  • Why is my parking brake and anti lock brake lights on on my 1990 Dodge Ram B250 and how do I get it off? ?

    I have this light on and its got me bum fuzzeled. The lights were on and my brakes were a little spungy so I replaced my rotors, pads and calipers on the front and the drums, shoes, spring kit and automatic adjusters on the rear. I only bled the front brakes and the lights were out. I drove it and it had decent brakes but still a little spungy. I then bled the back brakes and the lights came back on and I cant get them to turn off. I drove it and the brakes don't seem spungy at all but the anti lock and parking brake will not go off. Is there a way to check the anti lock motor or something since this is not something that will throw a code and cant be checked with a scanner? Any other solutiions?

  • Would this bail out work better than the proposed bail out?

    our elected officials are about to vote for a 7 billion corporate bail out. the money goes to the lenders whom have already made billions from the subprime loans which mostly are still in effect. They are still making cash from those loans.

    Now they are running out of money to lend (supposedly) because they gave loans to people that couldn't afford them and are in default or after the housing bubble burst it was more practical to allow the homes to go back and rent. These were mostly middle class people, not poor people as reported or claimed.

    Instead of giving or loaning the companies the the cash, why don't we start at the other end and help those having problems with their loans keep their homes. Lets give market value for the loans (not face value), extend the loan for the home owner and put their past due payments at the back of their loan, drop their high interest rate down a point or two and give them a fixed rate. that should fix their problem. Now the lenders have more money to lend and are free from the subprime loans. The home owners stay in their homes or move back into them and the tax payer (me and you) gets their money back from the bail out with interest. The housing industry is no longer flooded with foreclosed homes and home values began to increase again. We tell the financial giants they get no tax breaks for capital gains or any tax breaks at all for screwing our country up. We vote all the people out that voted for the other bail out because we know they only have the interest of the wealthy at heart or they would have come to this way of thinking. It sounds better than what we've seen so far. What do you think?

  • If the third party candidates were allowed to debate and get media attention, might they have a chance?

    Why are they being blocked out of the debates and why aren't media giving them what they are due. Is the media controlled by the two parties. We know Fox is but how about the rest of them?

  • Where Was Nader and Barr? Why are they left out? Why does the media ignore the?

    Nader and Barr are on the ballot in 45 states. Millions of signatures were collected to get them on the ballots. Nader is anywhere from 6 to 9% in the polls in the battle ground states and Barr better in others. Why are they ignored? Don't say because they just don't have a chance to win because they are just not being given a chance. Is the media controlling who our president is to be? Americans are really tired of what we have been getting and these guys offer something different so why aren't we given the chance to hear them. If they are in the polls at all without a chance to debate and being ignored by the media, They must have something to say and someone is listening.

  • Is it fair not to let other candidates debate with McCain and Obama?

    Shouldn't Nader and Barr or any one else that is going to be on the ballot be able to debate. Why just the two party debate?

  • Has anyone paid attention over the years? ?

    Every president that I have ever seen leaving the White House has had terrible bags under their eyes. Even their cabinet members are a bit tattered. But Bush looks as though he has had everything go perfect for him as well as people like Paulson. Whats up with that? Seems with times as tough as they are Bush would have to be carried out instead of looking like he has been on vacation. What are your thoughts?

  • What is making my 98 Ford Contour run so poorly?

    The car is driving me nuts! I just replaced the o2 sensor after replacing fuel filter, checking fuel pressure, changing plugs and wires, checked for vaccum leak, sprayed carb cleaner around intake manifold or atleast where I couldreach ,removed exhaust at manifold to ensure cat. converter not clogged The car began to hesitate or stall when cold and barely hesitate after warming. Then the check engine light came on. Later I was climbing a long steep hill and the engine slows down to a crawl. After I got to the top of the hill the engine picked up as I let off the accelerator. I made it home ok and checked the code. It came up P0171 and P1381 which signaled to me that the o2 sensor, fuel supply, clogged cat. converter or exhaust, or vaccum leak. I did get a pending code at one time that pointed to cvt sensor. I have no codes showing yet but the car still runs the same I forgot to mention it is cutting out or revving at 3800 rpm and above in the garage

  • 98 ford contour with codes p0171, P1131. does anyone have ideas about what to check?

    I have a 1998 contour that seemed to be running fine. I havent driven it in awhile so I drove it to work. The check engine soon light came on on the way to work but the car seemed fine. On the way home I was going up a long steep hill and the car started losing momentum, espesially after down shifting and high rpms. i barely made it over the hill and when i began driving at low rpms again it straightened out. After I got home I noticed when you acclerate above 3800 rpms that it seemed to either cut out or riv up and down. I checked the codes and it was P0171 and P1131. which means it is running lean and the 02 sensor was not changing properly. Got any solutions?
