Presuming the car is front wheel drive, it sounds like the drive shaft, sometimes its ok when cold because of the grease inside is still thick, but as it gets hotter is becomes thinner,grease has good way of silencing things,on the shaft there is a joint called a CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT this allows the shaft to bend whilst rotating (as in cornering) it looks like a cup with a rubber concertina gator on it,check to see if the rubber is split,if so this usualy lets the grease escape and leads to the knocking problem, im afraid the only cure is to replace the entire shaft, if its worse when turning left its usualy the left side thats gone, same goes for the right.
hope this helps

Heat will not work air work fine cannot get heat to come on blow cold air

Check to see if your heater core is stopped up. To do this, start the car and warm up the engine. Turn the heater on and turn the temp up. Raise the hood and locate the two heater hoses on the passenger's side going through the firewall below the windshield. Feel both hoses with your hands. If one is hot and one is cool, then the heater core is stopped up. Turn the engine off and let it completely cool. Disconnect the two heater hoses and blow through one and then the other with an air hose till it is clear. Reconnect heater hoses. If this is not the problem, then listen for a clickin noise behind the dash while the car is running and the heater of air is on.

Trouble starting. cold or hot

What I don't understand is why mechanic said it would be hard starting in cold, if he actually fixed the choke. My guess is that there is still something wrong with the choke. If you pump the pedal 2 or 3 times, then put to floor & let it up slowly, before starting cold, does that help?

Power steering quits after warmup

When the pump heats up it will quit working cause the pump on the inside is not pumping fluid to the rack pinion or your racket pinion is going bad. Have you checked the fluid level?

Starting

Morning, I found your problem...its going to be your fuel pump. Allow me to explain. When you start your car in the morning the car starts just fine. As your driving the fuel pump will eventually get hot. Therefore the circuit cuts off when you turn off for a while then you jump back in to restart the vehicle and it doesn't. The reason is when the fuel pump gets hot it shuts off due to circuit wire inside the pump.
You can almost say like overheating. Therefore your pump is going out. Replaced 7-10 of them in my time as a mechanic. Do yourself a big favor. Don't get a used on or Autozone. Pep boys or Napa will do just fine. Goodluck.

1997 BMW M3 3.2 EVO

Your fuel injection pressure is probably leaking down causing gasoline to leak into the cylinders and resulting in a hard hot starting condition due to "flooding" of the engine. Try holding the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor of the car like your trying to go maximum speed down the highway and crank the engine for 10 seconds or less at a time. That tells your computer to enter the "clear flood" mode and stop injecting gas into the engine. Ask your repair shop to measure the fuel pressure and see if the pressure is bleeding off too rapidly.
