Gasoline vapors are more flammable/explosive than gasoline in it's liquid form. So wouldn't it make sense to vaporize gasoline before it reaches the engine? I ask this because there's a guy in Florida claiming to get over 400 mpg on his Geo by vaporizing gasoline. Is this possible or is it just a myth?

My ABS light comes on and off. When i reach the end of my brake there is a loud clunking noise. I have recently had some rotor problems and I also purchased 2 brand new front tires and Im not sure if it started happening after I put the new tires on. The problem exist about 90 percent of the time. Im taking it to Nissan dealer on friday, just trying to get a feel as to what maybe wrong before i go to dealer.

I always here that cheap gas from some non-popular gas stations are "watered down" and you shouldnt use it in your car. Is there some truth in this?

Year 2000 BMW 323i...
When the engine first starts, it runs fine. After a short while, the PCM will shut down a (seemingly) random fuel injector because it has sensed a misfire.
It never seems to shut down the same cylinder twice in a row.
Cam sensor?
Crankshaft sensor?
Nobody seems to know what is going on with this car...
Can someone out there steer me in the right direction?

If you have a low battery, or battery that needs to be recharged frequently....does your battery recharge itself while you are driving after you have received a boost?

I have lost both of my car keys and they are nowhere to be found. Without the keys, I cannot start my car and have had to hitch a ride to work the last few days. How can I get an other key? Do I need to call a lock smith or what...?

I live in Portland Oregon and drive a car. We are very bike friendly and although its not my thing I'm all for supporting them when its good for the environment and clears congestion...However I notice that many many times they never follow traffic rules when riding on the road. They run red lights and stop signs, it's physicaly impossible for them to follow speed limits (more of an annoyance than a danger if your behind them), and they are VERY rude.

One time I slowed down waiting for a bicyclist to merge because he gave the hand signal in on a very busy street durring morning rush hour. Because he never did and was slowing a huge line of cars behind me I was just going to go around him after his arm went down and I waited a little more. He then darted infront of me, turned around and screamed obsenities and cut oncomming traffic to turn down a side road. And this was man that looked well to do. What gives? What can I do to change things?

Are there any mechanical parts in a catalytic converter. My mechanic says my converter is bad. If I take my converter off and clean it out and blow it out, will it function better and prolong its life. My car died the other day and my mechanic said it was the distributor. He replaced it and my car started once again. 10 minutes after leaving his shop, my check engine light came on. He said the code was P0420 which meant my converter was bad. He quoted about 1300 to repair the problem. After doing some research on that ODB code, a potential cause of that could be spark timing is off. Since they replaced my distributor, I have a feeling that is what caused the check engine light to come on. Now my car, does not seem to accelerate properly and it almost jumps into acceleration when I hod the gas down. Also, it sound kind of like it is going to stall when it is idiling. Anyone have any info on converters. Thank You
