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

    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.

    try texting, that way your head is down and you wont see the light anymore. duh taso.. you should know better.

    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.
    haha youporn. Is that the new google?

    what's google??? i thought you were just supposed to post a forum on MFP everytime you had a question on ANYTHING???? i'm pretty sure thats what your supposed to do........

    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?

    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.


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

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

    Duct tape. Works miracles to eliminate those pesky little dash lights...like check engine, brakes, seat belt, etc.

    Hahaha! Very funny! Well, there are these people I know that keep on telling me that I have to gas up my car every single day to the brim no matter what and I am doing a test drive with that theory but honestly I have never had a problem still driving my car with a half full tank or 1/4 full for that matter. I think I just have to turn my car in for a more fuel efficient model LOL ;)

    To the people asking for more info. Silly me, I forgot to include the details: It's a red car. I have one of those fuzzy seat cushions, but only on the driver's seat. And I never ever put bumper stickers on it (I know you're not supposed to and it's bad for the car).

    Oh A Red Car you should have said so... I advise you to def stay away from Bio Diesel!! That "organic crap" will just kill your car!
