Maintenance & Repairs - July 2007

I have changed spark plugs, oil, air filter, had carb rebuilt, plug wires, and some other stuff. Could the timing be causing this? And if so, is there anything I can do myself that will help. What could i do to check ?

Punks in my neighborhood were slashing my tires. One day I drove my car to school and the right tire went flat. The mechanic at a popular autorepair place put a new tire on and the next day a different tire went flat. My friend said the mechanic should of checked the tire pressure, but that is probably one more thing he really does not have to do.

I know that using the AC makes your gas mileage go down. But some days you just gotta have it, you know? I'm wondering if the rate at which it effects the gas mileage is the same regardless of how cold you run it or how high your fans are turned. Or does the effect go up depending on how cold your thermostat is set. Anybody know?

The truck is a 1999 Mazda B2500. I replaced the DPFE sensor a few months ago when this code first appeared, but now the code is back. The symptoms I have are: surging at highway speeds, as well as at idle, poor fuel economy, a slight knock/ pinging sound, and very little power.

I am worried about my tires and my alignment. Will sleeping in the back seat of my car EVERY NIGHT damage my car in anyway? I only weigh 115 but that could be a lot for a car. Thanks for answers!

I have a 97 Bonneville with 100,000 miles that has developed a small coolent leak on the passenger side. I just had the upper intake manifold replaced so I know it's not that. Can it be the water pump? It seems to be on that side of the engine. Any way to know for sure? Also, is this a DIY job? If not is it an expensive repair?

drive for a while to let the sealant stick, when would it-if at all- be safe to have the radiator flushed?

Also, is their a Radiator sealant that is better than the others?

I have a 99 Honda Accord. I don't drive it too often. I bought it new and have had it 8 years and it has 51,000 kilometres on it (equivalent of 31,689 miles).

Last week when I turned it on, it made the sort of noise cars make when they aren't going to start, however it did start and I only used it for a short trip with no trouble. I haven't driven it for a week and went out today to turn it on and it won't start at all. There is no power to the car. The doors wouldn't even lock.

Any suggestions as to what may be the problem? I've had no problems with the car up until now. Thanks.

I have just started having a problem with my car, and my mechanic can't recreate the problem. I'll describe it as best I can:
The engine seems to hestiate or sputter intermittently, either as I accellerate from a stop, or while crusing at highway speeds. It's not like it's missing, more of a jerk or a lurching feeling.
Sometimes the "Check Engine" light comes on. Then it will go off.
My mechanic cleaned the fuel injectors and replaced the choke trottle, I think. He said the fuel filter looked new, so he didn't replace it. It's a lot like when the fuel pump went off on
It is has started leaking water from the intake manifold. The mechanic also said something about head gaskets.
I also just had a tune up, and the car does not have an EGR value, I'm told.
I want to know if:
The water leak could be causing the check engine light to come on.
The Oxygen Sensor may be the problem.
The Head Gaskets may be the problem.
The Fuel Pump may be the problem

Any other thoughts?
