The weird thing is that a few weeks ago it was making the noise and after I got a car wash it stopped and this week it came back.

Any idea?

hi all,

My friend thought the transmition on her 04 kia rio might be slipping..her definition of " slipping" was the car seemed to take an extra second to accelerate( it didn't like jerk ..basically the car revved a lil..perhaps she had to put a bit more foot into it
the car is only 3-4 years old..but has like 100,000miles on it.
I check the tranny fluid. was low..filled it to the proper level..road tested it..seemed to take hills fine.

if her tranny is slipping..what would the car be doing?
the car wasn't bad on power..it is a kia after all..just seemed like perhaps her fluel injecters might be clogged up..

would this account for a lil less power/ than usual..eat up more gas? she just drove the car on a trip down to dallas..said it seemed like the car used more gas coming home than on the way down..
oil changed like 2 months ago/new oil filter/airfilter

I have checked the fuses and changed the turn signal switch. Additionally, I have changed both headlights. I am going to change the headlight switch this weekend. Before I tear my dash apart, is there another option I should explore?

I'm going to Wyotech next year, and I need to start buying tools for auto repair. For the professionals out there, what brand of tools do you recommend? I use Snap-On at school, and they seem to work great, but are very pricey. At home, I use Craftsman, and have never had a problem with them, but I'm not sure about how well they would hold up over the years. I have also heard Cornwell is very good, not sure of their price range though.....

1. What are the lights on the roofs of some pickups and trucks called? they are orange, small, and right on top of where the windshield ends. Look this truck has them: http://www.edmunds.com/media/reviews/top10/towing.vehicles/04.dodge.ram3500.500.jpg

And, are they only for looks or do they serve some sort of purpose? Well, thanks for your time.

i got an actron and found out some codes causing my check engine light. my question is how do i find out what to do about them? any suggestion? for example, one of them is "MAF/VAF CIRCUIT LOW INPUT." do i just replace the MAF sensor? another is "MAP/BARO CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT." just replace that sensor also? i'm not expecting the mechanical answers, just asking does anyone know a place to find out what to do about codes when you identify them. thanks in advance.

I have an Emglo and a DeWalt air compressors, both with pumps KU model, a new pump costs around 350 to 380....plus s&h.
I found a pump Central Hydraulics for $120 w/ 2 yr warranty, but there's a line going to the head of the KU that the C.H. don't have which I think it releases a bit of pressure to start the engine ...it's not the safety valve.
Any idea how to hook it up? or what kind of valve do i need to get? or just cancel it with a cap?

I am interviewing next week for a job in Atlantic IA. I've been doing some research and I'm a little concerned about the town - or lack there of. I would like to live where there is some stuff to do - I was thinking in the Des Moines/West Des Moines area.

The only concern I have is the commute. I currently live in a very populated city and even though I live about 10 miles from my job - it takes me at least 1/2 hour to get home.

I'm just concerned about the drive, mileage etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

My check engine light is on for my 99' Honda Civic LX. I told the Carx guys my car didn't start the first time in the cold morning, theres a clanging when I accelerate, and that the oil/coolant are fine. I also told them the car didn't accelerate forward when the check engine light came on but reversed just fine. They took it all into consideration said to be back in an hour. I sat across at Starbucks to watch what they did, they pulled the car in, looked at it for 15 minutes, parked it back outside. I walked over, as if, to see what was the issue, if they found it. They eventually, 5 minutes later, said it was the cars computer board that was the issue and it would need to be fixed at a dealership. I asked why the car made a clanging sound when accelerating and he said "The computer board is malfunctioning giving mixed signals to the engine". Is this possible to diagnose in 15 minutes without a diagnostic analysis?
