I’ve been having some problems with it stalling at lights, or first turning on, or even just starting to move after a stop. My car has a total loss of power and a hesitation to accelerate. the best way it seems to keep it from stalling when I first start is to hold my foot on the accelerator at 2000rpms for a couple seconds and let it idle down. It also idles a little rough. Likely to be a vacuum leak? Ignition coil, oil sending unit, and fuel filter have been replaced. and my throttle body has been cleaned.

Ladies, would your husband or boyfriend take away your driving privileges if you failed to keep your car clean
March 10th, 2010I believe it is important that if women have their own car that they need to keep it clean. I remember one time going out with my girlfriend and she wanted me to drive her car because my a/c was broke and she didn’t want to get hot (which ofcourse was fine with me because I believe women should be protected from the elements if at all possible). Anyways, as I got in the car we were supposed to go somewhere fun but instead I drove right to the car wash to clean out her car. I told her that she didn’t need to be driving around in a dirty car. It had some fast food bags in it and some napkins, some clothes and a few other things not to mention it needed vacuuming. After throwing out the garbage, vacuuming, and cleaning the windows, I told her this is how I expect it to look from now on, or else she would be trouble. If we were engaged I would have taken away her driving priveleges but instead I just told her she would get disciplined. She gave me a kiss on my cheek and thanked me
It just goes to show that women need order, love, discipline, and cleanliness to be happy. A good man will provide that, I believe. Is your man like that?

Who else find this annoying about car carpets?
March 7th, 2010Why is it that every single car I have had the carpet is like velcro, everything sticks to it.
When you vacuum it nothing shifts, you cant clean near the handbrake.
I think they should invent car carpets that lift right out do you?
Why does the economy suck like a vacuum cleaner? I seriously would like to know.?
March 7th, 2010It really sucks. I know there are adults out there that have lost their jobs, and have families that need to pay the bills, but how are teenagers supose to pay for their future, like college, cars, and such? I’m not trying to sound selfish, but we can’t get a job anywhere. Even the movie theaters. Or Mcdonalds for that matter…
How do I get rid of ants in my car?
March 4th, 2010Last Friday I noticed ants, hundreds of them, running along the door jam and bottom of the door on the passenger side of my car. I figured in the rains a hill must have gone up under the car. I sprayed w/ant spray, let it sit for about 20 mins, then brought the car to the car wash, told them about the problem. They vacuumed, washed, etc. I thought that was the end.
This week I was seeing one or two here and there, but figured it was the more robust ones. I killed each one I saw. Today, there are hundreds again, now on the driver side. I can see them going toward the hinges of the door, but I can’t see anything there. My car is kept clean – however it looks like they’re feasting on something now. They’re not so much in the interior as the perimeter – around the doors and side mirrors.
Any clue as to how to deal with this?
btw, this isn’t caused by food – no one eats in my car. also, most of the ants aren’t in the interior, but in the door area.
How much should I pay a teenager to wash my car?

Help! Spiders of varying sizes are all over my car (exterior and interior)?
March 2nd, 2010Hey everyone, I have been a long time reader and a first time contributor.
Anyway, recently I have noticed that my car has begun to increase in the number of spider in/on it. The spiders are white, and clear-ish, the term albino spider has come up, but I am not entirely sure. I live in Toronto.
At first they were two, one big one small, outside and inside my car. Now they are increasing in number, running up to 5 at a time. They have been usually only coming out at night. I have been constantly killing them.
On the 3rd day of the spider appearances, I have done an interior cleaning of the car (vacuum, taking everything out, running the HVAC system at full, and opening the hood and checking the engine for egg sacs with a flash light). I found nothing and right when it became dark outside, 5 of them came out from cracks I have already cleaned.
I always park in a condominium garage but there has been spider activity around a light near my parking spot. I have called management and they told me they took care of it. One guess is that they have come into my car from the parking spot area, but the superintendent dismissed the idea.
I have not used the car in 4 days, but I came down to check my spot today (7 days total since this all began). Yes, the spider webbing and etc around my parking spot has been cleaned. BUT, when I came to the car itself, it has only become worse. With one quick glance I counted 4 spiders and one egg sac in my side mirror. Note that I came down at 6pm this time, and not at night!
What I’m trying to ask is if anyone knows of what is happening to my car (could it be a possible nesting of spiders) and if there are any solutions that you can suggest? The term fogger has come up, but I am not sure where to buy it. I have been to a local Wal-Mart, but they didn’t have it. If you have any information on foggers and its effectiveness in the car, please let me know! I don’t want to call an exterminator just yet because they are expensive and I want to try and fix this problem with as little money as possible.
Thank you very much for your time! I’m looking forward to your answers!
hey! thanks for all the help, I’m going to give them both a try and I’ll report back.

February 28th, 2010A young man has moved into his own apartment. His possessions include a canister vacuum cleaner marked 535 W at 138 V and a Volkswagen Beetle, which he wishes to clean. He must leave the car in a parking lot far from the building, so he needs an extension cord 15.0 m long to plug in the vacuum cleaner. You may assume that the vacuum cleaner has constant resistance.
(a) If the resistance of each of the two conductors in an inexpensive cord is 0.900 ohm , what is the actual power delivered to the vacuum cleaner?
———— W
(b) If instead the power is to be at least 525 W,what must be the diameter of each of two identical copper conductors in the cord he buys?
———— mm or more.
(c) Repeat part (b) if the power is to be at least 532 W. (Suggestion: A symbolic solution can simplify the calculations.)
———— mm or more.
How much should I charge for car washes?
February 28th, 2010I’m 13 and I’m saving up money.

By the way, they make their own package. So, how much for each little part.

Can I use this on my car?
February 25th, 2010Is it ok to use laundry detergent mixed with water to clean it?
I dont really have anything specifically made for cars to clean with.
I have a vacuum for the interior, but what would be good to clean the dashboard etc?
Is it really necessary to wax the car also?
will it have any effect on an older car vs. a newer one?
My car is infested with chinch bugs, how do I get rid of these?
February 25th, 2010My car is infested with chinch bugs. I took one to the local ag department who identified it immediately and said they are harmless except for being a nuisence. They said they would die off in the winter. That was last year. I cleaned and vacuumed as many as I could find and used a citrus cleaner to kill them. It was the only thing that seemed to kill them right away. I used a couple pesticides but when you sprayed them, they would keep crawling along. I thought I had gotten rid of them but this spring they were back on the first warm day. I thought of using a fogger but the instructions on most say to cover or remove upholsterd furniture before using. Since I cant really cover or remove the car seats, I need a better option. Any ideas? Thanks.

How can I get the smell of smoke out from my car?
February 23rd, 2010I lent my car to my relative and in return they tried to cover up the smell of smoke with a flowery bathroom spray. I’ve cleaned the car top to bottom and vacuumed everything. But the inside of the car and the fabric car seats still reek of cigarettes and the spray. Is there anything else I can do to get the smell out, that would also be inexpensive?
what are people buying with their points from ya?
February 23rd, 2010im saving for a car vacuum cleaner lol.
Do they make any sort of air filters for car interiors?
February 23rd, 2010I bought a brand new car about 2 months ago and try to keep it as clean as possible, however no matter what I do, the interior gets a ton of dust and hair all over the fabric and vinyl just days after I vacuum and clean it. Do they make mini air filters for cars to prevent this or prolong it from getting dirt so quickly?
My husbands car smells like Mildew! It's so gross. His clothes stink from just being in the car.?
February 22nd, 2010My husband bought a used car back in December & the car didn’t have any odors except smoke. Summer rolled along and now the car stinks, bad. He keeps his car clean and I even detailed it for Fathers day. I scrubbed the carpets & seats with a carpet cleaner, vacuumed every nook & cranny in the car it was a very detailed job that I did seriously professionally done I spent hours on it. I cleaned the interior immaculately as well as outer. I thought after such a thorough job that the stench would be out but now with the heat its worse. I refuse to get in that car to go anywhere. I always want to take mine but when he takes his drives to anywhere and gets out his clothes smell!!! I can’t take the odor of mildew. I ask him to strip off his clothes and shower up each time he steps back in the house. I know his co-workers have to smell it too and I don’t want them to think that he has poor hygiene. It’s almost like that Seinfeld episode of when Jerry bought the car that smelled like B.O…LOL
I met a nice looking house wife at the Oreck Vacuum Cleaner shop. She and I had coffee together. Is it cheatin
February 20th, 2010We had nice chat in the Oreck store. I was giving her tips on how to restore and polish her marble floors. I am married, she is married but we hit it off. There was energy between us. She asked me if I wanted to join her for coffee next door which I obliged. We chatted for two hours in the coffee shop and I had an erection about mid way through. Her beautiful eyes were gleaming at me. Here is the kicker. We have been IM’ng with each other daily ever since and have a date this Saturday afternoon. I know where this is going and I don’t want to stop it. I am into this woman and she is into me.
What would you do?
Back to my original question, is it cheating for me to have sat with her for two hours in the coffee shop then hug and kissed her in her car when she left?
Have any of been through something this powerful and were you strong enough to walk away. I am sorry but I am not strong enough because my intense desires are way stronger than my sound mind.
