i have a 2000 honda civic and everytime i release the brakes it make a squeal.... not when i apply the brakes but when i release it... anyone kno why?

Same shit is happening to me in my 99 sierra. It's sounds more like it's struggling than a squeal though. Reminds me of the sound the cars in F-Zero make when you press and let go of the gas right away.

If you got them changed somewhere go back and let them know. It might be they didnt grease the back of the pads when they slipped them on, or your brake rotors are out of round and need to be machined. Is it squeaking all the time? or just when youre stopping?

its actually more of a glue than grease, its so the brake pad stays on the caliper when installing. if you buy brake pads at any auto parts place you get a lil packet of it in the box. go back to the shop and let them know whats up..

Having a car is a pain in the ass! Post any problems u having with you car and hopefully other cats can assist.

I got one. My a/c is making my car overheat! How much u think this is gonna break me? Did some research and my a/c compressor may need to be repaired or replaced. Perfect time for this shit to happen.

if a car overheats it can be anything from the thermostat not opening all the way not letting the coolant circulate to cool the engine, the radiator clogged from the outside with dirt and bugs not letting enough air cool down the antifreze, when water pumps go bad youll see coolant pouring out from a weep hole caused by a seal inside the pump getting worn, does the fan turn on at all ?

I have a cadillac seville and theres a sensor that makes the park brake automatically go on when it should i guess, but sometimes it doesn't release right away when i shift out of park even when the tires move. it's hella annoying, im bout to get it taken care of but i dont even know why it does that.
Click to expand...
it sounds like that sensor is sticking..

When your car wont start to find out if its the starter, have someone try and start it and tap lightly with a hammer/wrench, or a rubber mallet. The vibration will either click the solenoid, or jar the connector together and the car will start, just dont turn it off. Starters are one of the easier repairs to do yourself check out the cost of the part and maybe do it yourself, it should only take a couple hours in the driveway.

As far as the ticking sound, I cant tell you because I cant hear it, but make sure theres a good oil level first of all, and that the car keeps positive oil pressure just to be safe. To see if its something internal that may be a bigger problem, take a long screw driver and hold the tip against the cylinder head areas and out the handle to your ear, like youre using the screwdriver as a stethescope, that way when the sound is louder youre closer to where it is.

you can also do that mallet tapping trick on some fuel pumps when your car doesnt start to get it to start at times.. but yeah open the hood have one of your boys start up the engine and try and hear for the sound have him rev it up acouple times to hear it better..

hmmmm i doubt its the filter changed that less than a year.... fuck my life if its the fuel pump.... and fuel injectors? how much are they and how easy are they to fix?
Click to expand...
I read that shit wrong homie......if its "shaking" like that its a possibility that one of the axles is shot.......does it also make a clicking sound when you turn the steering wheel all the way in a certain direction and drive?

You might have alignment issues.....

or tire issues....

Sorry about my above answer.

Where is the car shaking, I mean do you feel the shaking in the steering wheel? Or does it feel like its coming from the suspension under the car? If you feel it through the steering wheel its probably warped rotors, if its coming from under the car the wheel bearings might be going. "Shaking" is kind of vague.

how much does it cost to fix ac and the heater in a car? My shit wont flow cold air and it wont shoot hot air out either. Anyone kno?
Click to expand...
What kind of car is it? If your a/c flows air but it isnt cold the cheapest thing to do first would be buy a can of freon and recharge your system. If that doesnt do it, it might be your a/c compressor and that would be more expensive...Depending if the problem with the a/c and heater correlate, the heater problem could be the heater core, which is a bitch depending on the car.

How are the tires on the car? When I bought one of my cars it was basically on slicks and the car shook like hell. The guy I bought it from said the tires needed to be balanced but they were so bad nobody would do it. I just needed a new set of tires and the shaking stopped.

or it could be a bunch of other things like mentioned above.
