Cars & Transportation - 13 December 2007

I have a 02 Mustang GT that began to shut off when I stop at a light or put it in park with the engine running. When I first turn the car on everything seems fine but when it warms up and ive been driving for like 5min. it begings to idle rough and turn off. A shop recently replaced my IAC valve, intake manifold, a coil and the injectors because the car was put-puting and idled rough... it worked fine for about 2 months, untill now. Ive checked to see if I have any broken hoses but I cant see anything visible... Any Ideas on what this could be?

New York City's uniquely high rate of public transit use makes it one of the most energy-efficient cities in the United States. Gasoline consumption in the city today is at the rate of the national average in the 1920s.

What is the rest of USA doing. Why public transports like buses are not too good in USA?
It is an opportunity for private players to start bus services and make money; save fuel. Look at Europe.

I have a 1978 Chevy Caprice Wagon with a 350 engine. The car is rusted out, it has 342,000 miles on its origional engine and transmission. The car runs like new yet, and is very quiet. I changed oil every 3000 miles and kept up the maintenance according to the owner's manual. I have never had any trouble with this car, and the mechanic said that according to the compression test, it could go about another 100,000 miles. The car starts good every day, even in the cold. I might never find another car as durable as this one. Should I recondition the body on it?

Has anyone done much research as to the effectiveness and its effect it has on the environment during regular usage without wear and tear on engine and other parts and components? If
Kerosene and Moth Balls can't be used, why not experiment using similar choices/combinations of chemicals?

How come every time a 16 year old asks a question about a BMW or Mercedes or something that they're getting for their birthday, people have to be jealous and rude? I don't think you should judge people about something like that. Why should you hate someone whos parents got a better job then yours? It's not like they can control what their parents do. Everyone says how they have to work for their money and kids don't deserve a car. How would you know? Maybe they do.

I drive a 2001 Mercury cougar, and I'm having a problem with it. I was driving around today and the check engine light came on. Then a little exclamation point inside a circle starting flashing under the speedometer, and the brakes were kind of squealing. Also the car was driving funny, it kind of felt like it "chugging". Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong with it? I'm taking it over to a mechanic tomorrow, but in the meantime I'm getting worried. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? I hope it won't be expensive to fix.

im interested in buying this car but the guy says that he doesn't "believe" that i should pay tax again for the car so he said he would transfer the car in my name as a gift (when we go to the insurance place etc.)... is there another reason why he would want to do this (to scam me etc.) other than the fact that I don't have to pay tax??

I have a 98 GMC Z71 with a 5.7 V8. I was loosing coolant last week and saw white fog from my tail pipe. I topped off with 50/50 . I drove the truck for two days when the heater didn't work again so I figured it was the coolant level again. Again I added a gallon of 50/50 to the radiator. (Be advised that after adding the coolant, I parked over fresh snow to check for leaks. None was found externally). Any way driving my truck yesterday, it began overheating bad so I stopped and opened my hood. Checking the radiator (No pressure expelled) it was again low. I pulled the truck into a local farmers house and He suggested that I check my dipstick. Sure enough there was a coffee cream substance half way up my stick. Question is:
Is this terminal? Can the oil be cleaned out and replaced? If I replaced the head gaskets, can the engine be cleaned out before replacing with new oil? Because it is coolant, does any or all the bearings need replacing?
Thanks

Will I be pressured to lie to my customers and charge them for unnecessary work? I ask this seriously because I would not want to become a mechanic if I have to be dishonest.
