• 1996 Saturn SL2: My engine runs hot then takes quite a bit of time to cool off. What are the causes of this and what should I do to fix this issue?
• Chevrolet Astrovan: I’m noticing a vibration while idling and my check engine light has come on. What is causing this?
• 2007 Ford Taurus: There is a vibration in my front end at certain speeds but my tires are fine. Is this a throttle issue?
