I’m helping my father in law work on his 1999 Windstar (yikes). When it heats up a bit, a rattling sound will start up in the motor. It sounds like it’s coming from the water pump or the air conditioning (which doesn’t work). Any Ideas?
I am having an a/c problem. I have a 2001 Cheve 2500 HD, extended cab truck with a 6.0 v8 and auto trans. The problem is that the a/c seems to cycle. It will start blowing cool air and run fine for awhile, then the cool air will stop. shortly the cool air will start again. The fan works fine, just the cool air stops.
My car has been stuttering a lot when I drive it. It’s a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix Se, and it’s leaking oil, I’ve already gone through a gallon of oil in the past 2 days. When I look under the car, its soaked in oil and I can see it dripping out.
I have a 2000 Lincoln Continental with 105,000 miles. I’ve always “babied” it. Over the last few weeks, there was a soft “whirring” sound as I would accelerate over 2000 rpm no big deal, no change in performance. But then in a road trip to Chicago from St. Louis, the transmission seemed to be hunting for the right gear at speeds of 40-50 mph.

I am considering purchasing a salvage transmission for my son’s old Chrysler Lebaron. I want to know approximately what to expect to be charged for installation (either $ or approximate labor hours). He is a student – has little money – and I would like to help him but can only go so far, you know?
I just recently bought a 2002 Saturn SL2 with 65k miles and automatic transmission. While test driving it, I changed gears numerous times to see if it slammed into any gears or hesitated. It never did it. I drove the car to work for 2 days (32 miles each way) and now it’s started randomly hesitating before going into reverse. I’ve tried it from Park to Reverse, Neutral to Reverse, Drive to Reverse, with the Emergency Brake up in Park to Reverse and it really does it like 1 out of every 3 or 4 times. I’ve replaced the air filter and windshield wipers because they were disgusting and I planned on doing an oil change and checking the spark plugs/wires this weekend because I don’t know the last time they were done but like most people, I’m getting worried that I might have a transmission problem.

Hi. I just saw your website and I really hope you can help. Sorry if I’m wasting your time. I have a 1969 Chevy Impala. Had around 150,000 when I bought it. It blows out gray or white smoke when i hit the gas not sure if I’m at a standstill. Not a little smoke but not a lot. enough though that everyone notices it. Car dies at lights when I try to go mainly if the engine is cold once its hot no stalling or lagging whatsoever. One of my friends said it might be the piston rings. I have no idea. Thanks.
