This morning when I tried to start my car the only sound it made was a clicking noise. It almost sounded like dropping a small rock into a big pot. And that's the only sound it makes. My battery is fine. I called AAA to come get my car and take it to a shop and when I showed them I heard the words "starter" and "maybe cylinoid..." does anyone here have experience with this and maybe know what it is? If it helps in allowing you to deduce.. It's well below freezing where I am right now. I don't know if that affects anything.

BTW my car is a '97 mustang

My heater doesn't work. There are four setting(low-high) for the heater and air conditioner. When I turn to setting 3 or 4 it makes a weird loud noise like the fan needs WD-40 or something. Any idea what it might be or needs replacing ?.

I took my car to the BMW dealer to have several things (service) done. One was to replace the outside rubber molding around the windshield. They told me that they would have to remove the windshield and that it would probably crack the windshield. Does this sound right to you?

I had a problem a week ago with this car it was acting up and it turned out abs cord wasn't connected. I have driven it about 75 miles since I got it back Tuesday and its driven great until today. I had been driving for awhile and when I came to a stop it idled roughly.. When I went to go it died as I was crossing interestection. I was able to get to the side of the road. It turned back on immediately and drove home fine. I called my mechanic and he said it probably just needs tune up. Does that sound right?

I have a 1997 Chevrolet Lumina Monte Carlo LS (3100 engine). There is only 25,000 (not a typo) miles on it. The car is estimated to get 20MPG city (official goverment estimate). I did a gas mileage test and it is only recieving 15.45 MPG, that is a 23% decrease from the estimated mileage. What could be the cause of such a low gas mileage (i know some trucks get better milage)?
I know I should check the spark plugs, air filter, O2 sensor, and all that. But is there a more specific cause it could be? I know the Check Engine Soon light comes on and three different places have confirmed that the gas cap has a leak (preasure seal cracked or something) and that's whats causing the light to come on. Could a damaged gas cap really decrease milage that much? Any suggestons, and/or, past experiances (especially with a similar car) would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 1995 lexus sc400. I just replaced the alternator about a month ago and now my headlights and stereo cutoff while I'm driving. They cutoff and the turn back on, also when I tried to lock my car door with the automatic lock button it wouldn't lock, I had to shut the door and lock it with my key. Does anyone know what the problem could possibly be? My friend told me it was the serpentine belt is that true?

2000 Pontiac Montanta just bought, and check engine oil has come on. They told me at the shop that it just had oil change and that it is programmed to show that light at certain mileage readings? Does anyone know if that is true about this car? Thanks

It is recommended that you rotate your tires after every other oil change.

I don't rotate my tires, being that the fronts wear quicker, I replace them, then when they wear down I move them to the back and put two new front ones on.

I mean , Having your tires rotated every 6 thousand miles can get more expensive than buying tires.

Do yo agree?

Has anyone out there had any problems with Pep Boys? I took my truck there for the check Engine light being on and they gave me the $700 run around. I would like to know if anyone out there had any trouble with them and what did they do to help themselves?
