Okay had a heating problem before and it seems like my car doesn't want to stay cool, and i have done everything to make it work, i just replaced the radiator, and i had the fans repaired so they can come on but Im wondering if the water thats coming out of the overflow is because i have water in the reservoir instead of a mixture of antifreeze, is it because the water boils at a lower temperature. I have a new radiator, new reservoir, new thermostat, and my fans work. but i have it to where there are always on, because i couldn't find a fan harness for my car, but i doubt that the fan running is the problem cause it is cooling the car, and today it was hot outside and i was in stop and go traffic, for a while, and im wondering did that have an effect on the heat in the car, and should i just use antifreeze instead of the pure water. Someone help or could it be the worst a blown headgasket but i dont have signs of one yet at least i think. So someone please help me thanks!!!!

Yesterday I was accelerating and my truck reved for too long (its automatic), then it finally changed gears, but now everytime I try to accelerate it kind of "chugs/slips/jumps around"..

My dad thinks it is a fuel pump problem, anyone else think they know what it might be?

Not a belt problem, we checked those.

(There is also a squeak when its just idleing, and when you accelerate the squeak gets louder)

It's an 01 Tacoma. Never had a single problem and took it to get buffed and detailed. Picked it up after the shop closed and it was sputtering and check engine light came on. Drove it 25 miles and it didn't change. Any ideas?

Tried a butterknife but it didn't work too well, the sticker is really stuck, for lack of a better description, and I don't want to damage the windshield, plus its on the lower side of the windshield, so access is a little tight. Any chemicals that I can apply that will soften it up?

My car was smoking the other day. I checked the the over flow tank and it was empty, so I added some water and it leaked right out of the bottom. Is this just a leak or something else, if it is a leak can I fix it? It is a 1997 Mitsubishi mirage

You know, one of those automotive shows where they show you the process of spiffing up the car.

When they weld stuff (i.e. the bright blue flames), can it actually damage your eyes even if it is on television only.

I know that you musn't look at a real live welding fire without protective glasses, but is it the same when you view it from a t.v.?

(I always look away when that stuff is happening on the T.V. but I'm just curious as to if it can do actual damage to the eyes).

My rearview mirror recently fell off (I know, ha ha :-)), and I replaced it will a $15 mirror from Advance Auto Parts. I put everything on correctly, and the mirror is snug on the plate thing that is glued to the window. However, the mirror itself rattles and rumbles whenever I'm driving faster than about 40 MPH. How can I fix this?

For the time being I own half of a car, but alas I am about to loose my half in a divorce. What can I do to permanently disable this car. I don’t want to blow it up, I just want to make it worthless. I thought about sugar water in the gas tank, and I thought about bleach in the motor oil. Hell I’ve even thought about hiring a cement truck to fill it full of cement just to make a statement (although I think I want to be a little more discreet). What would be the best way to accomplish this?

My car was having problems. It, out of the blue, would not start. I would tap on the connector that plugs into the ignition module and it would start and be ok for weeks. Then all of a sudden i would have to tap it again. I was low on gas. The signal went off. I made it a short distance home. Then I forgot and drove about4 miles. The next morning I drovw 1 block and it went dead. I am sure i was out of gas. I have tapped on the connector. Nothing works. I cleaned the connector. I have put $10. in gas. Still will not start. I think it may be the gas pressure. Some have told me the fuel pump burns up when out of gas. Others said no. I have got it to backfire once so I am sure gas and spark are there. My son says he can see spark.
If I can get the pressure up and have my son tap it might start. Otherwise i will have to take it to the shop which is like Mayo Clinic.

Okay, my car seems like it hasn't been getting that great of milleage lately, so I've checked the pressure in the tires.

The smart alecks at the oil change place love to fill them low, at around 32 pounds. I think they think they're making life easy on themselves or doing the world a favor.

So, I took it to the tire place, and the guy recommends 35 pounds, but I explained I want to get the max for the best mileage possible.

He looks on the tires and it says 44 pounds, so he says he'll do that, but neither he nor the manager seemed to know anything, saying that "we'll do this if you want to do."

So I'm stlll not sure. I've heard that overinflating can hurt under carraige parts. Will 44 pounds be okay?

I hope that someone here knows more than the nerds at the tire place, thanks.
