Help me with my car!

taso42_DELETED

Help! My car is running real bad. I put gas in it sometimes, but sometimes I forget and I run out and my brother needs to bring me some. LOL. I never change the oil or check the tires because I don't believe in that stuff. But it's running really bad lately. And sometimes it doesn't start right away. Help?

I think someone needs to eat their exercise calories.

bah, and here I thought I found an interesting subject! I'll leave my reply anyway.

Sorry, but I can't help but facepalm. You definitely need to change the oil, but you can easily wait longer than 3000 miles, especially if it's a newer car. Speaking of that, what kind of car is it?

Also, it is a good idea to rotate your tires as they will wear unevenly, believe me, I've seen it. What I care about here is that the uneven wear will shorten the life of the tire, making you have to replace them sooner. It's really easy to do yourself.

What's telling you that it's running badly? What sounds does it make when it doesn't start right away?

And don't tell me I always need to put gas in it either!

Is this the part where we give all you advice and then you tell us why it's impossible to follow any of it? Or the other old standby, "I am following it and it's not working" which means I tried it for 3 days and gave up?:bigsmile:

thecanface

make sure to drink back all the gas you burn.. try sqeezing lemon in it. that helps.

hjsyndrome

Not sure why it wouldnt run, everything you are doing sounds like normal maintenance on a car. Let me look it up on youporn to see if they have any suggestions! I will report back later.

now do you feel bad taso??? someone took your goofy a** seriously!

You don't believe in that stuff? Really? What's more expensive? An oil change every 3,000 miles and periodic tune ups or a monthly bus pass? New tires every 30,000 miles or a flat tire on the expressway and a tow?

There's also an orange light that says "Check Engine". It's always on. Is there any way I can turn that off? It's really distracting when I'm driving to work and trying to watch a DVD or read the newspaper.

Clearly we cannot accurately answer this question without first knowing: The Year Make & Model of the car you are currently using, along with your future plans for said vehicle.

Lemon is the trick!

Yeah but my cousin's boyfriend is studying to be a mechanic and he told her that oilchanges are just a scam and to save her money. So I don't buy into that 'oil change myth". In fact, all my oil leaked out and the car is perfectly fine except it doesn't run good anymore.

Lol....stop treating your car like sh*.!! tas'.....haha

Put some sugar in your gas tank, I hear cars respond well to this....

So you want a quick fix...& only hear what you wanna hear...& not the facts right .....haha

Do you want me to "check under your hood"??

HalfofHilary

I say leave it parked in the garage for a couple months. The inactivity will do wonders for the oil flow!
