The Front End of My Car Pulls Now Since I Got New Tires
Before I had my tires rotated, my car did not pull to one side or the other. But right after my last tire rotation it began to pull to the right? Is this coincidental?

I Think My Engine Blew and Head Gasket – How Do I Know For Sure?
About two weeks ago, I took my well-running vehicle in for it’s 90k service at a shop near my office, which cost a few hundred dollars. Four days later, my wife is driving the car and out of nowhere the “check gages” light comes on and the temp gage is heading up fast. She pulls over to let it cool. Luckily she is very near to an auto shop run by a friend. After waiting a while to cool it down, she tries to get the rest of the way there but it stalls out within pushing distance of the shop.
When Does my 2000 Kia Sportage Need a New Clutch?
2000 Kia Sportage 4dr, 5spd manual, 4 wheel drive. 187,000 almost totally trouble free miles – well not quite. Replaced entire front end 2nd winter on warranty due to faulty design of hub seal (only 1 lip) allowed water in and they rusted out. At about 100k replaced a front hub leaking vacuum. At about 160k replaced altenator, battery and front drive shaft u joint. Thats it. Oh, just put on a tail pipe, rest of exhaust system is still original. The problem first became evident 4 summers ago. It has become gradually worse. It happens ONLY when the engine idles for 5 – 15 minutes (varies) and happens more quickly when it is hot outside, i.e. summer and when the ac is running which obviously puts more heat into the engine compartment.
Best Alarm System for my 1998 Nissan Pathfinder
I have a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder. What kinds/types of gadgets and/or products are available to keep one from starting your ignition? I am aware of the Club (object one must place on top of the steering wheel). Is there something else available that is less visible? I want to stop my ex-boyfriend from starting my vehicle and taking it without permission. He doesn’t want to give me my spare keys back. Thank you for your attention and assistance.

1998 Nissan Pathfinder – Should I Flush The Transmission?
I have a few questions to ask you. First, I have a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder VE-V6 engine with approximately 186,000 miles. I have never had my transmission serviced. One mechanic suggested that I do not bother the transmission now since I’ve never had it serviced before. He suggested this because of the number of miles. It it not giving me any trouble. What do you suggest I do? What is necessary to maintain an automatic transmission?

Geo Metro Radiator Overflow Tank is Full of Sludge and Dirt
I was checking out the article on How Do I Flush My Radiator and I’ll tell you why – since you asked! I recently purchased a 1996 Geo Metro so I could afford to go somewhere besides back and forth to work! We had a recent spell of very hot weather here – as did the entire nation – and my engine got a little hot one day so I decided to check and see if there was enough coolant. I can’t even see the coolant in the reservoir because there is so much gunk attached to the inside of it! It’s slimy gray gunk and I want it out of there. I’m no mechanic but I’m assuming that if it’s in the reservoir, it must be all through the system. So, do you think flushing it will clean that out?
What Causes Engine Noise in my 1993 Plymouth Laser
Hi, I own a 93 Plymouth Laser and there is an annoying clicking sound which sounds like its come from inside the engine itself. The clicking sound increases as the rpm’s increase. People have told me it could be the valve (whatever that is) so could this be correct or can it be anything else?
