Maintenance & Repairs - June 2007

I am curious what the difference is because i want a deeper, louder, throatier sound with my exhaust yet a full exhaust system is about 800 dollars where as new mufflers are only about 200. I am curious which one would be better in terms of making my car sound louder and have a throatier exhaust note.

I have Chevy 355 w/ a quadrajet carb. I've been told that some of my vacuums & back barrels arn't working. I have and edelbrock 600cfm getting shipped to me but just out of curiosity how much more power do you think I can get from the new carb compared to the carb w/ the broken back barrels? How do I check if the back barrels are actually opening all the way when im at WOT?

When Im driving my car it upshifts great, when I decelerate it stays in high gear and starts to jerk and stalls after stopping. When I start it back up and put it in gear it stalls like it is still in high gear. resantly when it would start doing this I would downshift manualy to first gear and it works. If i let it cool down for 20 min it drives fine till it gets hot. The car only has 89,000 miles on it ,never beat on what would cause this? When it first started this it only did it once or twice a month now it is all the time.

just got the car 6 months ago. It has 40k on it. Have had a few days where the car took a little long to start but never anything to bad. I drove the car several times today and started fine. Went out tonight to move it and wouldn't start, it will turn over as it is going to start but just wont. I had the battery and alternater checked, along with fuses. Thinking either fuel injector or starter, any thoughts???

On my way to work on Friday, I was driving down the Interstate when suddenly I could no longer give my car gas. I rolled to a stop on the side of the road and briefly lost power. I was finally able to get power back, but could not get the car to turn over. We then tried jumping the car, and could only get it to take fuel if I floored the gas (and then it didn't take it for very long). It was towed to the place I bought the car, and they have given me two possibilities: my oil pump (ouchie in price) or worse my engine (scary!). Does anyone know if they might be right or do you think they're just screwing me around. I really don't trust mechanics at auto dealerships.

The dealerships and instant oil changes all want between $129 and $149 to recharge the freon in my car air conditioner. That is sad. I am in the Syracuse, NY region. There must be someone locally who is willing to do it for less.

But when you give it more throttle it is fine, untill you take off again. It will hesitate again. Do you know what the cause might be?

The truck is a 1993 Ford F-150 4X4. Its only got 76,000 miles. I have checked fuses and relays and I cant find anything. I got one of those trailer pigtails you plug into your truck and it worked fine but know my running lights in the front and back will not work along with my instrument lights. I unplugged the pigtail and they still dont work. WTF??

I have a 94 chevy astro van...coming home one day the speedometer stopped working and the transmission would not go into 3rd gear and transmission fluid was leaking all under the van. We changed the speed sensor, filter, and gasket. It did not seem to fix the issue so we took it to have a mechanic look at it. He took off the speed sensor to check it and put it back stating that there was to much fluid in there and that the 3rd gear has gone out and that we needed to get a used one and replace it. We bought the used transmission and then drove it up to his shop today to be waitting on him on Monday. The transmission was shifting fine and the speedometer is also working properly. I need some advice on what to do...Go ahead and put the used transmission in or no? Does it sound like we fixed the issue? Please someone help with some advice.

I have a 97 Buick Century. The front driver window was previously not working very well. Almost every time I turn on the car it goes down immediately. Then I have to hold down the button for it to go up, doesn't always happen right away. It has been going up little by little eventually, but now it won't go up more than a few inches. I had a similar problem with the rear driver side window not going up, but it was stuck about 2/3 the way up, and recently closed all the way. I'm trying to figure out a way to troubleshoot what part i need to get or how to fix it. I'm on a really tight budget as well. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.
