94 plymouth grand voyager minivan has a transmission seal leak. It doesnt leak when parked but needs about 1/2 qt with every fill up at the gas station. it's not mine, but for sale $600 bucks or best offer. The rest of the van is great condition. Is it worth the effort?

my 95 civic EX coupe has a 4 cyl 1.6L Vtec, and the idle speed in neutral and with the clutch shoved in is 2000 rpm
i realize that this is not normal, so is there some way that i can tune it down? i was thinking this has something to do with the O2 censor, but i really don't know... so i'd appreciate any help i can get!! i don't mean to sound "car-retarted" but seriously..
thanks

I went to the xxxxx dealer to check the brakes (high-pitched noise) and the receipt says 1$ parts and $10 labor for something called 'clamped heat shield'. What is that? Does that have to do anything with brakes or noise?

I have a '94 SL1 that I purchased yesterday. The mileage was 35,300. At first when I test drove it the check service engine light would come on briefly between 40mph and 50mph. I took it back and they changed the heat sensors and the solenoid. Today as I am driving, I notice that the temp gauge would go 3/4 the way up and then cool down to just under half. There are no lights on, but I have never seen a car do that. Is this car supposed to go to 3/4 the way toward the H and then cool down to just below half? I noticed that the fan does not come on until the temp gets to 3/4. Is this normal?

In April 2006 I bought a 95 Hyundai Accent (2dr) and I have been steadily paying for replacement door handles (inside and out) window tracks and the control panel where the heat/air/radio controls are. We go to the junk yards to obtain these parts and in most cases they are already gone, which tells me that it is a typical, on-going problem with Hyundai.

So my question is: Is this so with the newer models of Hyundai? I love my car but it's a cosmetic nightmare and it's been costing me a slow fortune. I really want a newer Hyundai Accent but I'm not sure it's worth it.

On the way to work, I encountered a tow-truck driver with a bad attitude.

He tailgated me through a 30 mph school zone, flashing his lights. After we got out of the school zone, I sped up to the regular speed limit of 45. He continued to tailgate me and flash his lights, and he started laying on the horn. When I reached a red light, he swung into the empty right turn lane and raced past me through the red light, nearly wrecking another car.

After seeing this reckless behavior, I called the tow truck company and reported the incident to a manager.

My husband was horrified that I reported the guy. "What if he gets fired?" hubby asked.

I feel that I was justified in calling his manager. If this guy worked for my family's business, I'd want to know about behavior like this before I handed him the keys to a company vehicle. And I don't want to share the road with this guy, especially with him in a giant tow truck.

So settle our bet. Was I right to report Mr. Road Rage?

Ok I have to charge my battery because it goes dead, then when it is fully charged like after 2 days it goes dead again slowly. I have no clue what is could be. I do not know if it is the alternator or not.

I bought a line out converter from Install Edge, and I'm not sure how to hook it up exactly. Which wires should I run it off of; the rear speakers or the wiring behind the deck? Also, I need a little help understand what wires to splice into since there's a positive and negative wire for both front and back speakers. Any pictures or advice tha can help me along is appreciated!

i was in a wreck and took my car to have the body work repaired. while it was there the mechanic had to take it to the dealership, so he and his son drove it there. a few days later, i received a call saying that my car's engine had went out and that the car would not move. This was true, the car has still not been repaired because the cost to do so is around $5000. My insurance would not cover it because they say that it was not a result of the accident. My truck was running fine when i took it there, i had had no problems.
