2 cars about the same size.
1 is going 10mph the other 50mph.
In general, what car has more damage?
I am guessing the slower car, cause the faster car has more inertia.

I'm looking for a little help with my car.
The vehicle in question is a '97 Fiat Punto 1.1.
While driving it, I noticed a metallic rattling noise and it dropped down to
running on 3 cylinders. It sounded like something rattling round inside one

94 toyota 4cyl 4x4 standard.  
Earlier today I took it to the store.  When I came out and tried to start
it, all I got was a very rapid click click click sound.  I've got power to
all lights and such, although the lights are looking a bit dim.

I put a 4age in a Lotus Elan (engine is now longitudinal rather than
transverse).  I have oil being blown out of the intake valve cover
under hard cornering.  I wonder if there is a better valve cover to
seperate the oil or do I have to devise an oil seperator and drain oil

Hi All: It has been suggested by another member of this NG that
reformulated gasoline may be the culprit for a sudden drop in fueL
economy.  I have talked to some of my co-workers and at least one

A friend has a 2002 Ford 150 Supercrew 2wd with 4wheel disk brakes.
He wants some help; tells me it needs the front pads replaced.

end alignment.  should the new tire purchase come before the front end alignment?

I have a 2002 Maxima SE with 225R-50/17 wheels. I am looking at buying a
set of 215/16" wheels for winter tires. They are cheaper and have better
traction on snow.  I suppose I should find the new wheel/tire
combination whose diameter is close and not larger than the original

The Blower motor quit working and I replaced it.   It still does not
work.
I then replaced the blower motor relay.  It still does not work.
I tried accessing the switch..but there seems to be no way to get to

I just inherited an old 89 Mercury Sable station wagon.Low miles,with every
option available at the time,including a silly digital dash.The illumination
has
ceased to function,so you cannot easily see the readouts.

Our '95 Maxima, 151k miles, just developed a startup problem.  When you start
it for the first time in the morning it won't idle at first--needs gas for a few seconds
(5-10), or it dies. Runs great after that.
We tried leaving the key in the "on" position for a few seconds before ...

I've got a 1988 VG-30 V6 engine.  The timing belt has a tensioner
wheel that slips onto a stud sticking out the front of the block.
The hole in the tensioner wheel that this stud fits through is
offset from the center of the wheel, allowing you to set the

Where to look? Pump?
As soon as it gets cold this thing quits shifting properly.

At the moment it's not going into any!
