The headliner of my car droops down. The fabric still looks good but it just does not stick to the roof like it did before and now its only attached where the inside light is.

I own a ten year old Mitsubishi Big Screen well recently the screen has become black but I can still hear the sound. I heard it might be the projecter or some sort of coolant leak, I'm not sure. But if you know what the problem is please give directions on how to fix it or who I can call.

The battery is held down by a plastic wedge, but it isn't tied down by the long pin it used to have. I drive a late model Toyota Corolla. Where can I get a replacement pin on the cheap (w/out going to a dealer and getting ripped)?

I have a 2001 ford focus , standard transmission..
The dashboard will turn on but the engine wont run... no sound or anything.... me and my dad moved the car and he got in and did a trick and it did start that way.. So my question is... is the battery in need of a jump.. or is it the starter? i repeat there is no noise of any kind when trying to start it up... but the dashboard does light up everything. Thanks

why is it my gmc van does not start when there is humidity in the air? it doesnt NOT start everytime, but it seems that is when it happens most. most times, once it starts, it is good for the day. but the other day, i drove down to the store, and when i walked out, it was dead. what happens is, i turn the key, and all the lights and the radio come on, but when i turn the ignition to start, it does nothing. not even a crank like it wants to start. its frustrating being left at work or the grocery store. please someone help.

ps. i have two theories on the matter. starter or distributor cap.

The tires on my car are filled with Nitrogen. Lately, I've noticed one of my front tires has low tire pressure. Is it ok for me to fill it up with regular air? Do I have to go to a place that has Nitrogen?

I drove my 1994 dodge caravan through about 2 ft of water this morning and my engine just died. I tried to start it while still in water, but it did not turn over at all just acted like battery was dead. I had it towed home and now I am scared to start it in fear that I will blow my engine. The oil is clean and there doesn't seem to be any water in the oil.

Ther is something on, in my car that is draining my battery. The battery is ok had it checked. I checked all my bulbs that come on ,radio, glove, cigarette lighter, ash tray , hood light, ect. The only electrical part I had put on was my hatch back light,which they taped wires, that was around 2 months ago. But the light is not on all the time just when I apply my brake. The alternater is charging the battery when I start driving. But it does make my ABS light come on, my speedometer bounces, and my engine speed up and then slow down. after a few miles of this she back to normal.

I had to pick between trading in my car and get a car note or getting my transmission fixed and avoiding a car note. I decided to get my car fixed. It has 120,000 miles on it but runs well. My plan is to keep the car for at least a year with a warranty on the trans while saving $ for a down payment. My mother told me I should have traded it in because it costs $2000 to fix. What do u guys think?

I know it can be done, I have done it before a while back. We replaced one of the intakes and now can't get it to run. It starts but just shuts right down because the timing is off (we assume). Trying to get this running today, so any help will be useful.

Our next step is to go buy a timing light, but trying to avoid it as we probably won't need it again and hate to waste the money.

Thanks in advance.

My friend has a 98 sunfire(auto). He recently drove up a hill, and let the car roll back in drive. Within 2 secs. the car had stalled. Do car companies have a auto shutoff when cars roll backwards to quickly in drive.

My girlfriend just purchased a 2006 scion tc. She got it from Marina Mitsubishi in Webster, NY. Before buying, she asked for an autocheck (same thing as carfax) twice and got nothing. When driving the car yesterday we found reciepts in the glove box for $7000 worth of front end damage that had happened with the previous owner. Now the car drives fine and I do know a little bit about cars and I don't really see or notice anything broken but my girlfriend is upset. She feels cheated because she asked the dealer twice and got nothing and then finds out after buying the car that it was in an accident. Is there anything she can do? Again we live in NY and also bought the car in NY from a large dealer. www.marinamitsubishi.com

I have to step on the break and either go from reverse to park or just push it into park and turn the keys and the car will start. If not the car will not start at all.
