1996 Civic CX. While idling, such as in a traffic jam, if I let the engine idle the temp needle starts climbing and will keep climbing, would probably go all the way up if I let it. But if I rev it up and keep it revved for a few seconds, it will go up just a bit more, then start going back down to normal. After a few minutes, it starts the cycle again of getting hot. Any ideas of what is causing this? My first thought is thermostat, but would it really only stick at idle then release once the engine is revved?
It has a new radiator and radiator cap from a previous repair, and the fans come on as they should.

Can somebody assist me with possibilities of why my air conditioning, nor my heater will blow through the vents in my car. The air will circulate form the blower vent on the floor, but it will not come through the vents. Can somebody please put me in the right direction. I've been told it may be the switch, but the switches work correctly.

I have a '88 Kawasaki EX500. What is the size of the bolt that holds the shifter in place. It fell off when I was riding and now I can't ride anymore until I get it fixed because my shifter is just hanging. I need it today because I don't feel like waiting 5-7 days for the parts to be shipped to the store.

Look at this pic. It's the bolt that's circled all the way at the bottom

This is the actual pic of the bolt

My front passenger brake is stuck and I was told I need to remove the caliper and get the brake pin back in. There is only one bolt behind the caliper and when I loosen it, brake fluid comes out, so that's not it.

I have a 1999 BMW Z3 with an alarm problem. Every time I turn the ignition, the alarm sounds. It will repeat and continue until I disconnect the battery, then carry on a few more cycles before stopping.

I can drive the car, but I would get some people staring at me! Has anyone had similar issues with BMW alarms? Any suggestions welcome.

I'm afraid when I drive it with the top down it may or may not go back up because the car is so old (i bought it used). How long do those motors last? If it goes, can I put the top up manually and how much would it cost to fix the motor?

Also, the top has two rips in the back by the back window where the top goes down, how much to repair or replace the top?

My mother went into the dealership where she purchased car three months ago for an oil change. the car had 32700 miles on it, and now has 35180. they recommended getting her fuel induction system cleaned without telling her it was going to be $120, also they did a wheel ailgment for 60 some dollars. her bill came to $268 which she paid. I called up complaining they ripped her off due to she just purchased car three months ago and she's only put on 2000 miles. I told them i'd call the state and they gave back 120 of the money. anyway my question is now that i recieved t he money should I still contact the state? I just feel like if someone purchased a car 3 months and 2000 miles later (from the same dealership) they shouldnt have to be getting any "recommended" stuff done already, I know my mother could have just said no, but i'm sure theres many of older people that just get talked into spending more money . this is a certified used vehicle.

A few hours after an oil change on my 2003 Protege, my oil light came on. I was on a country road with no shoulder, just a big ditch, and had to drive a couple miles to find a turn off - as I did, car died. Car towed to nearest Mazda dealer - oil drain plug was missing and all oil lost. That dealer tells me they replaced the drain plug, refilled oil and car started. Ran rough, so they adjusted timing belt and now running fine. I do all maintenance and oil changes with my local dealer, who has agreed to pay costs for other place's work. I don't have car back yet and haven't been able to drive it myself yet. Could someone tell me what I need to be careful of or look for when I get the car back tonight? Is there a possibility of major engine damage or future problems even if car is running ok right now? I was planning a big roadtrip starting this weekend - should I cancel? Thanks in advance for any advice.

My car was hit while parked out front of my house. It is a total loss. So far the guys insurance has paid for my rental car. I got a call yesterday with the estimate of what they are going to give me for my car. They also informed me I only have the rental car for 3 more days!! Is it legal for them to take my rental before I get the check???? Shouldn't they have to pay for my rental until I receive the check to buy another car?

Ok Help me decide what car to get. I am 18 I just graduated high school. No my dad not is buying it, and we are not rich. I will be paying for this car. I have been saving up and will put about 12-15k down. Yeah I have a good job. Ok anyways I was wondering what would be a good car. Honda S2000, Mercedes c230, Cadillac Cts, BMW 325i. You get the point- I want something that is clean, quick, and looks good. I drive a shitter right now and want something nice. I want to keep this car until my early 20s. Anytime I look up these cars I get more confused on what I should get so I wanted to ask people with experience with these models. Also not only the ones I listed but also if you have something that is similar and what I am looking for I would like to hear from you. Thanks

Last night, my friend and I drove up to Wisconsin between the hours of 10:00-3AM.
Here's the situation: I do not have my license. I further more do not have my learners permit. I was joking with my friend and swirved to the left of the road a little, and out of NOWHERE a cop pulls us over. Now as you can imagine, we were freaking out (in a calmly manner) and the cop is asking for license.

So stupid Bryttany (myself) says that I am indeed 16, but I must have left my license at home in Illinois.
Two hours later the cop lets me off with a 121.60 ticket for swirving, and expects me to call him today with my license information or I will receive another ticket for operating a vehicle without a license.

Now--If I don't call him today (because I have no license information to give him, obviously) will I lose my license until I'm 21, or just have this ticket?
Because he still wouldn't know that I don't have my license ( He also has the wrong spelling of my name, and my old address)

I just bought a 2007 Toyota Corolla S and decided to finance it for 5 yrs. Is there any way I can break that contract? I made the mistake of impulse buying the car but what I was really interested in was the 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe. I've had the car for less than a week but was just wondering if there was any way of breaking my contract without being penalized. Please let me know if you have any advice.

She has moved back in with us and needs to use our car on occasion, any suggestions? My company is outragious for her but reasonable for us. So we can't put her back on ours. She has an active driver license but has not had insurance coverage for over 1 year.
