I have a 2001 Pontiac Montana. Ive been having some trouble with it. When it starts I have to give gas right away to prevent it from dying. if it does die, it don't start back. It has done it 3 times now, but months aparts. what I have done after it not starting is: I checked the fuel rail. definitely getting gas up top. pulled the plugs and checked for spark. Getting spark at the plugs. (however not sure what the intensity of the spark should be, but I do see spark.) twice I pulled a plug, checked it for spark, put it back in and the van fired...luck maybe? This time I tried and it didn't work. The plugs seem dry for the constant turning over. Figured the plug would be wet. Could it be that the fuel is making it to the rail and the injectors are not firing? Is there anything I can do to check?

My son wants to start from scratch on his COD Black OPs II game for xbox 360. He has downloaded maps and such so I didn't want to just delete the entire game file from the storage device. I decided to just erase the saved game files that were in the folder, but it remained at his current level and all his weapons unlocked. Should I erase everthing in the COD Black Ops II folder and just reinstall the maps?

I moved from Iowa to Tennessee Jan 1 of last year. I was receiving unemployment from Iowa when we moved. I called and gave them my new address. They told me that Tennessee did not have state income tax like most other states, so they would stop taking state tax out of my unemployment. My unemployment still was issued from the state of Iowa. My question is, I had zero other income while in the state of Tennessee. ( we moved back to iowa at the end of June) Since there is no state tax in Tennessee, and my unemployment was still issued from Iowa, do I even need to file part year residency for each state even though there was no income from the state of Tennessee?

we recently moved. my 60" E-Series Razor LED tipped over in transit. It didn't appear to fall far or fall onto anything. However when I turn it on there are colored lines running vertically across the width. I'm pretty sure its toast, but thought maybe by some miracle there are some things to try before I toss it? I've not hooked up any type of input, or test volume or anything.

For the last 7 months Ive had of trouble with my sinus. never had trouble with allergies, not sneezing, coughing, or itchy watery eyes, runny nose, or anything else you might contribute to allergies. One side of my nose will feel plugged almost constantly. Ive been taking a generic Sudafed with pseudoephedrine from the pharmacy counter at Wal-Mart. It opens me up usually & I go about my day. seems to be worse at night. I cant lay down, it feels like I cant breathe. Usually I can fall asleep laying in my bed (if I have taken the Sudafed prior to bed) only to wake up 45 minutes to an hour later. The only fix I have found is to sleep on the couch sitting up. I am overweight, and have gained a lot of weight being off work for the last 8 months. That is really the only thing I can relate to my issues. What should I do?

My wife was involved in an accident. she was rearended while she was completely stopped. The vehicle was doing speed, so 55ish. Clipped the drivers rear corner. Everyone is okay, been checked out by the hospital. Wife had to wear a collar for three days. Acute ___?__ Trama was the diagnosis. But dont look like any long term damage as of right now. She didnt miss any work, only time with our preemie son who is in the NICU and the hassle of only having one vehicle. My question is, I am still paying on the now totaled car. they told me they will give me market replacement for the car. That is right around what i owe on the car to pay it off. Now, the way i look at it is, I had a vehicle that i have paid three years worth of payments for, not to mention the 1500 dollars down payment i had when i got the car. I feel i am out alot more than just market value on the vehicle. I'm not out for blood, i dont want to sue. Am i entitled to more than just the market value on the totaled car?

I have two choices:

10 gallon 2.5 HP or 20 gallon 4 HP

The 10 gallon is 125 lbs max and im not sure about the 4HP.

My question is will the smaller 2.5 HP 10 gallon run normal air tools? framer, nailer, paint, impact tools? I know the 4horse 20 gallons is more versitile, but im thinkin it may be overkill. Opinions and personal experiences appreciated.

The blower works, works quite well actually. Ive tried adjusting from hot to cold, only to stay cold. The guy i am buying it from says he just had it looked at and he said the hot water is flowing lke it should, but maybe a stuck door? Any help?

Also it is a digital control, not slider dials.

My sister had her kids removed from her home. Her youngest was placed with me in my home when she was 6 days old. She will be 5 months in less than a week. DHS told us that they usually wait till the child is 6 months of age to decide whether or not to terminate the parental rights. Now obviously she has not done what has been asked of her by the courts (prolly the reason she is still with me) However, i believe DHS is a corrupt govt agency and i have little faith that they will do the "right" thing by terminating rights. My question is, When they decide to give her back to her mom, or even before that, can i fight for custody of my niece? i dont feel that she wants her baby back and she has told us that when she does get her back, that none of us will EVER see her again. What do you think?

My sister had her baby removed at 6 days of age. She was placed with us by DHS as legal guardians. Now, i have looked into all the legalities of claiming her on my income taxes, and found it to be true tht i could do so. However, my sister, the babies mom refuses to give me her SSN and says that she will not allow me to claim her on my income taxes. I have talked to DHS and she told me they will get the number oe way or the other, but it may take a court order to do so. Im not convinced they are gonna do this in a quick manner, and as i would like to get my taxes filed ASAP, Im looking for ideas. Can i call the SS offices and explain to them the situation in hopes they will give me the number, or issue me a new card for her? Can i file paperwork myself to obtain a court order? Like i said just looking for ideas and possibilities,

My sister had her baby removed from her care on Sept 23rd of this year. the baby was six days old. when we got her placed with us. We are her legal custodians per juv. courts. we will have her through the end of the year. We have been receiving Caretaker FIP benefits. question 1 is can we claim her on our taxes as an exemption only having her 3.5 months? second question- if we do claim her as an exemption, do we claim the caretakers FIP as income?

i need to replace my blower motor, and need to know what i will need and how to get to it

i have a newer pc with windows 7. i use the media player quite a bit. It is version 12. recently i had to send my PC back to HP to be fixed and have been stuck using my laptop with Vista. Vista uses version 11 which i like alot more than the version 12 on 7. Can you revert back to an older version?

I have a 2001 S-10 pickup 2.2 motor. Manual 5 speed. My heat for some reason is not working. We took a circuit tester and checked all the fuses, second we tested the power to the connector that attaches to the blower. I'm not real savvy when it comes to electronics, but the connector is a two prong type. the circuit tester only lit up when he tested one side of the plug and not the other. He told me it was the blower, so i went and bought another. Instead of taking the old one out and putting in the new one right away, i just unplugged the old one and plugged in the new. the blower turned real slow for a couple seconds and stopped. i cycled through the speeds on the heater, when i got to the third speed, same thing, started briefly and stopped. It seems like to me that there is something between the fuse box and the blower connector that is not working. Any ideas?

My van has been overheating. I added coolant and water. The mixture is fine. I have tested it. The heat also is not getting warm all the time. It will be cold, the temp gauge will go up past 3/4. I'm assuming the thermostat will open, the temp goes down to about 1/2 and then the heat will get warm for only a few minutes. The temp goes up again pretty quickly, the heat goes cold. I have noticed there is alot of browning grainy residue in the radiator. Could this be bad? Could the thermostat be not working properly? If i do need to change the thermostat, how in the world do you get to it? Any help is appreciated!

I have a 2004 Grand Prix GT. I recently noticed that when i hit about 75 MPH, or when slowing from more than 30 or so, my car has a shimmy to it. It is noticable at 75, but even more noticable when slowing down, especially when applying the brake to decelerate quicker. My tires are not brand new, but it seems they have tread left on them. I don't have any trouble with it pulling to either side, so hopefully that rules out allignment. I'm not sure.....maybe they need balanced? but would unbalanced tires really throw a shimmy into a drive? I feel nothing loose, it all feels sound to me. Any ideas?
