Maintenance & Repairs - January 2007

my son has this 1999 s10, it just quit running one day. he thought it was the fuel pump. but it runs for the 2-3 seconds it is supoose to. but when you push in the vavle to see if any fuel squirts out it only squirts just barely. but the fuel comes out great out of the front of the fuel filter under the truck. I told him to that it could still be the fuel pump. so they changed 2 new ones and neither of the new ones would kick on. i think they done something to wiring. i told them to hook up the old one to see if it would kick on. but now i think that it is the fuel pressure regulator. we need some helpful advise. fuses are good and the filter has been changed.

I work in a garage and I get quite a few price shoppers. I was wanting to know why? Also do the peopel realize that if they stick to a single shop they will get better service, becasue they are a repeat cliant? I know price shopping comes with the trade, but what makes people think that a shop will give a free 4 hours diagnosis and then have the cliant go home and "fix" the problem themselves?

the heater only pumps out cold air around the car and also the engine is noisier than usual when the engine is shut down. It sounds like the fan is still going round but is revving too high. There is plenty of oil, water and coolant in the engine.

Whenever I try to make wide or sharp turns (such as parking in a parking lot and making a sharp right turn), the steering wheel feels like it locks up. It's a hazard because I almost hit another car while turning into a McDonalds driveway.

I have a 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass, automatic, two-wheel drive.

it has a new battery and alternator but can discharge overnight but not every night. The battery can be charging and reading 14V and then suddenly the meter reads 4v then 10v 12v up and down and the engine tone changes. Stop the engine and its fine then 1 hour later goes barmy. Checked the earth. Can't think what else it can be.

When you get tire alignment's done, can you do just a rear wheel, or do all the tire need to be done at the same time? Also, what would be an average cost to do the alignment in the United States?

Thanks!

Was running OK on Fri 29-DEC-2006. I left it overnight somewhere and had it towed to another location the next day. On Mon 01-JAN-2007 we picked it up; it was still on the bed of the tow truck. Two things happened when it was removed:
a) he did not lower the bed all the way, and the front of the van bumped against the bed as he was rolling it down.
b) he left the key in the ignition, and drained the battery. Then he brought out his charger and charged it back up for a few minutes. This allowed us to get home.

The next morning, I started it back up, and the Check Engine light came on.

I started the car again Friday and yesterday. I was cleaning it up so I can turn it back in - lease is almost up.

Yesterday (Sat) I started it and noticed, the Check Engine light still on and:
1) the driver's side door was shaking / trembling
2) the engine and whole car itself was wobbling / shaking / trembling while at idle, in a low frequency.

Ideas?
Nothing seems unusual while driving it.
