I have a 95 Ford Probe 2.0 that is in very, very good condition normally; however, I recently put a bottle of injector cleaner and iso for the sake of upcoming season... Afterwards... Now My 30A Fuel pump circuit breaker is burning out everytime I take off at high speed... The resistance on the pump is fine... The voltage going into the pump is fine... The pressure is fine... The check engine light is not on, yet works... What are the possible outcomes of putting a 50A circuit breaker in there?

Would a whiney P/S pump quiet down with some motor oil? Or do you think it would freeze up?

Hi all,

I need to replace to pick up switch in a 1985 ford ltd. I removed the distributer cap? (the thing the plugs are attached to), then I removed the next cap. Now I can see the pickup switch, it's half moon shaped, and there is another thing blocking the way of getting it out. I don't know what it's called but it's round with |_| tab like things on the sides. From looking at the new part it looks like it should just pull off but I cannot get it to do so. Any suggestions? I would also appreciate the names of any of the parts I have described. Thank you.

Turn signal works until brakes are applied or headlights are turned on. All turn signal lights and brake lights have been replaced and fuses have been checked, to no avail.

If i don't warm up my car in the morning and started driving, the car would not accelarate smootly from 1st, to 2nd to 3rd gear. It would just feel like it wants to go but unable to unless i really put the paddle down.

I have a 91 Dodge Stealth, twin turbo w/ intercooler, manual
Sometime the enging just stops right after i turn the ignition on; from 1000 rpm to 200 rpm and stop...

I had water pump replaced, spark plugs and coils less than a year ago. What could be wrong?

I drive a 1986 F-250 S wheel drive p/u, it has a 6 cyl. gasoline engine and I am having troubles finding out what is wrong with it. It doesn't want to start. At first, because of the cold weather, I thought it needed to be plugged in, but after it was plugged in for # days it still did not want to start. I checked my battery and it still had enough cranking power, but still nothing. If it sits for a bit, I will get the sound of the engine trying to turn over but then, nothing. If I try again, all I hear is my starter trying to engage for a second and then nothing. I am getting really frustrated! Could this be an electrical problem? Or could it be something different? Is there a sure tell sign I could look for to diagnose the problem? I can't afford to have it towed right now and I sure can't afford to repair it at a garage. Any help as long as it is a serious attempt to help solve this would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I used the lock deicer in the keyhole and that took care of the lock but when I got in my car I couldn't shut the door I slammed it and it would swing right back open. I looked at the latch and it would move when I put my hand in there but still would not shut. What is the deal?

Sometimes when I try to accelerate my vehicle, the gas pedal seems to get stuck. If I apply more pressure to the pedal with my foot, the car accelerates. How to fix!?!?

The car doesn't have to be parked under a tree - the black sap leaves little tiny spots and is very hard to remove.

I wrote a week or so ago and asked about a 1973 Chevy 4WD that had a problem. My husband is working 7 days a week, he has too many houses to remodel- he's not a mechanic or good at diagnosis. I want to pay someone, we need the truck. I know of 3 people (one is a mechanical genious and unemployed-Tahoe job market...) anyway; It's cold out- 28 degrees to 45 and I do not have a garage to work in. Between this site and myself and friends, we came to the conclusion the Chevy may have jumped time or the dist. is bad. I was thinking $25.00 per hour, we pay for the parts.
Is that enough or not too much? I want it done right. Hypothetically speaking, also, should or if I pay up to $30.00 an hour and buy parts, is it still cheaper than a dealer or a licensed shop?
ALSO! approx. how long SHOULD it take for timimg belt replacement or distributor replacement, in hours or days?

I am keeping control of the clutch and the accelerator when moving off, but it just seems to jerk and jump until the car reaches about 10 MPH and I have to accelerate more to avoid conking out. Once I change to 2nd gear and upwards the car runs fine....its a 2002 dynamique model. (PS - My dad has tried it and has the same problem).

I understand that water would come out after using air conditioning. But I see water coming out underneath every time I stop my car, even I just move the car from one spot to another in the same parking lot. Is this normal or something needed to be fixed? Thanks fro your help
