Service Engine Light came on - Rough Idle, hesitation when gas pedal pressed. Took the truck to shop. Replaced spark plugs, cleaned fuel system.
Truck still hesitates from a stop and in the 30-40 mph range. Feels like it misses sometimes when stopped at at a stop light in Drive. No miss when in Neutral. Service Engine Light has not come on.

What do y'all think.

This question goes out to all the car electricians.

I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse and for some reason the following won’t turn on: front headlights, turns signal lights, backlights, and dashboard lights. How can I fix this problem? Where would I start? Where can I find the wiring diagram on the car. Would you recommend I look for a fuse or are there no fuses for the problem that I am having?

Earlier when I used to get my oil changes done at Jiffy Lube, I was asked a couple of times if I wanted to get a system cleaning treatment. From the way they explained it sounded like they would drain the old oil, fill it with some kind of a cleaning chemical, wait for half an hour, drain it and then fill the new oil. Of course this would drain me off $40... I always declined. Now I have started to do the oil changes myself and was wondering if I can do this "cleaning" myself?

Is it really beneficial to do this? Would you please recommend a couple of chemicals that are available in market for this purpose?

About every other time I try to start my truck it makes a grinding sound like the starter is not engaging the fly wheel all the way. I just assumed the starter was going out, so I replaced it. Its still doing exactly the same thing. Sometimes it starts right up. Sometimes it makes the grinding sound, I turn the key back, and then I try it again and it starts right up. the batteries are putting out 12.6V, so I don't think thats the problem. What else could it be?

Its a 2004 Silverado 2500HD 4x4 Diesel.

Everybody says that the 944 turbo has the potential of being blindingly fast if modded. What are the best performance for the money mods I can add for a budget of around $1500? I hear that the 944 turbo has all this potential because it was a race car: so what was the difference between the race car and the street car in terms of engine mods? How can I put it in "race tune"?

My son just turned 1 and I am anxiously looking forward to getting him his first dirtbike on his 2nd birthday. Of course his mom thinks it is too dangerous but I have been riding for many years and feel that as long as I teach him safety he will be fine. What do you all think?

I just don't get it. Depending on your age, you probably have a brother, cousin, uncle, father, grandfather, great unlce, or great grandfather, that fought in World War II. WW2 was only about 60 years ago. that is not a very long time. In that war we fought several nations, but the main two were Japan and Germany. While the Germans were no saints, NO other country in the war was as brutal as Japan. When our fighting boys were overwhelmed and were forced to surrender, they would either be shot on the spot, tortured to death, or transported to a POW camp where they would be starved or tortured. The Japanese were(maybe still are) savages. How can any self-respecting American buy a vehicle manufactured by the grandchildren of such barbarians. Yes, they are beginning to open plants in America, but GM has many more plants here than Toyota, Honda, and Nissan combined. Domestic companies also pay more taxes.

I expect some hostile answers. Thank you and have a nice day!!

I was basically just driving down the freeway and it just turned off on me, it wants to start...its cranking over but it wont fire up and stay on. I replaced the ignition coil and the fuel pump is engaging when you turn the key over so it isn't the fuel pump, i also changed to fuel filter. My dad thinks the timing belt snapped? What can you guys think of? thanks for the help!

Can anybody give me a detailed explanation of the different parts of an engine, how they work, and what effects they have on other parts of the car that allow it to eventually move? I'm no engineer, in fact, I have next to no mechanical know-how, so imagine you're talking to a very small child...
Thanks.
