Cars & Transportation - 28 November 2007

Well the mechanic put a 2nd pump in Tuesday after me telling him I tapped it and it started for me. so after doing this he wanted to keep it over last night and try fto start it again this morning guess what it DID NOT START just as it DID NOT START for me for many days except when I banged the gas tank
hE SAID IT IS NOT THE FUEL PUMP AND NOW THINKS IT IS THE IGNITION SWITCH
I also noted that the colder it is the mmore difficult it is to start too which brought me to the pump but dosen't seem to be the problem\ One other note is when I personally went to the mechanic and tried to start it with no start right with the mechanic he lifted the hood and un done a bolt and connected a guage --and asked me to start it and then it started so he took the guage off and told me the pressure was fine.
ANY MORE IDEAS FROM ANYONE

My Ford Focus is making a random clicking noise on the left side towards the bottom.It clicks constantly when the car is running, but the faster the car gets the faster the clicking is. It started when I had to slam on my brakes yesterday. It's not overheating and the check engine light is not on. What could it be?

Ok so from my ignorant perspective I think these two would be the best options, but as mentioned I know very little about them. I know different kinds of welders are better for different kinds of welding, and mostly what he would be doing is fabrication for cars and trailers etc. Would either of these two work for that purpose, would he need any extra equipment(such as gas whatever those big tanks are ussually attached to the welders), and would either of these two be even worth it?( I know they're on the really low end of pricing for welders, but thats the only reason I considered getting him one was because I don't have to spend $1000 to get him one...

I've been emailing this person back and forth since he has seen my Jeep for sale on yahoo autos. He asked me some general questions about mileage, condition, whatnot. Now he says he needs a photocopy of the title before the bank will issue him a loan for the car. Is this a normal requirement of banks before they loan money, or is this another online scam?

I need some new tires for my truck,a nd am looking at several different tires. I want something that looks pretty aggressive, but still will last on the road. I really dont wan tto spend over $150-170 on one tire, so what is cheap and looks good? I really dont get into mud alot, but i do some, so i do want something that will do decent in mud. Ive been looking at Cooper Discoverer ST and STT, Wild Country TXR's and Pro Comp All terrains. I am running the stock rims, so i am looking at 285's on the stock 16 inch rims. Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Thanks.

I just bought a new car on Oct 18. Everything was great then i got a phone call from the place i bought the car. I got the call on Nov. 10th. saying that I signed the wrong contract. That Mazda didnt approve my loan but a place called Wachovia did. They told me to brong my 1st months payment with me as well. So we went up there the next day, signed the new contract, the old one was shredded and i gave them my check for the amount of the 1st months payment which was due about a week later. Well i just recieved a phone call today from Wachovia saying that my payment is 11 days late and my credit is drastically dropping. I am FURIOUS! I called the place i bought the car and they said the check cleared. I called wachovia and they said that they are lying. Now they will not return my calls! What do i do?! Im so upset! Thank you for your advice!!

Ok so I know it is not really possessed but the lights come on for no reason and the locks lock and unlock by themselves, which causes the battery to die eventually. I know it has to be an electrical problem, but is there an easy way to fix it without having to take it to an electrical shop.

I have a small pin hole leak on my radiator so I am trying to add a bottle of "Stop Leak" and some coolant, however, I struggled, finally got the cap to twist, but it won't come off. There are two notches on either side where the cap is attached to the radiatior , but I can't get the cap to slip over these notches. HELP! It is a '98 Dodge Neon. It has been sitting over night so I know it is cool enough to remove the cap. Thanks for your help!

This happened at the beginning of this month, she admitted fault and said she would pay for repairs if we didn't open a claim. My parents decided to open a claim and now my claims adjuster is trying to get a hold of her but she's nowhere to be found! I don't have any info other than her number, name, and email. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR HOW I SHOULD'VE GOTTEN HER INFORMATION, OKAY?? I KNOW THAT ALREADY. So now I don't know what to do...track her down...get a lawyer?
