When I have my AC off or on a low setting, my 95 Camry starts to overheat. It drives fine, but I am weary about taking a 3 hour trip in a couple of days if this could be a big problem.

i have a 1997 peugeot 306, and recently (gradually) the handbrake light started staying on when i turned the steering wheel in one direction, and now stays on permanently when i drive (and the handbrake is definitely not on, so no obvious reason for the light to be) anyone got any ideas?

i have a 1997 peugeot 306, and the last time i drove i noticed that the brake pedal goes to the floor to brake, instead of being much more responsive previously. it still works, but i'm concerned it's indicative of a more serious problem. can anyone help?

It wont start. I bought it a new battery, and still wont start.
Something seems to be draning the battery power. It was sitting for a week and was able to crank it up with cables.
Does any one knows what it might be? What is the proper battery it should have? Other than the battery what can be happening with the car.

hi there, i was wondering if anyone knew what i could do here.. i bought a project 1970 dodge charger about 3 weeks ago and the previous owner said he installed new brake pads [drum brakes on all 4 corners] but when i push the pedal, it makes a squishy noise, goes to the floor, and just comes right back up. it is also leaking at the firewall where the pedal goes into. i'm probably thinking this guy didn't bleed the system, or the master cylinder is out. how could i tell if it's either or? and how do you bleed a drum brake system on this car? and why is it leaking in area? [only leaks when you press the pedal down] so right now, i have no brakes on the car. the e-brake doesn't work either. and my last question, me and a few others were looking at the front suspension and noticed there isn't any springs, my father owned a '69 back in the late 70's and my friend's father owned a '68 back then too, they couldn't remember if it had front springs or not, theres no cupping area for a spring?

I recently bought an automatic 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited. I think it has tranny problems. The 3rd day I had it, I was slowly backing out of a space and when I stopped to put it into drive, it made this huge bang and shudder. It's similar to when I had a bad torque converter on my last car and you had to keep gassing it until it finally caught and rocketed forward, but less dramatic. It continues to do this almost everyday at random and with varying degrees of banginess. It seems like when I am very careful shifting and acceIerating it doesn't do it as much. It happens in reverse or drive. I had it inspected by a former Chrysler tech. and he thinks it's okay. It really only happens at low speeds. And when I'm in stop and go traffic, it's like it almost trips - very hesitant sometimes, other times it drives normal. It's bipolar. I think it's the tranny, but everyone thinks I'm paranoid because of my last car's tranny fiasco! Someone said it might be my linkage, but Idk. Thanks!

the system was not completely empty and i fallowed the instructions to a T it was doing this before i recharged it and i just figured it needed freon, i know the amount of pressure in the line is accurate and were it should be the pulley spins free and the when i turn the air on the ac pump turns on for a half a turn or so and then it lets go and goes back to spinning like a pulley and wont pump

There are other brands of diesel trucks and vans who have it while others don't. If some brands of trucks and vans don't have it, then it goes without saying that it's not important. However, if it's really important how are these vehicles which don't have it are able to do away with it without doing harm to its engines.

5.2L 8 Cylinders. 4x4

Just changed the Oil sending unit and the ignition gasket.. had the air filters cleaned when I got the oil changed and they said nothing about them needing to be replaced..

Seems to be in good shape all around.. however...

When I start the car the RPM jumps straight up to 1.5 - 1.75 which it should not.. and goes back down to 1 when I placed it in drive or reverse..

I've been told loads of stuff about oxygen sensors and air and blah blah and I just don't get it..

I used this fuel cleaner stuff that I bought from Autozone (they picked it out) and it went from 7.9 MPG to 6.0!!) WHAT IS GOING ON!! Is my car beyond dead??

My car sterio was stolen last week. the thief cut sterio wires and may have cut others because my dash clock now doesn't work. Anyways, my car drove fine for a few days and now it starts okay but will not idle in Drive, Neutral or Park without my foot on the gas. I have a 1987 Honda CRX. Could the theft of my sterio be related to this problem? Ignition? Help! Thanks.

They said it starts out at 750.00 to fix it. I think thats alittle much. They said thats why my check engine light is on cuz its doing something with the fuel line. My question is: should the price be that high and is this easy to fix? please answer if u know anything about cars. please no stupid answers thanks
