I have a 1994 Toyota Celica and the engine seems to get EXTREMELY hot!! Hotter than both of my other cars which include a 2002 grand cherokee and a 2005 Rav4. When I replaced the intake manifold gasket I could see a grayish sludge in the head where the coolant flows. The car does not overheat though. Could this sludge be limiting coolant flow? Will this flush out if hooked up to a flush machine at a local lube shop? Thanks for any help.

Here in England you cannot open your front door with finding another Polish car washing business setting up. Honestly all the petrol stations are closing down and being replaced by Polish car washes. How come they are so expert at car washing? I thought all the cars in Poland were Trabants made out of egg white and papier mache. Wash one of those and you end up with a two stroke cardboard omelette. This European Union thing throws up all sorts of surprises. I wonder whats next, an influx of Lithuanian letterbox polishers perhaps. Maybe a flood of the Albanian ex patriot sock repair technicians setting up shop in supermarket car parks offering to repair your socks while you shop.

Does the odometer keep recording miles or does it start all over?
example: if its rebuilt at 200k miles will it read 210k miles or 10k miles after adding 10k miles to the engine?

I want a good wax that I can use by hand that will give my Nissan Sentra (black) a good shine. Something that will last for a few months, and isn't too expensive. Also, some instruction on how to do it would be helpful, as this is my first time doing it on my own. Any suggestions would be very helpful, and I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I am just curious as to how "new" this will make my Toyota V6 3.0 engine. It currently has around 160,000 miles on it. Will it make it last a lot longer now? (Obviously it would if it had gone bad, but I am asking if by putting a new one on there, if it would make the engine a lot "newer" now or not)

why?

My car needs to change transmission and the mechanic in the car dealership said it would be a re-manufactured transmission (factory-rebuild). My car is a new Toyota still under warranty. The mechanic said it should be as good as a brand new transmission because all components inside the transmission are new and made in Toyota factory and only the frame (the box) is reused transmission box. Can anyone advise me if it is true and what is the difference between the re-manufactured and other re-build (for the old car) transmission? How am I sure that the right transmission is installed? Thanks so much for your professional advises.

I have a two stroke Victa strimmer that was running , albeit quite poorly, but cut out and will not start now. There is a good strong blue spark, compression of about 45 - 50 psi, i am using a fresh fuel /oil mix. When i removed the air filter i noticed that the fuel mix was being blown out of the carb inlet when i pulled the cord. I removed the carb and when looking through the inlet port i can see the piston but at no time during its cycle does it uncover the inlet port. So how can the fuel mix get into the cylinder? Any help or advice would be welcomed.

The neg terminal is getting a strange blue corrosion on it. What could be causing this? Thank you!

Also, replaced spark plugs 6 months ago. This problem slowly started around 6 months ago after an oil and air filter change.

I have a 2003 Chevy Impala that is having problems starting. It is not the battery or the starter, I don't think. I believe it is a problem with the computer and a security lock out. In the past, when the car wouldn't start, if I would let it sit for 15 minutes it would then start. Last week the resting period didn't work anymore, but when my husband switched it from park to neutral it started. All of this ties in with the manual and a security lockout. However, since it isn't starting easily, I don't want to get it to a repair shop that can't fix it and have to have it towed away. Our local Chevy dealership is not trustworthy, so I don't want to take it there. Any suggestions on where else to try?

When I first got my car everything worked fine, until here recently I went to turn on my a/c and it didnt work, so I turned it to the heat and it didnt work either. The blower only worked when I turned the dial to 4. I dont think It would be my switch b/c if you have the windows down and the radio off you can hear the engine and everthing under the hood turn on, it's just that the blower wont turn on. So can someone please help me because It's too hot to even have ur windows down, and I really would love to have a/c in my car.
