Maintenance & Repairs - June 2007

I replaced the fuel pump and the fuel filter. Ran fine for about 2 days and now doent seem to be getting a fuel. Will start if you put fuel in the carb but no fuel is getting to the carb from the lines. Truck has duel tanks, but I only use the front tank as the switch has been disingaged. Please help with any ideas

Just wondering if anyone knows how much it would roughly cost to have the camshaft replaced in a 94 holden barina. Do you think its worth it? Or should the engine just be replaced?

As I am not Mechanicaly minded but I have a question I have got a ordinary diesel engine, is it possible to change it and replace it with a turbo diesel engine. If so what would it involve regarding other changes. The vehicle is a Transit van.

My husband has a 1994 Chevrolet Silverado, with extended cab and long bed. He wrecked it and bent the frame. The engine and transmission are still in GREAT condition, and he would like to find the shell of another Chevrolet Silverado that has a good frame and body to put his engine and/or transmission in.

Can anyone tell me what years are compatible? It need not be extended cab nor long bed.

Right now, his truck still runs. We have been using it on the farm.

I feel like somthing might be wrong with my 2001 Toyota Rav4. When i take off it sometimes drags and has a little trouble picking up speed. Also, when I start my car it wants to hesitate and when it finally starts it idles for a split second and then levels out. What could this be? I have 193,000 miles on it and I have thought about trading it in. They say Toyotas last forever, but I travel a lot. do you think it is time to trade it in? Thanks....I'm open to anyones suggestions. thanks

I dont know what this is called, but you know the things on top of the front seat. that can block the sun and has a mirror? Well if you know what that is, i broke it off by mistake. My brother was driving his car without permission and i was pulling it down and then it just broke off! There is still this wire thing that is connecting it to the car but its just hanging down with the wire. what should i do? my dad will kill me! and my brother!

Yesterday i changed out my alternator in my 98 honda accord ex v6 car. The haines repair manual says i can not adjust the belt tension and it is automatic for the v6 model. Ever since i changed the alternator theres been a slight squeaking noise on the belt that runs with the alternator. I inspected the belt before putting in the new alternator and it looked fine. So what could be causing this or what can i do to elimated this noise? Its not extremly loud but its there when the rpm is at idle or when driving 0-30. When the rpms are up or while driving faster then 30 the noise goes away.

They have lots of tred left and are very slightly cupped on the front inside. The back are fine. Are they salvageable? I'm getting a slight tire noise that gets louder at high speeds.

My car ran smoothly 3 months ago, and I parked it in front of my house since last used. Yesterday when I tried to start it, I find it cannot ignite. At first I think it maybe the battery problem, and asked some one nearby to check it. That guy told me the motor is locked and asked me to change an engine. I wonder if it is possible for the motor to be locked just because I haven't use it for a couple of months. And what may be the real problem.
Thanks

*re-asking because I screwed up my last one with edit, new at this*

It runs fine at lower RPMs, but when you try to accelerate it really bogs down and has a hard time.

-There is no engine light on
-No error codes were found on ECM
-I changed the Fuel pump and fuel pump filter
-The spark plugs and wires are fine
-Used Fuel Injector cleaner, but problem still exists

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

I own an '81 Honda Express. The previous owners left gas in the gas tank while it sat for about 3 years, so the gas tank is all gunky. I'm not sure if the oil pump works, so I wanted to mix up some 2-stroke fuel mixture, but I don't know what ratio I should use. What gas-oil (10W40 or 2-stroke mix if possible) mixture should I use for testing the engine?

Yesterday, had to call breakdown out, I put key in ignition but nothing, lights on dashboard came on and startermoter was trying to connect, but nothing. AA came out said battery was dead and to get a new one. Went to Halfords and bought a new battery, took it to my local garage to fit it, cos I couldn't get the clamp off of the old to put in the new. He tested battery and it was only running at 12.46, even with accelerator down, there was no change. He told me normal is 14. Went to car this morning to go into town, turned the key and nothing, completely dead, no lights on dashboard, no electric at all, nothing from the engine. Battery completely flat from brand new. Could this be a possible alternator problem, or am I looking at something more serious? No electrics left on overnight so it wasn't that, but the car clock was still working. Please can anyone shed some light on this situation for me.
