Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

I have a problem, I am thinking it is the dashboard cluster on my van. When I am going about normal speed on the highway, (say 60mph) All of a sudden the oil light will come on and then the speedo will drop from the speed to 0 and then up to the speed again. When the speed goes back up again the oil light goes off and the gauges go back to normal, speed, gas etc. I gas my van up every day (35 gal tank) and even though the tank is full the gas gauge registers half. I check the fluids every day, (oil ,trans etc.) and the fluids are fine. Dashboard cluster, maybe a ground wire somewhere. Somebody , If you know what it is, PLEASE HELP!

I'm looking at buying a used Honda Civic 2003, the engine seems to shake (forward/backward) more than that of my Pontiac Sunfire. It is a lot quieter, but does make clicks (I am assuming its the valves). The engine does not have a knock... Is this normal? I know 4 cylinders shake, but this moves almost 1/2 inch from front to back. Also, the car only has 27000 miles on it.

I would like to "hide" a spare key somewhere on outside of my car in case I should ever accidentally lock the keys inside. It contains a "chip". Is the "chip" necessary to unlock the doors, or is it only needed to activate the ignition?

Yesterday, my Mom was driving at about 60 mph when when heard a "pop", then the car shut down. When I went to get her, I looked under the hood for a sec, and tried to crank it. Starter spins fine, and turns the alternator, but the car doesn't try to turn over. Timing belt doesn't turn. Have had some suggest that it may be the cam sprocket that broke. Need any suggestions as to possibilities and, if known with suggesstions, what kind of repair costs could be expected. Also have been told that if timing system broke at 60 mph, more than likely valves are bent.

I have an automatic transmission Suzuki sedan and If I push on the accelerator on a road, it doesn’t do a thing it just sounds like I am revving up the engine. It lasts that way for quite a while, and usually I have to pull over because of the speed decrease( 40kmp). Then all of a sudden it becomes okay again. ( note: fuel filter+fuel pump+air filter+engine oil+auto transmission oil+ timing belt are already changed recently but still have the problem)

Its an automatic 'M' reg RT.

When I put it into drive it will go forwards but over revs and barely moves. If I put it in reverse its fine.

Could it be that the gearbox is knackered or that it is something else I know the simple things but this is way beyond me.

How much would a new gearbox cost anyway?

PLEASE HELP!
