Besides the fact that they may or may not save your life, are there any studies of the effect of car airs bags on people in car accidents? Because when that white fluffy thing pops out of the the car steering wheel, it can cause whiplash in the neck and some physical ailments.

I checked my OBD, socket #6 was1's, but socket #2 had a 3-2-2 and a 1-2-1 which I think both relate to an Air Mass Meter issue ($$), but will I have to take to a mechanic?

The exhaust smelled of gas and the spark plugs were covered with it when I checked off of a quick 10 second idle, but i don't understand how i could drive 200 highway miles between stall outs (in the matter of a night)? I've had trouble before with my timing belt slipping and i don't know if the problem could be that at high rpm's the timing matches up well enough to keep me going, but in the driveway only 2 out of 4 are firing?

Anyway, i would really appreciate any help anyone can give to me, and if you need any more information from me, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.

How old do you have to be to get your learner's permit in PA. I have heard that you can be younger than 16. Is that true? Do you think I would be able to get it a couple days early?

Links to where you found the information would be useful.

Thanks in advance ♥

at the moment if i stop accelerating for a minute or so (especially when cold) the engine cuts out, this becomes a problem at junctions and in traffic. i have a haynes manual but i need the steps in basic terms, if i can save money by doing it myself it would be great.

Randomly about once a week it takes 6-8 seconds of turning over to start. Doesn't necessarily happen after sitting for a while - once it happened after sitting for 1/2 hour. I always turn the key and wait for it to warm before cranking. Last night it didn't start all all (first time this has happened). This morning it started right up!?

I have a 2003 Dodge Neon, which I bought new. It has black cloth interior. I have never spilled anything on these seats, but they look like an orgy took place in there. White stains all over the seats. It's disgusting. I've tried shampooing and it removed some of the stains, but not many. The driver's side is the worst, but it is starting on the passenger side now. What's noteworthy is that in the past 2 years I've gotten married and obtained a dog, so there is more passenger time in my car than ever before. I have no kids. Also, the car has not been garage kept so the sun could be effecting the fabric. Any ideas? In the meantime, I'm buying seat covers after the holidays.

It has about 100k miles on it. I was hoping to get the twin turbo version but this seems cheaper? The car works fine and it has no damage. You got you ppl think? ( I plan on tuning/modding it!)

(about 18 inch W & H) I want to get this from CA to WA, don't really care how long it takes, $ is my main factor. UPS wants $130 & Fed Ex wants $98, thats kinda alot for me :( It is boxed and shipping tape wrapped like a mummy already to go ;)

Looks like this is still pending on my record even though I am cleared at the DMV. I don't want to be in trouble, is this a formality?

I have a '96 Chevy Lumina sedan and one of my brake lights goes out only when my left turn signal is on. When the left turn signal is not on, the brake light works fine. I replaced the bulb, and the same thing happens.

Anyone know what else could be causing this or what else I should check?

im looking to get a new car from my 1986 cadillac. im getting about 12 mph and a maxima is around 20-24 and also regualr gas not plus. for arguments sake, if i get double gas mph and im going through 50 dollars a week, that would be 25 dollars a week i save. in a month? 100. thats 1200 a year.

anyway, i found a 1995 maxima that was replaced with all 1998 maxima parts. the owner had 2 maximas, (98 and 95) and somebody hit him in the 98 one. he took all the parts off it and put it on the 95 including the SE rims. so it looks just like a 98. it has 112,000 miles on it and he just rebuilt the tranny which is normal on anycar around 100+ miles.

is this worth it? it has cloth interior not leather and is this a reliable car? THANKS!

My 2000 grand am makes a loud, even, high pitched squeal upon starting. Can only hear it from outside of the car, not when driving. It is a separate sound from the evenly running motor. Serpentine belt was replaced about 6 months ago. Just started this yesterday. Is there anything i should be looking for under there to narrow down the problem before i take her to the car dr?

I have seen this question on here a million times. I have the same problem with the SRS light being on ALL THE TIME. I have seen all the answers but I have never seen anyones answer as to what would happen if you just left it on all the time and never fixed it? Does it mean my airbags wont go off if i get in an accident? I've had it on for almost a year and I might as well leave it like that if its not hurting anything.

I own a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. My heat last winter worked great, but this winter it's refusing to heat up the vehicle like it used to. It it all digital, I will set the heat to 85 degress but yet still feels as if the air isn't very warm being blown out. I have a full antifreeze and I don't know what to check or how to fix the problem. Any advice would help, thanks!
