Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

I have a 1999 toyota tacoma and whenever it is idling the is a rattle coming from it. Upon further inspection, the pitch and frequency of the rattle changes when put into D, R, N, and Park. I thought maybe a belt too tight at first and a pulley was making the rattle but I dunno......any help?

recently my vehicle transmision has failed an I have gotten an estimate of about 1500 . I tried putting in a salvage transmission in, but it did not work.

now I have decided to return it to the salvage for a refund and use that money to attemp reparing my old transmission

I have all the standard tools such as sockets and wrenches used for motor repair, but I have never opened up a transmission

I found a rebuid kit on ebay

My (02) Vauxhall Astra stopped producing hot air from the blowers and I also noticed slight overheating of the engine, followed by the return to an unsually tool temperature. Checked the coolant, and it had all gone (it's been a month since I last checked levels), and did a pressure test to check for leaks. Nothing apparent.

Hot air is back on, and performance seems absolutely fine; only unusual thing is the presence of a very small amount steam in the exhaust emissions.

Is this highly likely to be a problem with the head gasket, or could it be something less serious? I've checked the oil, and that seems nice and clean.

I have a 2001 Accent, and the car bucked really hard and the light came on..I took it to the dealer and they said there wasnt anything wrong...I mustve hit ice. I have never heard of this, and I think they are bsing me; they just put the tranny in it less than 20,000 miles ago. Any ideas on how I can make the gears shift more smoothly?

Last month I got my 2000 Dodge Ram 1500-serviced at mechanic. He told me I needed new brakes soon but b/c of financial reasons I haven't got them fixed. They've been fine up until recently when I noticed-when pressing on brake it made a screeching/grinding nose from front. Also, my left front tire is emitting a rusty color debris-which I think my be from brakes? I know I need to get them fixed, but do you think I can drive with them for a little longer?

My car starts slow. No matter what time of day it takes like 5 seconds to start and when it does it sounds like the start of cars that were broke down in the movies. I have newer battery and good alternater as well as starter. Is there and thing I could put into my gas or something? Could it be fuel injectors, Iv also noticed that the car sputters when Im cruising.

The leak appears to be coming from the top of the hose where it comes from the bigger hose. Does this mean that i just need a new crimp? Is it easy to change myself?

I have a 93 toyota corolla. I recently started getting a rough idle when i am at a stop light. After accelerating, no more problems exist. If i get down to a slower speed, then it will start to act up again, if it comes out of it, i get a surge of speed. I changed the spark plugs but the problem still exists. What else should be checked? Will it be expensive? Is it a basic diy?

After I filled up my tank I drove 2 miles down the road and then my car stopped accelerating, it became really shakey and then died. For a while it I couldn't get it to start up again. After I let it sit for a few minutes then it would start but it was still very shakey and making a loud knocking noise. Does it sound like I have water in my tank or does it sound like something else?
