When I run my car and turn it off it won't start back up til the engine cools. I put a new crank shaft censor on it and it still does the same thing. Sometimes it stops in the middle of the road. Could it be a problem w/ the computer box?Nobody knows what's wrong. HELP!!!!!!!

My wrangler once in awhile stalls when i turn it on. I start it back up and it doesnt want to run. I have to keep my foot on the gas for it not to stall. Then the check engine light comes on. After i warm it up, and start driving it, it doesnt want to run for a couple minutes(not too much power), then it starts running fine down the road. But the check engine light will still be on. Then the next day, i wont have any trouble and the light will be off. I had it hooked up to a code machine today and the code came out to be P0108 which is a map sensor or baro sensor circuit too high. Can that really be what is causing this problem? I thought it would be a fuel filter or fuel pump, but i guess those machines cant pick up on that. Ive read where other people have problems with there crankshaft positioning sensor. Could it be that? I have a automatic 6 cylinder.

The transmission on my 2007 Ford Escape has gone out and will need to be "overhauled" or replaced (per the guy at the dealership).

How will this activity affect the value of my car?

Do I have any recourse against the dealership?

Maybe this is fate stepping in as I've taken a new job out of town and my car decides it's going to poop out. Here are the symptoms:

1) In the morning - fine until around noon
2) Around noon it starts to idle bad and shake - the engine temp is usually between warm and cool.
3) Around seven, when the sun goes down, it starts acting normal again.

I at first thought it was the heat, but because it's starting to cool down during the day, I'm less likely to believe that's the case (today it's only 88 degrees, the same temp I drove it around normally at yesterday evening)

When the car acts up, I get the following error codes:
12 Battery or computer recently disconnected recently disconnected
27 Injector circuit isn't switching when it's told to (TBI)
OR (MPI) injector circuit #1 not switching right
OR (turbo) injector circuit #2 not switching right
OR (all 1990-) injector output driver not responding
- check computer, connections (I get this error twice)

it is a murry mini-bike with a 3.5 horsepower tecumseh engine. The engine starts but to keep it on you have to constanly hold down the gas, and when you let go of the gas the engine shuts off. Yea, there is gas in it. Answers are greatly appreciated

Have a 1997 Cavalier with the 2.2L, auto. It will just randomly die while going down the road. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason, sometimes does it when slowing down, sometimes when speeding up to take off, other times just while driving along or letting off the gas to decelerate. Other than dying, runs fine. Check engine is off and computer scanner shows no codes. Any ideas?

In my 1996 lumina ls the driver window has a problem. Occasionally the window will work good until it is 75 percent of the way down and then It will lock up or right away it will crack open and then stop and will ONLY go UP.

Is this a switch problem or the motor or something else? Thanks alot

On my 2004 Camry LE V6 there are power plugs under the passenger seat. This seat is not "power" adjustable, but rather manual. I was wondering what the plugs are for? Lumbar support adjustment? I am about to replace with leather seats from a different model. Thanks so much for the help.

I have a 1990 Buick Century, and the temperature gauge runs a little over 200 (the midway point). Is a flush needed, or what could the problem be.

Note that this has happened, but it was 11 months ago, and a mechanic was able to do something temporary to it, but he did say I needed some work on it. Since then the temp. was fine until now.
