2000 Oldsmobile Alero Engine Dies While Driving

HELP!!! I have a 2000′ Alero and I just paid it off!! ANd here I am!! It has 133000 miles on it and I have been having a problem with it dying while I’m driving it!! I have changed the fuel filter and spark plugs. I still continue to have a hesitation and every now and then it just SHUTS DOWN!! I wait a few minutes and it starts up and is fine for a few days. I have been told that it could possibly be the coil cover and boots. (one of the boots is cracked) Would this cause me to be “stranded”?FED UP, but PAID OFF in ILLINOIS

Dodge Dakota Dies While Driving and Hard To Restart

I have a 97 two wheel drive Dodge Dakota. I trust my mechanic entirely. So much because they turned me a way because they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it and didn’t wan to just start replacing parts. They even waived the $80 diagnostic fee because they couldn’t find the issue. So here are the symptoms.

Honda Accord Check Engine Light and EGR Valve Code

I have a 1999 Honda Accord and the check engine light seems to not want to stay off. I have taken it to the mechanics and the code that comes up is the code stating the EGR valve is bad. This would all be fine if the solution was simply replace the valve, but after replacing the EGR valve the light still comes on after several miles of driving. The weirdest thing is that all summer the light was not on, and since September the light has been on. The code is always the same, so now I am wondering if black electrical tape is the solution or could there be some other meaning to a bad EGR valve code. The engine sounds fine and the car doesn’t seem to drive any different than it did before the light came on. Any suggestions other than ripping the dash apart and removing the light is greatly appreciated.

2007 Audi A3 Front Brakes Are Very Noisy

I just purchased a brand new 2007 Audi A3 2.0T. The brakes squeak – noticeably – when coming to a full stop. They have done this from the first day I got the car and do so especially when going down a hill and coming to a stop. The service manager at Audi tells me this is normal. I believe that I am being played as the loaner cars that I have had ( same model) do not do this. Nor is this a problem that has been raised in any of the Audi forums. I would appreciate any advice you might offer. If it is a problem then how best can I approach the service manager.
