Can I cut it off, is it really important?

The battery was dead the other day and I had to jump start it. When I did it started in tow/haul mode and would not shift out. I turned the truck off and restarted it. It went back to normall then. I was think this is probably a computer problem. Is there anyway I can fix this?

My car is in really good condition for a 1990 Honda, in regards to the engine and all that fun stuff. The only problem is that my car reaks - it was owned by my grandparents who smoked in it, and it has a few scratches and stuff. There is alot of ashes around the backseat of the car. What is the best way to get rid of the nasty smell, clean the ashes off, and get rid of the scratches on the roof and trunk of the car?

Yes, I am currently doing a clutch job on this vehicle and transmission fluid leaked out of the back when the tranny was dropped. I need to replace this fluid. AutoZone told me it was dextron III ATF. Is this correct?

Not that long ago I had a little red Metro, about ten years old, 70 thousand miles on the clock, seemed like a nice little runaround... until I took it for an MOT that is, when it failed on just about everything it could - you name it, it failed it. The MOT guy shrugged his shoulders, said, "Sorry mate", and had a look in his eyes like he was having to put down my beloved pet dog.

Now I haved a Nissan, about 10 years old, 128 thousand miles on the clock, and it's just gone through an MOT with absolutely nothing wrong with it. NOTHING. Not even a lightbulb.

Was I sold a dud? Was I just unlucky? Or are all British cars utter, utter rubbish?

Night before last, I measured my battery voltage to be 12.59 volts. This morning I measured it 12.46 volts. The positive terminal is disconnected. Did it drain 0.13 volts worth of energy in 36 hours? or is it measuring differently because it's cooler this morning than when I measured it the first time?

Everyone told me it was the heater core. Good, and thank you.

NOW, I looked at my heater core connection on my Dodge Intrepid. Where the core connects to the fluid connection.....there is some green color from antifreeze. Please help me out, I'm just a girl!

Is it a leak.......I don't smell anything! Or is it a sign the core is bad?
Ideas please.

This has happened twice in the last 2 months. I only discovered it running the last time when I parked it in the carport and when I got out I could hear it click then hum, then it would do it again, I let it do it for a while to be sure what it was, then I started the car and shut it off and it quit doing it. It is a 3.L V6

I have a 2000 Dodge Neon. The engine used to turn over as soon as I turned the key. Now it takes about 5 seconds for the engine to start. It's been suggested perhaps the starter or else the fuel pump. what do you car heads think? Thanks!

My 1994 Isuzu Trooper has blue smoke when it is cranked after sitting for several hours and the engine is cold. It doesn't smoke on startup when the engine is warm. There is much more smoke the longer it has sat such as over night or for a day or two. I was wondering if it could possibly be the valve stem oil seals. The engine uses very little oil (maybe half a quart every 2000 miles) and has 190,000 miles on it. It runs good other than the startup smoking problem. I was thinking that as long as the engine is warm then maybe the seals expand and seal better and when the engine cools they contract and oil gets to the cylinder at startup. Does this sound like a possible cause? I have a shop manual for this car and it looks like a pretty straight forward fix although I would probably have mechanic do the work. The book I have only explains the fix and not the symptoms of bad seals. Does my engine have the symptoms? It's a 3.2 liter V6 with dual overhead cams.

Some little vandals must've gotten at my car some time ago (weeks?) and there is a great deal of dried egg on the window, mirror, and driver's side door. What would you suggest to use to remove this safely? It is a 2005, Vibe. Thanks.
