Could someone tell me what could possibly be wrong and if I might be able to fix it on my own? Or atleast have my husband fix it.

By the way it is a 1991 Hinda accord I believe an EX. Not quite sure on that but I could get back to you if you need to know.

The fan is still not working even after I changed the coolant temperature sensor and the fan relay. When engine is running I unplugged the coolant temp sensor and the fan went on. So, I know the fan is working, just not when it is supposed to. Please help, thanks!

Have just put a radiator in a 97 dodge ram. The problem is, I cant seem to get the transmission cooling line hooked back up to the radiator. It pulled off with vice grips, but now it will not push back on. Am I doing something wrong and if so how do I get the piece back on?

Used the Costco Auto Buying Program and went to the assigned dealership to buy a new car. Due to program, dealership can only charge me in between invoice and sticker. I had figured out the car could not cost more than sticker and added tax and $1000. for fees, but the dealership kept coming up $10,000. higher. What are all of these fees, and how can I figure what they are going to be before I go to the dealership, so I don't get robbed?

i have heard that people put water over their engines. is this true and safe? as in warm in winter to preheat it and cold in summer to cool it down or if overheating.
i thought it would be really dangerous with all the wires and connectors inside there, i mean the battery cant be safe to get wet can it? any info on what actually happens if i headr wrong would be great.
