Quote: Well, the Dart is back up on jack stands again. My mom came up to me this morning telling me I have a flat tire on the front passenger side (which was a brand new tire). I go, lift the car up, put it on the stand, take the wheel off and check it for any punctures or to see if the tire fell off the beads. It all seemed fine. I take it to my super tiny, portable car compressor I got from my Aunt for Christmas (that requires a 12V plug-in, Thank you Aunt!) and pump the tire up. It was extremely slow to pump up and then I found out that the little valve stem has a leak. So now I'm assuming I need a new wheel... Definitely not a lovely way to start off my morning. Especially since I have homework and a lab to complete.
You shouldn't need a new wheel. Just have someone pop a new valve stem in it. Should cost a total of $5. Or if you know someone with a tire machine, it'll cost you whatever a new stem is at Auto Zone. Pop the bead, replace the stem, fill it back up.
Yeah, after a quick search I found that it's a pretty cheap fix.
