I just got a new gas tank put on. When I tried to drive it the other day it started smoking in the inside of the car through the heating vents(very bad) and there was antifreeze on floor of the drivers side. I want to get the car fixed but I don't know what's wrong. I don't have enough money to take it to the shop for them to see what's wrong with it. it's better if I know the problem then go get it fixed. I can use all the help I can get thanks.

P.S. If you're not going to post serious answers please don't post at all. I do not have the money to purchase a new car so do not say that either.

My Camaro has been mis-firing badly. It idles very rough and get's a "dead miss" usually while accelerating or while climbing hills. I have already replaced the spark plugs, wires and even purchased an ignition coil. I've tried replacing each ignition coil with the new one, but it runs exactly the same each time. I've considered that the problem may be in a idle or throttled related sensor, but whatever is causing this nightmare isn't "throwing a code". Can anyone offer any ideas? I plan to put some Lucas fuel system cleaner in the tank in case any injectors have gotten dirty. Much thanks to any and all responders!

i want probably a 2008 honda accord (my parents wont get me anything too flashy). i was wondering about how much would my down payment be? i dont think i have a credit score since im a minor but i dont know how that works either, would it depend on my parents credit score? im guessing minors cant techincally own cars........? like it would be under their names or we would cosign or something

i have $1500 saved up and my parents will chip in for down payment, i work two jobs so i can def pay the monthly quote. im jus wondering how the credit score thing will work and how i can calculate the down payment. basically i need to know how much cash i need. im trying to pay as much as possible so my parents wont have to come out of their pockets too much.

and yes they said i HAVE to have a new car....

I drive an '06 Toyota Tacoma... I keep the PSI at about 50 for the tires, but one of them loses pressure and gets down to under 30 every 3 weeks or so. At first I thought it was just the colder temperature, and I don't think it's a hole. How can I get it fixed? How much should it cost to fix it? Should I get it replaced?

Thanks!

i have owned my car for 3yrs now but when i tried to renew my registration this year the dmv told me i dont own the car anymore but they sent me a renewal form in the mail anyway. They are not being helpful at all. When i pulled a car fax report i learnt that my car has been sold twice this year but i havent sold it to anyone and still have my title and actual physical car with me. Anyone have any idea what the problem is here?

For the past 2 days, I've had frost forming on the inside of my windshield. This has not happened before (this is a new car) and I'm just wondering how this could happen? I don't know how moisture could be getting in the car. And any tips on how to get rid of it? It takes forever to go away and blocks most of my windshield.. I'm worried it may cause an accident since it blocks so much of my view.

Ok right now I am paying 425 dollars for my car monthly ( i am one month late rt now )
and i am also paying 200 dollars monthly for my insurance ( i was late past 2 months so , 400 dollars are due on the 20th ) ..


I got a job $12/hr . 40 hours / week , at this company last week , today is my 3rd day

Now I can pay the car payment for the past month ( i have close to 400 in my bank )
and i can hopefully pay the Insurance also by the 20th
( using the First paycheck from my 40 hour/week job )

But this is too much . I am driving a honda civic now .
I dn't think this is a good idea , I want to save up enough money so I can get a job as an electrical engineer ( what i got my degree in )

Oh man , i dn't know what i was drinking when I Got this car. I guess I wanted to show everyone that I can buy a car too . it was so stupid , Now that i think back on it .

Mann....( because my credit was so messed up , i even used my dad's credit also )

What do I do now??

Where is a respectful Drivers Education School in Chicago, Illinois? A school that has excellent reputation and worthwhile driving instructors that are patient and have respect? Also reasonable prices for the courses. I've tried the Yellow Pages, so I DON'T NEED THAT ADVICE. Something that's affordable for my pocket. Serious responses ONLY!

I have been paying $150 for my car insurance for the past year, but now my dad just told me that it went up and know i have to pay $250. Why is that if I haven't got into any accident or anything. Or is he lying to me?

Its a 97 Saturn sl2 with 130,000 miles. In the last six months it has had a new: starter, alternator,battery, radiator and fan belt.
It seems to me what i need to do is find out how many more miles I can expect to get (it's hard to find unbiased info) and consider how much it will be to fix the next issues.
What will be next to go, how much $ and how many miles can I expect to get out of the car? When should I say enough is enough and get a new car? btw money is tight. thanx in advance

This morning my steering wheel started shaking pretty bad while I was going about 45mph. It stopped, and I noticed one of my front wheels had a very strong brake smell coming from it. My brakes are working fine and aren't squeaking, they were replaced about two years ago. Any thoughts?

I sold my car as is with the title and everything. I sold it as is by typing up a statement and having the buyer and myself and a witness sign. The statement also mentioned that a down payment was received and that payments must be made each week as part of the agreement. My question is must I give the buyer receipts for each time they make a payment? What can the buyer do if I didn't? And what can I do if the buyer stops making payments for 2 weeks and i have not given any receipts previously?

What is the most you would pay per gallon of gas before you make MAJOR changes in your lifestyle or protest? I don't mean like buying less soda during the day. I mean more like carpooling even if the hours are off (meaning sitting at work waiting or going in hours early), only driving your car when you absolutely HAVE to, pressuring lawmakers to get alternative energy pushed through faster for vehicles, riding a bike to work even if it's a long distance, or getting rid of your truck or SUV even if you need it due to your situation (kids, haul items alot, etc...)?
I ask this question because recent legislation is giving I beleive about 10 years for carmakers to increase fuel economy, however at the current rate of fuel cost increase, we'd be paying in the range of $7 to $9 a gallon by then. This I seeing being an amount that would price many people out of being able to drive. I am getting worried. Any other opinions?

I just bought a 1987 GMC suburban 350 4x4 automatic as a project truck but the instrument panel dosen't work the lights come on but the gauges don't work. the spoeedometer and odometer do nothing, while the others sometimes float, but mainly do nothin, i checked fuses and grounds and every thing looked ok.i also checked the wheel speed sonsor and it was fine. someone in the past has put a rather expensive stereo system in it and removed the amplifier would have something to do with it?
