There is a smell when I use the Air conditioning and I can’t figure out where it is coming from. Is there a Cabin Air Filtration System? Where is the filter? What else can cause this?

My sister's boyfriend is trying to sell me a chevrolet truck which has a diesel engine in it. Told me that it'll run fine for about a mile, and then it shuts down. Said that it keeps getting air in the lines, and after the air is bled off, it'll start and run but only for a short time again. I'm thinking that it's the fuel pump, but not sure. Say's that he spent over $1000 trying to get it fixed at the dealership, (new filters, lines, ect.), with no luck.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I am not very good with cars and I was wondering if yall could help me out. My car is a 5-speed 1986 T-Bird Turbo and seems to be having starter problems. I think that the starter finally went out last Friday and its been sittin at my moms ever since. I cant get to the starter because of where it is parked. Since it is a straight gear, can I roll it down a hill and jump it off that way even though the starter is shot? The reason I don't just try it w/o your opinions is because if I roll it down this hill and it doesn't start then it will make it that much harder to get it fixed.

Thanks

Hi, my 1993 lincoln towncar has been putting really bad and I finally found the problem (I thought) I was pulling the electrical plug In's that go to the fuel Injector's and when I pulled them off while running It had a very low Idle which was good meaning that the fuel Injector's where working, but I came to the very last two and noticed no difference In the motor so I thought the Injector's where bad and bought two new one's but It did not fix the problem they still are not working and I checked the wires and they are delivering out volts to them two Injector's so the Injector's can perform but these two are not working, I checked all the fuses and changed the fuel filter and the air filter Is clean

I was wondering what else can be holding these two fuel Injector's back from working? It's only running on 6cyl.

Any help would be great! Thanks

I have a 1994 olds cutlass surpreme with 3.1 v6. It is running hot. I have noticed the dual electric fans are not coming on until like 250 or 260 degrees one will come on then when the car is in the red temp wise, the other will kick on. When i drive the car the temp is just a little above regular temp. When i turn on the air, no fans. But i did notice a loud click sound going from normal air to max air and off. I have changed several things, temp sensor, thermostat, water pump, radiator cap, fan relay, nothing. I even unplugged the computer for a hour in hopes that it may reset, still the same thing. HELP! I am tired of chasing this thing.

I have a '72 GMC Custom-1500, 350 engine/4 bbl Quadrajet 4MV, and an automatic transmission. I replaced points distributor with a HEI distributor. I don't believe advance is working. How can I check it without any special tools? Also, when I remove vacuum advance hose from carburetor, the engine idle doesn't change. Isn't idle suppose to increase or something?

I have a relative with a 1994 Caddy Deville. Last week a strange service light came on. "Service Airbag System" I was not under the impression that the airbag system required service. The vehicle has 91,000 miles on it and is driven by an 80 year old woman for errands around town. What could the problem be and how do I fix it?

It's not a "power"" growl, it's more like a rattling, grumbly growl.
And it only makes this sound when it's in one or the other of these two gears. When I put it into neutral, the sound stops.
What causes this?

I bought a used 96 Vulcan 800 in mint condition. I have had motorcycles in the past. They always had a view window that showed how much motor oil was in the crank case. Or they had a dip stick. This Vulcan has neither. It only has a chrome cap in the top of the crankcase on the right side that scews off with a flat screwdriver, but no way for me to know if it needs oil if it is low or too much or what. How can I tell when to add oil? Or when I am filling it how to know when it has enough? Please help me to find out if My Vulcan needs me to put some motor oil in her...because if she is low I want to add some....but I am afraid to add some without knowing if she is low because I dont want to overfill her. Thank you Your answer willbe greatly appreciated. Perry

My car has been having starting issues, it doesn't start up when it's hot out or has been sitting all day, but in the morning it starts just fine. I've been told it's some sort of relay that's broken, I'm wondering if anyone knows approximately how much something like this would cost to fix/replace. Any info is appreciated! Thanks!

I was backing out of a driveway (in a car I do not own) and the front right tire went off the edge- it is now hanging over the side where the water drains underneath-- it's kind of like a mini alleyway that is deeper. Anyways, the car is balancing on the back right tire and the front end of the body, in which the middle section is completely on the ground. I don't know anything about cars, but I know I cannot move it by itself. Do I need to call a tow truck or can I wait some time (maybe hours) until my older brother can come??

My car over heats while we are in traffic or at traffic lights.
The fan cuts in and cools it down but I Imagine it wouldn't be too good for it to excessively get hot. It has a brand new radiator just put in. And also a heavy duty radiator coolant.

But driving along it stays as cool as a cucumber and has no troubles at all.
Any ideas? Many many many thanks!

Also it is a 90 model holden Barina.

When the aircon (and even when aircon is turned off and normal air blows through) is on cold, it runs fine. As soon as it comes off the blue section and into the white or red, it blows a white smoke out the vents, it is a toxic smelling smoke.
Mechanic didnt know what it was and sent me to aircon bloke who also doesnt know but did a pressure test today which came back fine. Any ideas? it is a commodore vt. cheers, Jo

I've noticed recently that whenever I turn on the air conditioner in my truck, the air will smell like mildew for about 30 seconds, and then for the most part after that, go back to normal. Anyone experienced this before, and if so, how can I fix it?

While I have tried some suction cup screens, they did not work. Parked under trees and sap, leaves and bird poop. Sought sides of building first shadded when sun going down. Have also tried solar powered vent that sits on window ledge. All of these techniques are not working. Car is older and would prefer not to window tint. Has anyone tried anything differently. Wind shield screens don't cover the side windows.

The car : Audi A6 Turbo Diesel 1995 2.5 (stick)
190,000 km.

The issue: A few days ago I noticed our Audi leaking an almost blackish liquid under the middle(towards the front) of the car. Looked under the car and it seems like it's dripping from the gear box. There is also a bit of clear liquid dripping as well but a bit further back..I'm guessing it's the A/C doing this ?
I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem or not or is this normal in summer when you run the A/C?
Also, when the car starts there is a funny smell (like diesel) inside the car.

Hope someone can shed some light on this issue.


Thanks in advance.
Bethany

There is a plug in piece that has a rattle sound when the engine is running. It is next to the radiator and attached to the truck frame tucked under the bend where the hood shuts. Does anyone know that is?

It's a Nissan 1989 B12. A noise comes from the hood when the car is running until it warms up. The sound comes from near the timing belt. It is a loud squeaking/squealing noise that stops after the car has been running for about 10 minutes. What do you think it is?
