Due to me putting a bad gasket between the throttle body and engine a small amount of coolant made its way into the engine. Now there is white smoke coming out of tail pipe and car idles very rough. Only ran it for a second, will it burn away? What should I do?

I went to Discount Tires to have my tire pressure checked because I couldn't get my pump to work. The guy told me he was making them 35 psi because it is hot and the pressure will lower faster than normal. On the door to my car ('06 corolla) it says the max is 30 psi. I told him this and he said that it needs to be more, but I really don't think that's right. Should I let some air out? How much should it be; even 30 is the max. according to the manufacturer.

Hia,

could someone please let me know how I would go about powering a portable cd player from a wagons cigarrette socket, like you would in a car, apparently they run at 24 volts as opposed to those found in cars that run at 12 volts, is this a problem, and if so how do you get around it?

Thanks.

Okay this is annoying me. My car insurance policy is up for renewal very soon. It is a 6-mo policy. I am currently 24 yrs old but turning 25 literally 7 days after my policy renews. As you might know, generally car insurance rates decrease when you turn 25, because 25 is the age threshold that is no longer considered to be a "high risk" age group.

However, my car insurance company insists on rating my entire 6-mo policy as a 24-yr-old...which means that for literally 96.2% of my policy period, I will be 25 yrs old but paying the higher rates of a 24-yr-old. This does not make me feel happy or appreciated. >:(

So I was wondering...what would you do? Should I switch insurance companies shortly after turning 25 so that I can get a better rate, and then perhaps switch back to my old company sometime shortly later? Is there a way I can negotiate with a manager so that he/she will re-rate me shortly after my 25th birthday? Thanks for the feedback.

I went to Inifiniti dealer because my check engine light and transmission lite lit up. They diagnosed the problem and told me they had to replace the control valve/tcm assembly to resolve the issue. The price was roughly $2,700.They called and said to come pick up my car because it's fixed and everything is ok now. I turned the key in their parking lot the same lights started flashing. The dealer came up with some excuse as to why and told me it's probably going to do that on and off. fixed and I should not worry about the light. So I drove the car home. My transmission was still not shifting right and both lites still on, so I decided to call him back as soon as I got home to drop the car off again. After I dropped it off again the dealer finally called me after 2 weeks and told me that they misdiagnosed the car and that it needs a new wire harness. It took his mechanics 15 hours more to diagnose and that it would cost me $1900 more but we can meet half way. What do I do now?

I have a 03 accord EX 2 door - just got a flat and realize I need 4 new tires. the current tires on there are p205 60 R16 - I happen to have a set of P215 60 R16's in my garage. Will these fit on the rim? I know they are a little wider then the original. Secondly how can a replace a wheel on a tire - its been a tough month and I don't want to spend $185 to get them installed. Does anyone know how to do this, any websites with instructions? I am very handy and I think I can figure it out. I would get them alligned afterwards...
