after sitting for a while, I took it to a transmission place and all the gears were working, he said the problem might have "fixed itself" so I kept driving, and the engine light went off. So a few days ago it comes back on and the same problem happens. I hit the gas my RPM's just shoot up through the roof. and the gears dont switch. after I let it sit for a while I'm able to drive it home, with all gears, light still on. Any ideas? Could it be electrical instead of the transmission? Thanks.

Our car was in the shop for repairs because it would crank but not start. The shop could not fix it. They said it was a computer problem and would have to be taken to a dealer for repairs. The dealer said it was the crankshaft position sensor, and that when they change it they have to change the sparkplugs at the same time. This would be $348.72 for the sensor and $149.95 for the plugs that includes a motor tuneup. Then, they said the belts have cracks, which would be $199.00, and a fuel system tuneup for $89.00.
My husband usually does work on our car, but he has been working alot of overtime, and doesn't have all the spare time to work on it. He would rather do without the charge for the belts and do them himself, but hasn't done that to an intrepid before. Does anyone know how hard it would be to replace the belts, to save us on the car repair bill?

My 98 1.6L 170,000 miles LX (d16Y7) civic seems to take twiceas long to start in the morning. I change the batterylast month(14.5 volt while car running, Change sparkplugs, new air filter, new fuel filter, new pcv valvelast week. Replaced wires, cap, rotor last year they look ok and measure within spec. I even use fuel injector cleaner does not seem to help the problem. I also notice that a trace of coolant under the distributor so I change out the heater hose and problem did not go away.That a sensor with one wire on it. What is this sensor anyway? Could that be the problem. I see somemoisture on the wiring boot too. The car drives normal in the afternoon when I leave work. It starts up right away! The engine sounds normal and runs at 34MPG . What can be wrong? Any info will be great. Thanks in advance!

1998 grand cherokee. all time 4 x 4. it started out making a whinning noise from where the shifter is located(only when the car was cold). now the car has to be warm or it doesn't want to shift from 3rd to 4th(it's fine when it's warm). the truck makes a loud nasty clunk when it is put in reverse from park but if i go from park to say drive then into reverse it is fine. i know a lot about cars so fixing it myself isn't a problem or if someone can point me in the right direction and tell me what to look at then i am sure i could figure it out. trtans fluid is fine. my trans knowledge is not the greatest. thanks.

The seatbelts in my car will not retract for nothing. It's the same story for every car of my model. It's juts a bad design. I've traced the flaw down to the retractor. It's just not powerful enough to pull the belt in the way it is setup. Anyone know of anything I could replace it with that would be more powerful?

Well it didnt seem to help and when i go at high speeds it still seems to be riving too high and not shifting to OD. Am i burning it out agian? Someone told me my gears( or rear end) needed to be checked? Could this be the problem? Wouldnt they check that when they rebuilt my tranny not even a year ago?

When my car is cold the muffler makes a rattling sound which sounds like it's rattling inside it. This only happens for maybe the first 2 minutes if that of start then it quites out. I've read that it could be the baffles on various forums do you think this is the case? If so can I just replace the muffler on this vehicle or is it welded to the pipe and everything needs to be replaced?

Thanks in advance

We bought a 97 Jetta and have had nothing but problems since. The first day we actually drove it, it died in the carwash, found out the distributor cap needed replaced because one clip was missing. A few days later, it completely wouldn't start. We bought a new battery for it and my fiance drove it once more. He drove it on a rainy day and it died on him. He had someone jump it to get it home and since it hasn't started. He's tried jumping it and it does nothing. We took the battery in and they say it's good. When we go to start it, on the dash, where it lights up for Drive, Reverse, etc, that lights up but that's it and it makes a clicking noise underneath the shifter, which we think is wehre the fuse box is. Any suggestions???? By the way, we have bought a new distributor cap but haven't put on yet, because we've came into other problems.
