Hi, im 15 years of age and i was doing some black spray painting on wood for my school science project. I tried to cover my mouth while i sprayed it but the smell was so nasty and strong. Now its all over the house because i brought the wood in but i took it out just now. Will the smell of the paint have any harm to my health? I been breathing the smell for more then 3 hours waiting for it to dry.

I just bought a 2003 Nissan Sentra SER and it uses 5W30 engine oil. I was hoping I could get some good feedback on preferred oil types. Someone suggested Mobile 1 synthetic.
Any suggestions?

My truck has an issue where at random times, the running lights (not the main headlights) will blink several times. It happens usually right after I start the engine, but can happen anytime. I also hear a clicking noise in sync with the blinking, and it is similar to the sound when you have the blinker on, but it is different. The blinking does not happen when I have the main headlights on, but I can still hear the clicks. I have some knowledge about electronic systems and cars, but this has me stumped. If you don't have this answer, does anyone know of a good mechanic in the Galveston County, Texas area? Any help is appreciated.

The guy walks in with a starter that has solenoid on top. They tell him his problem is not the starter, it is the solenoid. The one they show him leaving with is not the one that goes on the starter. It is one that fastens to the fender.

How do I fix this?

I drive a '96 Dodge Intrepid with 160k+ miles on it. The Tranmission seems to be sticking in nuteral time to time. I have to Rev the engin up to about 4-5k RPM's for it to kick back into first gear at low speeds. Sometimes at high speeds it does not kick into the 4th gear so it wants to run 4-5k RPM at 50MPH. Is this just low tranmission fluid problems or is this a larger problem?

I have a 95' Nissan Maxima. Ment!

It only squeals for a couple seconds. Can it be because of winter and this sudden intense chill in Chicago? The car is pretty cold sitting outside all night. It never happened before, but now. I think its called the Alternator belt. The belt is located on the right side of my engine near the water pump. Looks and feels good though.
F.Y.I. My water pump is currently leaking. This all I can pretty much say about it.

Please help, thanks alot....

I need a brush or something to scrub my aluminum rims. I know that a specialized brush is probably 3X the cost of say a bathroom brush and probably lower quality. Is there a common household cleaning tool I can use that won't harm the finish? I was thinking of a soft bristle deck scrubber or a toilet brush.

I have performance tires on my car and they are horrible in the snow, but I'm told they are great in the rain. Should I spend the money on snow tires for a few months or switch to all season? The current tires are in great shape. (I've had the car for only 4 months)

remove it. Unfortunately I had to cut it off. I pushed the pastic in as far as I could but it didnt go all the way down. Now my dipstick cant be reinstalled and also if I do ever push the plastic down, will that affect the motor? I heard that there is a screen that will prevent any objects (plastic tube) from getting into engine.

I asked about my Malibu before but, my dad said not to get the coolant system flushed because if the muddy looking clumps are stop leak that I'd have problems. I am really bothered by this. It never overheats (but I guess that doesn't mean that it didn't overheat on the last owner) and I have owned it 9 months now. Is it safe to just drive it (monitoring the fluids and temp gauge, of course) until other problems arise? like overheating, loss of power, leaking, or excessive use of coolant or oil??? I CANNOT afford car repairs right now, but tomorrow start a new job and I was just going to put a nice chunk of money away "just incase"
