It is a optional 4-wheel drive, and it stops shimmying when I let off of the gas. I haven't had any other major problems with it other than when it is in 4-wheel, it is hard to make turns and it seems to lock up a bit when I try to park it.

I HAVE A 1994 CHEVY ASTRO V-6 ENGINE. THE MUFFLER WAS BAD SO I CHANGED EVERYTHING FROM THE CONVERTER BACK. IT RAN OK FOR A DAY OR TWO, BUT I COULD TELL IT WAS RUNNING RICH. ASKING AROUND SOMEONE SAID THAT THE CONVERTER COULD BE CLOGGED. THE VAN SET FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, THEN IT WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT START. I DISCONNECTED THE CONVERTER AT THE MANIFOLDS AND TRIED TO START IT. I COULD SEE IT WAS GETTING GAS IN THE CARB., AND I HAD SPARK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR PLUG. I ALSO DISCONNECTED THE FUEL INJECTORS, THINKING IT MAY BE FLOODED. AT THAT TIME I SPRAYED STARTING FLUID IN THE CARB AND IT SPUTTERED ALITTLE. I CONNECTED THE INJECTORS BACK UP AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPS IT STARTED BUT I COULD TELL IT WAS NOT RUNNING ON ALL SIX CYLINDERS. I SHUT IT OFF AND GOT UNDERNEATH, UPON LOOKING AT THE EXHAUST MAINFOLDS. THE RIGHT SIDE (PASS) WAS LEAKING RAW GAS AND WAS COLD. THE LEFT SIDE (DRIVERS) WAS HOT. I'M AT A LOSS NOW DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.

When I start on first gear, accelerate and then let the clutch go, everything seems to be fine. My truck starts driving and suddenly after about 2 seconds, the truck reacts violently and wants to stall (sort of the what happens when you release the clutch to fast). What is the problem? Transmission? Clutch? I sure hope it's clutch and not transmission.

I have a 1992 buick lesabre with the dynaride system in it. I have had no problems with it recently, ran fine, my anti lock brake light and security light had come on but was running fine came home from work shut the car off and went outside the next night to go to work and won't start. The radio and lights all come on. But my brake pedal is very hard to push it seems like it is locked up. Could this be the starter or an electrical problem or something to do with the anti lock brake system?

Last fall I replaced my AC compressor and accumulator and then had a shop recharge it. At the time I was worried that I didn't put enough oil in, but the mechanic said I'd be fine (I told him I put about 2 oz in) and that he'd add a little with the refrigerant. It worked great for a couple months, then the engine would buck, kick, and stall when I switched to AC or if the defroster kicked on the compressor. Last night I bought a 4 oz can of oil charge and had my wife sit in the cab and kick on the AC while I connected the oil charge can. It was dark outside, so I could see that after about 30 sec of running there were about 4 spots on the compressor (I believe the clutch part) that were red hot. My wife cut the engine and it was smoking pretty good.

Any ideas? Replace compressor/clutch? More/less oil?

I have a 1995 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight and 75% of the time, it is very sluggish on the take off. If I come to a rolling stop, it's not really a problem, but taking off from a dead stop it seems to not want to go. I can put the pedal to the floor and she creeps for about 5 secs or more and then very slowly excels. She does not have trouble shifting while I am driving. There have been a couple of times that I have had plenty of time and room and almost gotten hit because of her sluggishness.

I drive a 1998 KIA Sephia (piece of crap, I know) but ever since I've had the alternator belt and power steering belt s changed a few years ago, they sqeal like crazy when I first start my car up. Its particularly bad in cold weather, and when I turn my headlights or my a/c on, it squeals too. After the engine has been running for a while, it stops, but its incredibly annoying and I've had them adjusted and they STILL do it. I've tried the belt dressing that they have too. Didn't work.

Any ideas????

I have looked in the owner's manual but can't seem it find it. It's not the service engine soon light - it's the light that reminds you to change the oil. Thanks for your help!

I have a Rover 214. When I am driving the temperature stays normal. There is no white smoke coming from the exhaust and no funny smell.
However, when I stop the car there is a water dripping symptom underneath the car - it seems to be coming from under the engine? The water in my resevoir is clean,except there is a fine film floating on top of it. The oil on the dipstick is clean. Although there is no power loss it seems to be extremely heavy on petrol. What is it?

I have a '02 VW beetle Turbo S. And i have to say that this car is quite the sleeper. Very, very quick has great handling and gets off the line better than alot of cars out there especially stock cars. At the track this car does 0-60 in 6.9. Ive beaten the likes of grand prix gtp's and ford taurus SHO's, and lets not forget those little honda rice burners i can take in 1st without even trying. Ive beaten eclipse gt's and tiburons with little difficulty. ive even kept...lost but kept up...with a subaru impreza wrx..not the sti. And mt car is stock with 180hp turbo engine. by the end of summer this car will have over 250hp....evo's here i come.

I have always heard that running a car's air conditioner will use more gas. I never really understood why it would. Is this true or false.
