We bought a car that had orange coolant but we thought it went bad because we have never seen orange before, so we added the yellow kind and now my mechanic says the rad needs to be flushed because you cant mix the two but he didnt explain why, anyone know why you can mix the 2?

Well, I have ordered a strobe package online as well as a switchbox, and after e-mailing galls.com, they told me a metal console to put in between the driver and passenger would NOT fit unfortunately. I can work around that. However, how would I get something custom made to fit my Taurus since the majority are made for Dodge Chargers and Vics? Also what could I do to my engine to get as much power as possible from a 3.0 v6? I don't wanna tinker with it too much to take the chance of messing it up, but I do want more power although it has a ton already believe it or not. Just looking for more GO from start rather then speed.

I have a '91 Chevy S10, and in the winter months it idles too high when the engine is cold and I first start it up. When I approach a stop sign, it will barely let me put it in first gear (it's a standard). What is the problem, and how do I fix it?

This afternoon, I drove my car ('03 Nissan Altima) to work and it seemed fine, no problems. But I tried to restart my car after realizing that I needed to adjust my parking job and nothing happened. The lights barely flickered in the instrument panel and there was no noise. And when I tried to lock the car, nothing happened. What could it possibly be? I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

I've been to the dealership and I have a picture of what I need. they say the ends are the same on each side of the line. I have taken the old line out and they are different threads. Anyone else have this problem and can help me?

Thanks for the answers on my other question. Now...does anybody have any experience with changing a fuel pump on the 2000 chevy cavalier with 2.2L motor? I know it's it the fuel tank and I'll have to drop the tank to get to it. Other than that...can it be done in our garage or do I need to take it to a real mechanic? We have alot of experience with cars. I ALWAYS change my own oil which is a pain on this car...I've changed the A/C compressor and a few other things. Is the fuel pump something I can do or is it out of my league? Thanks

I have two types of stickers. One is just a long college sticker thats has a clear background with colored lettering and the other is the expensive kind that is professionally cut. I have heard to put soap and water on the window first so that you could move it around. Does this work? Thanks!

Expressed in percent, how efficient are modern internal combustion, gasoline automotive engines -- let's say a Honda or Toyota engine? Anyone have any idea? I am talking about the efficieny in terms of what amount of energy used goes to produce power, and what is wasted as heat, or friction, etc.
Thanks
