At my last oil change, they said I had no oil after 3 months and to keep an eye on it. It's been 2 months and my oil is almost gone again. It's not leaking on the ground. I have a 2000 Honda Civic. Do you know where the oil is going? My engine sounds like it is getting loud- almost like a muffler sounds when it's going. Thanks for any input!

This happened three weeks ago and then the engine light came on, car started bucking, took it to the shop, had computer replaced for $1,100. Two days after getting the car back, the car and battery both died, which blew out the computer again. Replaced the computer a second time. Now 4 days after getting the car back again, the oil pressure light is once again flickering. It only does this after the car is warmed up and when I brake or put it in park. I have kept up on oil changes and have not changed the type/weight of oil I've been putting in for 2 years now. Any clue to what it could be?

Does anyone out there know if it would be worth it to rebuild a 1971 ford ltd. It's in good shape only needs a paint job and a carb. Probally some fine tuning here and there. My dad gave it too me when I got married and its been sitting in the garage for almost 7 years. It sat in his garage for 10 prior. It does start and it does run. I want to either fix it and keep it or sell it as-is and get it out of my life. If I sold it how much would I ask for? If I fixed it how much would it be worth?

When driving my car (2000 Chevy Cavalier LS), I hear a squeaking sound (like wet rubbers rubbing against each other) coming from the front suspension. When I described the symptoms to my father, he said it was probably strut rubbers coming out of alignement (he doesn't speak English, so I don't know how well I translated these terms).
Can anybody give me a ballpark estimate how much might it cost to fix it? I mean, are we talking a couple of hundreds, several hundreds, thousands? I don't want to waste my time getting a mechanic's estimate if I won't be able to afford it at this time.

Once upon a time my car must have been for sale with lots of stickers on the inside windscreen and it seems impossible to remove the remaining sticker marks. I have tried simple household products but does anybody know what the car trade might use?

My wife accidentally filled the radiator overflow reservoir with windshield fluid, between 1/4 and 1/3 of a gallon, as it was below the minimum level. Can she drive? Does the car now need a flush or just siphon it out. Will it damage the radiator?

My security light is on, and I have checked the battery, it's fully charged. When I turn the key over the lights come on, but the car will not start. Sometimes the radio will come on, and other times it will read LOCKED. I thought if I disarmed the alarm that it may get my car to start. Any thoughts?

around 36,000 miles the check engine light came on. i ignored it simply because that was when the warranty was up, and i thought it was cheap trick programmed in the computer by the dealer to get me to upgrade my warranty. i checked it anyway and the diag test read the code: p2004 bank 2 intake manifold runner stuck open. what i understand about intake manifold runners is that they are exclusive to performance vehicles. has anyone ever hear of an intake manifold runner? 10,000 miles later my truck runs fine and there are no noticable problems, just that glaring orange check engine light on the dash. do i or don't i have a problem?

I have a 1987 Jeep Cherokee Chief L6 4.0, I have replaced the Battery and the Alternator and it still loses its charge everytime I turn it off. Does it have a solenoid that might need replaced. If so then where is it. Or is it more complicated?
