Okay had a heating problem before and it seems like my car doesn't want to stay cool, and i have done everything to make it work, i just replaced the radiator, and i had the fans repaired so they can come on but Im wondering if the water thats coming out of the overflow is because i have water in the reservoir instead of a mixture of antifreeze, is it because the water boils at a lower temperature. I have a new radiator, new reservoir, new thermostat, and my fans work. but i have it to where there are always on, because i couldn't find a fan harness for my car, but i doubt that the fan running is the problem cause it is cooling the car, and today it was hot outside and i was in stop and go traffic, for a while, and im wondering did that have an effect on the heat in the car, and should i just use antifreeze instead of the pure water. Someone help or could it be the worst a blown headgasket but i dont have signs of one yet at least i think. So someone please help me thanks!!!!

It seems Volvos and VWs (Passats and up)
are cars that liberals overwhelming buy.
Do you agree with this observation?

I need some insight... anyone ?

p.s. thanks in advance for any help!

I have a 2007 1200R sportster. I have about two thousand miles on it and already I have had two oil leaks, a bad nuetral indicator switch, and now it is in the shop having the fuel pump rebuilt. Without hearing from the usual Harley bashers, I was wondering if anyone else has had this many problems with a new bike. Thanks

I have a 97 cavalier that I unfortunately totalled, but the motor is still good. I am looking into purchasing a 2001 cavalier without a motor and hoping to put mine in it. I just dont wanna buy it if it turns out they arent able to be swapped. Both cars are manual transmission... Thanks for the help in advance!!!

Yesterday I was accelerating and my truck reved for too long (its automatic), then it finally changed gears, but now everytime I try to accelerate it kind of "chugs/slips/jumps around"..

My dad thinks it is a fuel pump problem, anyone else think they know what it might be?

Not a belt problem, we checked those.

(There is also a squeak when its just idleing, and when you accelerate the squeak gets louder)

I have a auto. 1990 Chevy Camaro, I swapped the 305 for a carbureted 350, and everytime I drive it for more than about 15 min. it starts to overheat. It usually overheats the most when I'm in stop and go traffic but it also overheats when there is no traffic... it just takes longer. The water pump is good, I flushed the radiator, and I have a 160thermastat in it. But I am almost positive that the timing is off slightly because when we put the new engine in I didn't have a timing light, I know that the chevy 350 should be timed at 4 degrees before tdc but the guy that put my engine in also put in a "mild cam", and I don't know exactly what timing it should be at with a mild cam so I just timed it the best I could by ear, also at least one of the spark plug wires has a bad connection. Could this be causing it to overheat? What should the timing be for a chevy 350 with a mild cam? thanks

It's an 01 Tacoma. Never had a single problem and took it to get buffed and detailed. Picked it up after the shop closed and it was sputtering and check engine light came on. Drove it 25 miles and it didn't change. Any ideas?
