Why is my Check Tire Pressure light on?

I have a 2005 Grand Prix GXP. About a month ago, my check tire pressure light came on. I took my car to meineke to get an oil change and fuel injection service and had them check the tires. They said my tires seemed OK. They put more air in them and reset the system. I have driven my car about 1200 miles since and my check tire pressure light came on again. My tires look fine (nothing noticeable). Can someone tell me what this could be and how much to fix?Why is my Check Tire Pressure light on?It could be a slow leak or it could be the change of season if the tires are just inflated enough to turn the light off when they are cold they will trigger the light. Was it cold the first day it happened? Is it all the tires or just one tire?Why is my Check Tire Pressure light on?You probably have a slow air leak. Take it to a tire shop and have them check all tires for air leaks.Why is my Check Tire Pressure light on?If the system was reset after they put air in your tires and it lasted a month or so before the light came back on, then it is safe to assume that you have a slow leak in one of the tires. Check inside the treads of the tire and spin the tire, you may see a small nail or screw that is letting the air escape. You can also spray some washer fluid around the rim and valve stem, they will leak sometimes by the wheel weights so you may see a small bubble of air seeping out in that area. Move the valve stem side to side when you spray it, it can also leak from this area. If no luck, take the car anywhere that they sell tires and have them dunked in a water tank to see if they can spot the location of your leak.



Good Luck........Why is my Check Tire Pressure light on?Obviously a slow leak... likely the valve stem...Why is my Check Tire Pressure light on?Check the sensor on the rim and see if it may be a bit loose. Its a possibility.

Nissan 2004 quest car problems .. according to dealer?

Ok My car was perfect.

I had interioir light problems took it to the dealer. He changed the BCM, Thats when everything started going downhill

First the tire pressure monitor was not working

Then I realised the car started giving me only 15 mpg(it used to give me 23 mpg before the BCM was changed)

I had new brake pads and tires put in January 2008, the new dealer tells me that the steering wheel vibrates as something is wrong with the brakes.

He also tells me that I need a new filter which will cost me $105.

Then the same guy who said my car was fine before says I may have engine problems.

So the total keeps going up and up and up. Inspite of always taking the car to a Nissan dealership for everything from oil changes to tire changes.

I have lost faith in dealers services and feel like I am taken for a ride here.

How can a car performing so well get all these problems in less than 2 weeks?Nissan 2004 quest car problems .. according to dealer?Slow down here! BCM replacement needs tire pressure transmitters to be reintroduced Nissan should admit it and do that free. Body Control Module will not change the fuel economy. How perfect can a five model year old van be? As weather turns cold gas mileage gets less. More warm up time longer idling and thermostat issues tend to show up as winter draws near. Quest Vans are heavy and brake rotors tend to warp from heavy braking causing (steering wheel Judder) is technically correct term for shimmy while braking. Resurfacing the rotors or replacing the rotors as necessary. OK was that the in cabin air filter they wanted to change for 105? Clean breathable air for you and your children worth that? You should see the old dirty cabin air filters I remove. Either you maintain the van trust Nissan and its 12 month warranty on any repairs or take it to IFFY LUBE center and have a part time lube boy change the above items. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of good independent technicians. But how many times to they see each repair? I fix your van's condition(s) almost weekly at a North Central Texas Nissan dealership. Get a second opinion if you want. Old cars did not allergen air filters it is a wonder we survived! I grew up with steel dash boards no seat belts. Kids knew to look foward and brace them selfs when mom was stopping.

What car should I get as my first one?

I want a car/truck/suv that has manual transmission and 5 speed...I would want a car that looks nice blacked out though (tinted windows, smoked headlights and taillights)...Oh and by car, I mean any vehicle. (: Anyway I don't want it to have terrible mileage, so preferably a 6 cyl. one, but I could settle for 4 or 8. (: I just want a pretty sweet looking vehicle that most likely wouldn't be too expensive if bought used...or if anyone knows of one being sold, that would be great too, even if it's out of state. I've been looking up cars on Mautofied so I'm just hoping someone will suggest a car I haven't thought of looking up yet, or don't even know about. I'm down for anything except muscle cars, or huge *** trucks...just because muscle cars aren't cheap unless there's a lot of work to be done, and I know some stuff about cars like coilovers, cold air intakes, how to change a tire %26amp; oil, and that there's no such thing as blinker fluid haha...but I'm way to limited in my car knowledge to know how to repair a beast like a muscle car. (:



But any suggestions I'll be glad to read.What car should I get as my first one?Yeah, price range plz.

Are you a baller or just getting by?



I'd recommend a Mitsubishi eclipse for you.

But heres some cars you can look at to

Honda civic

Honda accord

Mitsubishi Galant

Mitsubishi 3000GT

Toyota Celica

Chevy Camaro

Pontiac Firebird (or Trans Am)

Mazda Miata

Mazda Rx7

Mazda Rx8



Idk, just look for cars and find the style you like.

But style isn't everything, think about Performance and think about how much it'll cost in the long run.

Because parts for cars like BMW's you won't find in most stores (Because they're not made in America or not assembled here).

So you'll most likely have to import the parts. And that gets pretty pricey

So stay away from those awesome euro cars if you're not a baller (ie BMW, SAAB)



Mm, definitely research before you buy.

And take somebody that knows something about cars with you to check and inspect cars that you may want to buy (maybe like your dad or someone)



Let me know how it goes!

And if you need my advice on any car (like it's performance, is it reliable, etc.) just email me.

Happy hunting :)What car should I get as my first one?Price range?What car should I get as my first one?get a car that is already broken in. you do not want some bran new nice ride that if you reck you will be heart broken cuz first cars are a learning experience. you want something nice yet not too nice.



My chevy cavilear was AWESOME for my first car. it was a four cyl tho. My nissan maxima was my second car and i LOVED it too. nissans run forEVER! my mazda protege is great too!!! the only 6 cly i have ever owned was a 86 pontac firebird and it was def not my favorite. but five speed is GREAT! i choose five speed over anything.What car should I get as my first one?a first car is always a expense with a first car you will most likely never get everything you want for my first car im getting a 1979 ford f-250 with is a huge *** truckWhat car should I get as my first one?totally depends on what your willing to spend on it. repost the question with your price range :DWhat car should I get as my first one?No actual suggestions but it is good you drive stick and also know your limitations as a mechanic, but I think you ought to stay away from the out-of-state buying market. That's good for fantasizing but it is a bad way to get a car. Since you are open minded, there should be lots of possibilites where you are. Remember, somewhere else is just someone else's home base.

Be careful. Prices of used cars right now are hugely inflated.

If you have a freind at BT they may be able to help.



If you purchased the car from a garage and you know the name and address why dont you go round there???



if they are a garage they should be in yellow pages

Never heard of a garage hiding there numberHow can i get a phone number if its x directory?Have you actually checked? A lot of people (us included)don't have their numbers in the directory, but they're available from Directory Enquiries. If it is fully XD, I'd suggest just writing to the previous owner.



PS I assume you've asked the garage what they're going to do about it? They should have checked that this was included!How can i get a phone number if its x directory?If you take off the chrome cover of one of the nuts you will find a number or letter inscribed on it. You may need a torch or magnifying glass to see it. Write down the number and go to a main dealer of the make of your car and they will be able to supply the key.

How do i solve this math equation and awser this science question?

please tell me the steps and answer to it

A hotel rents a double-occupancy room for $20 more than a single-occupance room. One night the hotel made $3,115 renting rooms, the rented out 15 double-occupancy rooms and 26 single-occupancy rooms. How much does it cost to rent a double-occupany room? How much for single-occupany rooms?



The scince question is this we are learning about levers:



on my way home from schools i got a flat tire. I was about to put on the spare tire when i remembered i took the jack out to make room for mountain bikes. at this time my friend unexpectedly peddled up and asked if i need help. i explained that i didn't have a jack and therefore i couldn't life the car to put the spare on. just as i was about to call AAA, my friend pointed out some long tree branches along the side of the road. %26quot;Would those branches make a lever with enough force to life the car?%26quot; he askes. I said, %26quot;they look strong enough but i'm not sure if they're long enough.%26quot;....



If my car weighs 1545kg, the resistance arm is 40cm, and the effort arm is 5 meters, would the student be able to life the car while i change my tire? explain why or why not. back you answer up with calculations.



PLEASE help me with these 2 questions i am really confused by them.



thanks,

tomHow do i solve this math equation and awser this science question?Well, post your attempt at answering them and I can help explain the confusing parts for you.How do i solve this math equation and awser this science question?double is 20 more than single

so if single=x

then double=x+20



so then you can use those equations and the fact that you know 15 doubles and 26 singles is 3115



3115=26x+15(x+20)

3115=26x+15x+300

2815=41x

68.66=x which is the cost of a single

68.66+20=88.66 is then the cost of a double



not sure about the second question..... haven't taken a physics class in a while....How do i solve this math equation and awser this science question?Single occupancy = x $

Double occupancy = (x +20) $



15 ( x + 20) + 26x = 3115

15x + 300 + 26x = 3115

41x = 3115 - 300 = 2815

x = 2815/41 = 68.66 $



Single occupancy = 68.66 $

Double occupancy = 88.66$

Help with buying a car?

I am looking into the Audi A4. Since it is a foreign car and not japanese I am not familiar with maintenance costs. I keep hearing that it is very expensive to maintain and take care of. Exactly how expensive? can anyone share their experiences with this car when dealing with maintenance like oil change, rotation of tires, tune ups, or any other problems etc...? What would you say about your overall experience?Help with buying a car?Audi, Mercedes and BMW have astronomical maintenance costs and often require major service every 30k miles. Audi and BMW have a nice service feature however for the first 4 years 50k miles which coves all maintenance. However, after that it is up to you and these are not reliable cars by any measure. Expect to pay double for maintaining an Audi verses a Lexus or Cadillac.



That should be included in your decision as depreciation and maintainece costs are overlooked and your 5 year ownership costs can be double that of other makes.Help with buying a car?Well it depends where do u live. Euro is very highly rated these days, so all European products are becoming more expensive...Help with buying a car?All the people here have pretty much said it all concerning the car and maintenance. My son owns a used A4 Quattro turbo, let me give you a few examples of the cost of the car's upkeeps.

Below are what the dealer wanted to charge him.

$1100 for brakes service, replace pads and rotors.

$400 for drivebelts and wiper blades.

$600 for replacing one sidewindow,($300 for labour,$300

for part)

$200 for aftermarket battery (60 months),imagine the cost of genuine part!

$500 for replacing cracked windshield.



after seeing these maintenance bills, I ended up fixing the car for him. He bought the parts and I fixed his GERMAN car.

yesterday, i replaced valve cover gasket, spark plugs, and spark plugs coil igniters for him. it costs hime $200 for parts. Audi dealer wanted $450. hope this would give you some ideas about GERMAN cars. Buy brand new and get rid of it as soon as problems arise.Help with buying a car?They are expensive to maintain but the cars are great and well worth the cost for someone looking for safety driving dynamics and build quality over cost to own. an oil change can easily cost $100, tire rotation would not cost any more than any other car as you just have to move the tires around. They require premium fuel for most models If not all (i think it is all, but not positive). if you have Quattro, when you replace your tires you MUST replace all four not just 2. the majority of repairs do not start until the cars have 60-75K miles on them at which point they will need timing belt done and new water pump if its a turbo model the turbos usually need to be replaced by 100K and suspension usually needs to be done before 150K miles. tune ups are not outrageous but more pricey than a ford or GM. Brakes are not bad if you have them done by an independent mechanic but are costly if done by dealership.



I have owned a few Audi's and they have all been good cars i owned a Toyota Camry and it was not that much cheaper to own than the A6 that i have now but i do not use the dealership for maintenance i use an independent European mechanic. i would highly recommend an Audi to someone who is looking for driving dynamics and build quality and is willing to spend the money for it but if you just want a car to go to work in these may cost you more than you want to pay for upkeep.Help with buying a car?if it is new get a warranty. if it is not new and your getting a loan Thur the bank the bank will set up a warranty for the car.

How can i get the lock nut off my rims without the lock key?

The rims are 20 in forte's and the nuts are from an auto part store like pep boys or auto zone.How can i get the lock nut off my rims without the lock key?call up a custom tire and wheel shop in the area. they usually remove wheel nuts for a price.
