We've checked, cleaned, and replaced (when needed) everything from the air intake filter, to the Mass Air-flow sensor, to the Oxygen sensor, cleaned the injectors, changed the fuel filter (fuel pump works fine), changed spark plugs and hi-tension wires... but still experience sluggish acceleration from standstill and terrible gas milage. I mean, either give me no power but great milage or bad milage but great power... but no power and poor milage is just terrible. The only thing we have not yet checked is the ECU, which controls the air/fuel mixture and timing of the engine. I can't imagine why these things would "lose" their programming or why these things would ever require any reprogramming to begin with. Any ideas anyone? Did we miss anything in our checklist? Thanks.

I am looking for a car that looks good, good on gas, and as cheap as I can get that combo so I saw an 04 Civic Hybrid today. Its in really good condition, clean title, maintained really well, hasn't been in any accidents but has 137,000 miles on it. I can probably get it for $8,000. Is that a good deal or should I keep looking?

I have a Ford Focus with 33 K on it. I got a letter from the dealer I bought it from asking me to come in and see if I can trade it in. The salesperson told me that the value of my old car has reduced to 8k and I bought it for 14,999 (I owe around 13K on it). He is saying I can buy a new Ford Focus with 0 miles on it and no negative equity on it along with 5 year warranty and at 12k. Do you think it is a good deal? The only thing that would be a minor issue is that I would be making a little more (20 bucks more) then what I am paying now as payments on the old car.

I'm having a problem with my 2000 W-Reg Jaguar S-Type - Basically, the heating system doesn't work. The A/C works, and all the rest, but when you put the setting to warm, cold air comes out. No matter what setting you use, it's still cold air that comes out, and I've tried various combinations to make sure that there is no other way to make it work. I'm assuming that maybe the heater is broken? Radiator? Some wiring somewhere? (Although I doubt it, since everything else works perfectly). Anyone else had this problem? And what happened? Thanks.

OK, I'm searching the market at the moment for some audio equipment for my car. Really, I dont have much knowledge on the subject except i want something that will kick out high quality base and sound great. And also impress!

How can you tell if a Sub, Amp or Speakers are actually any good?

Have a budget of 160 for this at the moment.

Is this any good?

After I start the my 1972 Nova SS (350 4 bolt main, bored .60 over, TH350 auto tranny) and put it in gear, sometimes there is a rattle that sounds like it is the passenger exhaust. However, it only does it sometimes and it is a very deep rattle. You can feel the rattle on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel. We have checked transmission bolts, exhaust bolts, everything. What could it be? Could it be my transmission crossmember being loose?

My son was in an accident and all the police on the scene and police reports filed determined he was 100% not at fault. The insurance co. refuses to pay saying that police reports are only a "tool" in determining whos at fault. So we took them to small claims court to try to get the $1500 for our car the other guy totalled. The court was in our favor but the other guys ins. co. filed an appeal and its going to a higher court where his co. - State Farms lawyer (they had a lawyer go to small claims for them) says that we should get a lawyer (of course). Why would this go to a higher court? Wouldnt it just be a waste of their time? If the police AND the small claims court both side in OUR favor why is State Farm trying to appeal over a measily $1500?? Wont this be laughed out of court? Should we really get a lawyer or just rep. ourselves? This is getting stupid i could see if it were for thousands of dollars. Anyone got any ideas that would help? By the way State Farm SUCKS!!!!

Dont tell me to look in the manual or talk to the dealer. I WANT INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE WHOVE WORKED ON THESE CARS! ----- I Imagine Synthetic would be better for the transmission. But you can only drain 60% or so of the fluid & the rest is in the torque converter, so it is ok that it mixed with synthetic. What kind is good?

The headlight burned out on the driver's side of my '96 Toyota Corolla. Does anyone know how to change it? Does the battery need to be removed? We tried removing a couple of screws to detach the lamp from the car, but that didn't work. It looks like there may be a couple of bolts that require a wrench to remove them - do those need to be taken off? This is quite frustrating! Help!
