  • Engine noise at 45-55mph only?

    Hi, my car is making a noise but only when driving at 45-55mph. If I drive faster or slower it doesn't make that sound. It sounds like engine is reving too high, but RPMs are normal 2k-3k. What cuold be causing this? I was thinking timing belt or transmission problem, but just wanted an idea of what it could be. There are no other problems with the car.

    2010 Chevy HHR with 40k miles

    2.2L 4 cyl with Flex Fuel, DOHC, Automatic transmission

    Thank you for ideas!

  • Army or Air Force doctor, any differences?

    I just finished 2nd year at a US med school, starting 3rd year in July. I am having big time money problems. So I am considering joining Army or Air Force, with a 2 year commitment as doctor. I am interested in Anesthesiology or ER med, which I think means I will be sent overseas for sure. Anyways, I'm not familiar with the Army, and know very little about the Air Force. Which would be better for a doc? I heard Air Force has the best living accomodations, generally speaking? Any advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks

  • Car maintenance/warranty - please help!?

    I have a car that is under factory warranty. I had 30k warranty repair done at Pep Boys (tune up, spark plugs, etc). At 37k miles it started rough idling, and stalling sometimes at lights. I took it into Dodge to have it fixed (under warranty), Dodge says it is "clogged up" throttle body because of bad tune up/spark plugs or spark plug cables. They say to clean throttle body it is $500, and not covered by warranty because it is due to a maintenance problem!

    Does this sound right? Would bad spark plugs clog the throttle body? Should Pep Boys cover it, or Dodge?

    I am so freaking mad but I don't know who to yell at!

    Thanks!

  • 2006 PT Cruiser... where is the low pressure AC valve (to refill with coolant)?

    I think my car needs a AC recharge, but I can't find the low-pressure AC valve... Is it a blue cap, and where is it? I'm afraid they hid it at the bottom, by the condensor.

  • Questions about Paxil for those who have used it?

    Paxil Questions:

    1. Did it decrease your libido (desire for sex), or cause other sexual side effects? How long were you on Paxil before you had these effects?

    2. If you quit it, did it give you headaches? I also wonder if you switched to a similar type drug (SSRI) like Lexapro or something if you would not get the headaches?

    Thanks!
