OK so here it goes....I bought this car last February and have had nothing, but trouble since then and of course the crappy warranty didn't cover any of the problems. It has all types of intermittent problems and normally sounds like it won't start, but it does. This however is the 3rd time since December 06 that the car won't start...normally it's not a big deal, but this time my mechanic said he can't handle the job because there's one or more things wrong with the engine and it has to be take down in order to figure out what's wrong with it? Arghhh!!!!! Another thing is that no one really seems to be able to fix the actual problem with the car. Some guys have said that it needs a new brain, but when I tell the mechanics about it they look at me like I have 3 heads. I have also been told I should just junk it, but I have put some much $ into it that it makes me sad to think about it. Should I bother putting more money into the car or just bus it for now?

Ihave a 600 watt 4 channel amp, i believe rated at about 200 rms i think... I have a 400 rms watt sub hooked up to two channels bridged. So lets say I have 100 rms pushing the 400 watt sub. However, when I turn up the amp to half its maximum, the sub begins to beat violently and doesnt sound good. I just purchased the sub brand new, and I am waiting for my new sub (matches watts of sub) to come in from ebay. I figure too much power to the sub will cause it to beat like that, but can too little do the same thing?

I've recieved an email from a female who is willing to pay by cheque the full asking price for my car without seeing it or having it checked out. She says that she can't come and pick it up herself, has left no contact number or address. I may be a little paranoid but the alarm bells are ringing.

Got a massive ticket, but not in the state I used to live in. That state said I have to take a defensive driving course or have the license suspended. Since then, I've moved and gotten a new vehicle with a completely different policy. The ticket was never noticed by the ins company back in the old state, and since I've gotten a new license, in the current state, can I not take the class and not have the suspension happen?

My car is a 1992 Astrovan that has a lot of life left in it. There is oxidation on the roof. I am looking for an easy, cost effective way to fix this short of a paint job. I may be looking for another car next year.

Thanks.

I just bought a 1982 Suzuki GS450. It was running, and idling, fine two days ago, the guy even drove it 40 miles to where I am and it seemed to be fine. Today I started it up with the choke fully open and it idled fine for about ten minutes. Then the rpms slowly started going down and eventually it died.

It starts ok, but now it will stay on only if I give it some gas, even with the choke fully open. The guy said he filled up the tank before he brought it to me.

The only difference I noticed was that it is now situated on a slight hill, and before he kept it on flat ground.

What could the problem be?

I have a car with stock speakers and an added on pioneer cd player and subs. One day i was driving and all the speakers in my car stopped working. The subs work fine and the radio still plays cds and sends audio to the subs. The speakers would cut in and back out when i went over a bump or if the sub woofers were on loud enough to vibrate the car. Now they stopped doing that. They're not blown because they sounded fine when they would come back in. Im assuming theres a loose connection or a short in a wire but when i pulled the cd player out and jiggled all the wires it didnt help. Any ideas on what to look for or where to start? Any help would be much appreciated.
