I have a 1996 Chevy Lumina LS 3.4L DOHC (86,000 miles) with a four speed automatic i think. With the shift selector set in D1 and it will go. I move it up to D2, Drive, and Overdrive. It is just like it goes into neutral and revs up. High RPMS 4000-4500 or so. Once it gets up to 4000-4500 rpms it shifts into the gears. There is no partial engagement at all, until the car slows down and it downshifts back into 1st. This problem appeared suddenly, with no partial slipping, shuddering, etc., but the car just had a new engine from a 97 lumina euro 3.4L put in it. The fluid level is correct. Could this be a problem with the modulator valve or something else? Or, what other things are likely suspects? Thanks for any ideas! The tranny was fine in the other engine, but now its not all of the sudden.

I have a 96 Lumina, which just started making a terrible noise as I was driving. When I pulled over I thought I had blown my engine, but a good samaritan, trying to help suggested that my engine had not blown and that my coil packs, or module had gone bad. After replacing them, it runs, but very badly and when I put it in gear it stops abruptly and my oil light stays on. I am no mechanic but I believe it might be the oil pump or the timing chain. Could it be one of them or what else could it be?
Thank you.

i bought an air conditioner for my bed room less than a year ago and it worked fine for the first few months. but now if i leave it running for an hour or so a thick sheet of ice forms on the front coils right behind the filter. the filter is completely clean, no dust stuck on it or anything. the room is large and the air conditioner has enough btu's to cool the room. does anyone know what might be wrong with it and if it is fixable?

I am reposting this because my original wording was confusing people.

My A/C compressor cycles on & off every 3-5 seconds.
My AC is not blowing cold. I know compressors have a circuit to prevent clutch engagement when refrigerant is too low. When I try to add refrigerant, the system will not accept it. Does this indicate it is full or is there is a major break somewhere? However, if the latter were the case, I would expect the refrigerant to be accepted into the system, albeit it would then be wasted. Can anyone help me diagnose the problem?

My car windows were rolled down the other day and there was a grass fire in a field nearby. The smoke traveled into the vehicle. Tried Febreze and that seemed to work ok. But I still have the smell.

I've had my new shape Hyundai Getz for about a year, and it pulls to the left all the time. Why is this? I've had the "tracking" done, as well as changing the tyres around from side to side. Is there anymore I could do to sort this out?

Many thanks :)

How do I remove the rear brake drums from my Suzuki Ignis.
Once the brake lever is off and cable loosened, I thought the drum should come off reasonably easlily.

My 2001 pontiac grand prix started overheating and I took it in and the mechanic said that it was going to cost 2400 to fix radiator and hoses. He said they all went bad. Does this sound right?

After heavy rain the back left tire won't turn! It's like the handbreak is on, it always happens after heavy rain. It sometimes gets "unstuck" after driving it backwards and forwards until it makes cracking noise, but not this time. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm having some problems with my 1.2 V reg corsa.

When i go to start the engine from cold it won't kick in. The starter motor turns and seems fine but the actuall engine does nothing. I've just replaced the battery and spark plugs which hasn't helped.

One other thing that might help is that there is a constant clicking sound under the glove box when the starter moter is running.

Please help, having no car is making life so hard
