My first bet is the accelerator pump is not working properly. Also, with the I-6, it will not be a power house no matter what you do to or with it.

I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima. I think I'm having a problem with the power steering. A few days ago it started making a grinding noise when i turned right, the PS fluid is low, but how do i know if that is the problem or if it's something more serious? The problem is, I am ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS when it comes to cars, car problems, repairs, labor, & fair prices. The other problem is that I'm a young, single mother on a VERY tight budget. How can I find a mechanic/garage in Chicago or the suburbs that is not going to completely take advantage of me?Any advice is much appreciated!!Tiffani 3 Answers

2005 Ford Focus - When I start my car it makes a loud vibrating noise, when I put it in reverse it seems to quiet down some. When I press the gas pedal it vibrates the car and is very loud. Does anyone know what this could be? I have been looking online and some people have been saying to replace the motor mounts. I took it to a couple different places and I keep getting different things so I am not sure what is right. 8 Answers

Ok i had bought a 2004 Hyundai tucson v6 and it had ran ok for a few months but when i bought it i noticed the engine light is on so i took it to auto zone so they can read the codes for me and they said i needed 2 O2 sensors and 1,3,and5 was misfiring. But it still ran fine ,so i said don't fix it if its not broken.lol. but ishould of fixed it because now it is running bad. It starts and everything but when you put it in gear it wants to die out and when pushing gas pedal it runs rough or comes close to dieing out . So i checked the sensor the messures the air and gas , put it on my meter like it's says on YouTube and it was fine. But really stuck on what to do ,don't have much money to go buy all kinds of parts and it doesn't fix the problem. so if there is any body out there that might know what is going on please help me figure this crap out . Thank you so much and God bless everyone 2 Answers
