Just recently had my auto trans serviced, then this happens tonight.
>Just left friends home, pulled into the main street
>Check Engine light comes on, drive is lost, engine not responding to accelerator
>Spilling spaghetti as I pull to the side of the road
>Turn car off
>Sit for a few seconds
>Turn car on
>Everything is back in order
Car also has an exhaust leak that I'm fixing this week, but what would cause my car to an hero like this? I've had it for 4 years and the exhaust leak is the most severe problem I've had with it.

>what is vacuum leak

Its most likely a rusted headshield. just get underneath the car, and remove it.

with my experiance,any beaner muffler shop will remove it without issue. just take it with you, its worth like $60

also, without a glassback muffler, your exhaust may sound shitty.

I mean remove the rusted heatshield yourself.
If you want, a beaner shop will remove the cat, and replace it with a straight pipe.

Gonna go look at a 1998 civic ex today 135k miles guys asking 2100, is there anything i should watch out for that isnt already in the sticky? Should i avoid buying from someone that no hablo engles

Hey guys I was checking out some trucks on Craigslist when I ran into a 98 Chevy Silverado. I emailed the person and this is what they responded with. Is it just me or does this seem a bit shady?

unless you can speak Spanish I'd be a little weary buying from someone I don't share a language with. half of buying a car is asking questions and negotiating. idk how that's gonna happen if you don't share a language.

yeah I think that's a scam

Checked hoses, all clear, I probably should have started with that. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is going on so if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Did I fuck up by trying to unscrew my shifting knob without securing the pole-thingy?

Also not Veeky Forums-related but fuck it: Can I simply replace my GTX580 with a 1080? It needs less juice, is there anything I'm missing?
