The speedometer cable on my 92 accord is not working it will bounce up and down or just stay on 0 is there an easy fix for this.

Is there a gasket under the fitting to which the oil filter attaches? I have oil leaking from that area. Thank You!

i have a question about a camaro

it has a 10 bolt rear end and i was wondering

how to fix a howl sound. now the hard part

some one put a mini spool in it and obviously

didn’t know what they were doing so what could

be wrong and how do i fix it.? plz help.

hello i have never had any problems with my 2007 mini.
it is now at 58k miles, and for about a week now, when i turn off the engine, the fan runs for about 5 minutes. 2 days ago, i noticed the engine oil temp guage went up towards 250 degrees, but no red lights or hazard lights went on. i turned on the heater to cool the engine, and cool air blew out. i cut the engine and coasted, then when i tried to restart the engine…it would not start.
it still will not start. i had it towed to a garage, and it seems to be NOT getting combustion. the fluids were fine….coolant was fine, and the oil was a little low.
BEFORE i have the head gasket replaced, is there any other option, or any safety feature on the car that kicks in to keep the engine from over heating that i should know about?
could it be something simple (read:less expensive) that could be the problem here….
the fluids were intact and full, no smoke or steam, no leakage
slight overheating coolant smell
thanks for any information…

Dies when Im driving it and wont start until a few hours. Will be ok for a few days and then does the same thing again.

My 92′ Olds with a 3.1 v-6 starts and runs fine for a few seconds, then it hesitates, misses, gets worse then dies.

I replaced :

Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump, Removed and cleaned all carbon from EGR and replaced it, separated exhaust from catalytic converter,

and installed a new Crank Position Sensor. I fired it up and same thin still happens! Is it possible timing chain/belt? (does backfire at higher rpm before stalling). Could it be a Cam sensor? or can a faulty coil pack be the culprit? how can I test and eliminate these possibilities? or is there something I may have missed?

yesterday I drove my buick just fine.  I turned on the air conditioner and drove 7 miles.  I stoped at a place bought some gas and food at the store, got in the truck to head home . i drove 2 miles and it died. I tried to start it but it wouldn’t start. Today my mechaninc fixed it and charged me $150 dollars I drove it home,  then to my daughters ball game and did fine. We left the ball game and again went 2 miles and it died. Iit was all I could do to turn it in to someones driveway but within 15min it started up so I drove fast to get home but again within 3miles it totally died. What is wrong with it?

I have a 1996 plymouth breeze that don’t start, I have replace the crankshaft sensor and still after doing that won’t start

engine misfiring on down side of rpm’s and stalls at times
