I have a 97 pontiac bonneville. when i start the engine up the oil pressure's fine util it gets warmed up then the needle drops. It doesnt go all the way into the red it just fluctuates right over it at idle. Would replacing the pcv valve and putting a thicker grade oil do anygood? Or could it be the oil pressure switch malfunctioning?

I have a 1994 buick le sabre. When i have been coming to lights recently and go to pull away, my car races for a few seconds before engaging and pulling away. The best way i can explain it is it's like dropping it in neutral and pressing on the gas. It doesnt happen everytime, and only when i come to a complete stop and go to pull away again. Could you please provide me with possible reasons why this could happen, AS WELL AS ways i can visually check to confirm the problem. I want to diagnose it myself. Thank you.

The air suspension only goes down when the car is off for a while like a couple of hours. No warning light is coming on, on the dash.

Do you think consumer report is a puppet for The Unions and get told what vehicles to say are reliable and which are not. Or do you think that they sell out to the highest bidder to say what vehicles are reliable and witch are not?

I am tired of hearing what I should buy from individuals that are obviously bias towards certain brands from time to time is like someone is paying them off to say what ever they need to say so people will buy certain products(could it be the Unions?) Why don't they pick out random people and have them test the vehicles and get the review from their input? Tundras are unreliable is like saying GM is not the best truck in the World.

The problem is I got the front two bolts out and the back two refuse to budge. I WD-40'd it to death, yanked on it with ratchet, nothing works. I broke the socket trying to move it. Its a 15mm.

If it was a dealer, they would just pay off my car and get a power of attorney.

I owe about 6500 and my car should sell for about 7500.

I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE. I went to get an oil change and I was about 2 quarts short on oil and the term "blow back" was used on my print out. I called up to the place and the technician said it could be a bad PCV Valve. The oil change before that, there was some oil under the top of my 2.4 Liter Quad 4 Engine. Some of the oil had gotten on my spark plugs and made 2 of the 4 bad. I had to replace the coil housing (which includes the 4 spark plugs). They told me that the valve cover gasket and one other gasket located under my timing chain was worn and needed to be replaced. I also have skipping when I idle and the engine is working harder to go uphill as if some of my plugs are shot again. It has never put me on the side of the road before and I keep it in the shop anytime I hear or feel anything irregular. I know the PCV Valve is cheap, but the other work we cost me some serious labor. Someone please enlighten me on this situation before I put any work into this car.
