I have a 1998 Plymouth Breeze that is acting weird. Sometimes it starts up just fine. Other times it turns and turns but never starts. Anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

I have an 84 Chevy Suburban 6.2 diesel and 700r4 Trans. I came up to a stop sign, then started going, first gear went real high, and I tried to let off a bit to let it ****, but it didn't just kind of sounded like it fell out of gear, and now I have no go. I press gas, nothing happens. Park still won't let it roll, but 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th are gone. Automatic trannys are not my specialty and I'm not trained on them much, so I am curious, does this sound like a full rebuild or a shift cable or what? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Is it normal for a Model T to have boiling in the radiator after the car is driven? It usually takes 2 to 3 quarts of replacement water when I want to drive it again. I know Ts are supposed to run hot but does this sound to be normal operation?

I was on my way to work this morning, and at a stop sign, the light turns green, and I hit the gas, and I suddenly hear this loud lawn-mower type noise. This has never happened before. It's very loud, almost like a huge truck! It's only when I hit the gas or when I am in park. What could this be. I am pretty sure it is not the muffler.

I briefly talked to my friend who also has a Mustang, an 01', she told me this happened to her, and she said it was something that is illegal to mess with? She told me the name of it but I forgot! This is very urgent. She said this happened to her before and her father drilled a hole into something, which made the noise go away! I am clueless.

What do I do to jump it? What color is neg and what color is pos? What if I put the wrong one on the neg & the wrong one on the pos? I think I did that, now I get all the lights to come on but when I try to start it, it just clicks like tic tic tic... What do I do? I dont even know if I've got them in the right place.

the window mount doesn't move up or down. It occassionally tries to go down but just goes maybe one inch and gets stuck. I've lubricated all parts-nothing happens. Ive removed the window and i hear the motor going fine yet it won't move the mount up or down. Could it be I need a new window regulator-not motor. All of the other windows work fine. Does anybody know about this stuff?

He has a 1998 Subaru Outback Legacy Wagon. He wants to know why his abs, air bag, check engine light are on. He's refreshed them but they keep on coming back. The codes are P1722, P1722 PD, P1103, P1103 PD, P0463 PD. If he knew what these codes meant then he would know what to bring it into the shop for. He needs all the help he can get because he can't afford to buy another car.

I have a 77 Monte Carlo that wont pass smog, but I'm getting decent mileage about 12mpg, and if it doesn't pass smog my dad wants me to sell it and buy a new truck, it was my moms first car, and i don't want to sell it.
Its been parked for last part of a decade, but runs, needs tranny seals.

It wasn't passing smog before it was parked.

... or can I just get an alignment first? I guess more to the point: Do new shocks (in OEM sizes) affect alignment?

This is for a 1998 Toyota Tacoma 4wd, 144k miles

(99 malibu). I still cant' get my brakes to bleed. I followed the suggestion about bleeding @ the master cylinder. The Front brake line (which I'm assuming goes to the front brakes) did fine. plenty of pressure after having someone pump the brakes up. As I mentioned in my last question, back brake bleeder valves are getting no fluid to them (tried pumping and gravity bleed). So when I tried to bleed the back line at the master cylinder (which once again I'm assuming goes to the back brakes) I'm getting no pressrue. At best I'm getting a couple of little drips out of it after opening the line up (after having someone pump the brakes up). Is this leaning toward being a master cylinder problem? plenty of pressure out of the front line at the master cylinder, but none out of the back line. at the moment the $90 for the new master cylinder is hard to come by, so I want to try and make sure that is my problem before investing the money. Thanks for everyones help!

"I have an 87 4.0 auto 4x4 inline 6. It will start cold with no
problem but after a few miles in hot temp or 20 minutes of driving will
stall or not start again until the engine has cooled some. I had a
mechanic look at it (small town) and suggested either ignition coil, module or
pick-up coil. I tested the ignition coil and it passed all ohm tests
but not sure if looking at replacing the entire distributor is the
correct way of thinking or if there is some other problem here. The engine
temp is fine and so is the fuel pump (already tested)."

My 96 chevy s-10 4.3 v6 2wd p/u has been giving me troubles starting for three months. It cranks over but doesnt fire. I checked the distibutor cap and and rotor, which the distributor cam was rusty so i used a fire brush to clean it off. DIDN'T fix anything though. I don't think its the plugs or wires because it drives fine after started and every forum i see with the same problem, people change them and still don't have results. I don't believe its the fuel pump, because i can hear it click on when i turn the key on and its beeen going on for 3 months.
Air filter is clean, I don't know where the fuel filter is. The only way I get it starte now is spraying carb cleaner in the intake plate. No service engine light on either.

Got an 2000 Acura 3.2TL with 87K miles since I bought it brand new. No problem with the car. Been using the standard 5W-30 oil. from what I've heard and read about synthetics, would it be prudent for me to shift to that type oil or as they way if it aint broke don't fix it.

My 1987 honda won't start. We deduced that it's getting gas and it does get a spark, so now we are thinking it's with the timing. The engine turns over but never "pops"
