I have a 98 Ford Escort ZX2. It has about 103,000 miles on it. Within the past couple of days the car has been acting funny. When I start the car it has been idling at about 1500 RPMs for about 10-15 seconds then it acts like it is going to stall (it goes to about 500-700 RPMs). I notice it when the car is stopped, but also when I'm driving it, I can feel the RPMs fluctuating. Kinda like if I was flooring it I could feel it kinda bogging down. This is without and air conditioning or heat on. The "Service Engine Soon" light has just come on also.

Can anyone give me an idea of what's going on?

Thanks.

of my 2000 Honda Accord with 97,000 miles. Noise is more noticeable when I put on the brakes or turn, but also occurs afterward even when not engaging the brakes. I took it into a brake shop and they said definitely NOT the brakes, but couldn't identify the problem. Do you have any ideas of what else it could be?

I was parked in Sainsburys and when coming out of the store i saw a mercedes back into my car leaving a nasty crack in my front bumper and then pull away very quickly obviously realising what he'd done. I chased the car on foot to the exit barrier only for him to pull onto the main road just before i'd reached him. I called the police and tried to report it but was astounded to hear that they were powerless as it was private ground!!

So what I want to know is as I have this guy's reg number how do I get hold of the spineless ba$tards details so I can sue him for the damage. Anyone have any ideas?

I just had a full 120,000 mile tuneup and timing belt replaced about 10 days ago. Two days later I noticed the smell of gas and a day after that I noticed my car was leaking about a half quart of oil per day. I took my car to the nearest Volvo mechanic, which is not the same dealership I did the service at (Bill Kidd's Volvo in Timonium, MD). The new Volvo mechanic (Scandinavian Auto in Rockville, MD) is claiming I need a new fuel pump and will not be able to see why my oil is leaking until they do this service for safety reasons. When I had the tuneup done at Bill Kidd's, they had replaced fuel pipe. Now I am stuck here as to what I should do. Can someone please help me out? Of course, I believe that Bill Kidd's must be responsible for the improper installation of some parts for all of this to happen within two days of my getting the car back! I have invested over $2,000 in repairs, so I just need to figure out what is reasonable for this work.
