I have been driving my older car. Yes, it's from 1981. I have noticed that when I press the brakes, the pedal is very spongy. I drove the car yesterday and it stops but it takes more time and effort. I was at a stoplight yesterday and I had the brake pedal pressed. All of the sudden, it felt as if it lost pressure. The brake pedal continued to move to the floor and the car began to move again. I then let off of the pedal and pressed it again to build up pressure. The car stopped. What can be wrong? I changed the back brake cylinders a few months ago. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a Lightning Audio 750 watt Subwoofer with the RMS being 150 and it is 4 Ohms. My amp is also Lightning Audio 750 watt with the RMS being 250 and it's a 2 channel. I have the subwoofer bridged and even when it's not bridged the amp still turns off at the same volume level. I have 800 watt wire on everything and I also have a half farad capacitor hooked with it. I don't have any idea why it keeps shutting off because everything is hooked up perfectly. And the amp kicks off when I turn the volume up about a quarter of the way loud...I can't even turn it half way up without the amp not turning off!! PLEASE HELP ME! I NEED MY BASS!

This is the first time I'm selling my car. I have a 1999 Honda Accord with 160K miles. It's been in one accident (Front End Rebuilt). Other Issues include: Missing hub cap, cigarette burns on drivers seat, minor scratches, dirty floor mats. Kelly Blue Book Value is $4330 for Fair and $5050 for Good.

Is it worth investing into the car before selling?

I brought it into a transmission place because i was really having trouble with it and they told me i was 2 qts low. I didnt have any leaks or anything like that. Can i hold Ford responsible? Is it really possible to go thru 2 Quarts in a year?

I have a 2000 New Beetle. When I turn the wheel in any direction, it's began to make a "growling" sound. Not scraping, but also not that typical "power steering" sound you normally hear. Any guesses on what's wrong? It seems to get worse the longer I drive it in a day.

I have a 1998 Honda Accord that dies with no warning. 70 mph on he highway and it may quit. 35 in town and it might die. The problem is intermittent. It starts back up and will likely, not have another problem.

Also, I have no problem starting it, but other people that drive the car complain that it takes several tries before they can get the car started. The key turns and it starts, but as soon as you let the key go to the "RUN" position, it dies... immediately.

Do you think these two issues are related? Does anyone have any history with this car / problem?

I replaced the upstream O2 sensor when the light came on two weeks ago.

Thanks

For some time I have dreamed about sailing across the Atlantic to Spain, then around the med and back. I was wondering what to expect, what would be needed, how long the crossing would take, when it would be best to cross, where the best deptarture and arrival points would be, estimated costs, what would be needed, anchor restrictions, danger areas, etc.

My plans are to make the passage in a 43'-55' multihull setting out in 4-5 years. As far as the boat goes, what should the boat be outfitted with (i.e. reverse osmosis system, back up generator, spare main, solar/wind generator, etc.)

To open the door to a few more answers, what certifications would be recommended to have prior to my trip?

Thank you in advance.

But as soon as I pull out to drive and turn the steering wheel the squeaking starts.What could this be?I cant afford to take it to a mechanic just for them to tell me what the problem is.PLEASE HELP.

The Fuel Pump Cutoff Relay....

The Fuel Pump Fuse...

The actual Fuel Pump?

The fuel filter has already been replaced, but the car is not getting fuel, everything else is fine. Thanks in advance for any ideas you might be willing to share.

yesterday i hit a very big curb and seriously dented my undercarriage support bars. a spot in the trunk actually raised a bit where it hit. There is a box directly under the trunk that took some damage. It is either light metal or plastic. It is about the size of a small shoe box. It has 2 small tubes 1 on each side. After driving it wasnt hot to the touch. What could this box be? Is it safe to take ofrf and reshape? Is it another air filter aside from theo ne in the front? If there was a coolant liquit in it it would haev leaked out.

I have a 99 crown victoria.

Thank you for the help

Could you please present me any book or web site on this topic?

I drive a 2003 Taurus Wagon. It has 83000 miles. I see a lot of marketing for high mileage oil for my car. Is it truly better? With so many brands of oil to choose from, how can I decide? What brand should I use, and why? What about synthetic, is that a good option? I heard that using synthetic can cause a leak because it can tear away a seal or something like that.

Also, should I use 10w30, or what? I know nothing about cars, but I want to make informed decisions. I want to get a good oil for my car, but I don't want to waste money on "high mileage" if it really isn't any different. Can someone please clarify this for me. Thanks
