Cars & Transportation - 15 October 2007

I have been trying to figure out why I keep blowing the ECMB fuse on my sons 1990 G20 van. It blows as soon as it is replaced. I checked all visible wires for shorts. One of the injector wires was flattened by the air cleaner. But Insulation was not broken. I can't find anything else. Do I need to check all wires under the wire looms? I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pump relay. The fuel pump does run when the key is on. I tried pulling the connectors off of the fuel pump relay and the oil pressure switch. Still blows. Pulled connectors off of other sensors. Still blows. Removed the connectors from the computer. Fuse doesn't blow. The computer was just laying along side the drivers seat. Could it be a bad computer blowing the ECMB fuse? Or is it just a problem within the fuel pump circuit? I disconnected the harness leading to the fuel pump. The connector is underneath the van coming out of the engine compartment. So that eliminates any short from there to the fuel pump.

Since we're starting to get into cold weather I'm wondering if it's a good idea to let my car's engine warm up before I start driving it. Or if it's ok to just drive it cold.

I have a 2007 3 series bmw, and the left tire has to have air pumped into it once or twice a weak, and then it is good for about 5 days, then i have to do it again. I'm assuming this is a slow leak, and the tires are 400-500 dollars each, i think. I need to know if i'm able to fix this slow leak any other way. I really want to avoid buying a new tire if i can, since it is such a slow leak, nothing bad. Thanks!!

my husband was hit in the back drivers side door 2 weeks ago the driver got out of her car and ran. 2 days later the police said that the woman who owned the car was not the driver she had let a friend drive the car and he had let his girl friend take the car to the mall. where she cut through the parking spaces and hit my husband. neither our insurance nor the owners will cover the damages and we had uninsured motoriest is there a way that we can make some one pay for the damages to our car we dont have the money to fix it. and right now we just cant drive it at all. and we have called several lawers who keep telling us they will get back to us or they only handle the medical part (we live in ga and our insurance is geicko)

I was recently stopped in the works wagon by the police and told i was not on the insurance to drive it and that only my boss was on the insurance. When i confronted my boss he told me he had taken me off the insurance when i was in hospital as he thought he was getting a new wagon and he would have insured me for that. But as you guessed it, he never got the new wagon and failed to put me back on the insurance. My boss confessed to the police he had kept this information from me and that i had no idea i was driving without insurance.

Im now being sumonsed to court for driving with no insurance and my boss is trying to bribe me into taking the rap for the whole situation (of which i have told him im not interested in bribes and he can take responsibility for his own actions).

How will the court see this matter, and am i likely to end up with a hefty fine and points on my license for something i was not aware of?

On friday afternoon (about half two) I need to go from Cookham to Chertsey. When I stuck this into thetrainline.com they said to change at Maidenhead, Reading(!), Virginia water, then arriving in Chertsey, the whole journey taking 1 hour 40 mins! I know they are both small places but there's gotta be more direct way! Maybe getting a bus from Maidenhead? I can't drive but would consider any other option so long as it's not too expensive. Thanks for your help.

I can't understand why anyone would rather trailer their bike than ride it to their destination! This is NOT an anti-Harley question - I'd love to own one!

Any thoughts?
