No fuel is making it's way to the carb. It turns over great...but there is no smell or feel of gas in the carb.
Could a fuel filter harden to the point that it will completely block the gas entering the carb...or is it the fuel pump

Ok, I start my car at work and it shakes badly while ideling. I get home and turn it off. About an hour later I try to start it and I get such a weak effort from my engine that it wont start. It turns over but it never stabalizes. I thought I had flooded the engine, but I waited another hour and it still did the same thing...It's a 1993 GMC sanoma with about 45,000 miles.

I have a 1997 Acura 1.6 EL..approx 241 000kms on it. The thermostat that tells me if engine is too hot or cold started acting up. I changed the thermostat. Still same prob though. When I idle (like in a fast food drive thru) or when I go up a steep hill (like at an apartment walk up; my thermostat meter goes up to just below the 'H'. As soon as I drive again the meter goes back to the middle where it should be. In the summer I drove for 2 hrs & my meter was fine until I got stuck in traffic and had to stop and the meter rose to just below the 'H' again,when I drove it went back down. No smoke coming from engine at all. Does anyone know what the prob could be? Some people said possibly an oil leak or I need a new Head gasket? I already had the water pump & timing belt changed at 200 000kms, and I already had the rad pressure tested & it was fine. I even changed the small rad metal cover but I still have same prob. Pls help, no one seems to know whats wrong with my car.

I had to replace a fuse on my car but I didn't have a diagram to go by so I was pulling them all out to check them. Once I did that I got a "check engine" light which a dianostic shows to be a faulty fuel level sensor. Did I do this or do I just have really bad luck. I drive a 02 Nissan Sentra.

A little while ago my clutch fluid ran out on my 02 mitsubishi eclipse. It was filled back up with brake fluid and ran ok but it still wasnt the same. It revs alot when i try to drive it but i have no problems switching gears. And before the fluid ran out i never had problems. So does anyone know what the problem could be? Clutch? Cylinders? Leak? Maybe needs to be bleed? Oh and will the brake fluid damage anything because the guy who is fixing it said it did and if so can i just bleed the line and it be fixed? Please help!!

I got a brand spanking new truck last week which I got from a hobo camp. I got it for $$400 bucks but theres a few minor problems. It looks like the truck has been through a war. there a bullet holes, dog scratches (bites), and a scorned lover scratched it all up. There is also an astrovan logo in the side because it was hit by one. Any way I can buff out the scratches, and holes? And pop the gaping dent out of the side of my truck?
PS. How can I get my front and back tire from rolling off when I make a turn? I almost hurt myself!!

Yeah...it smells like fife.
Yeah...it's leaking some gas
Yeah...when it backfires it sounds like a gang war!
Sure...its a dented metal death trap, but i have to get to work.
