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.

2001 Chevrolet Express Cargo Van G1500

I have a 2001 Chevy Express van G1500, V8-350 5.7L with 132270 miles on it. Due to my neglect, I have run it with very little oil twice. I now know that I am using about 1 quart per thousand miles.

1992 Mercury Topaz – Engine Shakes and Makes Noise

When I start up my 1992 Mercury Topaz, it starts to shake and makes a loud noise. I was told that it might need a tune up or exhaust system, or it could be the shocks. I wanted to check with you first before I did anything. Could you tell me what might be wrong with it?

1985 Honda Accord SE-i – Engine Stalls and Dies

My girlfriend has a 1985 Honda Accord SE-I, which stalls and dies whenever you put a load on the car. It started after she accidentally knocked a spark plug wire loose when checking the oil. I have replaced the cap, rotor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and fuel filter. However, this problem is still the same whenever it is driven for very long. Do you have any suggestions?
