Im not really a mechanic but theres somethin wrong with our car and I needa know what it might be and how to fix it by myself if possible or take it to a professional.


1. The car wont start, i mean it starts and its shuts off half way through unless i press the gas and hold it down.

2. The check engine light is on because of the catalyic converter. Whats the cheapest and easiest way to get this fixed/replaced.

3. I think this might be a problem with most of them but when the car hesitates when going from 1st to second gears more like it kicks back I heard there was somethin wrong with the 2nd gear switch but i dont know.

It would be great if someone could like direct me over the phone and tell me how to fix these things but if not possible you guys can tell me where i should go and recommend a few places in houston,texas?

Id really appreciate it because this car is like our main car.
