Maintenance & Repairs - October 2007

I recently put a low milage 93 toyota engine into a 90 toyota. The trans match for the year difference, but ever since then fifth gear keeps poping out while im diving. What do you think the problem is? is the new engine just coinsidence?

Or does it just use their amps to start ur car. I was wondering if I kept my car off and let the other car charge my battery would it work? Or does it just act as a second battery?

Why is deisel priced so high when it is less refined than other fuels? Before prices got out of control a year or two ago it was the cheapest of the fuel options. It doesn't make sense that it cost less to get it to the pump but ends up being the most costly.

When it gets warmed up it slips and won't shift.
This started a week after I was driving down the freeway and my car slipped into nutral while in motion; then I put it back in drive. I was told this would not cause damage.

So what's wrong with my transmission?
It's a 93 Plymouth Colt Vista

I have a sudden moldy smell in my car. It just appeared one day when I opened the door. I have no wet carpet in my car, and we've cleaned out all items in the car as well. The smell is still very pungent and I'm wondering what other things may be the culprit. Is it possible that the air filter or cabin filter could be moldy and causing this smell? Anyone else ever had this problem?

My highbeams stay on all the time, even when the truck is turned off, and the key is removed. After talking to a mechanic at a Jeep dealership, he said to remove the daytime running lights module and put it back in. After doing this, it doesnt work, the lights still come on! I don't want to have to keep removing my battery cable when i leave the truck, what can i do!

My S.E.S light turned on so I took my car (02 Eclipse) to a mechanic who said it was the O2 sensor (before the cat) causing the problem and said it needs to be replaced. My brother then took it to a friend who hooked it up to a computer and said it was the exhaust sensor...are these 2 things the same? Also what do they actually do? Is it ok to drive my car with this being bad?

Lastly the mechanic said it is fairly easy to switch out on your own, is this true? thx for the help.

I am going thru tires on my 2005 CTS way too. At 32,000 miles, I am about to the end of life on my 2nd set. I have rotated them religiously, at 5000 mile (or less) intervals. My tire dealer says the way the car is "set up" it scrubs the tires, my Caddy dealer, while not refuting that, says there is nothing they can do, faulty design. Anyone else having an issue with this? Anybody challenged Gen Motors with any success?

Year 2000 BMW 323i...
When the engine first starts, it runs fine. After a short while, the PCM will shut down a (seemingly) random fuel injector because it has sensed a misfire.
It never seems to shut down the same cylinder twice in a row.
Cam sensor?
Crankshaft sensor?
Nobody seems to know what is going on with this car...
Can someone out there steer me in the right direction?

If you have a low battery, or battery that needs to be recharged frequently....does your battery recharge itself while you are driving after you have received a boost?
