Question: 1990 Dodge Omni mileage: 142,000. The engine runs wonderfully, and get awesome gas mileage (35-40 mpg), however, when accelerating, the car will gag for a few seconds, then suddenly take off very fast, all the while my foot is holding the gas in the same position. There are no clutch problems, then engine was rebuilt, and the transmission was replaced about 20,000 miles ago. I've replaced the cap, wires, rotor, fuel filter, plugs, air filter, etc.

Answer: Check the fuel pump pressure and the fuel pressure regulator. Also, check for vacuum leaks and check the operation of the EGR valve.

Question: 1989 Dodge Omni mileage: 150,000 miles. This Omni is driving crazy, I had it in the garage many times and no one can find the problem. It has a miss and if I give it a lot of gas its fine, if it idles its fine, but if I try to go a steady speed, that’s when it misses, like sputters and backfires sort of thing. I have changed the computer, coil, spark plugs & wires. I tried with two new injectors going all around, and last I have changed the intake manifold gaskets. I also had the fuel pump checked and it's ok

Answer: We have seen similar problems that were cured by replacing the O2 sensors.

Question: 1990 Dodge Omni mileage: 104,500. Recently I noticed squealing front disc brakes they only squeal with my foot off the pedal and if I press brake pedal about a 1/2 in the squeal disappears. I have brakes and they work fine but there is something wrong. The squealing is super loud on the freeway and embarrassing to drive. Sometimes, rarely, it will go away for a few seconds though. What is going on & how do I fix the problem?

Answer: Replacing the front brake pads should fix your problem.
