I have a choice between matallic tints or dye tints and want to know if my preferred metallic tint is OK. I've been told by Lexus dealer that metallic tints will probably cause major disruption to the performance of the sat nav.

I have bleed the breaks for well over 4 hours. Alot of air in lines with new calipers. Brakes are still a little spongy. Cant seem to get anymore air out. But now the transmission will not shift out of park. I know it should be something that has to do with the brakes. Im just not sure what. Guess this is what I get for buying a Ford. Anyone know of the problem?

The engine on this car is carburated and I was told by auto shop that I need to replace the distributor but I was hoping to see if it would be possible to just replace the cap and gasket or how do I know if I need to change the whole distributor?

I have a 1998 Dodge grand Caravan. I have noticed that is is stalling while I am driving. It starts back up. I have taken it to three shops. One said ? blown head gasket. The other never looked and the third ran a test stating that I have a mini. 25 ppm. hydrocarbons in the cooling system. Which indicates a combustion chamber to cooling system. They never checked to see if it was a blown head gasket but recommends rebuilding the engine. Stating that it would run anywhere from 5000.00 and up. I am at a loss. My car stalling is the only problem that I am having. I know for sure that I need a new water pump. I have done research but the symptoms of a blown head gasket is not what I am having. I need some anwers. Please help

how to replace a torque converter clutch lock-up solenoid on a 99 bravada

2007-05-21 14:41:22 · 2 answers · asked by clueless 1

So i have this old LT-12 Snapper Riding Mower. With a 2cyl briggs engine. 12 horsepower, and we cant seem to get it to run without full choke. we played with the air mix screw... not much of a change, we changed the fuel filter.. and checked gas tank for dirt...

im guessing its a fuel problem but i dont know what...

one more thing; when we look inside the gas tank there seem to be bubbles coming to the surface from where the gas like starts. [but no leaking gas]

this seemes really odd but if anyone could help it would be GREATLY appriciated.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I h ave a leaky windshield wiper reserve tank. I tried epoxy glue on the outside but only slowed down the leak. Is there anything that I can pour into it so it can seal the cracks on the inside and still be able to use the windshield wiper reserve. I tried to take the whole tank off, but the sensors won't allow me to.. Is there anything I can do other than take it to a mechanic to get it fixed. I really can't afford it right now and thats why I've been driving without windshield water for over 6 months now, but sometimes I really need it...HELP PLEASE...

While driving down the road at any speed my trailblazer will die on me. when I pull over take the keys out of the ignition and then turn it back on it starts right up but the service brake system or check air bags scrolls on my screen. it doesn't happen everyday but when it happens it will do it 4-6 times during the day. We already replaced the battery. When it dies the radio, lights etc.. still work.
