When i start the car cold if i put the throttle quarter down it fires right up first time but other wise it takes anywhere from 3-5 times cranking it and giving it gas to start so i thought it was the fuel pump, but then after a while of being hot it smells horrible inside and out but then for no reason it will smell fine again and when its hot when i give it gas it sputters and falls completely apart until about 22-25 mph then it drives fine and all highway driving is fine no matter how im driving but horrible in the city and for the first time last night when i shut it off it almost startin dieseling and tried to start back up when i shut the key off but then it shut off and i havent had a problem with that yet so far and i get horrible gas mileage i put in 45$ of 87 when it was 2.97 a gallon and only took me 215 miles so im thinking its either the fuel pump or maybe the pressure regulator is sticking but if anybody has any ideas im open thanks

I seriously hope this guy is joking about direct exaust injection. Whether he is joking or not it is funny as hell and there are people out there who would believe this. What do you guys think?

ok soo the throttle position sensor was bad on my 2000 chevy blazer with auto. trans and when i drove it 1st and 2nd gear would shift fine and when it hit 3rd the engine would just rev. up it was like i moved the shift lever into neutral. i replaced the TP Sensor today and it runs like new could this cause my so called transmission slipping problem as soon as it shifted back to 2nd it would do fine could that have caused the problem?

I recently was hit and my car might have frame damage. I posted a different question before but in doing research I ran into something called "diminished value". Can someone explain this? Is this a CA insurance law?

Looking to buy a 2005 Nissan Altima (fully loaded) at the auction (dealers only, someone is going to get me in).

Does anyone have any personal experiences? warnings? tips? etc.

Guy who is taking me is saying that it should run about $12k (+ about $600 in fees (his and the auctions))

I'm winterizing the stern drive. The silver screw on the left side of the unit is really difficult to remove. Any special tools or tricks required?

I am planning to trade my Hyundai Sante Fe in for a car that is better on gas. Will the Hyundai dealership that I originally bought it from give me the best offer on a trade in? I'm not interested in trying to sell it myself. It's a 2006 and I still owe $11,000 on it.

hey!
I bought new motocycle in may'07 and got in accident same day i got it. mainly my fault i did not know how to ride it and my friend said that its ok dont worry its easy, i got on it and rest is history. I wanna find out is it easy to fix bike yourself. I dunno much about them, but i kow there is no damage to the engine, i broke, rim, rotors,shocks, one side body kit,and the part that holds the odometer and basically the whole handle part to the front of the bike, so i was thinking why pay someone a whole lot of money to fix it if i can buy stuff and just put it together my self. I saw stuff on ebay, iknow a guy at my work who said that he has fixed his bike lots of time . I just want to know how hard is it to take the parts off and fix them since it has nothing to do with the transmission. any feedback would be appreciated. thanks.

Do female fighter pilots have any physical advantages or disadvantages compared to male fighter pilots?

I know, probably a stupid question...but men and women do have some physiological differences, so I'm covering my bases.

I have a 1997 Ford Aspire manual. Yesterday it started making slightly annoying noises, and today the noises are really loud and the car is difficult to put in gear. It's really acting up in the first four gears, but when I get to 5th it doesn't do anything weird. It even makes the noises when I'm in neutral unless I hold down the clutch.

I did an overhaul to my 1993 Nissan Pickup, but I was advised not to run the car any faster than 35 miles per hour before the Engine has at least ran for 500 miles atleast. Is this a true myth or just bullshit?
