Cars & Transportation - 30 December 2007

the engine was stored without a filter and not only did water enter the oil passage to the pump, but also damaged the threads on the oil filter spin-on fitting.

Thanks for the help.

Why will people their doctor everything and their mechanic nothing? As a Master Auto Tech, I have people bring me in running problems or other maladies all the time. They give as little information as possible They foolishly think the less they say the less it costs. It usually works the other way around. How many times has the customer said, "It, was just fine than all of a sudden..." , Only to find out after wasting much time (Translate their money) they tried to do something and screwed it all up. Something that couldn't possibly have screwed up with out a human idiot messing with it! For any one who thinks auto techs are idiots, look in the mirror and you will see who the real idiots are. Autos are very complex machines and anyone who is not a professional in the craft has no idea how challanging it is. I've been at it for over 30 years and I havent seen it all yet. But dont lie or hold information from your mechanic and expect to be helping your self.

I wrecked my car and its been standing at this place for about two months now the fees are ridiculous, and the man won't release it unless I pay him for the car, its a 1999 vw jetta with 80k miles on it with a broken radiator and about 3000 $ worth of damage to the front right end. Im only 19 and Im broke so I can't afford to pay a 1,000 just to get it out then fees and everything would kill me. My question is what is going to happen if I just never pick it up?

I have a 92 plymouth grand voyager with approx. 180k miles on original engine. Not running great, but still had alot of power. For about the last month, I have not been filling the tank - usually only about half full. I also have not filled it as early as I should (below E). Yesterday, I drove about 5 miles and it was running ok. I stopped for gas & decided to fill it up completely. When I started the car after, it would idle only for a few seconds & then die. I limped home, with it stalling whenever the RPM's dropped below 1500. To start it I had to gun the engine. On hills, it had very little power. At first I thought that the car had finally died and I would need to replace it right away. Then I started thinking that, because it was running ok before I got gas, maybe that was what was wrong. If it is, is there something inexpensive I can do to correct it? I am single mom with 2 boys & am wiped out after Christmas & rent. I appreciate any help you can you can give.

She has about 105k miles right now, and I drive about 10k per year. It has never given me any problems, and I maintain it fairly well. Are there any major repairs I will likely encounter in the next few years?

On a side note: I keep getting pressure to sell it from my family because "it's going to breakdown soon", but I'm perfectly happy with my car... Frankly, I love my car, and not having a car note (unlike the rest of my family) makes it all that much better.

My Dodge started smoking excessively after Dodge flashed the ECM with the supposedly "latest and greatest" flash program. The fuel mileage also dropped 1mpg after the flash. It doesn't smoke at road speed, except under heavily acceleration, and smokes heavily at slow speed acceleration. The air cleaner is brand new. Any ideas?

I am interested in them. I dont know where to buy them or know how much they run for. So if you can tell me how much they sell for or know where I can buy one that would be great. Most of all if you have one or know someone who is selling one. Please tell me,Tyler
