To help you better understand the situation, imagine that while you're driving you feel your car slow down as if it's out of breath, and that if you give it more gas, it takes a while before it jerks back up to speed. Sometimes, it just craps out entirely so that the engine shuts off. I've replaced the battery and fuel pump, and I'm not sure what else to do. Help, please.

I thought maybe thermostat was stuck but a new one does the same thing. I removed the thermostat and works ok without it. But now it takes so long to warm up and get heat in the morning. What would cause an engine to suddenly begin producing more heat like this? Coolant is pumping and circulating fine.

I bought a new car a year ago, and I have been bringing it in for tune ups etc as specified by the dealership, since it's still under warrantee. But I thought this was odd, I brought it in today, and the sticker said that I was to bring it in at 21000km or on Nov 4, whichever was 1st. Now the new sticker says Jan 30 or 24000 km. I thought it was every 6 months, not every 3 months?? What is it supposed to be?

This car has only 69,000 miles on it, but the owner had a friend replace the CA carburetor with a standard one. The car will not shift into 2nd gear until 31 MPH, & will not go into overdrive until it is up to 71 MPH. What do we have to change on it to get the transmission to shift properly?? THANKS
for your help. G&M

Hey, recently I picked up a 95 honda accord ex with about 192K miles on it for 5 grand total. Since I don't know that much about cars I looked it up in KBB and it was priced right so I bought it. Then I started realizing problems with it, the idle is kind of shot, theres some metal shavings in my transmission fluid so I'm starting to wonder how much life it has left. The timing belts were replaced twice and the ones on it are pretty new but it still makes a lot of noise on acceleration. I also have a small hole in the intermediate pipe on the exhaust, am I losing any power or mpg by that? I was told that I need to replace the boots on the two front bearings which I was quoted at about $230 to fix both. Was I better off without this car?

Does anyone know Chevron's Car Wash Code? Or any gas station's touchless car wash code. I know it's not the best kind of car wash, BUT, I'm a busy person!

My oil pressure at a cold start hits around 40-60 then drops slowly after engine warms up to around 10-20. I removed the valve covers and cleaned the ports, dropped the oil pan and cleaned it out and upgraded to a high capicity oil pump. If the main bearings were worn, wouldn't there be some metal dust in the oil I drained? There is no engine noise other than the usual and I turned the motor over and watched the valves to make sure they were oiling. They were but not as well as they should have. Also, I changed the oil sending unit out for a manual guage. Is there anything else that could cause this besides the main bearings? I'm willing to accept that it may be the problem but I want to consider whatever else it might possibly be

The 4x4 damaged the rear end of my Rover 75, impossible to shut boot and lights not working. The garage and insurance now say it is not repairable. - but even after the accident, the car was driving perfectly. How much will the insurance company pay? Will they? Is there any way I can get the car fixed?

Dent is right above the wind sheeld. Size of a Palm. Dealer says it has to be repainted after dent removal. Seems it can't be done using paintless dent removal.

hi, right now im driving a '93 jeep wranger with an AX-15 manual transmission. Today while driving, i go to push in the clutch and change gears and the clutch only goes in about half way. When i continue pressing in it gives in and allows me to shift gears. This problem continued to persit throughout the day. However i discovered that if i stayed on the gas a little longer then normal and let it continue to accelerate while pushing in the clutch the sticking did not happen. So my question is: whats wrong with my clutch and does it need replacement or repair?

I have a 2000 Ford Explorer. It has 70,000 miles and is in good shape. No Rust. I just had new rotars and pads put on it less than 10,000 miles ago. When I come to a stop or I am slowing down. My car in the front makes a horrible screeching noise and it sounds horrendous. Ive tried spraying water underneath it. Doesnt help. I do not think its the breaks, I think it might be the frame. When I am driving over 30 it doesnt make the noise but when Im slowing down and about to stop its horrendous. If you need to contact me and ask for more info, aim me at shsathlete103, its a exremely loud noise and it just continue's until the car is in a resting position or back up at a reasonable rate of speed. If anyone can suggest what this is and how much it will cost to fix it, that would be tremendous. Thanks all!!!
