Posted: 19 Jul 2016 05:35 PM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160719173538AAK0I2L Or it is better to leave it with the 50:50 mixture of Dexcool coolant with water as recommended by the manufacturer's manual? My car is a Malibu 2000 with a mileage of 115,000 miles. I have had previously the intake manifold gasket replaced four times. I am suspecting that the local mechanics here in Puerto Rico do not put the adequate ratio of coolant with water as recommended by the manufacturer and that the coolant is damaging the motor gaskets with the time. The anticorrosive I am considering to use is Golden Supreme Radiator Additive. One local mechanic told me that the coolant is not necessary in the tropics and that I can leave the cooling system of my car with only distilled water and one gallon of anticorrosive to avoid corrosion within the motor and the cooling system. Is he right or is he trying to fool me? /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: How long for sitting cars tires to deflate?

Also checked the fuel "kill" switch, has not been tripped. red button is supressed ,has not been activated. Does it not have a fuel pump wiring harness? Does it have a Fuel Pump Relay Connector? I really hate to have to replace the fuel pump ( the only one that fits my truck, (has to be ordered, nothing in stock) is $200. It turns over, but does not start, so I'm thinking it's not the spark?

Posted: 19 Jul 2016 03:06 PM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160719150652AAV8GCb 2002 Fort Sport Trac, has intermittently for the past 2 years (maybe 2 times every 2 months or so) usually always after a heavy rain, the night before - it would start and then stall about 2-3 times, then run fine. In the past 6 weeks, the car after being driven 15 minutes then sitting for 1 hour, then driving once for 50 minutes, wouldn't start,(had to sit for 10 minutes, then started). The last time (Thursday, it was driven for just under 10 minutes), i stopped at a red light then it didn't start. I had to be towed home, tried to jump it for over 40 minutes, nothing. All of the last 3 times, it was clear and sunny. I checked the fuel pump fuse, it's ok. I replaced the fuel filter, there is no fuel coming from fuel lines into the fuel filter, there was some residual fuel in the line, when i changed out the filter, i'm guessing from the day before. I replaced the fuel relay as well, even though it WAS clicking, I wanted to be sure. When I advance the key, I am not hearing the sound i should be getting, when the fuel pump is "priming". I had a 95 Isuzu rodeo, with a fuel pump problem. Paid $700 to replace the fuel pump. It was replaced, but the problem was the wiring harness, which incidentally I fixed myself afterwards. /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: How long does it take to replac an oil pan gasket on a 2007 cadillace dts?

Posted: 19 Jul 2016 08:45 AM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160719084510AAAy9sy I have an 07 Focus SES. I heard that the low port is behind the passenger side wheel well liner. Is that true? How do you get the liner out? I only saw these Philips looking black plastic screws that only spun around when I tried unscrewing them. Any relative information is helpful. /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: Changing Caliper and Bracket?

Posted: 19 Jul 2016 07:55 AM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160719075506AATNANd So Ive been working on my car recently and one of my codes was a failing intake manifold gasket. I changed the gasket and sealed it back up and drove it around a little bit to make sure everything was ok about 10 miles. I get home and unplug my negative battery terminal to reset my codes so I can get it checked at autozone the next day, so I left it unplugged overnight. When I woke up I plugged the terminal up and noticed the engine had a rough idle I drove it to work and the maximum speed it went was about 20 MPH. Any help? /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: Am I in the wrong? Should I feel bad for trying to defend my husband against a woman who was hitting him? Posted: 19 Jul 2016 07:22 AM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160719072251AAaf1ah My husband paid a friend of our money to fix our car. The friend did not fix the car & instead got drunk w/his ex-wife & her sister! My husband called him to ask for his payment back, the ex-wifes sister answered the phone & used her nieces name threatening my husband stating she had the money & that she could get, "ghetto." She stated she would be down @ our house at 5PM & would bang on our door. 5PM came around & she showed up. My husband walked out to her to get the money. I waited inside and stood by the door. She started yelling at my husband & getting in his face. Mind you, my husband is a big muscled guy, he tried to step back from her. Pretty soon she started slapping him trying to punch him. Again my husband walked off. I walked outside to defend my husband by telling her sister who was driving to her & get off our property. The woman came @ me, got in my face & tried hitting me wanting to fight me. I punched her 4 times & she kept falling over. My husband stood between us as her sister smiled. I nearly kicked her butt again when my husband yelled @ me & told me to get back in the house. After everything we were inside, my husband yelled at me for the fight & left, has not returned & its morning. I thought in a marriage you support each other in tough times. I told him to let the friend sober up before saying anything to him, but he didnt listen & this drama started. I feel hurt, like my husband didnt have my back like I had his. Am I wrong for defending my husband? /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: 2002 Montero has dead auxiliary cigarette lighters at console and hatch back.

Posted: 19 Jul 2016 06:56 AM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20160719065646AA0jAaO So I went to get my oil changed and tires rotated at my honda dealer, and the guy told me my tires were wearing out from the inside edges and that I should get an alignment for $99. I said no because I thought it was too much money. How much does this usually cost? And is it something very important that I should get done? I don't know much about cars... I have a honda accord with 25K miles if that helps. /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: How can I find a repair manual for my vehicle?
