Sometimes when it wont start there is no fuel pressure.If you hit the tank the pressure goes up and it starts,but still has no accel power.Will the fuel pump cause it to have no power but still run? It has about 60 lbs of pressure.Any help would be great!Thanks

I have an 02 nissan sentra. I have an aftermarket guage that lets me know when the oil is getting to hot. Whenever I drive on the highway within 30 minutes I would feel the gas pedal shake and the wheel and brake pedal will become stiff. it has enough antifreeze in it. When I drive it on the local roads it wouldn't act up like this.

I have this car for 5 years now, last summer it was overheated and had to replace the head gaskets. After head gaskets replaced, I checked the compression pressures...facing engine, right side 165, 165, 160, 165...left side 160 165 165 90...the overheated side actually was the right rear side. It runs still. Do I have to correct this problem, if yes, how? What could be the cause? I did torque all the bolts to spec and in sequence. also adjust the valve clearances. The only thing I did not do was to re-surface the heads. This is a Chevy Small Block. Now, I removed A/C system all together since it caused overheated when used. Added a push fan in front of radiator, and the radiator is the same one for a Corvette.

I'm trying to find a way to hook my iPod up to my Dodge Neon,

The radio on the Neon does not have a cassette player so a cassette adapter is out of the question.

I've heard about FM transmitters But ive heard the sound quality is kinda bad. Though, I fyou happen to know any cheap FM transmitters with good quality I'll be glad to give it a try.

So here are my questions:

Does the Neon '03 have an Auxiliary input jack?
Is there a good cheap good quality FM transmitter out there?
What other way is there to hook up my iPod without getting a new radio?

My families Buick Century 2003 has an electrical problem. I can not read the mileage meter. Even when the sun is shining on it all I see is the 888... of the LEDs.

I know this is not a cheap repair. Should I bring it to the dealer or the garage where I trust the mechanics?

Why or why not.

i build 1/72 scale WWII aircraft models. i'm currently working on a c-46 williams brothers kit, and it comes with 3 and 4 blade props. i have finished it in bare aluminum, and i'm using later war star and bar emblems. my question is when did they use what props? logic would say the earlier less powerful engines were the 3 blade, but from what little i can find on the internet it seems that the ones in bare aluminum were 3 blade props. i just want it to be period correct. thanks in advance!

The truck will start right up and run fine, but about 5 minutes later I can hardly pull away from a stop light, I have to rev it up and ride the clutch, once it reaches approx 1500 rpm it runs fine. I have changed plugs, wires, rotor button, cap, fuel filter, I ran a can of Sea Foam through it. I thought maybe it was the engine temp sensor, but everything I've read about them say the engine is hard to start when they fail. I don't want to start just shotgunning parts at it. I have been told it was anything from the idle air control, EGR Valve, Throttle position sensor, I don't know (obviously) any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, Rick
