Cars & Transportation - 17 September 2007

I have a 1984 Chevrolet Suburban w/ the GM 6.2 Diesel Engine. This truck has the 700r4 Transmission, and here is my problem.

I don't know much about Automatic Transmissions, but I am fairly mechanicly inclined in reguards to the rest of a vehicle.

I was driving along, all fine and dandy, and then I stoped at a stop sign, took off, and the transmission sounded like it didn't want to shift out of first gear, so I eased off the accelerator a bit to let it shift, and it just fell out of gear. After this, it never went back in gear, not reverse, not 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. It will still go into park and lock into park like it should, but it won't even shift into any other gears. I can pull the shifter into any position, and there is no shifting into any gear.

I'd love to get this old beast moving again, so if anyone has any idea what may have happened, please enlighten me. I will answer any specifc question you may need for clarification.

Thank you all in advance for your help.

okay, remember my question about ticking at idle a while back? well that went away after around a day. now it is back. i went on the interstate yesterday and i think that is why. i have a ninja 250 and the first time was at 12000 RPM. i went to the dealer and they said i just need a valve adjustment (scheduled for 6000 miles; around 4800 miles now0 i was told by a seperate source 12000 RPM is harmful to my engine (i honestly had no clue - first bike and RL isn't till 13000). so yesterday i only got it up to 10000. but still ticking. now i am sad. is there permanant damage. tonight the ticking was still audible, but wasn't as present untill around 7-8000 and was as a high pitched "buzz" more really. someone - PLEASE help me. cause i am scared for my baby. say what you will about it being a girls bike, but it is a hell of a bike.

I have a '96 Nissan 200 SX SE 1.8 liter, I went to start it this morning and it did start and it ran for like 3 seconds but it was making a really loud noise and then just quit. I checked the timing chain, spark and compression....the compression is low but everything else is fine. The last thing I did was yesterday I jump started my motorcycle. Could anything electronicly be wrong since I jump started it? (ie. the fuel injectors not firing?) Could anyone please help?

I am looking to buy a motorcycle in the near future, I dont consider myself an expert rider, but I have rode smaller bikes and they leave me wanting more performance. I am 6'6 225lbs, and don't want to ride with my knees touching my chin. I really like both of these bikes, more so the blackbird but the cheaper price of a ZX-11 evens it out. I would like some pros and cons of both bikes if possible. Thanks.

Im looking for a free automotive website that allows you to see your vehicle with different types of wheels and paint jobs as well as other added features. i recently bought a new truck and im looking for wheels and i want to know what its going to look like with defferent types of wheels and other asseseries that are available for a 2007 F-150 supercab 4X4. Is there a website out there that allows me to type in the make and model of my truck and perhaps see what it looks like BEFORE i buy something??

Anything out there? Ive looked but I really dunno what im looking for...

I saw an ECU on stillen.com but i dont know if it give extra horse power...
All I need is a system that I can plug up and re-work everything to boost my horsepower, but I really dont know what to buy as far as ECU chips goes.

I know I sound like a total, ignorant idiot, but please, no smart-*** comments about how I should get a new car or something... I am a college student and cant afford a turbo kit.

Thank you!

What could cause my fuel pressure to drop?
I have a 1990 chevy camaro rs. swapped the FI 305 for a carb. 355(bored 30 over). When I swapped engines I kept the electric fuel pump and installed a regulator. My ca kept dying no matter what I did so hooked up a fuel pump vacuum meter or whatever it's called and this is what I found: with fuel regulator on it reads only 1.5 psi while running and drops to 0 then car dies, without fuel regulator it reads 3psi then drops to 0 while running, for everytime I turn the key to on position w/o regulator it raises psi by 3 or 4, if I turn key to on position 3 times it will read 10-12 psi then I started the car and it ran perfectly until it got down to 1 and 0 psi then it dies, the more I rev the engine the quicker the psi drops to 0. So what could cause my fuel pressure to drop so rapidly? It can't be the fuel pump or fuel filter cause I just replaced them cause thats what i figured it was. Everything ran smoothly after the engine swap for about 5 months and then I started having this prob.

Only thing I can think of is maybe theres a sensor that isn't recieving any input so it thinks the car is off therefore shutting the fuel pump off. How would I bypass this(in detail)

Why everytime you disassemble a connecting rod on an engine is it recommended to replace the bolts?

Hello,
Where would the flasher be in a 1993 Chrylser 5th Avenue be? I have no signal lights, they don't make a tick or anything that's why I'm thinking it's the flasher. Am I right? Oh, and when I do signal, they just stay lit on the back signal lights.

Do you think it will be expensive to fix? The air is coming out good, but it's not cold at all.

He had a tow truck waiting to take his car, the officer said no, and used the tow truck that he had called for, so my dad said ok, the cars not worth it, you keep it. So anyways now we get a letter that we owe over 2000 dollars for the car, and they have a Lien Deficiency , meaning i guess the sold the car and the amount it sold for wasnt enough to cover the costs. The towing company is asking for IMMEDIATE PAYMENT , payment in full for some 2000 dolalrs, and im thinking this is BS, i was going to disreguard this letter because it seems like a threat just to get some money, any advice?

The light has been on for a while in my car. Today, it started blinking, which I know indicates a more serious problem. But suddenly it stopped blinking and is constant again now.
