Cars & Transportation - 13 August 2007

It seems like my car only does it when I'm on the highway going 65- 70 and I exit and go to slow down is when it starts to shake. I took it in and had new brakes and rotors but on it, but could it be the rear drums? The mechanic said he was stumped. He thought it was the rotors for sure. Any suggestions?

I was watching some NHRA top alcohol competition and was amazed how those funny cars launched; rev'd high before they were even staged, then roll in to staged. Seems like that would burn up any type of clutch...

I just bought an 08 Altima Coupe 2.5s model. I really don't know much about cars and bought this one beacuse it drives so nice and looks awesome. But I was just wondering what are somethings that are very unique about this car so I can brag about it and seem like I know more about it, ha.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I have a 1997 Ford Explorer and under the hood the engine is very dusty and dirty. I'm not afraid to clean it at the car wash with some sort of enging degreaser/cleaner; however, I want to make sure there isn't some component under the hood that I need to pay special attention to avoid.

I realize that I should minimize the impact to the plug wires and possibly anywhere the wires plug in, but what about the rest of the engine compartment?

Advice please - very much appreciated!!

Okay, I got this 3500 (i think) blue electric razor scooter, for 200 dollars! I'm just a kid, but I wanna sell it and maybe buy a chi hair straightener instead. But I don't wanna put it on ebay or amazon, cuz then ill have to package it and stuff, and that will cost a lot since it's pretty heavy. Does anybody know an easy way of how I can sell it, fast??????? Please leave any suggestions, I'm desparate!

OK, the LH side tail lights and front parking lights on my 87 Volvo 240 wagon stopped working today. I checked front & rear bulbs, they're OK. R & L brake lights are OK. 4-way flasher works OK. All fuses in fuse panel check OK. Light switch checks OK. Bulb failure warning light is on, however all bulbs check OK (checked w/ohmmeter). Fuse 16 (RH lights) has normal 12 v. on it. Fuse 15 has ZERO volts. But the Haynes manual shows both fuse 15 and 16 fed directly from the switch on the same wire. What the heck's going on here? I'm stumped. What's left to check? Any ideas? Tnx. in advance.

Also, how tight should it be? Should there be any slack in the chain in neutral?

When you are buckling your seatbelt and pull it out far it locks. It'll only go shorter and shorter and you must unbuckle the entire thing to loosen it. What is the purpose of locking seat belts at a certain length? To me it's just annoying.

I am thinkin about gettin a Chevy Lumina Euro Spec (real name is Euro Sport...I just think "Spec" sounds cooler) for a daily driver when I start constructin my hot-rod.......my grandparents have one and they absolutley LOVE IT. They say its a car thats cheap to come by, comfortable, reliable, American and quite powerfull....which is true because they have 200+ hp and torque. So what are some of your guys opinions. Do/have you owned or driven a Euro Sport/Spec Chevy Lumina (1990-94 are only years made).....if you have then lemme know what you though of it. Thanx!


By the way.....if you have driven a Lumina but don't know if it was a Euro Sport.....heres how you know...it is quite powerfull, has a low spoiler on back, and made between 1990-94

My exhaust is in decent condition and i want it sound performance like. Do i need to get a whole performance exhaust system or would it make a difference in the sound if I just get the performance muffler? P.S .I have a dual exhaust system on a 97' Camaro.

I'd figure it won't cost as much to get a used classic car, especially one that's beat up a bit. That would give me time to work on the car myself, gain some experience along the way, and customize it to my own wants.

However, thinking about this makes me feel worried that it's not a safe idea, due to the lack of safety features back then. I'd also have to learn on a manual, which I have no experience on. Lastly, how would insurance be?

It's just an idea I haven't put too much thought into, so if you all agree it's a bad idea, I wouldn't complain.

Mercruiser &.4 on 1997 bayliner 2858 runs good for 15 minutes, then instantly loses RPM and power, Floods, backfires, "misses" (plug wire removal test shows it is sometimes runs on only 5-6 cylinders); press electrical switches like trim tabs and RPM -power changes dramatically. Can also instantly regain power. Often surges. All gauges show normal ranges.

Ran perfect before boat hauled last fall and engine removed and upgraded by mechanic: installed new fuel pump, plug wires, plugs, exhaust manifolds and risers; fuel lines; etc. Mechanic diagnotic computer shows no error codes. We are stumped. Need help. Appreciate suggestions.
