I had a leak right where the shaft goes into the transfer case. i put a seal around it and it's fixed.. but now i had a leak coming from the transfer case going down my shaft onto my u-joint and dripping from there. i have talked to mechanics and they say my yoke is screwed.. he also said i can use JB weld or something to seal it instead of buying a $293.00 yoke.. where would i have to seal it with JB weld in order for it to stop leaking?

I have a hole/tear about a little smaller than a dime on the passenger side of my leather car seat. What's the best way to fix or prevent this from spreading? I don't want it to get worse but I don't want to pay too much $$$ to fix it either. Any help would be appreciated!!

LONG story short- I've changed my distributor cap and rotor, plugs, fuel filter, wires etc. What could be the cause for a continous misfire? They mechanic said I may need a distributor. Is he correct? Thanks

I took my car in for a smog today (car registration purposes). They took one look at my car and said NO, the check engine light is on.

LONG story short- he told me I need to change my o2 scenser in order to pass smog. Is this true? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

When I try to fill the gas tank on my 2003 matrix, it stops as if its full, when its not. I end up barely squeezing the gas lever, letting it trickle in and it takes about 10 minutes to get 15$ in gas. I cannot take it anymore but I cant afford to take it to the shop right now. Is there anythingI can do?

My 99 Altima makes a weird flapping noise in the tires when I'm on the freeway. It doesn't happen when I accellerate, just when I let up off the gas or brake. Last time this happened, I tightened my lugnuts and it went away. Last night I checked the tire pressure and tightened everything again, and it still makes the same noise when I go fast and then take my foot off the gas. ANy ideas on what this might be?

Fuel injection system. Starts up, runs for about 5-10seconds and dies. Won't even idle. Fuel is getting to the injection. Distributor seems fine. Has a brand new fuel pump.
Have even checked the fuses and wiring and can't really find anything wrong!

What could be the problem??

I need help urgently!!!

The wipers at one point stayed at the top of the windshield when turned off, they worked fine when turned on. Now (when turned on) they stay at the bottom of the windshield and move up about an inch or two. Is this a problem in the switch or the wiper motor?

The manual lists that the resistance should be between 1.16 and 1.36 ohms. currently it is at 2.0 ohms. what would this cause the motor to do. Right now I am experiencing some driveability issues and am trying to troubleshoot the problem. The motor was rebuilt about 8000 miles ago. within the past 2 weeks I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, coolant temp sensor, distributer, map sensor and also checked and reset the timing. The truck falls on its nose when accelerating while the engine is cold and tends to idle pretty rough. Once the engine has warmed up it runs and idles great and I can drive it anywhere. It does not display any diagnostic codes and I had a shop check the ECM/PCM to verify it is operating properly. Lately I have also noticed a strong fuel odor in the exhaust. Would the increased resistance cause any of these issues? If not what would cause this?

Any help is appreciated!!
