My dad was looking under the hood of my 1991 Honda Accord LX with 229,000 miles. He pulled out the spark plug wires, and found two of them soaked in oil. Another one was slightly oily. I've heard this could be rings, or the head gasket. What could be wrong with my car?

How do you fix this? The star adjuster only clicks tighter and won't back off to loosen the pads- cant remove drum. Also there is a plate behind the drum so I cannot hit the drum with a hammer to get it off- nothing to grab on to either.

My car was driving fine. There was no brake light or anything. When I arrived at work i went to park and the brakes lost they're resistence and the pedel hit the floor. Thankfully it was the curb that stopped my car. Could it be just as easy as it needing brake fluid?

My 1989 Mercedes engine just broke, it had 200,000 miles on it and it is in great shape. I am the second owner. My mechainic has an engine for me that has only 35,000 miles on it to replace my old one, it will be $3,000 to fix and that is with labor. If I replace it I can have a few more years of my car. What should I do, should I get it fixed or buy a new car from my uncle who is a car dealer for toyota, but payments would be high for me? I only have a part time job and babysitting as well as a full time college schedule. Please help me decide.

My fuel pump died. I replaced the pump sending unit was good. Ran great before the old pump died. After installing new pump the truck runs but has some hesitation and jerking kind of feeling. if you feed her a little slow she gains speed but if you try to push her down at all she hesitates and jerks. If you really try to punch it all it does is rev a bit high but just drops out jerks hesitates. I checked made sureall was tight. The only thing i can think of is a possible pressure regulator. Open to all advice Thanks.

I was driving on the freeway the other night and when i was getting off and pulling into a parking lot i heard something pop and then steam came out from under the hood. The car drove for a bit and then died and wouldnt start again until it cooled down. When it started the engine stumbled for a bit but then stayed on. When i poured water into the radiator it all leaked out somewhere between the engine and the radiator. When i turn the car on there is a loud screeching noise. I checked the oil and there was no water in the oil. My car is a 1988 300zx.

Why is it when you try to change the oil on your car, the hardest part is getting the oil filter off? And why is it so difficult, I ask? Because the freaking oil filter wrench is a piece of crap.

And I've tried several different kinds of filter wrenches. But they all leads up to frustration and bruised knuckles. So, why is the most simpliest part of an oil change, ironically has to be the most difficult? I'm sure there has got to be a tool, on the market, that can be used on any typed vechicle, with very little effort of getting the oil filter to turn. If there is, then where can I find it?

There are people out there that say having to much stuff on you key ring is bad. Some how the weight on the ignition in the steering column does not like this. Is there any truth to that at all? I don't believe it.
