Anytime I push on the gas whether it be sitting still and revving it up or driving the truck it makes this whining like noise. It doesn't do it when you turn the sterring wheel only when pressing the accelerator. I was told it could be something to do with the power steering but the fluid isn't low. Someone else told me it was normal for that truck. Any ideas what it could be? And is it expensive to fix? Thanks.

I hit a curb side (real bad hit) and wall of front tire has chipped a bit. A mechanic checked with some soap water and said no leak and so fine to go. Another shop said it is better to change tire since you cannot assess if there is hidden damage.
What is the risk of not changing the tire, if any?

Also, is there a easy way to find out if the hit has caused any mis-alignment?

I have apx. $15,000 to spend on a new to lightly used car. What would be the best bang for my buck? I'm not looking for a truck/van. Just a reliable, somewhat powerful, safe car.

my engine light went on and he found that I had a cracked manifold. He switched them in the cars. My light doesn't go on anymore and he fixed the problem. The question is, why doesn't his engine light go on with the cracked manifold?

I'm a newbie. I just bought my 1st bike - '92 Suzuki Katana 750 - from a mechanic who was selling it for someone else.
I taught myself to ride. I watched a lot of videos, read a lot of books and manuals (the local MSF class was booked for months), found a big parking lot, hopped on and started going.

As I gain experience I've noticed a problem. After I've been riding for about 20 mins, the engine will stall whenever I come to a stop, and then will not start again until I sit for a few minutes to let it cool off (whether it's in neutral or 1st) If I don't have to stop, then the bike will continue running with no problems, but as soon as I come to a stop, the bike stalls and I can't start again (in neutral or 1st with clutch in and throttle fully open) but only after I've been riding and the bike gets hot.

Does the type of gas matter? The mechanic cleaned the carbs before I picked it up.
I'm not a mechanic but I'm mechanically inclined - anyone know of anything I could do to fix this?

I have a 14 ft aluminum with a 9.9 motor. The front end sits sooooo far outta the water making sterring a little tricky. I already have my anchor in the bow, can I put some additional weights, or would I be risking quick sink and steering ability?

It keeps fouling out the ignition coil. In the past 4 months, I have replaced the ignition coil 4-5 times (both at shops and myself).
Detail: I'll be driving along just fine, and suddenly all power just dies (accelerator, brakes, steering, engine. The radio, A/C, etc...still work.) This has happened 4 times since I've owned the Jeep. It won't start again until I get a new coil (obviously.) Then it will foul that one out. The last coil only lasted about 10 miles, and I noticed it got really hot very fast.
So...does anyone know of anything farthur up the chain or whatever that could be fouling out the ignition coil? Keep in mind...it's been to a regular car shop, a specialty Jeep shop, and two actual Jeep dealers' shops. They can never figure it out beyond the coil - I'll take any answers, but it can't be a very easy fix if they all can't fix it.
Can anyone help?
I will award a Best Answer and stars...even if it doesn't actually cure my car.
Thanks for any help!

Everyone knows that MOTs are nothing more than a piece of paper that says your vehicle is road worthy at the time the test is taken but doesn't guarentee that as soon as you drive your vehicle off site the brakes wont fail, the exhaust won't fall off, the seat belt won't hold you in place etc etc etc. So what is the point?
