maryV132: (DO IT Yourself er) Q. my Chrysler mini van blows white smoke out tail pipe like clouds. is my engine ok?
CAVEMAN (MECHANIC) A. white smoke in exhaust is caused by water or antifreeze entering combustion chamber in engine, usually from cracked head gasket or cylinder head. you maybe able to change gaskets or replace cylinder heads. sometimes costly.
bro211gold: (DO IT YOURSELFER) Q. I have a 99 ford Win star when i close the doors the lights stay on inside the vehicle until the battery is dead next morning . what is the problem and how can i fix it?
CAVEMAN (MECHANIC) A. on each door of the winstar there is a door jam switch which works with the alarm system. make shore you have closed all doors and hatch properly. if one is open it can trigger the lights. also check your dimmer switch to see its position it can also trigger interior lights.
STEADYB311: (DO IT YOURSELFER) Q. IS THERE A FUEL FILTER ON A 2000 SUZUKI ESTEEM? I LOOK UNDER THE CAR AND ENGINE AREA AND COULD NOT FIND ONE. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE IT IS OR IF THERE IS ONE?
NOLOTCARS.COM (MECHANIC) A. ON MOST CARS YOU LOOKED IN THE RIGHT PLACES BUT SUZUKI PLACES THERE FUEL FILTERS ABOVE THE FUEL TANK YOU MUST FIRST LOWER THE FUEL TANK TO REPLACE IT.CAR OR TRUCK SHOULD BE RAISED AND ON JACK STANDS IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN AUTO LIFT.BETTER LEFT TO AN EXPERIENCE MECHANIC FOR SAFETY.
