I have a 2001 Mazda 626. When I start my car, it makes a hissing sound and in my trunk on the right side, there is water inside the side pocket. Also, the air conditioning vents inside my car have been spewing out black fuzzy pieces of something. What is this?
My 2002 Toyota Corolla 121 car was parked for about 8 months. Just kept, I started to use it. There is a problem with the engine oil. Oil, which was in the engine, has got curdled. I changed it but no use. I am in Sri Lanka. We do not have good mechanics to do this. Please help me. I used the Flush also; still there are some thick pieces. How do I get rid of this?
My 1994 LeBaron GTC was running fine and has sat for a few months. Now it will start and rev up to about 5,000 RPM but dies out right away I cannot get it to idle at all or continue running.
I have been told that a new fuel pump for a 1997 Chevy Cavalier is going to cost me at least $300, because of the special assembly. I know that fuel pumps are usually $40-$60. Can you offer me an alternative to such a costly part?
I have a 1996 Honda Prelude, 2.3L engine, and I just had the timing belt replaced, but now my cruise control is not working. It was working before I took it to the shop, I am wondering if it is just a coincidence, or if the timing belt had something to do with it.
I have 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT Non-Turbo with 140,000 miles. After replacing the timing belt and tensioner, I notice there was a leak that seems to come from my water pump, which was not there before. Therefore, I just bought a new gasket for the water pump, thinking that it is just that since I bought a new pump just a year before.
I have a 1991 Buick Regal. I have replaced the fuel pump 5 times in last 6 months, the last being 6 days ago. My car is now in shop again. They tell me that fuel pump is bad again. How can this be? What could be tearing it up?
My 1998 Nissan Pathfinder has approximately 195,000 miles. I just had my timing and drive belts (original) replaced as a preventive measure. Now, my “check engine soon” light has appeared on my dash. I was told that it was a possible oxygen sensor problem and or a fuel pressure regulator problem(s). What do you suggest?
I just had the upper and lower intake gaskets replaced, water pump and thermostat replaced, which cost me around $900. The problem is after having the car for 2 days, I noticed a slight click (not very obvious, but not present before repairs). After driving maybe 50 miles, the car cuts off while driving. I check oil and it looks dirty. Car will crank but after about a minute cuts off. Something seems fishy. What could be the explanation?
Do you have a favorite recommendation for auto insurance in Sacramento CA? I’m living on a fixed income and my car repair bills are eating me alive, figured I would take your advice and lower my auto insurance rates to help offset this expense since I can not afford a new car at the moment.
