I have a 1996 Nissan Maxima, and whenever I am driving at a pretty good speed and hit a little bump, my car wobbles. Does anyone know what causes this?

Also sometimes when going over a bump that makes the car bounce, I hear a creaking noise in the front of the car, like something is loose or bouncing around in there. Can anyone help me answer these questions?

It came on all the sudden today. I had been driving it about an hour, during this time I filled up with gas, everything seemed to be fine. I went home, then about 30 minutes later left again and the CEL stayed on after cranking and has been on ever since. The only problem I know the car has is a problem with the brakes, I think it is the calipers but haven't gotten it checked out yet. Would this make the CEL come on like this (I thought the CEL only came on when there was a problem with the emissions) or can there be another problem. I drive a 99 Ford Taurus.

about a month ago i changed fuel filter and air filter but still my car looses ignition or engine??
here's story of one day.
in the morning i started engine and drove my car to first signal and it turned to green light so i stepped accellator and sudden calm (less than 1 second) after car moved as normal. at noon i was driving on the freeway about 70mile and my front car moved to slow at 55miles so i tried pass that vehicle and my car lost ignition? for less that half second and back to normal.
it feels like engine is dropped. there is silence for half second.like cars moving without starting engine. even passenger notice.
after i get off of freeway went to the mall parking lot and i was waiting for one car backing up from a parking space. About 10~20 sec. my car lost ignition. engine stopped. i restarted engine and everything looked okay.
it started happen about 2 month ago once in 1 or 2 days. but now it happens very offten.
i think it happens when gear changing. PH

A friend bought an old 1985 Jaguar which sounds great until I saw it - It looks like a second class vehicle the way the paint is so dull. The guy at the detail shop says that buffing it wont help, it is the paint. Unfortunately my friend has little money to spend on a $2000 paint job. I wondered if these $300 paint jobs with just shooting on Clearcoat would shine it up so it looks half decent? Anyone have any ideas other that driving it off a bridge?

Or just a new switch? My key is very worn, and I don't have a spare. I put wd40 in the keyhole and I got it to start yesterday, but today I haven't tried as hard as I did yesterday. BUT, I am going to try really hard to get it running once more to take it to the shop.

Also oklatom, if I get a new cylinder what do you mean about the security?

I have been observing lately that the gas meter in my car goes down much more slowly duing the first half tank of gas than the second. Is it possible that one gets better gas mileage with the first half compared to the second. I have a 98 Toyota Camry if that means anything. or, could this just be an optical / psychological illusion? Thanks
