Maintenance & Repairs - December 2006

Hello and good day. Here is my dilemna, I was doing a tire rotation and found a wheel cylinder that blew. I replaced the wheel cylinder and during this process had to replace the line that goes from the flex hose to the wheel cylinder. Now that this has been replaced I have been bleeding for a long time but there is continuous air.
The master cylinder is 5 months old and the lines were replaced during that time.
I tried to gravity bleed it for about an hour and then start bleeding again and even though i finally have a little bit of brake there is still limitless air bubbles (1/4 to 1/2 inch bubbles and a stream of little ones). I have bled through half a quart of fluid and this still is the case (and bled with car off for a while and then on). Bleeding is with a hose in a jar and my wife in the car (pump pump bleed stop, pump bleed stop over and over).
HELP
Is there something I am missing or is there a problem that I am not aware of.
I hate cavaliers.
Thanks

1994 Dodge Intrepid won't start. It sat for a year and I just put a new battery in it and it started right up for a day or 2. Then I went to start it again and it won't start. I put a new coil pack in it, new plugs and recently put a crank position sensor on it. What could it be?

I took cover off because the chain fell off the guide while sawing a branch. After reinstalling the chian and cover the chain will not move, I adjusted the tension to let the chain to about 3/8" loose, but still does not move. While putting it back together, I forced some areas of the chain into the grooves to get it to fit (maybe the chain was damged?). I've had it running in this condition, but it dose nothing. Any ideas to why this is occuring is welcome.
Machine: Husqvarna 350, 18" blade.

This light came on IMMEDIATELY after I had a custom stereo installed. Of course, the stereo guy said the ABS light has nothing to do with what he did. However, I have to go back because one of the speakers is already not working, so who knows.

About a year ago, I had amco rebuild my transmission on my 96 grand cherokee larado V8. Didn't notice any problems, but hardly drove it because the engine smoked so bad. I just pulled the motor to do a re-build and found a vacuum line with one of those nickle sized discs that usually go between two hoses tucked on top of the transmission. It looks like the nipple of the disc pointing away from the trans is broken off. Or.. this may be just a small filter to some line that is used to vent the transmission. I can't find any loose or extra vacuum lines from my engine, so I don't know where this one is suppose to connect to if it is a vacuum line. The other end goes to what appears to be a small box shape molded in the rear section of the transmission on the drivers side . It goes next to some kind of switch that has an electrical connection. I don't know if this is just a vent hose, or if it is suppose to be picking up vacuum from the engine. Any suggestions?

Last month my car started acting strange. When I would try to start it, the dash and the radio would light up but the car wouldn't start. Iw ould try to turn it over a few times to no avail. Finally, on the third or fourth try, it would start. This continued for several days. I took it in and they said the alternater and the starter were fine but the battery was leaking acid. I got a new battery last week! Last night, the car started doing it again. I don't understand. Could there be a drain in the battery that is causing this? I have a car alarm that I disabled because the alarm part wasn't working. However, it still unlocks to car doors and has a light in the dash. Could this be the problem? I'm at a complete loss. I have no clue what it could be.

We own a 2000 MVP, and the throttle is sticky when taking off from a stop, making it lurch because you have to press the pedal so hard... It only does it when taking off, throttle is fine when at road speed... I thought it may be a dry throttle cable, but I disconnected it and manually operated the butterfly, and the problem seems to be with the injection butterfly its self... I believe all it really needs is lubrication at the pivot points, but am wary to spray WD into the intake, there are what appear to be sensors close by, and do not want to foul them with lube... Is this a typical problem with this model ??? Is there a service bulletin that addresses this particular problem ??? I would appreciate any advice!!!!!

A family member has a 2004 Chevrolet Impala with a failing speedometer. The car was under warrenty for 36,000 miles but this speedometer failed at about 45,000 miles. Basically, it reads wrong speeds, and just doen't work right at all. When you're stopped, it reads speeds of 25 mph etc.

Do you think the dealer wil fix this free of charge?

I have a 1999 Ford Explorer with a 4.0L SOHC V6 4X4. The oil pressure gauge sticks on start up then goes to normal after 60 seconds or so. During the summer I had no problems. It only occurs during colder mornings. I change the oil on a regular basis. The oil level is not low. What can it be? Haven't had time to take it to a repair shop.

I'm pulling my hair out. Please help.

I have a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix, and the passenger side door is stuck. When I pull on the handle (interior and exterior), I can hear the mechanism inside the door moving like it is working. I believe it is the latch that is sticking. But I am not completly sure. Any help on what it could be and how to possibly fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

I have a Ford Taurus 1998... I'm pulling a Radiator from a 1999 Taurus GL. It seems that my radiator is pressurized... or something... when i took off mine... it made lots of noise... but when i took off the radiator for a GL it didn't. I know pressurized radiators are for higher performance veichals but I just want to know if it will work. The radiator shape is the same... i just have to change the hoeses.

Two days ago I got my rotors changed in the front and new calibers and brake pads in the front and a new wheel cylinder. The mechanic said that I didnt need the rear done just yet but maybe in a month or so. Well the second day out of the shop I noticed grinding sounds when I brake at a stop sign or traffic light etc. Why are my brakes grinding now. Will this stop because all the parts are new and just got done? Thanks
