I drive a Chevy Malibu and my friend has a Chevy S-10 (small pick up truck) he has winter tires that i want to buy. I checked the size of the tires and it does fit to my Malibu. He said, check with rims too if that would fit to your Malibu you can get them too. Are the rim sizes differ from tire size? Tires are attached to rims, and if the tires will fit to my car shouldn't the wheels that go along with it too?

We just had a major Ice & snow storm here in Iowa. My 2004 Chevy Impala got stuck in the snow. I had to gun it to get it un-stuck. I drove it about 15 miles. It ran fine. I stopped at the store and let it run for over an hour while I was inside. Then I drove it about 1/2 mile up the road and it died. The battery is strong. It still turns over. It acts as if it's out of gas. It has 1/4 tank of gas in it and has always ran like crap when it only had 1/4 tank of gas. One person tells me I may have flooded it while getting it un-stuck from the snow. One person tells me It sounds like the fuel pump took a dump because he could'nt "hear it" when starting the car. Any suggestions? Facts about this car: 2004 Chevy Impala, 160,000 miles.
Ex-police car. Just had fuel filter changed and vapor cylinoide changed.

I just gotta ask this question. Doesnt it drive you nuts when people tell you to get a new car instead of fixing that beater you drive? I drive a 1993 GMC Safari minivan with over 212,000 miles that i owned since 2002. Recently the fuel pump quit, and i just had it replaced for $520.00. Before this happened the van always ran great, and i never had to add any oil before 3,000 miles. I had to get it fixed. I hated being without a vehicle, and it was too snowy to work on cars outside. When the people at work questioned me about the repair bill they told me i should of dumped the van, and bought a different vehicle. I think every vehicle has its pricey repairs no matter how old it is. My mom just spent over $350.00 fixing her brakes on her 2002 Dodge! As far as myself i am a conservative person who saves his money, and does not like a car payment.

There are high heel marks on the dash board of my car. The damage is purely superficial and in some ways it might be considered to be decorative. On the other hand I want to sell the motor now and I'd prefer to have them removed rather than explain them to the new owner..

Its a Mazda626.

Hi I was wondering whats the purpose of an air cleaner and does it increase power? Also does it usually require hood modifications?

P.S - I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT AN AIR FILTER. I AM TALKING ABOUT THE AIR CLEANERS YOU SEE ON TOP OF AN ENGINE THAT STICK OUT

HERE IS A PICTURE OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT -

I have an Explorer that shuts off while I am driving sometimes. When this happens, the electric stays on but the engine is off. I have to try to pull over, put the car in park and start it again. It starts back up with no problem. I just put a new battery in it last month. This happened three random times and I'm scared because I drive on the express way everyday to work. Any idea what it could be would be appreciated. Thanks

i took my car to a mechanic for him to find out what was wrong with. he went and fixed my car.?
i did not give him permission to fix it but he did it anyway. i then called my uncle who is a mechanic and lives in a different state. i explained what was wrong with my car and what the mechanic had said needed fixed. my uncle said something totally opposite and also cost alot less. is this guy trying to get money out of me. would it be a crime if i just take my car and not pay him since i didnt agree to nothing and signed nothing?
