The car starts then cuts off what's the problem?

Quite often it's related to the fuel pump relay. The relay is turned on for a brief time when you first turn on the key, and if the engine doesn't start right away the fuel pump is turned off to prevent potential problems. Beyond that, you'll need to do some investigating and trouble shooting.

How tight should the wheel bearing nut on a 1994 Geo Metro be tightened?

On many of these older set ups where the bearings are "loaded" by the axle nut, there always isnt a torque spec. given. Its best to tighten it while rotating the rotor/ hub assembly and tighten until you get an extremely small amount of "drag" or resistance. After that, dont forget to put your cotter pin or crush the nut collar in the axel indentation!

What are the symptoms of a bad brake master cylinder on a 1992 Geo Tracker?

The most common symptom of a master cylinder that has failed is that when you stop and hold your foot on the brake pedal it will slowly fall to the floor. This is called pedal fade and means the seals within the master cylinder are leaking. If you push the brake pedal and it does not return it may be defective. You may also see a leak at the master cylinder.

How do you retrieve the engine codes from a 1994 Geo Metro?

You will need a computer scanner to read these codes, then a book or other source to determine what the codes mean Go to your local public library and see if they have a repair manual (Haynes or Chilton) for your vehicle available for checkout. OBDII system that requires a scanning tool to retrieve the trouble codes became mandatory in 1995. Prior to then, codes could be retrieved manually. If manual retrieval is available for your vehicle, the manual will instruct how to retrieve the codes and tell you what each code means. Another option would be to have the computer scanned at an auto parts store that scans as a free service.

What causes white smoke from exhaust?

Answer:

I have a 2003 Audi A4 1.8 Turbo around 67,000 miles. It started shooting a lot of white smoke in couple of days. I have read the other answers, and I thought it was burning antifreeze. When I took it to the mechanic shop, the first mechanic said the motor was bad. The second mechanic told me it could be related with turbo. He took the turbo out and yes it was the problem. Turbo was shooting the oil out. Instead of buying an expensive new turbo, I bought the rebuild kit for $40, and rebuilt it. For around $500 the problem is solved. No more smoke , and much better performance. If you have a car with turbo, that might be your problem.

What will cause a vibration that seems to be in the drivetrain when driving at 50 mph?

Several things could contribute to this, but you should also answer this question: if you go faster than 50mph, does it go away again? The goal is to find out if it only happens within a certain range of speeds, or rpms, or gears. So, for example, your answer might be that my car only vibrates between 50-58mph, and in 5th gear alone; it does not vibrate at the same speeds in 4th gear. Or another possible answer might be that your car only vibrates when the engine is turning over between 3600 - 4000rpm. If your car is an automatic or you don't have a tachometer, this will make answering this question more difficult. The goal is to be able to give your mechanic more information so that they won't hopefully spend unnecessary time on diagnostic tests. Don't do anything dangerous especially while driving at 50mph+ to try and find this information. A few possible answers: 1) a wheel out of balance; 2) a drive shaft out of balance, perhaps due to wear in one or more of the knuckle joints; 3) worn engine or transmission mounts; 4) a broken or nearly broken piece of body work in the front of the car that is loosening up and vibrating. I would say the U-Joints also make sure you have nothing wrapped around the drive shafts(road debri)
