Just replaced water pump, thermostat, and radiator cap 2 months ago. Since it has gotten colder, engine temp will not get up to operating temp, making my heater blow lukewarm air. If it is warmer outside, engine warms up fine and heater blows hot. Used Stant 195 degree t-stat. Any suggestions??

My 1998 Altima gets bad MPG, around 18-20. Also its pretty slow to accelerate at first. I put about 1/3 ounce of Acetone for 3 gallons of gas yesterday night. I know it doesn't make the MPG better, and its bad, but I heard it helps with clogged fuel injectors. I am not even sure if my car uses a fuel injector, but anyways, after putting in the Acetone within 15 minutes, I noticed acceleration got a little better, but no difference in the MPG. How do I know if the fuel injector is clogged up, how do I clean it myself for the cheapest price, without using more Acetone? Also when I drive the gas indicator is wacked. When I make a right turn, my gas indicator goes from half to quarter, and a left turn makes it go from half to 3 quarters, assuming my tank is half full, so its hard gauge how much gas I have. Even driving on a slightly curved highway, the indicator goes up and down according to how I am curving, constantly, and is VERY annoying, what do you think could be wrong with this.

It is like stuck solid, i have to wait a few and pulll way hard to get it to move.

Sorry...this may be long!!
I ran over a chunk of wood in my 06 VW Bug, i dented the skid plate (which has already been hammered back out) and I dented my Transmission pan. I took my car to 5 different places to get opinions. Every shop said I need my transmission pan either reshaped (by again, hammered back out) and a new gasket. So I took my car to a shop Monday evening, the shop promised my car to be ready by 1:00pm on Tuesday. I called the shop Tuesday 3 different times to check on my car. They said 2 times it will absolutely be ready by the time I get off work. I called again at 3:00 and the guy told me my car was ready, they were putting the skid plate back on and I would be ready to go. So at 5pm, after work my dad called to make sure they would still be there to pick my carup and they tell him they couldn't figure out how to put the transmission fluid back into my car, said they would be calling the VW Dealer in the morning (Wed. morning) and find out how to put it in..........

Any ideas what could be the problem/solution? also is it safe to use the car with the live i have run to the pump? if not why not? thanks in advance the subaru has been great up until now!

My car might be a goner. It's 97 Grand Prix with a 155,000 miles on it.

When i was driving down the road, I noticed the car at times made a high pitch screeching noise. I pulled it into my garage and noticed a burning smell. Now the car won't move at all and makes and still makes a high pitch screeching noise.

My car is old. This year it failed the emissions test. I took it to the shop, and they said nothing is wrong with the car. They said to drive it around for a while to clear out the engine, and then it should test okay. Does this make sense? If so, how long should I drive it around before going in? I am confused.
