I have well maintained Toyota carina ED car. It is 1998cc. Auto transmission ECT-S. 16 valve EFI 4S engine. Made 1990.

I need to know that Synthetic Blend Motor Oil best fits for my that old car? Or other conventional oil is better?

irregular about the car's performance except that it moves slowly and sluggishly for the first 1/2 minute after starting in the morning. What could be wrong?

My husband is interested in buying one of these sensors that check the codes on cars. What he's wondering is if it is a good investment and are they pretty accurate?

I've had my car battery jump-started yesterday at school, because i left my headlights on for almost about 4 hours and a half. The jumpstart was successful, but i have concerns about the battery being discharge and all of that. Is it true that the charge is gone forever and the battery will weaken and i will have to replace it very soon ? What exactly happens during the jumpstart process ?

I had parked my tarus at work and when I went to leave it would not pull,neither foward or reverse.It didnt try to pull at all.It never gave me any symtoms such as slipping or not changing smoothly,and it is an automatic.I noticed a slight ''whinning'' sound comming from the front under the hood on the left.I checked transmission fluid and its ok.I had this happen to me on a older ford tarus but it was at a stop light.It seems like something broke internally versus gears wearing out.The transmission has 165,000 k on it.I guess I got expected use out of it,any advice would be appreciated.

Can someone please suggest me the best home made (natural ingredients based) bike washing solution that would not harm my bike or its color/shine & clean it too. I got a candy red Honda Uni and I am afraid that it may loose its shine and fade red color after some time(months/years). If there is not many options then, please suggest me a good bike washing solution available in the market (in India).
Also, is there any solution / coating available (in India) that would avoid scratches and increase paint life.
Thanks in advance.

Dumb question, but I am curious, and dont really want to buy a manual just to answer my question. The lower headlight on these gsxr's.. it looks almost like a magnifying lens or something. I am not sure if that bulb is burned out or not and am too lazy to go pull it to see right now. So, being that this is the first gsxr i've owned, to make sure... is this indeed a headlight? If so, does it come on with the low or high beams or is there some special trick to it? If there isnt, then mine is definately burned out (came that way when I got the bike). Just curious. Thanks!

I need info on where to find an upgrade kit for a 1982 honda urban express... also if I get a larger cylinder I'm guessing I would need different roller weights also, what would I need to do? do I need to mess with the carb as well? I think I'm just gonna buy the parts and get someone to install for me, but these are good things to know before I buy the parts... thinkin' about a new pipe as well...

Garaged for 7 months, upon return and purchase of new battery, bike will not start. No clicking sound or any sound at all when trying to start. Have tried in neutral, in 2nd gear rolling, with side stand up and down. What else could I try or should i look for. I talked to a mechanic and he told me to try the solenoid(touching the two bolts with a pair of pliers at the same time causing a spark) but i do not know how to locate the solenoid. Help.

I want to know why most companys with v8's have them equip with superchargers not turbochargers? Is it because merely of cost factor? 4bangers and v6's are more common with using turbo. Supercharges on multi valve engines dont perform as well, and they cant hit full boost till redline. To me turbochargers are the way to go...

I am doing a V8 conversion and want to put in twin turbo (I am aware single turbo is not as good on V engines) but still cant figure why factory force induction v8s only come with superchargers? This is from holdens to jag's...is there some vital information I am missing?

My car has been running like a champ until two days ago. I got into it on Wed. morning and I cranked it four or five time before it started. It never did this before. I added some fuel injection cleaner, then topped off the tank. The next day the check engine light came on. It still runs great, no stauling or rough idiling. Just the damn light. I did run my tank low prior to my fill up. I generally fill it up all the way, and run it down to 1/4 tank. Any suggestions would be great. I plan on taking it in next week. I bought it last year. It has 109k and may be due for atune up.

My steering wheel vibrates under braking from 50mph +. I applied new Brembo rotors, pads, Cobra calipers, etc, but still vibrating under braking from 50 mph and above. Previously, I did hit a curb after spinning the car and damage the front end (ie. left front wheel hit curb). Had that repaired but now this steering vibration problem is appearing. I did an alignment and it shows that the camber of the left front is way negative and out of specifications. Pepboys tried to shift the OEM caster/camber plate as much as possible but still showed very bad camber.

Does the caster/camber kit from Maximum Motorsports correct this problem that the OEM plate can't ?

Has Anyone experienced this situation after hitting a curb?

How do I fix if problem is not the alignment?

Should I get the insurance company to reexamine the car and its suspension?

I got a used 91 accord last week and tried changing the bulbs of the headlights.

A few times, I went to the drivers seat to turn on the lights (without starting the car) to see if the new bulbs were working. They never did, but that's not what I'm concerned about.

I fully installed the new lights, deciding I'll just take them to the auto garage tomorrow. After putting everything back together, I tried turning on the lights. The only lights that were on were the parking lights, and they were VERY VERY dim.

I tried the brights, they didn't turn on at all. My dashboard didn't light up. I tried starting the car, and nothing happened. I didn't hear ANYTHING. The battery light on the dashboard was lit, but it was very faint.

I couldn't have had the lights on for over 10 minutes total.
What gives?

I'm planning a 3 month trip to Europe and would like to know how much a typical train ticket cost. Not like Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul, but like, say, London-Paris, Monaco-Milan, Berlin-Hamburg.

I know there is no fixed price cos they differ with the distance and destination, but I want a rough estimate.

My budget is around USD$10K anyway. Do you think that'll last me a rough round trip around Europe for 2-3 months?

I was looking on Ebay for a Cheap car and i happened to look at a Hyundai Elantra Hatchbook 2002 on Ebay. It looks like it does not have a lot of trunk space, but that is all right with me. I need something that looks a little cool that will get me from point A to B. I am in school and i am working, so I really dont have a lot of time to go looking for cars. But i just need a lot of other people's input before i go ahead and put my trust into Ebay for something that expensive. I would really rather buy from a Official Hyundai dealership, but i am not sure if they offer warranties for used cars.
