Sunday as I was leaving the airport my car would pause when I stepped on the accelerator. As I drove on the freeway it got worse and eventually I had to pull over. It was acting like I was pressing on the gas and letting off - even though I wasn't. I checked the transmission fluid and it was totally empty. I went and got more transmission fluid and as I added saw it spurting out of the hose. To sum it up I just paid $240 to get the hose fixed yesterday and my car still is not driving right. If I start it - it goes into gear and drives for about 1 minute. Then I hit the gas and the RPM goes to 5 with no forward motion. So then I turn the car off and do this again. Is my transmission shot? Thanks

I was wondering if i should use 87 gas or 91.
In the owners manual it says recommended 91.
Would it harm my engine if i were to use only 87?
Also, can i mix the 2 (87 and 91)?

I tried to jump start my wife's car and found my battery connector cable loose and it came off. When I put it back, it armed the security alarm and makes noise. I can't even start my car. I had to remove the battery connection to stop the alarm. Is there any way to reset the alarm? It is a third-party alarm and is 11 years back. I don;t have the remote. Also, somebody tried to break into my car just 4 days back and damaged the driver side lock. I cannot use that to reset the alarm either.
What do you suggest I do?

Some makes like KIA make a point of having aluminum engines. I thought this was for weight, but was more prone to failure, especially in a high mileage car.

How can I use the RPM to figure out what speed I'm traveling? I used another car and wrote down that 30-35 is 1 - 1 1/4 and so on. Would this come close to the speed or would this get me a ticket? Thank you.
