the timing belt broke on my 93 integra, and it is really expensive to fix. i don't want to go through with the repair, what are other options for it? would the local pick-n-pull scrapyard pay the most for it? or would it be accepted for donation to get a tax deduction? it had aprox 146k miles. sorry for all the questions. any help is appreciated =D

Hello, I'm a car noob who's car wont start, and am looking for some help over here!

Car Info:
1) 2003 Camry LE
2) 46,000 miles
3) Bought from a used car dealer 2 months ago, absolutely no problems until now.

When I turn the key to my car:
1) Dashboard/front lights all come on, and the car reacts to the remote.
2) I hear the transmission(or the starter), but instead of the engine coming to life, I hear a series of rapid clicks coming from the upper right part of the engine area.
4) Gas was a bit above the 'Empty' mark, and the 'Empty' sign was not flashing.
5) Washed the car a couple of weeks ago, no problem until now.
6) Friend checked the oil, said it was normal.
7) 'Check engine light' comes on.
8) No unusual smell at all, or any smoke.

Last time I drove it.
1) No problems when I drove to work this morning(5 minutes on the highway)
2) Very sunny day.
2) 5 hours later, engine wont start.

So basically, I'm trying to figure out what is causing the weird rapid clicking sounds! Thanks

I recently had my fuel pump & filter changed be cause it wasn;t staning crank. Then I had a PCV Valve installed, two days after this the car started to rev really high. So I added fuel injector cleaner. Could there be a problem with the engine. It is a 1994 Nissan Sentra w/ Manual transmission it is the 1.4 Liter. Now it Revs up for about 5 secs then runs normaly for about 2 secs and goes back and forth. Will this ruin my engine. because my check engine light isn;'t coming on at all. I also added a fuel injector cleaner and itgo worse is this bad gas

I have graded baseball cards in sealed plastic cases that have some scratches on it. Isn't there a chemical you can buy to safely remove scratches?

Do you need to lap the valves prior to installing them? Or can you just drop the new ones in and put everything back together?

My friend & I took a long trip and I drove. When my friend was getting out of the car, she pulled on the handle a little too hard and broke the plastic covering, making it so that the door can only be opened from the outside. The plastic has completely broken off in some places. I know she didn't mean to brake the door but now I've got to get it fixed and it's going to cost me abt $250. Should I ask her to help pay a portion of the cost? She offered but I didn't say anything at the time...not sure what to do. Need some advice...BTW, the car is a late 90's model.
