2001 Honda Civic with only 21,000 miles

No problems with the car until recently when I've noticed I really have to push down on the gas to get it to accelerate. I can hear the engine kind of struggling, too, especially on an incline. Ride is not as smooth, either. No recent maintenance except for oil change.

Could it be the fuel system needs to be cleaned? TiresPlus todl me they could do it for $89.99, but I'm hesitant to pay for something that might not necessarily be the root of the problem. I wish there was a way to get someone to physically look at the fuel injection without charing me $50 for a "diagnostic engine" test. What's my best bet? I heard Autozone does a free engine scan...

well the other day i was going to show my friend about a possible oil leak and i reved the engine a bit to get it to heat up then all of a sudden my whole enging was smoking i went and looked under the car and i had coolant gushing all over the place, it wasnt coming from the front of the car more like the passenger side near the rear of the Engine after looking for what seems like hours i cannot seem to locate it,however i dont have anything but a jack to lift the car up with and knowing that isnt safe wasnt risking it. i am not tooo well off with money atm just having a son and all so wanna do the repair myself i know its a hose b/c of how much coolant i lost within a few short seconds and was wondering if someone could give a few tips on locating the hose and some repair advice, as this is my first car and i am not very savy with this stuff.
Thanks Chris

So many workers (Auto workers) out of a job. for example, the Wixom plant in Michigan closed in May 2007. Gone are two shifts (4,500 workers) Yet the town of Wixom has only 8,000 people and 56% of them buy foreign cars. Why?

Hi, I have a 94 Honda Accord. I went to get the oil change on the car. The guy said he couldn't change it ,because something near or on the oil filter was leaking. Anyway, I was not able to repair the car at the time.I had been putting motor oil in it ,when it wouldn't start . It worked fine for about two weeks. Recently, It would not start;so I put 2 bottles of motor oil in it and it still will not start. Can anyone help? I'm trying to save money up for the repair. Does anyone know if this is a major problem?Can anyone tell me what I can do just to drive to the repairman?

I was driving and I heard a clunk and 2 of the bolts were missing and then I turned and 2 more shot off and my tire was being held on by one bolt. It's not just the nuts that fell off the entire bolt threads snapped off from rust. What is this piece called? Estimated replacement cost? My car is a 1997 Dodge Stratus ES 6 cyl.

I think the leak is at an external tube outside the engine block.

I find myself without a right foot now and need to drive to work. I'm hoping it is possible to convert a 5 speed manual transmission to an automatic transmission. Google gave me no answers and I have no idea where to start.
Is it even possible to do? Any idea of cost? Time needed?
Thanks

I'd like to trade in my car (it's paid for) and get cash back for it and use that cash to pay off my high-interest credit cards. Can you do that? Or does your trade in value have to be put towards the purchase of the new car? I can get a car loan with much lower interest rate and the car payment would be a lot cheaper than my credit card payments together. Think this is a good idea?
