Cars & Transportation - 12 December 2007

My car is old. This year it failed the emissions test. I took it to the shop, and they said nothing is wrong with the car. They said to drive it around for a while to clear out the engine, and then it should test okay. Does this make sense? If so, how long should I drive it around before going in? I am confused.

Some days it will surge and some days it wont and i dont know what is the problem. It wont surge when the engine is cold but when the engine gets hot it starts to do it.

I'm pretty sure there's no frame underneath, and yes I could just look when I'm home but this is probably easier.

thanks!

When changing an oil filter you put a little bit of the old oil round the seal. Might it be better to put some of the new oil round the seal instead, since the old oil is usually full of crap?

how come factory chrome rims can be left on during the winter but you have to take of aftermarket chrome rims for the winter. I ask because I have a set of 18" black with a machine finish lip that I want to leave on for the winter

I drive a Chevy Malibu and my friend has a Chevy S-10 (small pick up truck) he has winter tires that i want to buy. I checked the size of the tires and it does fit to my Malibu. He said, check with rims too if that would fit to your Malibu you can get them too. Are the rim sizes differ from tire size? Tires are attached to rims, and if the tires will fit to my car shouldn't the wheels that go along with it too?
