Maintenance & Repairs - April 2007

-My heater, fan, A/C only works on high speed
-Just replaced the alternator and had an oil change about 3 weeks ago.
-I don't want to bring it into a shop until I have some idea of what is wrong with it since I am a woman and I don't want to get cheated by the mechanics (I have before)

HELP!

I need to add that when I took out the last plug from it resivour there was oil in it. The oil was clean and it had been a while since I had changed it. Could I have gotten some in there by mistake or is my engine head cracked?

alright, I'm not sure when it started, but

When I'm in park, but the car is running, every like few minutes it makes a noise, that sounds like : Your moving forward with the e-brake on.

But the e-brake isn't on, and after I started pulling out and driving down the road the noise kept going again, like every few minutes I'd hear the E-brake noise.

So it happens both when i'm Idle and moving. Any Ideas?

I am not sure if you just fill it in the front or if it has a seperate fill tank for the rear washer. If it does where do I find it?

the brakes work good, however i have to continually add brake fluid. i could not find a leak anywhere, and pressure is good. i have been told it could be one of the following:
brake proportioning valve
antilock valve
brake booster
how do i test each of these and where is the antilock valve located? is there anything else it could be and how would i check it? i know i should have a pro do it but i am in college and can not afford that luxury.

I have a 97 Honda Civic manual transmission and I stalled at a stop light......I turned the key to start the car (engine is now on) and I didn't realize that the engine was on, so I attempted to start the car about another 5 times....I heard an unpleasant grinding sound each time...finally some kids helped me push the car out of the middle of the road....I felt like a complete idiot......anyways, How bad is this for the engine/car and what kind of damage does it do??

this truck will quit running (die) (wont start back) if you are driving it and it starts raining outside. Something gets wet underneath it and the thing just quits. Put it on a computer and it shows nothing. Put new starter, battery, went over all the wires I could think of and still nothing.

Can you get a Holley carburetor with vacuum secondaries that is also a double pumper?
I always thought that the double pumpers always came with Mechanical Secondaries. ( In general im talking about the 650s and 750s)
Thanx.

I am just wondering how long my transmission should last if I floor it daily. Sometimes I like to put it in neutral and rev it up to hear the exhaust, then when the rpms come back down put it into drive and take off. I manual shift sometimes too (3 into D, but never down too much). Pretty much all the time I put the pedal to the metal. I was hoping it will last the lease period anyway.

Also I love doing burnouts. I have probably done 10 or 20 really good, 15-20 second burnouts holding it in manual 2nd gear. Is this really bad on the trans? The fluid still looks nice and pink but when you wipe it on the cotton towel it has a little bit of black in the middle, but not too much. I will probably get the fluid changed around 20k miles.

I appreciate any answers. Thanks.

I have a 1996 Corolla and the trunk is stuck. I have a trunk open button on my alarm remote. I tried the remote, didn't work. I tried the pull handle beside the driver side, didn't work. I tried to put my keys in the trunk hole, wouldn't even turn. I tried lifting up the trunk while pressing the open button, didn't work. I think what caused this to get stuck is because I probably slammed the trunk too hard. But that's the best I can guess, I don't even know if that was the cause. Can anyone tell me what I can and should do?

Hey, i have a 96 monte carlo.. 192,000 km on it. the engine light is still on and the car is overheating. what could possibly be the problem?
- i replaced the thermostat, and the car is still overheating. Could it possibly be a head gasket problem? which is very expensive to fix??

I thought maybe my seatcovers caused this but after removing them it still did the same thing. Everyone that gets in my car and gets out and go to close the door gets a shock.

I have a 94 chevy caprice with a 350 lt1 engine. I have recently had a tune up and my fuel pump replaced. Car starts up fine but has a very slow take off when 1st started, and after stopping then going. The car is also jerking a lot, but this usually also only happens at take off, but also while I am driving at times. Does this sound like a transmission problem?

The problem started a week ago when I got a starter put in.This never happened before my car was running just fine.Now when I start it up the RPM idles kinda high ,give it a few seconds and it settles.Sometimes it will give me problems starting up too.Now everytime im driving and pressure is applied to the brakes the car starts to hesitate and will stall out,but recently I've learned as soon as I come to a stop if I put it in neutral/park it wont stall out (if im lucky).The (Service Engine Soon) light only comes on once the car stalls.My fiance works at an oil shoppe so were pretty good at keeping up with oil changes,air filters,flushes...etc.We also did a tune up hoping that would fix it but it didnt.We thou
ght maybe bad gas and put some dry gas in it but that didnt help either.Then someone told us it might be the mass air flow meter. Would that cause a 93 Grand Prix 3.1 to stall out and idle high only when the brakes are pushed?

Is it because I did not unplug the battery, or is it because the new taillights have an led component, I am debating if I should try to put them on again, the dealer said the will not fix the fuse next time and it will cost $150, advice is appreciated.
