    what should i do with my car audio system?

    Start with good speakers. If you have lousy speakers then adding an amplifier will just make the speakers sound worse.

    Look at your shift lever. It may have bent in and now won't allow the shift forks to move far enough to get into second or higher.

    ford taurus 2001 3.0 v6 what cause it to run good at idle?

    You did the hard part already. You did the troubleshooting for any mechanic. The answer to your problem is the catalytic converter is plugged. Replace the cat converter and it will run fine. Don't run the car with the exhaust manifold off, you'll burn exhaust valves very quickly. Don't just...

    is the cd player covered under warranty for an '07 ford ranger?

    First thing I would do is check the settings, I believe the volume knob also changes the bass, treble, balance, etc. But if it is actually the radio malfunctioning then call the dealer and check your warranty paper work.

    The V Star would do great, that the kind of trip it's made for. Now your butt on the other hand. You'll want to take a break at least every two hours or you're going to be in pain. Let me know when you get to Oregon, might ride with you sometime.

    Electrical system ZAPPED on my chevy VAN what next?

    Sounds like your battery is bad. Batteries go bad in three ways. One is normal sulfation, or just age. Another is internal short. And the third is an open circuit. Take your car, or battery if the car doesn't run, to most any autoparts store and they can check the battery for you.

    97 ford serpentine belt question?

    It all depends on what car you are working on. Some cars you can remove the compressor and the non A/C belt will work just fine. Others you can't. You didn't give enough information to be able to tell you for sure.

    is it good to follow someone who is taking their driving test so that i know

    Instead of trying to learn the course for the test, why don't you practice driving in all types of conditions. Drive on the highway, in town, during rush hour, in the rain, etc. That way it won't matter where the instructor takes you and you will be a better driver when you do get your license.

    car warranty question?

    Warranty covers manufacture defects, not abuse. I wouldn't claim a wheel and tire under insurance as your insurance will go up when you put in a claim. Probably end up costing more in insurance than what you would pay for a new wheel and tire. Try finding a matching wheel at a wrecking yard.

    I nerly wiped out my car, help me acess the damage and actions to take?

    If you hit hard enough to cause the car to pull, then something in the suspension is either bent, or knocked out of alignment. Hopefully it isn't the frame that is bent. There is no way anyone on here can guess what the problem is. Take your car to a mechanic and have them check it out...

    my jeep has a wobble at 45-50mph.?

    Swap the front and back wheels. If the problem goes away then you have either a tire out of balance or a bad belt in a tire. If the problem does not go away then have the suspension checked out. Normally a wobble between 40 to 50 is tire balance.

    i just got a new pocket bike.what are some good upgrades to make it better and

    You're not going to get much speed out of a 50cc bike. If you want speed get a real motorcycle. Or you can spend $3000 or more on a turbo and gain 10mph.

    car audio installation problem?

    Sounds like you have a problem with the amp switching. You should have a blue wire coming out of your head unit, that wire goes to "S" terminal on the amp so it will come on when you turn the head unit on.
