I've got a 93 Mazda Protege 4 speed auto with a shifting problem. It occurs when going from 2nd to 3rd gear. When the problem happens, the 2-3 shift has a long slipping feel to it and the hold light will start flashing. I checked for trouble codes and code 62 came up, which I believe indicates a 3-4 shift solenoid problem. The thing is, this problem doesn't always happen. Sometimes the car will go for days without a problem, other times within 10 minutes the problem will pop up. The transmission fluid is up to the proper level and doesn't look or smell burnt. Will changing the fluid and filter and using some Lubegard take care of the problem, or will it require servicing? If it did need servicing, do you know what is involved in fixing the problem, and possibly how much it would cost?

When I first start up my car in the morning my brakes squeek for about 3 minutes when I first use them, then when I get going they don't make a peep. They work great, they squeeking just cause me to worry. Is there something worng with them? Should I get them checked out?

going down the freeway all the sudden it started like jumping up and down. Now today, going down the road about 50 mph it starts doing it again. The only way I was able to get home was to down shift and drive 30 mph all the way back in no more than 3rd gear. This is a 92 model chevy truck and I don't know engine size or anything technical about anything. It is a 5 speed. When it starts jumping it also won't accelerate. We recently had the transmission redone on it also. If you know what this could possibly be and how much it would cost, please tell me.

Not much, just £4 worth of petrol and then he realised his stupidity and stopped. He went into the petrol station and told the bloke who said that a bit of petrol won't do any harm. I am sure that I read a couple of years ago that you can cause a lot of damage doing this, and that under no circumstances are you to start the car. Well, hubby's home, it appears no damage done, but it there??

I just looked at it and I have no idea how to get to the bulb to replace it?? Anybody own a 90-93 Celica and has replaced one before. I'm not a huge car guy so if you know step by step how to do it that would be very helpful.

I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT with 212,000 miles. When I step on the gas the motor hesitates and starts to shake. It stops when either I place more pressure on the gas or when I let off the gas. Does this sound like a transmission problem?

New in tank fuel pump (OEM)$280.00 14-16 psi, great flow.
YES I CHECKED.
New fuel filter (fram) re-checked it, it's clean.
Starts every time, and stays running.
As soon as I try to go, it backfires thru TBI.
Some days works fine warmed up to operating temperatures, or cold.
Today, it doesn't want to go. Yesterday before I parked it, it ran good.

With no load on engine, it revs up to redline without a problem
In gear, it doesn't want to do KRAP! Hot or cold.

Is there another filter or screen inside the TBI?
Computer code 12-12-12-12....No faults noted.

Oil pressure over 30psi.

So, I'm thinking TPS.
What are your thoughts?

I know on some vehicles you can use a wire and hardwire the computer to make the check engine light flash to figure out the problem, but how do i do this on my escort.

i am having problems starting my van turn the key to the on position and no power to the starter everything else works but motor will not crank. i have tried just about everything. if you jump the leads on the solenoid it will crank but the wire going to the s terminal on the solenoid is not getting any power. checked every fuse and just about every wire. if i connect a scan tool to the plug under the dash it says there is a linking error. could the computer be causing it, the anti theft device for the key, or maybe the neutral safety switch ? i dont know please help

i put in a fiver and we only used it to drive the 2 miles home from the petrol station and then to do a quick shopping trip on monday, then yesterday smoke began to come out of the car and made a kind of groaning noise so we turned the engine off and havent used it since. It was towed to the garage today for servicing. What will happen to the car????? Will it be fixable?!
