Cars & Transportation - 9 December 2007

I was in a car wreck and the lady hit me on my front left side and ever since then my streering wheel needs to be uside down to go straight and i hear this awful grinding sound when i make major turns i.e pulling into a parking lot. I think its my alignment but i am not sure.

usually after it has run for awhile this problem rears it's head. almost always when i come to stop at a light or after i stop (for gas) and restart engine it is more likely to happen. i know it is a sensor because i replaced fuel pump. fuel pump was going bad as it turned out (no fuel pressure or not up to spec) so i replaced it.
I need to know who knows this problem and / or anyone who had the same problem and fixed it. Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), crank and cam position sensors, any ideas? it sometimes happens at crusing speed on highway so no way to predict conditions that occur to cause the engine shutdown.
I dont have enough $ to replace all the sensors and / or the EMT computer (unless you know that is what it is).
Email me at rrb6699@yahoo.com
thanks

My employer issued me a vehicle to use to get to and from work, this was not a favor it was in the contact(I work Security). And this car had all types of things wrong with it. Brakes sqealed, front tires are bald, rear tires not much diffrent, the windshield wipers didnt work, so with all these things wrong with the car I cant believe my employer would make me drive this thing....in the snow(with chains at least). so what I am asking is, when you run a fleet of cars dont you have an obligation to make sure they are safe to drive in all weather conditons? and this isnt just one car most of the cars in the fleet are like this. I could write up a laundry list of things wrong with these cars, and if I am not the only one that thinks this is wrong who can I contact to let them know my employer is making his employees drive unsafe vehicle? thanks for your time.

I have found the service manual, but have not been able to find one for the original operators manual. Just bought the atv and no book. Honda wants a small fortune for one. Thanks

I have a vaxuhall astra t reg and the wipers seem to be playing a game when i use them. altough it went though the m.o.t like it it's very distracting when driving. it seems as though the parking brake has gone. When i put them on intermint they go up and sit there for a 1 or 2 then go down. When i put them on normal speed they work ok untill i shut them off then they just stop where ever. i've got a nack to stoping them now put would it be a big job to do myself (i have little skills though) or what would it cost at a rough figure?

You see these black things on the front of cars in USA and wonder why they do it.

Why do they do it? I am sure it's not to add beauty.

As I was driving I noticed council workers were doing lawn mowing on the side of the road and then something hit the side of my car causing dents and scratches. There were no cars either side of mine at the time. I notified council immediately and they passed on photos and details of the incident to their insurer who are denying to pay the claim. They are insisting they are not liable So frustrating!!!
