I was told that you can put your car in reverse and drive backward at about 20 mph and slam on the brakes and this would ajust your back brakes. Is this true?

When I turn the key, the car will crank, the battery is not dead, but the car won't start. We just rode in the car about an hour ago and it was fine. There were no signs of anything. We checked the oil and filled it up. But the car is still cranking but not starting. What could be a possible problem?

Okay, so here is the situation with my car. I have a 1999 Ford Taurus. It's been a great car and very little maintenance has been required beyond the normal checkups. But, lately, and specifically as of the wintry weather has started up, my car makes a sound.... Well, let me try to explain this way. When I first start the car for the day, I turn on the ignition and the car idles during the start. While it idles, it makes a loud noise. Then, I shift it into R gear (it's an automatic) and it makes a noise during the idle part of the shift. So, anytime, at least this is when I notice it, it idles during a shift or accelerating the car, etc. it makes a noise while it tries to shift into gear. It's sort of like the noise your break pads make when they need to be changed. I have no idea what this is. Some have said my idle part may need to be replaced. But I have no idea and dread taking it to the dealer because they always find a dozen problems and jack the cost up.

I dont want to have to take it to some just to have them tell me it is. It's not giving off that bad smell like alot of stopped up catalytic converters do, but my car is a 1983 Cutlass Supreme and It has never been changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a '01 Ford Escape that has "blown" a spark plug and the dealer is recommending a Heli-Coil for the repair. Any thoughts on the reliability of a Heli-Coil for this application?

I purchaces an awesome spyder but fear that I need a motor the oil light stays on at idle and at about 2500-3000 it rattles quietly the dealer says "its motor time" others tell me to "ride it out" as they last forever even with the knock but has any one dealt with this problem (replaced oil sending unit and change oil regularly with moble 1 synthetic) there is no other problems right now but I have only witnessed one engine stop running by itself and do not wish to repeat that experiance (it was ugly)

I was recently t-boned on the driver's side by a driver in a SUV who ran a red light. The damage to my car was very bad, but localized to the driver and rear door. The body shop said they can replace the doors on my 2004 Nissan Altima, repaint it, etc., but many people have told me that I shouldn't keep the car as it will never be the same. I had not had any problems with my car prior to the accident, but now I am being told that it will start breaking down all the time. What should I do?

I have a 1998 Dodge Durango, and my temperature gage went into the red area, and the check gages light came on, then the temp gage went back down to normal. On the same day several hours prior, the temp gage started going towards the red but went back down before getting to the red area. What could be causing this?
