I am looking for a evening or weekend class to teach me the basics of auto maintenance and repair, but I haven't had much luck searching on the web. It should be in or near Boston, and preferably accessible by public transit. Thanks!

I need to change my a/c belt because it is starting to squeak. I'm just curious of how big of a job it is. I'm an amateur but I have a friend who is a pretty good mechanic and has done it before. How long would something like this take? Its on an 02 Subaru WRX, 2.0L 4 cyl.

I have a 1995 Blazer is 4x4 and has a V6 4.3 vortex engiene. When its running its makes this noise like is missing, and the oil gage is really low, but when you give it gas the gage goes up. If your driving it and slow down to come to a stop it wants to quit, like its not getting any power. And after a mile or so of driving the check engiene light comes on. What in the world is wrong with this thing??? Ive put a new air filter, fuel pump on it. Oh and it smokes also.

I recently replaced the EGR Valve on my 98 Toyota Camry, but after resetting the check engine light. It still pops after about 10 miles with the EGR flow insufficient code. I've cleaned everything including the throttle body and tried again, it still pops every time. I have no hoses mis-routed and all hose a connected correctly. Does anyone know what else could be causing me to get this error code?

I changed my oil yesterday and put the correct amount of air into my tires (35lbs of pressure) and today I'm burning more gas than yesterday. Aren't doing those things supposed to improve gas mileage? Why suddenly did I go from being able to go 350 miles on 25 gallons to 200 miles? I checked it while I was driving. I went 50 miles with a quarter of a tank. My truck holds 25 gallons. I divided that by four and I got 6.25 gallons which would put me at roughly 8 miles a gallon when before I got 14 miles per gallon. Please help me! No one else knows what's wrong!

I have a 91 ford escort. Sometimes when I hit the brakes I hear a clunking noise. What could be wrong? And, if you know, how much to fix it?

The alternator went bad on our 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan. My husband replaced it, but then the compressor started squealing. The AC has not been working for a while. It would make a rattling noise when on. Since the weather has been mild and we haven't been using it, we never thought about it when we had time to fiddle with it. My husband said he found some parts that fell off in the wheel guard. He said the bearings are rusted and the van squeals extremely loud whenever it is on, even if the AC is off. We had a new compressor put in about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I don't want to (nor can I afford to) have another new one put in. Is there a chance that we just need a new clutch or bearings or something else cheaper?

This is not for me! My friend has a 2000 Kia that will misfire at low RPM's. This 4 cylinder engine has 2 coils???? We were advised that the coil fires in 2 cylinders at the same time????? The way that it was explained is that when it fires, only one of the cylinders has fuel in it. They found it to miss in only one cylinder????? If the coil is bad then shouldn't it miss in 2 cylinders. We were also told that it could possibly be the injector but yet it seems to run OK at 50 Mph. Can a coil be only half bad? If anybody can help me, please get back to me at rkhcomputer@yahoo.com

Someone told me if I disconnect the batter for over an hour, that it will do a hard reset of the "check engine" light. Can someone confirm if this is true or not? Disconnecting it for 5 minutes didn't seem to do much, as the light still comes on when I reconnect the battery.
