Blown Head Gasket Sealer Additive
I saw your answer to someone below after searching for a good block sealer: “If they DO suspect a blown head gasket or cracked block you might want to try a can of KW Engine Block Seal additive you can buy at your local auto supply. Drain out the coolant, add the can of additive to your radiator and drive the car for about 500 miles, then drain out the water/additive and install the proper mix of coolant and water to the radiator.

Car Engine Hard To Start – Dies at Idle Sometime
About 6 months ago I went to Jiffylube for a routine oil change. This was my 1st experience with Jiffy. They said I should really put synthetic and I said ok. As soon as they finished it, when I started driving it, the engine started stopping almost every time I stop in a signal or put it in neutral. I took it back to them and the guy there swore their work had nothing to do with it. They said they’ll do the oil change free a second time just in case and they did it. I don’t know what all they did because in that shop they don’t let customers watch the work. Anyway, this time, the car didn’t stop in every signal but less ofter.
How To Check Fuel Pressure
I have a 1994 Chevy S10 Blazer and after a trip i arrived back home and casually turned it off. When i tried to turn it back on, it turned but there was no response. I then went to a next door neighbor who is a mechanic and he said the biggest problem would be the fuel pump. He hit it once with a hammer and on cranking the car it started. So we deemed the problem to be the fuel pump. I replaced the fuel pump myself and it now turns on when the key is on the ON position and the fuel lines are pumping fuel. (I checked it on the engine.) But after i replaced the fuel pump and checked that it was pumping fuel i tried to start the car and it gave the same response. So it turns over but just won’t start. I have since checked the spark plugs and they seemed to produce spark. (I checked them by opening the wire connecting to the spark plug sticking a screwdriver inside and touching the metal part to a “ground” like the top of the engine, and it produced sparks) So what could be the problem now? What could cause the engine to not start after the fuel pump has been replaced and the spark plugs checked?
Front End Pulls After Tire Rotation

How To Stop an Engine Oil Leak in My Car
I own a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan with a 3.3L engine. This spring my wife was complaining that the motor was ticking. I figured that it was the lifters so I called my mechanic and set up an apointment. He called me later and told me the car was about 2 1/2 quarts low on oil and that I had 2500 miles since my last oil change. He asked the change the oil to see if that would help. He changed oil and the ticking went away.
