I don't want complete junk, though. A little beat up and used or a bad color is ok, but I don't want to have to completely rebuild it.

I have a mini van that was just picked up from the repair shop and is loses all charge to stay running. I had to have the battery jumped when it left the shop and it seemed to be fine untell about ten minutes down the road then just out of the clear blue the vehical just stopped everything it was almost like the van had never even been turn on. (no lights, no power, no juice to turn over the engine or anything)

Was told it could be a bad fusable wire that goes to the alternater and battery or from the starter to the battery. Is this possible, or could it be something else?

The vehicle is a "91" Ford Areostar 4.0 engine

Its a nice vehicle but I don't know anything about the safety, and don't know anything about the reliability.

Anybody have any insight? It is Dark Green, Automatic, and has a V6 4.3 Liter engine...

Thanks

It idals ok, but when you put it in gear it starts to shake and jerk, then stalls, once you are over 30 mph it is fine. I have checked all fluids. I can't figure it out. Hopefully some one can give me some suggestions.

The way I understand it is that I would sign over the title, but then they drive/tow it away without officially transferring ownership. Has anyone had any problems with this? Once they take it are they responsible if anything happens?

Today on my lunch break, I was sitting in my car in the parking lot at my job listening to an afternoon radio broadcast with the A/C turned on (because it extremely hot around noon) and I thought about how much gas that I was waisting with my car running. I have heard family members say that the A/C in your car uses up gas. I just want to know if its true! Or if you use the cruise control does it uses up most of your gas as well. I'm guilty of doing both (A/C and Cruise) at the same time.

I got a question about my 2005 Ford Mustang (manual). When I accelerate it sounds like it is revving really high but there is no power it does then when I shift from first to second or second to third (like I should be in a lower gear but i shouldnt be). It just started doing this to me a few days ago, I am not sure what the problem is?

I have a 2001 Honda Civic four door LX vehicle. Ever since I had my car, which was bought new, my side airbag light would come on when people leaned too hard on my passenger door, and when I questioned them on it a long time ago, they said it was something all 2001 Honda's did and not to worry about it. However, the other day my SRS light came on. I look it up in the manual and noticed it had something to do with my airbag sensors. I don't want to take it to the dealership so they can charge me an arm and a leg to fix something like a fuse, so is there any other option? If my SRS light is on, is there a possibility that my airbags will randomly deploy for no reason. I know it may sound dumb, but knowing my luck that would happen to me. If I have to break down and go to the shop, do you know about how much it would cost me? Is there a way to turn it off, so I will not have to keep looking at it everytime I drive? Thanks for any information a head of time!
