The spark plug shot out of my 2000 Mazda, I asked the mechanic to use a heli-coil and he told me that you could not use one on an aluminum head that I would need to replace the head to the tune 2500. Is that true?

I have a 97 eclipse and the check engine light keeps coming on. It said the IAT sensor, so I replaced it and reset the light. I ended up resetting the light two more times and just replacing the sensor thinking it may have been a bad sensor. Still having the same problem code come up. I looked at the wires, but they looked good. Can anyone tell me how many volts are supposed to go into the sensor or what other issue there may be? I do not have a mass air flow sensor. Everyone keeps saying that, but I don't have one.

I mostly drive in freeway traffic while commuting. I consider myself a good driver, by that I mean I slowly and gently apply my brakes early enough so I dont need to slam them and drive at speed limit or a little higher. The dealer is asking $480 for all four, but I want to wait until I can pay cash, rather than charging them on a credit card.

I have a 1991 Chevy Caprice and whenever I drive long distances my service engine light will come on. The last couple of times this has done that I will not be able to crank the car again for a couple of days. I called a mechanic and he said that the EGR valve could be the problem. Another said the catalyctic converter b/c of how rich the exhaust was. What is the problem??

It just quit one day, put on new fuel pressure regulator, new crank position sensor,got it started & drove about 5 miles & quit again.Got started drove it home. wouldn`t start again, got it started 2 weeks later, fired right up! Drove perfect , drove about 5 miles, killed it ,won`t start, I put in a new battery which it needed anyway, still nothing. I`m fairly intelligent on auto`s , I have worked on them all my life, but this has me stumped. Is something heating up & breaking down? (coil pack) I don`t think it`s the fuel pump because it runs great when it runs at all.
I hate to keep putting on parts that don`t solve the problem. Any help would be very much appreciated! Oh yeah by the way it`s a 4cyl 2.0 DOHC.

has 4.56 gears and yes it is constant when it happens, doesn't do it all the time though and sometimes the check engine light will go from being constant to flashing, what does this mean? This is the newest truck I have ever had and don't know much about them. Give me an old carbed ford and we'll be talking!
