I have a 2001 Grand AM GT and the car will start and then die almost immediately. Both the security and the service vehicle soon lights are on solid (not blinking). I've tried resetting by having the key on for 1o minutes and disconnecting the battery. Is there a way I can find out if the BCM is the problem?

Does one even need a high efficiency oil filter for the car? If an OEM filter is rated at 40um (for example) how many hundreds of thousands of miles would a high efficiency filter gain? (rated at 15um? for example)

I ripped a lug nut in half on my 84 Camaro Z28 with a torque bar. The nut is torn up terribly and then my shop teacher suggested putting an air hammer to it to try to get it off so I did and now there's nothing to grab at all on it. I'm thinking that my only option is to destroy the rim by putting a cetaline torch or plasma cutter to it. Is there any other option for me unfortunately I don't think there is.

transmission to wheel interface.?

How difficult of a job is it ?

How likely will they try to rip me off and say other things are wrong with it?

What else goes bad when this part is defective ?

Or do you have to request it separate.

I know that I definitely need an wheel alignment, but I think I need a tire rotation too, so will they do a tire rotation and alignment @ the same time so I can save time and money?

Also how important is a tire rotation?

The cost for the part was $266.88. Does that sound like a reasonable price for the part alone?

my 2001 Buick Century started running really bad about a month ago.Put in a ton of fuel injection cleaner,and heet.Changed the fuel filter,PVC valve,Air Intake Control Valve(which was shot)and things improved.Now the service engine light is on,and I've noticed it idles a little rough,and engine sounds a little louder,just in the last couple of days.It doesn't lope like it did,but still a hesitation once in a while.The car has 81,000 miles on it and never given me trouble before.The manual says the fuel additives could have caused damage to one or more of the spark plugs.A friend said it could be the O2 sensor.
Being woman I want to find out as much as I can before I go to a garage and risk being shafted.Any advice,anyone?

It is an 1993 Buick Regal Custom with a 3.8L engine. It ran hot and I had to replace the heater core. Now the heater will not work and my car keeps overheating. It is also skipping a little bit. I am getting a tune up tomorrow for that. I also flushed the radiator and that didn't help. I noticed that the fans don't kick in until around 200 degrees f.

For years I've been told not to put a car battery down on a bare concrete floor. That it would drain the battery and somehow damage it's rechargeability (sp). Is this true or an old wives tale?

I have a 1977 Avion Travel trailer. It has a 3,000 BTU Suburban NT-30 Furnace. It has a 3 wire hook up for the power and thermostat. If I bought a new one to replace it, I would have a 4 wire hook up on the new furnace. Anyone out there ever make this swap? What about the 4th wire?
