Cars & Transportation - 25 September 2007

I'm currently in my last year of high school and I'm applying to a college that's about an hour and 15-30 min. away by car. And that's without traffic =) So that makes a total of about 3 hrs of total commute everyday...would you do it?

For me, the college is too close to dorm but yet I feel it's too far to drive an hour and a half to back and forth everyday.

I can not get this car to start. Where should the wires off of the Alternator lead to? Where should the wires off the Starter lead to? Right now I am getting nothing when I turn the key but the power windows are working even without the key in the ignition. Please help.

My car has been sitting for a while because it was running rough and had a loping idle. I'm finally getting around to working on it. One of my spark plug wires is sliced open. I had covered it with electrical tape. Should I go ahead and buy a whole new set??

Just an hour ago, I accidentally lost control of my car in the parking lot and bumped into a car. The headlight on the right popped out and the bumper also popped out like a few inches. There were also some slight scratches. My car was unscathed. I met up with the car owner, a McDonald's employee, and it turned out that she didn't have a license at all. I gave her information from my driver's license and phone number but all she gave me was her name, phone number, and license plate number. I later spoke to a friend and she suggested that it was quite possible that she might have been an illegal immigrant since she needed a friend to help her speak English and was driving without a license. It's also quite possible that the name she gave me isn't her real name. I haven't been able to call up the restaurant but she told me that she's supposed to call me tonight. My question is, is there any danger in giving my driver license information to her?

Also, how much would the damage cost?

It's a thin flat wire strip. When it is housed inside a fabric hem (as in a collapsible frisbee), it can collapse onto itself and if the wire is 3' long (as an example) at the onset, it could end up being only inches in diameter once it collapses. I need to find where to buy this kind of wire as soon as possible.

If lucas is supposed to thicken up the oil than why does my engine have a slight knock at idle? I'm using castrol 10w30 oil. I put in 1 quart lucas and 4 quarts oil. It used to just knock on a cold start but now it knocks all the time its not a bad knock but you can hear it from out side the car. The knock goes away after the engine revs higher than 2,000 RPM. should I change the oil and just use 10w30 oil?. The strange thing is that my oil pressure is a little bit higher and the engine hardly knocks from a cold start where as before it would knock for sevral seconds and it would be a little louder.

I let a nationally known car place put in a door blend motor in my '01 Mercury Sable LS, plus a new thermostat and a couple other items b/c when i would turn my air on and the temperature up then down, it wouldn't cool back down. I continue to take it back to the idiots that installed it, yet they can't seem to permanantly fix the issue.

When I drive my car makes a grinding noise, somewhat similar to a circular saw. It doesnt happen when I am traveling fast, only around 20-40 mph. I took off the front tire to look and couldnt see any loose objects. When I did the brake area was very hot to the touch. Any help would be awesome
