Fuel door area received no damage before or after I popped it open with the release button so this is very puzzling for it to be ajar "out of the blue".

What do you think for a Chevy 350 V8 4 bolt main with about 400 hp. Cam, high compression, ect., no smog, 7 qt pan, in a 43 Willy's. Should I use 10w 40 Mobil 1 or the 15w 40 Shell Rotella (has the anti-wear additives still in it)? Just thought I would ask, I am interested in the responses.

When I am going from 0-60 pressing down on the gas hard. The car shifts from all the way to the 4th gear. But I have to let up on the gas then press it again to get it going in 4th. What can be wrong?

So any advice?

I think it's just the cable that goes from the shifter to the transmission, but don't want to spend the cash for an extra cable if it's something else.

It's a 96 Corsica, 74k miles. First it wouldn't start (lights would come on, but it wouldn't crank), then it started cranking but now won't engage. I think the cable mestup so it wouldn't crank (maybe it was in Drive or something) and then it started cranking, yet the transmission won't engage, and the shifter doesn't have any "resistance" like normal when changing gears. I'm thinking it's the cable, but do you have any advice? :)

Here's a video of the problem,

Vehicle: 1981 Chevy 1/2 ton (Scottsdale)
Specs: 305ci (according to VIN);

At about the end of my wits on this one...

Problem: Starter sounds like it's trying to tear teeth off the flywheel.

Attempts to resolve:
Changed starter. worked for about a week, then started happening again.
Shimmed starter. worked about a week, problem again.
Got new bolts. good for a week, problem again.
Was able to realign and each time it happened and then problem again.
Got bigger bolts, this time size and installation by my mechanic.
Worked for about a week and today same thing.

Possible pattern: I've noticed that the problem doesn't happen unless the truck has been stopped for only 5 minutes and then started again. The problem has never begun again if the truck is left overnight without starting or at least a few hours.

The flywheel has all of its teeth and is in great shape (though not for long if this keeps happeneing.)

Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.

I am leaking around 1/8 qt a day out of the breather pipe (which drains just under the air filter). Does that mean there is too much oil or is something wrong? 1981 Yamaha XT250 Enduro

My grandfather drove up today in his Camaro and shut the car off, and I walked by it maybe 10-15 minutes later and heard a boiling noise, so I went and got him and we looked under the hood and sure enough the coolant was boiling. He says that's normal and water boils at 220, we are at sea level, and that nothing is wrong. I say it's not normal and something's wrong. Who is right?

I got into a huge argument yesterday with my g/f. One of her mechanics told her that this heavy weight of oil was good for her car. She only drives in the city or down to see me. It is a 2000 corolla with about 80k miles, and it does leak oil apparently. I recommended 10W40 and to switch to a synthetic brand for a couple of months. We live in the Los Angeles suburban area, and the warmest it gets where she is in the summer could be around 105-110, and the coolest it gets in the winter is probably 35-40. Right now it is anywhere from 45-80 degrees night-day.
Thanks!

Every time I have something go wrong with a car, any of the cars I've had, I go to the part store and get to listen to how any other model of car would have the part for so much cheaper but mine is "special" model so it requires a more expensive part....What kind of vehicle would I have to have to always be able to go to parts store and get what I need for a reasonable price and not have to listen to the same bull about needing a "special" part?

For example, I had a '94 Chevy Blazer - 4 x4 , 4 door. They said because it was a four door instead of a 2 door that it required "special" parts that were more expensive...

I had to borrow this nissan maxima from my stepdad until i got my car back from the dealer, and that day the car was working fine. This morning i tried turning it on and it wouldnt start. The radio turned on so the battery was ok. The oil level was ok too, and there was no clicking noise so i dont think it was the starter. I checked the coolant and it was all empty. Do you think that if i put coolant in that would turn the car on or could there be more problems than just that?

Hello gurus,

My car runs fine but last night the MIL turned on. My mechanic is busy for a few days and i am anxious to find out what it is. I checked the obvious and these are what i find -

1) gas cap is tightly shut
2) checked the exhaust - its clear
3) there is no loss of power at any speed
4) there is no ticking / knocking sound from the engine.
5) the radiator neck has a few drops of coolant around it - i donno if its a leak
6) the engine doesnt overheat (i.e. the temperature needle always stays at 50%)
7) i got an oil change 1 month ago.
8) the transmission is fine

If anyone could help me in guessing what it could be it ( or atleast tell me if it could be serious), it would be highly appreciated. I dont trust the other mechanics around my town and therefore hesitate to go to them.

thanks in advance!
