Accord :: 1996 - Cooling Fan Not Shutting Off

Got back from an hour n half rode trip and noticed my cooling fan wasn't shutting off. I know it usually stays on for a bit afterwards so I waited awhile to see if it would shut off and after 2 hours it was still running? What it could be, what needs to be replaced, and if it's going to be a pricey project?

Jeep - Grandcherokee :: Engine Occasionally Shutting Off When Car Is Idle

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2001 with about 150,000 miles. About every other day my car will shut off while I'm stopped at a light, stop sign, etc. The strange thing is that the radio and lights (stuff controlled by the battery I assume) does not turn off with the engine. It seems the frequency with which this happens has stayed about the same, and I haven't been too worried until yesterday when I went to start my car and it would not start. It just kept revving and seemed like it was very close to starting.

I opened the hood and saw a lot of corrosion on the battery and luckily I had a coke in the car. After pouring some coke and wiping away the corrosion, the car started up. I have had no problems since I did this yesterday. But like I said, my car engine seems to turn off without warning so it could happen next time I drive. If these two problems could be linked, that is the corrosion on the battery could have caused both the car not starting and the engine shutting off when the car is idling. I took to a mechanic about a month ago and they couldn't find anything wrong with it and, of course, it didn't shut off when they drove it.

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Shutting Down At Idle Or While Driving?

So I have this intermittent problem of the truck shutting down on its own when in idle or idling along in drive I immediately put the truck in N, turn the key and she starts right up again.

Does not do it at speeds, just in idle. The "check gage" and "battery" light are the only dash lights on after a shut down.

Where do I start?

Mazda :: 1996 - Clunking Sound From Right Front Wheel On Turns

We have a mystery: there's a clunking sound from our right front wheel when we turn, but our mechanic can't figure out why - he says the axle, struts and ball joint there all look fine. What else could be causing the sound - is he missing something important? This sound happens about 50% of the time on turns. Note that we recently (about 10 days ago) had the ball joint and struts replaced on the LEFT front wheel - could that have done something to the balance of the axle, etc. that is making this sound happen on the right front wheel? This is an old car (a 1996 Mazda Protege with 115,000 miles on it) but it's been well-maintained and is otherwise running well.

Chrysler - Towncountry :: 1996 Won't Start / Turns Over And Fires For About 1 To 2 Seconds

My 96 Town and Country won't start. It turns over and fires for about 1-2 seconds max. After that it only turns over, no fire. The key sign/symptom is that the odometer and PRNL do not light up. This is very sporadic. Sometimes months and months apart. I unhook the battery in an effort to reset the computer. Sometimes it works in 1/2 hr. Sometimes several hours. So I don't think it resets but I still do it anyway. I have replaced the computer but no luck. Could it somehow be the dash cluster?

Pontiac - Grandam :: 1996 - RPM Rises At Highway Speed While Turns

My daughter recently had me go for a ride in her car. 96 grand am 4 cyl. The car at highway speeds while making left turn the engine rpm raises. like the transmission is slipping or something. It only does it in a left hand turn above 55 mph. If you let off the gas pedal and the reapply it is normal until you steer into the turn again. only way to get it to not do it is to slow down. What would this be. transmission, wheel bearings, cv joints?

Toyota - Tacoma :: 1996 - AC Temperature Is Very Sporadic / Air Starts Out Cold Then Turns Hot

This is a great little truck we only use occasionally. It has 145,000 miles and runs great, but the a/c temperature is very sporadic, and this week it is 100 degrees! One day it will work fine, and the next day it will only blow hot air. Sometimes the air starts out cold, but after 5 min of driving, it turns hot. I have had the freon checked and my mechanic said part of the compressor (forget what he called it) was probably getting stuck at times, and he would have to pull it all out and possibly replace...

Passat (B7) :: Marble Sound When Shutting Car Off

I know VW's are quirky. When I shut the engine off, around 5 seconds later there comes a funny marble dropping sound from the engine compartment. It sounds as if you were to drop a marble on a table and let it bounce a couple times. I can't figure out what it is.

Passat (B6) :: Key Hard To Remove When Shutting Off The Engine?

Ok I've had this issue since picking up the vehicle back in January. it has gotten worse over the last few weeks. When shutting off the engine and trying to remove the key, I have to wiggle it around in the slot before it would come out. Sometimes I have to push it back in (which starts the engine again) a couple of times before it will come out.

On my previous passat, and on my wife's passat, I simply press it in to shut off the engine, and the key just pops out. no force needed. This only happens after the car has been driving around a little bit. (i.e. if I just start the engine then shut it off without driving it around, the key pops out easily). Local dealer says its normal. If this is normal, then my other two passats are then abnormal?
