A box of crayons melted through a bag on the front seat of my Honda Pilot. I got the wax off, but there's a blue stain left on the beige leather seat. Anyone know what I could use to try and remove it?

I have a '99 Trans Am, and in the passenger side headlight, it sounds like the motor is TRYING to open and close it, but it doesn't move. Is the motor broken, or could it be something else? Oh, and the other headlight works just fine.

Am getting a Corsa Capitol which is the same as a Corsa Club but with a 'plus pack' included at a good price. The extras are alloys, paint, cruise control, fog lights, which dont come on the basic Club model. However, insurance companies dont have th option for the Corsa Capitol, but the dealers do advertise the car as a Capitol limited ed, so technically its not modified from original spec.... the limited ed car will be clearly worth more than the base model with these extras.. i just dont want to be left out in the cold should the worst happen- *apologies for my ramble- its confusing!* pls help asap :)

I have a 95 s10 blazer making grinding sound when first started. It also keeps making the grinding sound when driving after first start, but stops after less then a minute of doing it? Then when it seats for some time, and it does it over again. The trans seems strong to me, so i don't think its the problem. I was told maybe alternator or power steering going bad?

Thanks

Hi, this is an ongoing problem!!!

I've a 1972 Renault engine. The distributor required replacing as the old one needed reconditioning (it had a short on the points) and since then I can't get it started. I've cranked the engine manually till piston 1 is TDC and aligned the distributor to fire spark 1, but all I get is the sound of the engine attempting to fire...then nothing. Firing sequence on the cap is all OK. It sounds go close it is frustrating.

I'm at a loss to figure out what to do next! I've checked and there is a good strong spark.

Could I have aligned piston 1 to be TDC on the wrong stroke (someone said there are two stokes, one for firing when the valves are closed, and one which isn't)?

Any other ideas?

The engine is so old I can't see any timing marks on it anywhere which doesn't help.

I just recently began having troubles with my car. I own a 1998 mitsubishi eclipse with 120k miles on it. The other day alot of white smoke started coming out of the exhaust. My uncle told me it is possible a cracked head-gasket. When I got home I began looking it up on the internet and so far Im still not sure.

I checked the oil, as far as i know it is a brownish yellow color (not "milky")

When I open the radiator cap (im assuming its the radiator cap, its next to the overflow) and leave the car idling, water and steam begins spurting out of it after about a minute.

Although my exhaust is smoking white, I do not smell the sickly sweet anti-freeze smell that is associated with it.

Lastly since it happened my car has started to get really hot really fast on the temperature gauge. Previously it used to sit a little under 1/4th it not jumps to around halfway after driving only a mile or so. I have not attempted to drive it any further than that in fear of over heating.

Thinking of buying a new or couple years old Ford Ranger. I'm looking for 4 liter 6 cylinder or 4 cylinder 2.3 - two wheel drive. Any pros and cons on this if you have one. Also any major problems to consider or look out for. I have a very very old Toyota and don't know much about the newer American trucks.
Thanks.

As soon as I turn over, the oil pressure shoots way up to about 80psi (maxed out on gauge). Any ideas on possible problems? Is it safe to drive 15-20 miles to shop with oil pressure maxed out? Also, looks like there is a bad oil leak somewhere, possibly rear main seal?

My father has been sailing all his life (I'm relatively new to it) and understands how to do it. We've been given and old boat by a friend to repair. The paneling is cracked on top and stuff, but its structurally very strong. I'd love to help out because it seems like a great proccess, but I would like to have more knowledge about it so i understand why we're doing what we're doing!

So. Any books?

I know that caltrans have been doing a great job with the bridges especially in Sacramento, CA. Everyone seems to complain about how dangerous the bridges might be in the following years. The engineering from other states are not as good with their jobs and that is why the bridges are so deficient. Every 2 years, there are maintence on the california bridges. There is nothing to fear. I want to hear from you of what you are thinking and see what we can do to make you feel safer.

Recently purchased 2001 Plymouth Neon LX. Driving on surface streets it does fine, but when I get on the interstate after about 10 minutes the temperature starts to rise and within about 15 minutes it is at the top of the gauge. Pulling over and idling does not cool it off, neither does exiting the interstate and driving on surface streets. The cooling fan is functioning properly. Here is a list of repairs attempted to fix problem: cooling system power flush, new thermostat and radiator cap, new radiator, new water pump, new head gasket, cooling system flush again. What is causing this problem?
