Somebody told my friend that they heard Amtrak was shutting down soon, just wanted to know if it was true because it would suck if it were.

I have a 79 Datsun/Nissan 280 zx that I am trying to put back in working order! I just had the engine rebuilt. We just got it back, we drove it this afternoon, and tried to start it about 5 hours later and Nothing! The lights were Off and there is no radio. It appears the starter was in the off position. Can anyone offer me any tips or suggestions on where to start to find the problem? Thanks.

I'm going to change my brake pads soon so I was wondering what the OEM number is for the brake fluid. And any opinion on what kind of disc brakes I should go for? slotted? slotted and drilled?

I have a 1996 honda accord ex coupe manual transmission, When i push on the pedal, there's very little resistance, but it shifts fine and doesn't slip, it just seems weird how the pressure on my clutch decreased so much.

It was doing this before, and I replaced the ignition. It worked for a little bit, but then it started doing it again. Sometimes it can take up to 15 frustrating minutes to get the key out. I have had people look at it, but no one knows what is causing the problem. My car is in Park when I try this.. I have tried several different keys, and I do try to move the steering up and down but it rarely helps. I would leave the Key in the ignition, and just lock it and use another key to open the door, but the lights stay on on the dashboard when the key is in the ignition, and this would drain my battery to leave the key in the ignition.

My bicycle has handlebar brakes, and the rear brakes are way to loose. My bike uses a cantilever "center-pull" brake system. Also, I'm not bike savvy, so can someone help me answer this question by also be kind of specific? It would really help! Thanks!

I recently took a "lemon" to a mechanic and he advised not to buy it because the transmission was slipping. In the process of talking with him he said that one of his employees had a car that he wanted to sell. This is when I received the offer of the '97 Lumina. I asked the mechanic if the car had a/c and he said that it was leaking and did not know how much trouble it would be to fix it. I figured "if" you are a mechanic then why would it be "trouble" to fix it? I think that he was going to try and hit me up for more money if he fixed the a/c. What do you think? Thanks again for your help.

I looked in the manual and in the under the hood picture it just has an arrow pointing down on the passenger side towards the back. I looked around for probably 10 minutes and couldn't find the cap. Is it way down towards the bottom or very well hidden? Any help is appreciated.

My family took a trip in 2003 Sienna and noticed that the the seats in the back were shaking a lot. A couple of minutes later the low pressure warning light lit. My dad added more air into all 4 tires to the recommended psi and the warning light was gone. On the trip home the same thing happened with the warning light and the shaking (which never stopped even after my dad added more air). my dad checked the pressure again, and they were at the right amount. The car was just balanced a month or two ago and there's no holes in my tires, and the bolts on the tires are on tight (my dad said). Does anyone have any suggestion on what he should check? Thanks in advance.

My 98 GMC Z71 steering has a wierd feeling...it is supposed to have speed sensitive steering....sometimes as I am turning it has some resistance and then all of a sudden frees up and I almost oversteer the turn....I thought maybe a slipping belt but no....could the fluid need changing or could it be maybe the pump going bad???...It seems to do it more when the weather is hot than in the winter that is what makes me think it is possibly a fluid problem...Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance.

of it but I live in a condo with no garage so plan to store it when not riding in a storage unit less than a mile from where I live. It's storage with security but wanted to ask other bike owners if this is a good plan?

Does spark occur in each electrode with equal intensity as the single electrode? From what I know about electricity, unless you drastically increase the secondary voltage, say from 20K volts to 80k volts, the expected spark from each of the four electrodes will be 1/4 the intensity. No free lunch you know.
