I have a 95 mustang GT and for the last month or so after driving it for say 20 minutes or so it will bog down and start to lose power.When i go to shift gears and get over 2 or 3 rpms is when it starts to bog down really bad and this last time it shut down on me, but it did start right back up. I have tried everthing but a new fuel pump which i have been told we dont need ,so any ideas would be greatly apperciated. Thanks.

My wife's 68 Camaro is my first ever restoration. It has significant rust requiring replacement of quarter panels and brand new sheet metal for entire front end. I have replaced the front end already. For the rest of the car that is not getting new metal, it has about three layers of paint, which has fish-eyed pretty bad. I want to strip it down to bare metal, removing old filler and rust, using new high quality filler and primer on top of bare metal. Wife does not want me to do that. She wants me to sand, primer on top of existing paint and apply new paint. For the experienced autobody guys, please tell me if this is ok. Or if it will cause problems later with the new paint.

I have heard that there are 4 different types of computers for this vehicle. Is that right? I read somewhere that it is located in the center console but after I tore that apart it wasn't there. Please help.

So in 2004, my dad won me a 1998 Mercury Mystique as my first car. Near mint condition, very comfortable and a smooth ride. I loved this car to peices. But last year the tags and insurance expired, and it sat for a while, and even still continues to sit. So around November, I decides to add a CD player. Getting the radio installed was hard enough, as my pap's and I had to damn near dissesemble the dashboard just to get to the wires and install a harness. Once we finally got the radio in, we jump-started it and that was that. Ever since then, I have to constantly jump-start the car, and leave it running. Now before anyone says anything else, I already took the radio back out and jumped it, to see if that was the problem -- surprisingly, it wasn't. Despite the fact that I could get into legal trouble, I even took out for a spin around the neighborhood, just to see if actually driving it would help. The next day it's dead again. Like I said, I plan on selling it, but not like this. Help?

I have a 2003 Range Rover 4.4 V8 that I haven't driven for 6-7 weeks. The battery is almost drained from the alarm and I can't start the car.

I bought a new rechargeable jump starter to jump start the car but it didn't work. All the electrics goes on when I've connected the rechargeable thingy but the starter engine just goes "click".

It's a Blackspur Engine Starter, but it doesn't say how many amps it is.

Is it because the jump starter is not strong enough? What determines the strength of a jump starter? Should I do something completely different to start the car?

Thanks for you input!!

My son hit a curb hard. The front right part of the uni-body, ahead of the wheel well was bent. The car is old and not worth much. Our debate is whether it makes sense or not to even take it for an estimate for straightening or repairing the damage.

I know this cost varies but What does it cost in general to have this done? $400? or $1500? or more?
Does frame straightening ever work-leaving the car without alignment problems?
