Q:AT NIGHT I PUT ON THE LIGHTS AND THE REAR 1S DONT COME ON BUT WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES OR TURN SIGNAL THEY DO WAT COULD IT BE

The two least expensive things to check first Fuse Bulbs

Q:Why do they say that it is not cost effective while other countries have successfuly implemented those rail systems? Are those countries actually losing money on them?

Effectuve, reliable efficient passenger rail systems must be continually subsidized by the government, otherwise it is not affordable. It is somethign that pays for itself in many other ways, less crowding on the highways, safer, cleaner transportation. Not everyone would ride, and they shouldnt be expected to. In Europe there are a great many people that choose not to own personal automboiles, not because they cant, but they dont want to and the public transportation system is good enough they can make that choice. Ridership in recent years is up in every sector of Amtrak, proving beyond doubt that many more people would ride if they had the option. We need elected officials that are forward thinking beyond their next election cycle and look to the future of the country and the world and make the decision to fund passenger rail systems at a sustainable and ongoing level.

Q:My spark plugs and wiring and tubing on my car cylinder (99 Plymouth neon) were drenched in oil. The problem got fixed. or so I thought. The people at advanced read it on their machine before it got repaired and said cylinder 2 misfired. When driving it it surge and kinda hesitate when accelerating. Check engine light came on and off. drove me crazy. After the car got repaired, same thing (a week later, after getting off of the interstate). I even got an oil change 4 hours after it got repaired! What‘s wrong? I‘d like to have a good idea what‘s wrong before I take it back to the shop and/or probably causing it. Bad spark plugs, oil pump cruddy? Help! I‘m hyperventilating.

i good brand is element's durathane.theyre light but tough! theyre especially made for preventing flatspots and trust me, flatspots are annoying. they start to make an annoying clicking sound when they roll on the ground and if theyre too beat up, then youll just end up eating a serving of asphalt.

Q:I‘m brushing up on auto and diesel electrical systems, and this is a weird question, but given zero resistance, and the right conductor, how fast does AC, then DC, move? I hear about the speed of light, and sound, but what about electricity?

Close to the speed of light. Usually between 0.5 and 0.99 x the speed of light. pedia: The velocity and the electrical resistance outside of conduction is often assumed by the propagation speed of an electromagnetic wave. In simplified systems, the speed of electricity is given as the electromagnetic wave which conveys information (data), not the movement of electrons. Electromagnetic wave propagation is fast and depends on the dielectric constant of the material. In a vacuum the wave travels at the speed of light and almost that fast in air. Propagation speed is affected by insulation, such that in an unshielded copper conductor range 95 to 97% that of the speed of light, while in a typical coaxial cable it is about 66% of the speed of light. BUT if you are asking about the actual speed of an electron in a wire, then it is much much slower, mm per hour. pedia: The drift velocity deals with the average velocity that a particle, such as an electron, attains due to an electric field. In general, an electron will 'rattle around' in a conductor at the Fermi velocity randomly. Free electrons in a conductor vibrate randomly, but without the presence of an electric field there is no net velocity. When a DC voltage is applied the electrons will increase in speed proportional to the strength of the electric field. These speeds are on the order of millimeters per hour. AC voltages cause no net movement; the electrons oscillate back and forth in response to the alternating electric field.

Q:in my 1994 mitsubishi expo when the brake is not on.then after awhile it shuts off.the guy at firestone said the brake fluid was dirty and a little low, but he couldn‘t just change it or add more in , he would have to check for a leak in the system first , and that would cost about $600.but when he dipped his finger in it and I drove away, it shut off.It did this again today and after warmed up , it shut itself off

yeah, it normally indicates some issue with the hydraulic fluid in the brake line (leak or blockage), but the guy seems to be playing his part to get some extra bucks. Check another shop before paying the 600$, try a Mitsubishi one if u find it.

Q:I‘ve noticed in the last few days that my gears seem to be slipping. Not just one gear, but all of them. Sometimes they won‘t engage at all, and sometimes, I can get the car moving, and the transmission will slip out of gear while shifting to any further gears. It is an automatic transmission. Yesterday, I decided to go in and get my transmission flushed, but while I was driving in, the warning light came on saying there was a problem with the emissions system. I know in previous vehicles that my catalytic converter choked the engine when I needed to replace it, but I never seemed to have problems driving the vehicle. Any gear-heads out there that might be able to help me out?

i'm hoping it somewhat is a beater you do not decide directly to sink severe funds into . in the beginning it would desire to have been as minor as a blown hose, yet you stored utilising, for sure severe harm is complete distinctly with gauge in pink weird and wonderful noise now heard. the 1st individual to help out replaced into no help! advantageous he smelt coolant, yet you're able to have stated as a towing you're able to are turning out to be to be to the source of the subject not anticipate all could be positive with a water hose fill .Jim Carey made a movie approximately comparable situations ! fill interior the blanks d d. sorry, even though it replaced into too humorous to bypass up!!

Q:the sedan and the coupe.i know that the sedan comes out sometime this month and the coupe is coming out before this years end

You answered your own question, beyond that you'd have to call your local dealer and even they may not have an exact date. I'm sure the initial supply will be very limited and some dealers have likely pre-sold their early supply. Hyundai's website has no information on pricing or release date yet, the dealer is your best resource!

Q:My car engine light is on and I need to pass my smog test since it‘s already late. So I‘m wondering about whether to change my cata converter at the dealership or an auto shop. In terms of labor fee, time, cost of the part, which would be a better choice?

Good answers here - mine is too late to be best. I will echo the warning that your catalytic converter is not the top suspect. The youngest converter I have seen that was bad was 18 years old and was on a car with a carburetor. Get it diagnosed and fixed rather than throwing money at it. I have never seen a car with a P0420 code (catalyst efficiency below threshold) that needed a new catalytic converter. Sometimes putting a new converter on will make it enough better for the light to go away for a few months, then it comes back. Fix the cause, not the symptom.

Q:sears told me it will take 2 weeks to get parts (los angeles) is this normal ?

first you need to know if it is gas or elec. Then you need to see if you registered the heater to make sure the warranties is active.and if its going to take that long you should ask sears who repairs or covers their warranty then call them.O if you didn't register the heater THEY WILL CHARGE YOU a trip fee,parts and labor.and one one more thing.labor usually is not covered in the warranty. but it can just be a thermal coupler

Q:I have an 07 Altima 3.5SE sedan...I've been noticing when the auto-light feature is turned on, and the vehicle is just turned off, the headlights are on for an excessive period of time.

In my mini van there is a dial above the headlight switch for this adjustment.
