My 2000 Subaru Outback started squealing on my drive home today. It seems to be from one of the wheels, because it stops when I apply the brakes even a little bit. It's very loud.

After getting home, I noticed one of my tires is low. Could that have anything to do with it? Other ideas?

Car gurus, please advise.

The key was stolen, so I have to replace the ignition to be able to start it. I don't have a clue how to do this. All I know is that you have to take the steering column apart.

Has anyone ever done this and could give me step by step instructions?

OR

Does anyone know of a website where I can find the instructions?

Thanks

I own a 1997 Dodge Intrepid. I was driving it today and the "Check Engine" bs light turned on. Then the car started to smell really hot, but the temp gage didnt move at all. When i got out of my car my back right brake was smoking and my wheel was covered in brake dust. Why did my brake suddenly lock up?

I wanna be a Vehicle Mechanic and i would like to know if you think it's a good career?
I will be joining the Air Force as a vehicle mechanic for 4 years. So by the time i get out i'll have good experience. They will train me with both gas and diesel engines.

Do vehicle mechanics get paid good?
Is 4 years experience in the military with a diploma enough to get hired and get paid good money?

I would like to know about Auto Body Repairers too, i'll like to do that too. But which one would be better as a career. Body Repairer or Gas/Diesel Mechanic.??

I was thinking about Aircraft Mechanic before, but i just decided to be a Vehicle Mechanic. I hope i made a good decision.

A few weeks ago I came back to my car following a heavy rain and noticed that the roof of my Explorer was soaked and that water was dripping from just above my driver's side windshield visor. This had never happened before, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can figure out where the leak is coming from...it's not obvious like a big hole is in the roof, but I do have a sunroof. There are no visible leaks or problems with the sunroof and everything was closed at the time? Has anyone had this happened or does anyone know how a repair shop would possibly try to solve this problem? (ie: I know when you have a leak in a tire it can be submerged under water, but this can't be done for my entire car...or can it? lol....) Thanks for any help with my predicament.

I have changed out the ecu, because it tested bad, now that's done,it still does the same thing...floods too much fuel into throttle body, and won't start...I believe it's the fuel pressure regulator, but there is a possibility of the injector being bad...so, if anyone who is mechanically inclined has had the same problem, or has more access to fuel diagrams for the car than whats given in a chilton repair manual...please hit me up with a viable solution...if your advice works...and gets this car running....I will send to you, your choice of a bikini, well some bikini...bike wash video...or some other pre-production video of some monster mudd trucks ripping it in the river valley...hook me up...and I'll certainly hook you up as well...hopefully we can help each other out....lordclawson@yahoo.com
