I have a 2001 Toyota Camry that has a noise coming from the front drivers side tire. So I decided to raise the front end of the car and investigate. While the front end was off the ground I turned the car on and put it in drive. Then I noticed that only the drivers side tire was spinning. The passengers side tire was not spinning at all. I was under the impression that both tires were supposed to spin at the same rate when going straight. Is there something wrong with my car?

the main seal blew out so i dropped the transmission and replaced the seal. Now first thing in the morning the truck has to worm up in gear in order for the transmission pump to pump. If you just start it and leave it in park even if it runs for an hour it wont move the first time it done this i took a line loose and it wasn't pumping **** but if it idals in gear for 15 to 20 mins. it will pump and drives fine any ideas.

I recently purchased a 1991 Chevy beretta from a private owner, it has been running good for the last 3 weeks despite this cold Chicago winter weather, but all of a sudden today it wouldnt start, it was a -5 degrees today and everyone was tellin me it was the weather that killed the battery, but it wont start period it makes no roaring sound when I turn the key or nothing, I have an alarm, my alarm won't chirp, and my power locks wont lock, my uncle told me the battery was dead and I need to purchase, a new one, but my brother told me it may be the alternator I need, he said he couldnt tell if it was the alternator unless the car was started, I got a jump from my cousin and the car started to make a little noise when I turned the key but still didnt start up, and my alarm was working and power locks then about an hour later my alarm wasnt working no more and the power locks werent working anymore and again the car nade no roaring, so how can I tell if I need a battery or new alternator

Is it a good idea to bring my Volvo s40 1.9t to Jiffy Lube for an oil change, and if so, is there a type of filter or oil that I should recommend they use?

I have a 2000 Ford Mustang. I replaced my battery one year ago. Last week my car wouldn't start in the freezing cold. I had it towed and the mechanic tested my starter and battery. They said it started when they got the car and they could not find anything wrong with my car. I picked the car up and it ran fine for a week.

I went out and started my car this afternoon and it was fine. I went out this evening and it wouldn't start.

Any suggestions as to what it could be and if I could fix it, since obviously the mechanic couldn't fix it???

i have a 94 thunderbird and it has 88k on it. when i was driving the car around and made a hard stop or a sharp corner the check engine light would come on and then the oil pressure gauge would drop all the way down so i checked the dipstick and i could see any oil so i add 2quarts to it and still nothing on the dipstick (i know i had oil originally in the car because i changed the oil) when i started it up i could hear a sucking noise from the bottom of the engine and an extremely loud squealing noise which i couldn't pin point and i know for certain it isnt the belt

My car does not start. We tested the PSI on the holes where you put the spark plugs and they were, 45 50 55 60. The engine is flooded with gas we are assuming because the plugs smell like gas.

I own a 2000 GMC ENVOY (Jimmy) has an extremely tough time starting when it's cold outside.. sometimes it wont at all.. we live in a city and it's parked on the street.. we did have a block heater installed but that didnt seem to help... we put a new battery in before the winter. For example, I'll get in the car and turn the key.. first time it'll usually turnover and start..but then it dies. I'll wait for a sec. and try again.. it wont turn over.. if I keep trying too long the battery will die.. sometimes when I'm lucky I'll time it right and apply gas as it starts.. and it'll keep running.. I usually keep my foot lightly on the gas to keep it from stalling. If I travel a short distance, turn off the car and try to start it again.. same problem.. wont start.. then at other times it'll start fine.. it's driving me crazy.. what should I do?

I can put my gas pedal to the floor and it still takes me 2 blocks to get over 25 miles an hour. My car has been to the mechanic, everything has been checked out. It's 14 years old. I was reading one of those fuel injector bottles and it talks about increased acceleration. Do those products that you add to your gas tank really do anything or are they just a waste of money?

Hi. I know that alcohol burns much faster than petrol, but is it true that if I mix 50/50 petrol and alcohol in the fuel, it will make it a lot faster.

What sort of damage would this do to the engine, over long term?

I know someone who put pure alcohol into a petrol engine and his engine overheated.

My windscreen is scratched from the metal part of the wipers rubbing. I have phoned autoglass and they say they only replace windscreens at a cost of £260+ for my p reg escort. Clearly not worth it as i only want to sell the car after repairs. Are there any companies that can repair.

I need to know how much it should be to replace the passenger side-side view mirror, just the mirror and the holder the mirror sits in, the base is intact. I went to the Auto Body store and they told me $106, but that seems like way too much! It's not like I need to replace the base, just the mirror!

When I first try to accelerate is hesitates and sputters a little then it just goes in to a full violent shake. It just started today while out shopping. The shaking (and jerking) got so bad about 10min from home, I had it towed. I have never had this happen to a vehicle, but it scared me too bad to drive. Please help.

Runs fine down to about 10 below; I ran it already today, for about 20 minutes. Ran a little rough, but good for go. Have to be at an appointment tomorrow noon, and it will be about zero degrees. Am I wasting my time to go down now and run it again for maybe 15 minutes? Will this help it start tomorrow at all? It is plugged in, but not oil pan heater, just smaller block heater. Any input appreciated. I can cook great meals, but not good at my car.
