My car's spark plugs' electrode have all turned reddish in colour. My engine shows sign of "jerk" in low RPM, or while idling. What exactly has happened to my spark plugs? What are the possible causes of this?

whats that thing called, it's like a combination of remote start and push to start. You have the regular push to start button but it only starts if you have the remote inside the car because that is more safe. If anyone knows what this is called or how much it cost it would be appreciated.

ok i have a 1999 Subaru outback. i think the engine has a head gasket leak.(the engine heats up and doesn't cool down! not until i raise the rpm to about 4 thousand rpm.) I have a few different choices. first, rebuild the engine. that way i know everything would be correct. The other thing is that i can buy a used one out of a wrecked car and replace the engine with the 2.2 litter engine. right now the engine is the 2.5 non-turbo. Any suggestions? Any experiences? I have about a week. I need some help anything? Please HELP!

Hi
I have a Honda 1993 Vigor, the warning light directly under the oil warning light is on. It looks a bit like an engine with the word "check" . Can anyone tell me what it means? Thanks

I have a 1999 Mercury Sable, sometimes when I break the steering wheel starts vibrating until the car stops. What is wrong with my car? How much could they charge me to fix this?

I have on several occasions applyed the parking brake on my truck and forgot it was on. Later when I would come back to my vehicle and would leave and the parking brake would still be on. Sometimes I notice that its on right after I start driving other times I may not notice until after driving several miles.

Now when I apply my parking brake the parking brake light doesn't come on. Why will the light not come on? How can I fix it so the light will come on? Also how do I fix my parking brake so my vehicle won't move when it is on?

I am looking to begin searching out and building my dream car.
I am not sure if I can fit a 454 Big Block into a 70 chevelle. I can right?
If I can, what advantages will the Big Block give me over the small block (454)
Any additional information on what you guys think I can do with a 70 chevelle I will gladely accept.
I want to make it an awesome power car. I am not interested in it being a sleeper.
Thanks In Advance

I have a flat tire on the passenger side of my car. I went to get a new tire and I was told that no decent mechanic would sell me one tire for my jeep grand cherokee 'cause it would mess up my transfer case. I was told I had to buy four brand new tires if I didn't want any damage to my car. I went to two different places and got the same answer; Something about the difference in tread wear. I didn't buy anything 'cause I wasn't sure. It's my first car and I am just learning about car care. Anyone know if this is true?

I have changed the thermo, water pump, disconnected hoses and blew air thru the engine. I even disconnected the heater hose right at the water pump and started the engine and nothing, no water coming out of water pump. Still only cool air coming from blowers in truck. The water pump is working. I think there is a plugged journal or something somewhere so that it can get the proper flow. I am not a mechanical engineer.
