I only get warm air, and can go from floor to defrost correctly. I have tried putting in a tee and flushing the system with prestone cleaner and flushed. Still just luke warm air. Any help will be great. Its cold in Mo.

The hissing begins when I turn the car off. Also, every once in a while it takes 2 or three attempts to start it, but not that often. It always starts after the second or third attempt. Is it related to the noise? It is a 2001 Toyota Camry that I bought new. It has 103,000 miles on it. Does any one have any ideas on what is causing this? Thanks.

I have a 2001 VW GOLF with 107,000 Miles on it, I have had it for about a year now, with no issues. But today I was trying to merge onto the freeway, the VW is a Automatic by the way, and when I went to lay into it, it reved up to about 4,000 rpm's and wouldn't go any faster it was like the rev limiter kicked in or something, then when I try going up hills now it won't downshift and when it does it does the same thing, so basically everytime I try to move a little bit faster then " slow as hell " it wont do it, I have to let up on the gas wait for it to shift into a higher gear and just wait for the car to get up to speed. Any suggestion's I am at a loss for words as to what could be the problem. PLEASE HELP!!!

i have a 94' Toyota T100 pickup and i think the clutch needs to be replaced because when i try to put it in gear i feel like i have to force the stick in just get it to go. i feel this is so because the clutch may not be engaging all the way in, therefore making the shifting an almost excruciating task. now i wonder how much will it cost me, if it is indeed my clutch that needs work.

I've used my 4wd off and on for the last two days. This is the first time I've used it since buying it. My Jeep started making a loud whining sound yesterday and today then tonight the speedometer and odometer stopped, followed by a large grinding sound. This has never happened until I used the 4wd. It almost seems as though the Jeep isn't switching into 2wd, that it is driving between 2wd and 4wd.
Lastly, there was a real toxic smell. Didn't smell like burning oil.
Anybody have any idea's?

I turned the car off for about 45 seconds and no it is running like nothing ever happened. The car did rev very high close to red lining and would not move in any gear.

I have some serious issues with my 2000 eclipse. It started a few days ago. Everytime the car stands for a bit it has trouble starting off.
EX:

When Im just starting off i have to rev it real high for it to move and it barely moves at first and then starts moving fine. It does this in every gear for the first few minutes of driving then when warmed up it is all normal. After one hour of being parked, It goes back to the same problem.


Anyone have any ideas?? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks In Advance!

I have a 2005 Nissan Sentra which has started to squeak when I start driving and hit the brakes. The squeaking only happens on the first and second time I hit the brakes then stops for the rest of the time? The car only has 14,100 miles on it and I don't think the brakes are covered under warranty so I am very shaky about bringing it in unless Nissan is going to pay for it.

What you guys think could be the problem?

Engine dies within two driven miles, not up to full operating temp. will start right back up. Going addition miles it still will die with no warning- just dies but always starts immediately. I have changed the fuel filter, and put injector clearner in current half tank gas. Still dies with no warning with engine cold/hot. Also changed out the leaking heater core after sitting for said month. Just stating what I've done since problem started. AutoZone's computer showed "no Code".

Hi!

I have a toyota camry 1995, which has recently started stalling for no apparent reason. It starts fine, runs fine for 15-30 minutes and then starts giving trouble. Eventually it dies, it will start again a few times, but after another 15-30 minutes it refuses. After 5 minutes it recovers just enought to start, and continues to stall. The only way to run it then is to use both accelarator and brake... not pleasant!

I have had it tuned, inspected by mechanic for a whole day and he couldnt find what was wrong with it. I am a broke student. someone help me out please.

I read online it could be EGR, but they usually give trouble even when car is cold, I have no idea. Could someone tell me how to test the EGR valve? Ive heard its expensive (for a student).

Oh. and my car's muffler has been asking for repair for a while (6 months) but I chose to ignore it, and now i have to ignore it as i paid for tune up.

thanks in advance!!!

These are the facts. A lawyer or someone familiar with Michigan law would be of great service.

My car is broke down in my driveway. It needs a fuel pump, and it leaked fluid on the ground. I received a noticed taped to my door yesterday. I wasnt home, havent been home yet. This afternoon, while no one was there, the people I rent my property from towed my car and took it to impound. I know it looked bad sitting there, but it had legal plates and insurance. Is this even allowed?? To make matters more interesting, I have a Mercedes, and it absolutely HAS to be towed on a flatbed. If it isnt the entire frame will be jerked out of whack. I do not know yet how they did it. I want to go to the manager tomorrow and dispute this while knowing my rights, but I dont want to sound like a horses ***. Please help! Any refencereces??

My cars trac off light came on today and now its stalling. It's a slow shut down, like first the heater noise got fainter then when I stopped it stalled. :-( s It does turn back on. I drove it straight home and when I turned it off it made a gurgling noise! There's a clicking noise coming from are where the ETS button is. When the TRac OFF light came on I first tried hitting the button but it didn't do anything. It was also the first really cold day of the year today. I take it in Monday and don't plan on driving it again until then. Just looking for any idea of what it could be so I am can not appear clueless when I take it in.
