Cars & Transportation - 5 August 2007

My G/F's car A/C has been acting funny. When i slow the car down the temperature of the air goes up and get gets warm. Therefore it warms up at every stop light. I put in some R-134 and yeah that made the air cold but it still warms up at when i drop below 5 mphs. I hope its not the compressor.

Anybody have any thoughts?

The Car is a 2001 Mazda 626 v6 if that helps.

I have a chevy 305 V8 in my '76 nova. i recently bought a holley 600 cfm carb to step up from a 2 to a 4 barrell carb. i will be purchasing an intake manifold shortly, as well as an inline fuel filter, which my mechanic said i would need.

but what threw me for a loop was that he also said ill need to purchase a different distributor advance kit for the car, because with the new parts on it, the engine is going to advance differently.

now ive been looking on summit, but i dont know the difference between different types of distributor advance kits, like the springs, or curves or whatever. also, the product descriptions say they are to make it stock again. why would i want a stock one? my mechanic said ill need a diferent one.

im just lost because i didnt think i needed anything besides the carb mani fuel filter and air filter.

Isn't bad for the v6, more so a v8 engine?

When you take off with a stick shift car and right after, the car gets a little shaky, that means i am suppose to let the clutch out sooner or should i press the clutch in again when this happens?

my 96 lesabre's HVAC works fine - until you accelerate. the air is then directed to the floor, and after you maintain that engine speed for a while, OR lef off the gas, the air will then return to the vents.

Could my A/C not working be because The engine runs really really really hot all the time and the thermostat is bad and a radiator hose was leakin coolant while driving and needs replaced (im gettin it all done friday including spark plugs and wires) Also is there anything else to look at as far as why the engine runs sooo hot?

I have nitrogen in my tires right now, and I don't want it anymore. I travel constantly for work, and it's hard to find places that have nitrogen. While my tires leak more slowly now, they do leak a bit. When I called my tire place to ask them about deflating them and reinflating them with air, they were really awful and condescending. They brushed me off with a "just use air". I just want to make sure, without having to deal with those jerks again, that that's right. Can I just use air in them now without getting all the nitrogen out?

Ok, maybe I was a little over the top with my last queston. I am very very cautious and respect the power of this bike. Being my first bike, I have no problems with the power. Im not going over 70mph highway, and have not took rpm's past 4g's. I am going into turns slow and driving responsible. Why was everyone so down on this being my first bike? Im a big guy, and the bike feels so comfortable and fits me well is the reason I bought it, not the top speed. Any thoughts? Why do people have such a problem with 1000 and 1400s? It only go's as fast as u want it too!!

I own a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 and it is black and gray, so its almost impossible to keep it clean. My friend owns a 1998 Suzuki GSX-R600 and he said he washed his down by spraying it with a water hose. I always thought you didnt want to get your engine wet, but he said he did it and it was fine. So I was wondering if it was okay for me to do this. If not, then what is the best way to keep your bike clean? Any certain products?? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

I own a '99 Toyota Camry. On my way to work yesterday, my battery discharge warning light suddenly came on...My air condition light started blinking, and I turned the AC off. I immediately drive back home, and borrowed my fiancee's car.

I know that there are several different possibilities, but what is the MOST COMMON cause of a battery discharge light? I can still turn on the ignition and run the engine, but the light remains.

I just want to arm myself with some information before making the trek to the repair shop.

Thanks.

When the engine is cold, and occasionally when it's warm, I will push the start button and it will click then short out. All the lights on the speedo go dark. I wiggle some wires around the positive end the lights come back on. I do this a few times until it starts up.

This has been a problem following the last two times I took the bike in to the dealership for service. Last time it happened, I took it in and they said the negative cable was loose.

This time, though, I've checked all the cables and they're all tight.

What would cause my bike, upon hitting the start button, to short out like that? Why does wiggling cables/wires fix it, while no cables appear to be loose?

Thanks in advance!
