car will start and run until it warms up then it boggs and dies when you acclerate.It died going 65 mph as well. The check engine light only came on when I removed the oxygen sensor then put it back in. So I had the car tested at parts store. They said it was the throttle position sensor. On the way home the light went out. The next day I replaced the sensor and it didnt work. What do I do next?

Normally when the car is turned off the radio will stay on until you open the door.  Now the radio and the clock in the dash will never turn off.  The door switch is good.  Any ideas?

I was getting onto the interstate in my 96 v6 Mustang and pressed the excelleration to get in front of some traffic and the rpm’s was up to abut 4.  I had the heater on level 3 of 4 and when I accelerated the heat went from warm to completly cool.  I drove going 75 mph on cruise and the air was still cold and then I noticed my guage go from cold to medium, then I saw it going up to hot and I have never seen it do that.  I slowed down to about 60 and was driving for another mile and it stayed on hot.  Then I turned off the heat and the temp guage immediatley dropped back down.  I drove for a few miles without the heater on and then turned it back on and when I turned the heater back on it was working fine again.
   This has never happened before and I assume something needs to be done.  I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg taking it to a mechanic if it is something simple the car may need. 
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks!

I have VX V6 with what appears to be a leaking core plug between the transmission and motor. How many core plugs are there and what sealant is best recommended when fitting new core plugs? Also need to find out torque settings on flywheel bolts and if loctite is necessary on these bolts. Any advice is good. Nothing worse than having to do a job twice. Look forward to hearing back!!

• I tried to charge a spare 12 volt car battery by connecting it to the accessory lighter socket outlet in my 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager.  What kind of , damage could I have done?  Is there a link to the electric schematic for this vehicle?   Thanks and God bless.
• My instrument cluster guages stopped working while I was driving.  No speedo, fuel, temp, rpm, gear shift, odometer.  All just stopped!  How can I find the problem?  More God bless.
• Also the carpet under the rubber floor mat on the drivers side is quite wet.  Is this a common problem and where could the water be coming from?   Again, Thanks and God bless.

I have 1990 olds cutlass supreme that has been having idling problems. It won’t idle at all now, once the engine get warm. It is a 3.1 engine. Do you think it could be a sensor problem?
