Cars & Transportation - 20 December 2007

I seem to have no clutch pressure. The master fluid reservoir was empty. I filled it. However when I manual move the clutch up and done the fluid in the reservoir gets low. The only place that there seems to be a leak is where both the master and slave cylinder clutch line connects to the clutch accumulator(?)(think that's what it's called). I want to replace, both the master and slave cylinder and the clutch line. Just don't know how to get at the clutch line. Help!!! Thanks

My car Corolla 1995 Conquest AE102X F/inj need a new waterpump. Some one ask $350.00 to finish it at my home. (Parts and Labour)

01. Is this a acceptable deal. (I mean isn't it too cheap)
02. Do I need to change time belt at the same time. (Don't know when the last change occured)
Your advice is appreciated.

Hello, recently while driving my car at speeds roughly between 60-80mph I have gotten the feeling that I either abruptly took my foot of the gas, or slightly tapped the brake - it's not a hard braking feeling, just a sudden lag ... it's weird. The tac, mpg meter and spdo all are normal with no movement - it's only happened about 10 times the past week (I drive 80+ miles per day). Not sure what this could be - any ideas?

It happens when i come to stop at a light or after i stop (for gas) and crusing down the highway it starts to cut off and i have to restart on road.
I think it is some sensor because i replaced:

Fuel pump - (in tank) It was going bad anyway as it turned out (no fuel pressure - not up to spec) so this was good
TPS throttle position sensor
Ignition Coil
Distributor Coil
Idle Air Cntrol
Rotor/distbutor
Plug wires
Plugs
Air filter.
Of course, It runs much better as these DID need changing but, it still stalls. Seems to be no way to predict conditions that occur to cause the engine

shutdown. I noticed the lights did go out once when it was about to stall. But that doesnt happen every time.

I dont have enough $ to replace all the sensors and / or the EMT computer (unless you know that is what is wrong).
The van usually starts back up but sometimes with difficulty. Sometimes I must turn off the key and try again to get it started. Otherwise, if I start

cranking it then it doesn't fire up. It's like it is not getting fuel, but, see details below for what I have replaced.

Anyway, no codes come back. it failed while on the analyzer and they still couldnt figure it out. I was told a relay could be bad too. I switched all the

identical relays around but no luck.
--------------
The parts I want to try next are expensive so I am trying to narrow this down:

Ignition Switch
Crank position sensor
Cam position sensor
MCU (computer)

Hey I was wondering were to find rims for my 1986 El Camino Conquista? Something that has a selection and not just Iroc rims.

Also I did do a Google search and they do not have stores that sell El Camino rims from what I saw on the Google search.

please only answer if pretty sure. the dealers tell me 2009 at earliest, but i dont believe them. concept car versions have been shown in motoring media for well over a year, and i understand the actual rel road going version was on show at New York motor show earlier this year, i have seen pictures of both an orange and black 2 tone concept and the real thing in silver on Top Gear tv. i understand its rear wheel drive and the top 2 engine derivatives are a turbo and also a v8 in lieu of my present v6 and that 300bhp! is being talked about!!!!!! bring it on! but when, i dont want to buy a new series3 in the new year only to be superceded by the replacement! that would appear in the dictionary as "depreciation" !!!

Someone hit my car and swore up and down that I hit her. The police did not write up a report since both of us were able to drive away. Now I've received a note from her insurance company that says:

"We've completed our investigation concerning the above refernced accident. Our investigation indicates that red light dispute; no evidence to support either version. Please understand that our obligation is only pay those claims which our insured is liable. Based on the above facts, we have concluded that our insured is not liable for htis loss. Therefore, we must respectfully deny your claim."


WTF STUPID *&%*^(* HIT MY CAR !!!!

What can be done at this point?????

I was driving and all of a sudden it felt like it ran out of gas. I got it started but it ran rough after that. I know it was low on fuel, so I went and got some gas, and it still ran rough. So I will start small and increase my efforts to minimize cost. Any other helpful information is appreciated, thanks.

It hit me and the police report said its his fault. I have no insurance so the trucks insurance company looks at my car and says the care is worth $1,500 but the damage is $3,700. so they say they can either take my car and give me $1,700 for it or I keep it and they give me $1,200

I don't see how thats helping me. It seems like I am coming out worse. If I keep the car and they give me the 1,200 how will I get my car fixed if the damge is worth 3,700?

Can they do this or are they trying to get over

ok...I actually know how to do everything when changing a tire except the exact place where you put the jack under your car. If someone were to put it there for me, I could change the tire, but if I were alone, I obviously don't have someone there to put it in it's proper place. I have heard some cars have a lip under the car near the wheel - is that true? if so, where exactly is this lip?Also, if there is no lip, where exactly do you place the jack so you raise the car properly? All answers appreciated!
