I have a 1998 Ford Escort. It is a medium green color supposedly a "metallic" clearcoat paint. The trunk and hood of the car are getting lighter in color than the rest of the car and its worrying/bothering me.Its not horrible and the surface is still fairly smooth, just not as smooth as the sides of the car.. I heard about oxidation but they said that the stuff used for oxidation is bad for clear coat..What should I use to deal with this, will the paint ever get back to "normal"

My car won't start. It sounds lie the battery, but I only replaced the battery late last year. I had a look under the hood and there's this sort of blue powder stuff on the connecty things (sorry i dont know mechanical terms). Could that have something to do with it?

What else could it be?

I have a 1987 Dodge dakota. It's wired for a 6 round plug. When I wire my trailer I have just two lights in the back when ever I turn the right or the left blinker on they both dimly blink like hazard lights. When I tap the brakes the trailer lights don't come on and when I turn my night lights on they trailer lights don't work. Just when I turn the blinkers on and I can't even get that right. Any ideas?

My brother has a car that he keeps in mint condition. He only drives the car 15 miles every 3 months. He has not changed the oil in two years and it is still clear. I told him he should change it cause the viscosity has broken down. He claims that since the car is only driven 15 miles every 3 months and he keeps it in his garage and that the oil is still golden that it does not need to be changed? Is he right?

"My 1991 Suburban acts like its not getting enough gas and sometimes stalls. What could cause this?
I have replaced the spark plugs, the fuel filter, and treated the gas with STP. When I turn the air conditioner off, it doesn't act as bad but will still hesitate some. I am wondering if the fuel pump is going bad. Does anyone have any suggestions?"
This was what I asked the other day. I have now taken the suburban in. They found that the overflow tank was busted and I was almost out of water in my radiator. So they refilled my radiator and replaced the overflow tank. They thought that that would fix it. It is not hesitating anymore while I am driving, but when I try to start the car it will start then die once or twice before getting going. Anyone know what else could be the problem?

i have aftermarket carb and headers. i have been told that pinholes in headers could cause problem. i have also learned that imcomplete combustion of fuel would cause that, thus leading me to timing... or a/f mistuned on carb. could both or neither..what else could cause this? HA! or only driving style?

84 chevy 305, edelbrock carb,3" headers, mufflers. no cat conv. no other pertinent alterations...other than emissions crap.

i do not backfire always..and there is no fire spewing from the carb itself.

One day the a/c just stopped blowing cold air. It was approaching winter and I was broke, so I didn't worry about it. One day, I had it "on", but just for the blowing air and without ANY reason, it started blowing cold air...for a few minutes. This happened off and on for a few months.
Then one day, it started blowing cool air and it kept doing it for about 2 weeks. Then it stopped and hasn't started again. When it "starts" working, it does it completely on its own. No bumps, hard stops or anything...just cruising along and it starts or stops. The car has about 101k miles, but otherwise works perfectly fine. As I said, the blower works, the heater works, just no cold air. I bought a book on how to repair PT's, but no answer in there. I've asked a few friends... one suggested it could be some sort of electrical or "relay" type short. New fuses didn't help. Someone PLEASE point me in the right direction! It's mighty hot down here in Texas!
