This car was given to me to use indefinitely by a friend, which is defnitely very nice; I don't want to offend him by complaining about the smell, but it makes me sick. I've tried opening windows (but this gets very cold) and not filling up the tank as high. When the tank is only about a quarter full it stops smelling as bad ... but as soon as I fill it, it happens again. Please help!

I have a 2004 Mazda 3s with 17 inch wheels and do not know much about tires. I am currently looking at Kumho Ecsta Asx, which are all season. Does anyone know if these are good tires? Or would someone recommend someone recommend another type of tire? Also is Kumho a good brand? I am buying them at Discount Tires i think, and they offer a warranty for $62, whcih will cover them up to 3/32" or 3 years. If i do not get that, then if something does happen to them, it is prorated for how much they will cover. Is this worth purchasing? Thanks for your help.

I drive a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant and I have a radiator leak. A guy said he would fix it but it was going to cost me around $150 bucks. I just don’t have the extra cash right now plus I would be without my car for a day or two. Not good. Are there any sealants or temporary fixes that I can use until maybe the New Year?

my car is over 20 years old and recently when I push the clutch, it has no resistance..... I have to start the engine and then push the clutch for some hundred times then it gets normal.... but still very hard to change gear... Everytime after I stop the engine, the clutch gets bad again.... so I have to push the clutch for some hundred times again to get the car running... I am a stupid in car engineering.... anybody can tell me the reason?? Can I fix it myself or do I need some help?? How much will it cost then??
PS: If I drive for long time, the clutch works as normal...

Thank you for your answers to my previous question. The one that made the most sense is that when the 1 and 8 cylinders were misfiring, it caused the wrist pins to wear out. I bought truck in Sept 06; 4,000 miles no problems. Sunday, Service Engine Soon light came on, took it to dealer on Tuesday. They replaced coils for cylinders, changed fuel filter, replaced all spark plugs. Drove it twenty miles, started loud clunking. Is there some way for them to have known that all was not right before I drove away?

It is 30 days our of warranty and there was a little clunk and the engine died. The screen says "Fuel Injection Failure" but for some reason the doors will not lock so could this be an electronics issue ?

I bought a 2002 Ford F150 King Ranch in September 2006. I drove it about 4,000 miles with no problems except for a slight hesitation when driving between 35-40 miles an hour. On Sunday, the Service Engine Soon light came on. I didn't drive it after that except to take it to the dealer for service on Tuesday. They said the #1 and #8 cylinders were misfiring. They replaced 2 coils and the fuel filter. They also gave it a tune up. I picked up the car, paid them $780.00. I drove it about twenty miles and the engine suddenly gave a loud clucking sound. It continued to clunk while it was turned on. I parked it and got a ride home. Now what? What does it mean, what can I do?

About one week ago it was raining and I went to apply for a job. I parked and was inside the building for about a half hour. When I got back out my car wouldn't start. Normally I can hear my fuel pump turn on, it couldn't hear it come on at that point in time. After sitting for about 2 hours, I went back to tow it, it started right up and drove half way home. Then it stalled, once again, I couldn't hear the fuel pump. I waited 10 minutes and it started up again. It drove to the shop, nevery failed once, then drove home. I haven't had that problem since. However, now whenever I am drivng the seatbelt light will flash at me, keep in mind, I am buckled up all the time. For a test, I buckled up and moved around, nothing happened. But as soon as I start moving the vehicle it starts flashing. This is a 1996 2.2 L4 2 door chevy cavalier with a manual transmission. Any Ideas, I need some help getting this fixed.
