wut does it mean whn ur car stops accelerating but is fine again after engine is off for a few minutes?

possible that the fuel pump is going. It may be getting hot and shutting down.\nthe ECM (computer that someone else refered to) is not the cause.\nIf your trans was going, you would know. The engine will rev. up when you hit the gas. If this is the case, then sorry, you need to see a trans shop. If it is your fuel pump, cost and ease of repair would depend on the vehicle you have.

If the engine light comes on and goes off AND the car has a problem idling correctly, it could be the oxygen sensors. They are only expected to last around 60,000 miles so if it's been longer than that, you might want to get them changed. If they are worn out, you would get better power, better gas mileage, and a smoother running car. It could also be your fuel filter. If it is restricted, your engine could be starving under hard acceleration as the engine isn't getting all the fuel it needs. Also, check the condition of the plugs/wires to make sure they are ok.

because the air inside the car is moving with the car

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity (speed) with respect to time. In your problem statement, the phrase "slowing down uniformly" implies that the change in velocity is happening at a constant rate.\n\nKnowing this, you can compute the acceleleration as:\n\na = (v2 - v1) / t\n\na = (5 - 20 m/s) / (4 s)\n\na = -3.75 m/s²\n\nUNDERSTAND THIS: The negative sign means that the velocity is slowing down. It does not imply that the velocity is negative.\n\nFor part (a), force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. In other words, a force of 1 N is required to acclerate a 1 kg mass at a rate of 1 m/s². Mathematically:\n\nF = m * a\n\nYou're given the mass of the car, and you now know its acceleration, so the average force acting on the car is simply:\n\nF = m * a\n\nF = (2000 kg) * (-3.75 m/s²)\n\nF = -7500 N\n\nThe negative sign means that the force is acting against the car's direction of travel.\n\nFor part (b), the distance the car travels in this time is calculated by the distance equation:\n\nS = (1/2) * a * t² + vi * t + Si\n\nWhere vi is the car's initial speed and Si is the car's initial displacement (distance). Initially, at t=0 s, we'll assume that the initial displacement is 0 (because we only want to know how far the car travels from when we start the clock at t=0). Additionally, vi is given as 20 m/s. Plugging everything into the distance equation provides:\n\nS = (1/2) * a * t² + vi * t + Si\n\nS = (1/2) * (-3.75 m/s²) * (4 s)² + (20 m/s) * (4 s) + 0\n\nS = -30 m + 80 m\n\nS = 50 m\n\nThe car travels 50 m during this period of slowing down.\n\nHope that makes it all clear! :)

The gasket may be blown.  Are you getting excess exhaust/fumes?

Get it serviced. They're good engines. You shouldn't have a problem.

Inertia means two things:\n\nAn object at rest will stay at rest, unless another force acts on it.\n\nAn object in motion will continue in motion, unless another force acts on it.\n\nAny force which changes the motion of an object -- the speed and/or direction -- is called acceleration.\n\n...You're riding along in your car.  Both you and the car have inertia; that is, you're both in motion, and will continue to move until something changes that.\n\nThe car runs into a wall, which certainly makes a big change in the car's motion.  You, on the other hand, and anything else inside the car that wasn't strapped down, will continue to move forward because of your own inertia.  Without a seat belt or air bag, your body will continue to move forward through the windshield, which is undignified, extremely painful, usually fatal, and a big drag to clean up.\n\nSo:\n\nA)  Seatbelts put you more "in contact" with the car; which is to say, any force which affects the inertia of the car will be more efficiently transferred to your body -- though not *so* efficiently that you go "splat" like the rest of the car; they just restrain you from continuing forward into the windshield.\n\nB)  A head rest acts as an accelerator for your head.  If the car accelerates suddenly (such as when somebody runs into the back of your car), the car's seat transfers that acceleration to your body.  The head rest acts as an extension of the seat, so that your head is also accelerated and doesn't get "left behind" because of its own inertia.\n\nC)  In practical terms, a force which is applied directly opposite to an object's direction of movement is called "deceleration."  It's still the same thing as acceleration, but we treat it as if the speed an object is going in a particular direction is being decreased in the same direction.  When the car hits the wall, as your body's inertia propels you forward, the air bag acts as resistance to that forward movement, decelerating the forward motion of your body.\n\nThe point to all three of these is to gently transfer acceleration to your body.  A car is much more rigid than your body (for instance, if you were to accelerate really hard, the rear bumper isn't going to get left behind), and is able to take much more drastic changes in its speed and direction.  Your body is much more fragile (and much more valuable) than a car, so seat belts, head rests and air bags are used to ease the changes in acceleration.\n\nAs you know, falling off a tall building isn't what kills you, it's the big fat splat at the bottom.  When you fall, your body accelerates down with a force of one G (which stands for earth's gravity), which your body can handle quite well.  But when you hit the ground, the ground acts to accelerate you in the opposite direction (up) *very* quickly, with much more acceleration than your body can stand.  If there's a big enough air bag to land on, it will slow down the up-acceleration (or down-deceleration, whichever way you look at it) to something that your body can handle.  Now, turn the whole setup sideways, and that's the reason for seatbelts, air bags and head rests.

I had a Toyota truck that did that. Turning the key fast caused a spark in the starter to start it. Got the starter replaced then was fine. Not sure thought why yours would start after warm..

It is a number of things it could be.  Tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm, gear box.  Best to have a auto tech check it out.

check the carb, change spark plug...two strokes load up the spark plug very often, check the air filter...and so on..check simple things first..then if u have to rebuild

The the car would stall

go to www.allfordmustangs.com go into the tech department and look it up. I think it is under induction or Engine. Not completely sure. Hope it works. Good Luck.

I believe it's cooled to prevent pre-detonation of the fuel/air charge in the cylinder. So, if you send the hot gasses back into the manifold without cooling, you'll get knocking in the engine.

As soon as you turn the engine off.

First, I would check for a cracked vacuum line. A vacuum leak could cause your high idle. Especially around the intake manifold. Generally, if any air is leaking around the intake, it will bump up the idle. Make sure your choke is working normally, too.

I believe it's indicating a damaged part of your hard drive.\n\nI would conduct a defragmentation of the drive.\n\nIdeally back up your data and then re-format your hard-drive and start again.  Timely but effective.

Go to your local auto-parts store and look in a repair manual (Chilton's or Haynes) for the year of the vehicle.\n Like the other has said it is probly the EGR valve. Or  a vaccuum valve for a cruise control. Anyway it should not be shaking. And holding it still causes the engine to run smoother? If this thing does not have any wires runninig off of it. Then it has a vaccuum leak. Reattach it to be solidly mounted or replace it.\n If this is a vaccuum valve then there should be a diagram of the vaccuum hose layout on a sticker under the hood. And this component should be named in that diagram.
