Cars & Transportation - 26 July 2007

Every time i go through a drive-thru or just let my car sit in place for more than a minute or so at a time, the hot/cold sensor moves up towards hot, it doesn't go into the red zone, but up enough towards hot to make me worry. By the way i just had the engine coolant flushed out, and completely refilled....any ideas why it might be running hot when i just sit still??

...Besides my nickname in high school? My 2006 Explorer 4x4 with that beautiful 3-valve V-8 and 6 speed is great, but it started to bump forward a bit when I came to a stop. They replaces some throttle body thingy. What does that do, and is it expensive to fix? I was covered under warranty this time, but I am concerned that it may happen again out or warranty since it is only a year old now with 26K miles. Any Ford guys know if there are any known issues with this? Thanks.

Does do any damage to the transmission? I have heard it does, but I am not sure.

Number seven is not a factor of 360. Inevitably there will be an error in the pitch of the spokes. This will affect the balancing of the car at higher speed. An unavoidable error can be corrected by adding a balancing weight. But why this intentional error?

Autozone let me use their scanner. It showed code PO420. They said it could be the O2 sensor or catalytic converter or even a vacuum leak. The O2 sensor is $108.00. I hate to replace the O2 sensor and find out it's the converter. Also there are two O2 sensors. One before the converter and one after. Any suggestions?

I have a '99 Suburban with about 155,000 miles on it. I'm currently using a 10-30 designed for use with older engines. Problem is, my mechanic said he thinks a rod is starting to go bad, and suggested going to a straight 30. I respect his judgement; hes knowledgeable and honest, but I just feel funny about using a single weight oil as opposed to a multi. Should I stay with what I have, or follow his suggestion-or is there a better option?

My parents have 5 cars, my sister has 1 car.

My dad has 2006 Chevorlet Chorvette and a 2007 Mercades SLK and a 1971 Ford Mustang 429 Cobra

My mom has a 2006 Porche Cayenne and a 2007 BMW M6 Coupe ( shut up the convertible was $12,000 more haha)

My sister has 2007 Nissan 350Z Roadster GT

They're all insured in my name, and they let me drive them, my sister occasionaly lets me drive her car. For my 16 birthday my dad gave me $40,000 to buy a car, but I much rather go to other countries. I feel like I need more cultural experiance.I want a 2008 BMW M3, and really want to go on trips to other countries. Please decide my fate!

Any idea what could cause this. Just when I'm about to make an appointment at the shop it starts working for a good week then goes out again. Guess it's time to take it in. I'm guessing a loose wire.

When shifting gears in a car with automatic transmission, does it protect the engine to come to a complete stop before shifting, or is it okay to shift while the car is in motion?

I plan to buy a car within a year. However I haven't driven a car in 2 yrs. I have a valid license but i have been able to get along without a car so far. Some have recommended that I buy a used car because of my inexperience. I thought that I would buy a slightly used care next year, a 2006 or 2007 model (Nissan Altima, Honda Civic, or Toyota ), and rent a car from zipcar to practice on in the meantime for a few months. What do u think?

My dad has a radio in his garage and some old 6x9's. He ask me if I had an old 12volt power source for it or something. I do, I just don't know if the current being pulled by the stereo will kill the power supply.

Anyone have any experience? I have two years electronics experience I just don't see and power rattings on the unit. What amperage are we walking about?
