My car started run really rough about a month back and I found out that my wife didn't change the oil on the car and the dipstick was dry. I took the car in immediately and had the oil, for lack of a better word, changed. The car runs better but stick seems a little rough when idle. Is there anything I can put into the engine to help with any damage that the engine might have recieved during the time it was running dry? Thanks in advance.

I drive a 93 dodge stealth... how many o2 sensors come in that car? When I ask that question, people look at me like I'm incredibly stupid, but when I went to get mine replaced, the guy asked me which one? Is there more than one?
And, if I'm getting one of them replaced, what would be an average price for the job? What would be too high?
Any help would be great!!!

I wonder if it is true that the tyres of the car must be replaced after 4 or 5 years although they are not worn out.
I know that this is an usual recomendation from specialized companies but, at least in spain, I was not able to find any "official" document that state this recomendation. In the manual of my car do not say anything and I was nos able to find anything in car magazines

What do you think?

I;m thinking about replacing my timing belt. I looked over many step by step manuels. One manuel said to remove the spark plugs. What is the purpose of removing the spark plugs and is it necessary?

I would like to know if the Service Port Cap-Red High Side is one size fits all. I went to midas almost 2 months ago to get my ac fixed, and they said that there was a problem with my Service Port Cap. They said that they did not have the right size cap, and they needed to place an order for it. Well I do not have my car part yet and I keep getting the run around when I call them. I stopped by a car auto parts store last week and they had one of those in stock, but the cashier told me it was one size fits all.
So who is right, midas or the cashier. If midas is right, can someone please tell me what is the model number of the cap that I need to get. I have a 2000 dodge stratus se.

Bought an '02 Lincoln LS two months ago. Started overheating. Had my mechanic checked it with a scanner tool. No error codes. Nothing reported wrong with the car. Had dealer tow it to their mechanic. He said he had no idea and wanted me to pick it up. He test drove it one last time and got it to overheat. They thought it was the computer. Then changed their story and said it was a sensor malfunctioning. Dealer said it wasn't covered and that it would cost $500. Ok'd the work. Called again 2 days later and they changed their story. They said it was 2 bad ignition coil packs. Said these also weren't covered under the extended warranty i paid for which supposedly covered all parts except wear and tear stuff. They fix it without my o.k.. I call the dealer to ask why they did this and they said they never said it was a sensor. Their mech. said the same. Different problem but they are charging the same $500 fee. Sensors are covered under the warranty. Coils aren't. Am i being dicked around?

The aerator is as tight as can be and I'll even loosen it a bit, but it still leaks when the water is on. I've tried both metal and rubber or palstic type swivel aerators.

I think my car has a coolant leak. It's a 99 Monte Carlo and it was fine last winter. This summer the ac started having problems that it would blow warm air and we had it recharged and then refilled on top of that and it didn't hold. Now our heater is blowing cold air especially when you stop. We refilled the coolant once barely a week ago. What could be some of the problems? Are the AC and heat problems related?
