Can hear the air conditioner blowing but very little air is coming into the vehicle. A mechanic told be that it was the "heater box", but have never heard of that and can't find any in a search. Is this a legitimate part or is the guy trying to rip me off? What is the "heater box"? How hard to change? and what should that cost?

I have a Dodge Neon, and i want to buy a larger wheel. I found some online at a GREAT price, but i want to make sure they will fit. They are 19" ADR Silver 4x100 universal wheels. I don't know if they have the same lug pattern, or if the "universal" means they will fit almost any type of car.

I was just wondering where you use to or currently work and do they pay for your gas or does that come out of your own pocket

I'm 15, and I'm saving up for my first car. I don't know anything about cars other than driving. This is what I want in my car:

good mpg
leg room
at least 4 seats (5 would be best)

What kind of car would you recommend $3000 and under? And do you know where I can buy it in 5 months?

I have a 1998 Plymouth Breeze that is acting weird. Sometimes it starts up just fine. Other times it turns and turns but never starts. Anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

I'd like to get a car that pollutes less, but unfortunately the car I want to buy has a pretty big engine (no hybrid version is available). I know that California has strict requirements for emissions standards, and I think that the auto manufacturers make "California emissions" versions of their cars that meet that state's minimum emissions requirement.

So my question is, can I get the California emissions configuration if I live out of the state, and will the exhaust be noticeably cleaner if I do??

(I know that the air would be cleaner if we all drove Priuses, but that's not my question. I'm trying to take this "lower emissions" step instead of doing nothing.)

Thanks!

I have an 84 Chevy Suburban 6.2 diesel and 700r4 Trans. I came up to a stop sign, then started going, first gear went real high, and I tried to let off a bit to let it ****, but it didn't just kind of sounded like it fell out of gear, and now I have no go. I press gas, nothing happens. Park still won't let it roll, but 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th are gone. Automatic trannys are not my specialty and I'm not trained on them much, so I am curious, does this sound like a full rebuild or a shift cable or what? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Is it normal for a Model T to have boiling in the radiator after the car is driven? It usually takes 2 to 3 quarts of replacement water when I want to drive it again. I know Ts are supposed to run hot but does this sound to be normal operation?

I was on my way to work this morning, and at a stop sign, the light turns green, and I hit the gas, and I suddenly hear this loud lawn-mower type noise. This has never happened before. It's very loud, almost like a huge truck! It's only when I hit the gas or when I am in park. What could this be. I am pretty sure it is not the muffler.

I briefly talked to my friend who also has a Mustang, an 01', she told me this happened to her, and she said it was something that is illegal to mess with? She told me the name of it but I forgot! This is very urgent. She said this happened to her before and her father drilled a hole into something, which made the noise go away! I am clueless.

Hi, All!!
Has anybody else had problems with the strength of the air conditioner in their 2006 Mazda3? Mine does not get very cool.
In spring 2006, I purchased a brand spankin' new 2006 Mazda3. Shortly thereafter, I noticed the air conditioner was weak so I brought it back to the Mazda dealer. They checked and said it was fine.
This summer is scorching hot. Every time I drive I have to turn the a/c up to the highest strength to really cool down. Is it only my car or is this a problem for others too?
Thanks for any help you can give me!!

I think I did that, now I get all the lights to come on but when I try to start it, it just clicks like tic tic tic... What do I do? I dont even know if I've got them in the right place.
