1997 BMW 328i

I am about to buy a 1997 BMW 328i. I took it for a test drive but when I turned the engine off afterwards I noticed grayish smoke still seeping out of the exhaust. I have been told that this may relate to a cylinder fault. Is this right?

1999 Ford Explorer XLS 6Cyl

My 1999 Ford Explorer XL 6 cylinder is having an electrical problem that appears to be killing my alternator. About a year ago, I had to replace a 175-amp fuse that is inline with my battery and alternator. Everything has been fine until recently, when I got in my truck one night and noticed my dash lights going dim and my battery indicator was lit.

1994 Honda Civic CX

I have a 1994 Honda Civic CX that I purchased about 3 months ago. Recently, I have been having a problem starting the car. This only seems to happen when there is moisture in the air or a dramatic temperature change example: -5 Celsius – +7 Celsius). The car turns over and starts for a split second than dies.

1998 Chevrolet Malibu

I am looking at buying a 1998 Chevrolet Malibu w/4 cylinder engine. Owner fairly recently had starter changed. Since then it has a problem that the engine dies, randomly, but regularly, when slowing to a stop. Does not die when accelerating or at a maintained higher speed…only when down shifting and preparing to come to a stop.

I have a 92 Nissan Maxima GXE Automatic. It is no aftermarket or anything with keyless entry, no remote. Everything was working fine. It has run only 69k.
