It is a 4WD 6 cylinder-4.0L. I replaced the water pump last fall. The thermostat is good. It was a closed cooling system and I replaced the pressure overflow tank. And now I've just installed a new performance radiator and converted my entire system over to be an open cooling system. The belt is good and tight. There are no coolant leaks. Twice I've run coolant system cleaner/flush through. I've also tried using "Ice Water" in the system to lower the temperature. And it runs fine driving around town or idling at stoplights. But when I get on the highway and get to 65-70 it starts running very hot and often overheats. It does this no matter what I do. The oil is burned up and needs changed immediately. The air filter is due for a change, too. I also need to replace the head gasket soon as it is leaking oil. I can't figure this out!! Please help!!! I'm already poor and can't afford to do much else to it.

I need a window regulator, not a window motor. The quote on the price from the dealer is too much.

I got in the car to go to lunch today and it wouldn't start. I put the key in the ignition and turned it and there was a sort of a "thunk" noise, then nothing. The headlights, turn signals, wipers and radio aren't working now, but the dome light and the door ajar/headlights on beeper work. I'm guessing alternator, but I've never had one make a thunk noise before. Anybody have a clue?

Not service or towing, just the stand-alone battery for a regular pickup truck (2000 GMC Sonoma). I'll install it myself.

My '92 Honda Prelude's rear brake lights will not work when the brake pedal is engaged. In addition, the instrument panel brake light warning indicator remains in the "on-position" while the car is running. However, I have replaced brake lights, fuses, and checked all visible wire connections leading to the rear brake light cluster module. All other rear lights work including turn signal, parking, reverse and emergency indicators.

The fan did not work at 1-3 setting and work a t 4 only. What is wrong? How much it will cost in dealership (incl. labour)? Can I go to independent repair shop to do it?

I have to step on the gas and hold it for a couple seconds or it wont start up, and it smells like its not burning all the fuel that goes through the engine. I think the problem is with the fuel injectors but im not sure.

I live in Pennsylvania and I have a 2004 Honda Element that recommends 5W-40 oil. Not knowing this I changed the oil with 10W-30. Will that be ok until the next oil change?

I drive a 2000 Honda Civic and am having trouble with my windshield when it rains. There's no problem when it rains a lot, but when it rains just a little bit the water just smears around when I turn my windshield wipers on, obscuring my view. I tried installing new wipers, and it doesn't look like that is the problem. I tried cleaning the windshield with windex, and no dice. This issue is bad enough that I've had to pull into gas stations when it just sprinkles to squeegee the windshield because I can't see! Does anyone have any theories about what's wrong and how I can fix it? Thanks..

I have a 2003 Mazada Protege 5. My brake light seems to come randomly, some days it's on for longer periods of time than others. Sometimes it comes on at a stop light and then stays on. Sometimes it comes on 30 seconds after I leave the stop light. Somedays I don't notice it on at all.

My actual brake pads are getting low, but are not to the point yet when they need to be changed. Also, overall from what I can tell, my brakes work just fine. They stop when I want them to stop and I don't feel them dragging when I go.

I think it might be a sensor problem. Anyone know how to fix this? Please don't say take it into the dealer, my family typically fixes cars all by themselves if at all possible. So, I just need to know how to fix the sensor. My husband keeps saying he will look into it, but hasn't yet. Maybe it is easy enough that I can do it myself.

Does anyone know the link to a website with specific instructions?

Thank You!

I have used Holly carbs in the past and I have been VERY disapointed in their quality control. I have had to fight and tune them almost as a daily ritual. I know that Berry Grant is almost identical to the Holly's but what I want to know is if they have to be tuned up daily like a Holly?

The reaons I am asking is because I am looking at putting a supercharger on and the kits will only accept Holly or Berry Grant. I don't like that because I am a die hard Eddleborck man. Is Berry Grant better than that POS Holly?
