I put in fluid and the next day half of it is gone, and I cant steer the car very well. I looked underneath and it is not leaking out. I cant figure this one out. Can you help? Any advice is appreciated.

I just recently/regrettably bought a 93 Pontiac Grand Am - 3.3L V6 engine 126k - with a fuel injector problem that turned into a transmission problem. Before I had a chance to bring it in, transmission went out. A local shop put in a used transmission with 60,000 miles on it, and the torque converter (not sure on it, most likely came with used transmission) - still hesitated. They put in new spark plugs and wires, new fuel filter (apparently was the original) and then 2 new fuel injectors. They removed the catalytic converter which had been a cause of the problem also, made the car louder but I was told it wasn't crucial to the car. Finally got the car back after they had it 2 weeks, while driving it home on the highway, around a bending curve to the right, heard a grinding sound and the center console was vibrating, could feel it through the gas pedal. Got to my driveway and it died, started it up and put it in reverse and it died. Turned off heat after it sat, got it to shift, then..

The check engine light in my Accord came on...according to the mechanic, I need an O2 sensor and he claims the part costs $380. With labor, it comes to over $400. Yet I just did a quick search for O2 sensors for a 2002 Accord SE and am coming up with prices between $60-100. What gives? Am I wrong in thinking I might be able to buy one of these myself and install it? I don't know much about cars at all, but have successfully swapped out a couple of parts before on a Dodge Caravan when I was given proper instructions. Any help here is most appreciated. Thanks!

Just wondering, if you drained all the oil out of your car then started it up, what would happen and how long would it take?

I purchased a 2005 V6 Conv Mustang with 10,700 miles. Having purchased it in January of 2007 I find it unusually strange that a 2 yr old car could have such low mileage. I checked in CARFAX and it doesn't reveal any strange history. Is there any way I can find out if the mileage was tampered with? Can the dealership tell if it was altered? The car was never taken to the dealership for service. The original owner owns a garage and did all the oil changes, etc.. himself.

my 1985 chevy s10 blazer will not stay running,
it has tbi (throttle body injection) and i recently ran it out of fuel, since then it will not stay running. i have replaced both the fuel filter and mechanical fuel pump. i've put gas in it... when i spray starter fluid in the area of the "carborator" it idles as it should, then stalls. this would lead you to possibly think maybe a vacuum issue, but i see no cracked or corroded or disconnected hoses.
what could be the problem??? thank you!!!

I recently tried starting my 2000 Chevy Prizm, only to have a loud clicking noise come from somewhere from the bottom left of my engine/possibly transmission. We checked the battery, starter, everything works fine and passed the tests at Schucks. My car had only the day before worked fine. I did however check the oil in the engine, and it was almost nonexistent, so in fear of having a seized engine, we tried turning the crankshaft, it turned as it was supposed to, and we added oil to the engine. Transmission fluids and others are fine. So what could possibly be making this metallic clicking sound, that will not allow me to even start my car?? A repair man said something about a neutral safety switch??? Does anyone else have a better hint? I am also really low on gas, could that be it?? I don't know why it would make a metallic clicking noise... Thanks!

My 1997 Ford Contour doesn't start. I had to replace the battery because the old one was shot and now starting the car is "hit and miss". Sometimes it starts right away, but sometimes it won't start, it will just continue turning over and over. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

I had the thermostat changed by 3 different mechanics in the past 1 and half - the heat worked until a couple weeks ago. Now it blows out cold air. The car temp gauge sometimes reads hot but does not overheat - I can turn the car off and later the gauge reads normal - my brother said have the radiator flushed - what do you think?

I have a 87 Ford F250 with a 6.9 International motor. It has quit running. It will run when I fill the filter up with diesel fuel and then will run till the filter gets low. I replaced the fuel pump and it still only runs long enough to empty the fuel filter.

1998 dodge neon. I dont know what is wrong but it started about 2 months ago. I would hear a squeking noise on the passenger side after driving the car for about 2 - 3 minutes. I would spray brake cleaner spray on it and it would be gone but then comes back after a while. This problem went on for a while but stopped all of a sudden for about 5 days and then came back. However, it wasn't on the right wheel anymore, it went to the left wheel. Again i would apply the spray to get it to go away but it would still come back.

Now recently another problem popped out. When i apply the brakes i now hear a loud grinding noise. It is very annoying and scary for that matter, I'm afraid the brakes would fail one of these days and really don't know what to do. Help.
