How can you tell if your car is misfiring?
HiOpinions on the best online tool store? (automotive especially)?
It sounds like you may have a faulty coolant temperature sensor. I think these engines have two, one for the gauge which is on the coolant elbow which houses the thermostat and which I think has a blue plug, and one which I think may be on the intake manifold and I think has a white plug.
Is anyone familiar with a'stale' air smell in the air vents of their car?
The easy way to find out is to measure the input voltage. The gauge sensor will have a 12 volt input whilst cold and the ECU sensor will only have about 4.5 to 5 volts whilst cold.
what is overdrive in automatic transmission?
It is the ECU sensor you are looking for and I am almost sure it is the one on the intake manifold with the white plug.
does a ford transmission go out after only 1000,000miles?
The ZETECS also had a problem with the spark plugs earthing out on the cylinder head, and the fix was new plugs and leads and a coating of silicone spray on the leads.

What hardner to use with alkyd/oil enamel?
Uh, get a REAL car. But in the meantime, let it warm up for 5 or ten minutes before you leave your driveway your parking space.Does steam cleaning a car engine damage it?
Carb icing?I had a Nova SRi that did the same thing, but only after I'd fitted an after market air filter. I had to attach a hose from exhaust manifold to bottom of carb to direct warm air there to stop icing.
Get it to a garage. It sounds like it might just need a tune up, you know spark plugs, fuel filter,plug wires,or whatever.
