Neither Chilton nor Haynes has published a repair manual for this vehicle. That stinks since I am mechanically challenged, and without the book, I'm scared to touch anything.

I have a 89 honda accord LXI 5 speed. When I try to start the car it acts like it's gonna start but then dies. But the motor turns over but then loses all RPMS and dies out. And after it dies none of the check engine lights come on like if I killed it.And I was driving down the road and it did it when I put it into thrid gear at 20 MPH. So any ideas what it could be would help. Thanks.

I'm thinking of buying a portable air tank, and I'm curious which size I should get? A 5 gallon or an 11 gallon? How many tires will the 5 gallon fill? Using a 235/75/R15 as a common sized tire.

Do I have any kind of a leg to stand on? I told him when I brought the car to him that I was going to sell it and I'd like to find out what the noise was before I did. He ended up rebuilding the rear, replacing the universal joints, replacing a brake drum and the wheel bearings and a bunch of other stuff, all without consulting me. And the noise is still there!! He's a good mechanic and he probably did all of the work, but $925.00!?!

its has nothing to do with power steering, power steering is a loud whining sound, this is a loud squeek when turning the wheel left and or right kind of like metal on metal, greesing up the steering axel only seems to work for a min or 2 of driving then the squeek is back, with every bump i hit on the road it squeeks loudly i belive those are the shocks going, when not driving and turning the wheel there is a very loud and annoying squeek, thank you for any help

This is a 1986 Corvette. Sometimes the brake lights come on by themselves 5-10 minutes after I have parked the vehicle resulting in a dead battery. I've figured out that the problem has something to do with the master cylinder. I give it a smack on the end with a screwdriver and the lights go out, but if you wiggle the master cylinder slightly the lights come back on. I had my mechanic replace the power booster about 3 months ago but only noticed the light problem about 2 weeks ago. I don't drive the vehicle much at all but it makes me wonder if this is related to those repairs or if it is a separate problem. The reason that I think this is that I noticed that the electrical connector/warning switch on the master cylinder was loose. If that was done wrong, maybe there were other things done wrong. I tightened it and it seemed to make the problem go away but now the problem is back. What is happening here and is there a simple solution?

I drive a 2000 SS Camaro. I had a hard time getting the car into and inbetween gears just a few days ago. Now it's not as tough but it's making this grinding noise similar to that of a cat hiss, but lower in pitch. The noise comes only at low speeds, and when I'm slowing to a stop. I'm wondering if this is indicative of clutch failing to disengage. The grinding can be felt as vibration through the stick shift and hear quite audibly.

BTW, I'm quite positive it is not the brakes, b/c it happens even when the brakes are not applied.

Any ideas? If so, what will most likely need to be replaced and what is a typical cost?

Thanks in advance

this has happened to me twice before. I had been driving the car for a while and it didn't happen until today.

Ok so I'm sitting at a red light. My car just shuts off completely - the engine and everything. I go to turn it back on and it won't - it stalls so I stop trying. I wait 30 seconds and try again and it turns on fine - drives fine.

1) I have had people tell me it could be my engine's idle speed - i know for a fact this is not the case because my engine idles at about 600-700 rpm which is normal for my car.

2) i have had people tell me it could be the battery. Ok but if this were the case wouldn't it not start back up. And how could a battery issue cause your car to shut off - i thought it couldn't only prevent you from turning it on..

now I had turned my radio up pretty loud right before it happened - but this i know is just coincidence because a month ago when it happened i didnt even have a radio in the car let alone turned on.

or does it have to be replaced?

I got a quote for $802.00-I cannot afford that. It's either gas or AC, I can't do both.

The mechanic says that it may be the voltage regulator or maybe the wiring harness.It's causing the battery to not be recharged. Please help!!
