I have a 1994 Buick Regal Gran Sport, and it sometimes don't start. When I put the key in the ignition.. I can hear my ignition trying to start the car.. but none of the motor components move. For the last two days my car hasn't started. I went to get the battery tested, and while doing so.. they tested the starter and altenator. Is it possible for the starter to test good and yet stick?

Hi i have a kawasaki GT550 1992 which has developed an oil leak on the base gasket which i would like to cure.
The proper way to do it would be to take apart the top end of the ngine and replace all the gaskets and rebuild it. BUt it will cost me £56 in gaskets!!.
So i was wandering if anyone knows of an engine additive that will sealer minor oil leaks, or some old-timer tip that will cure the leak simply.??????

Do replated exhaust pipes discolor more easily than those plated by the manufactures? I have replated a set of LA Choppers and they have discolored faster and more severely than any I have had before. they were plated at South Bay a good shop but I am wondering if maybe there's no way to match a manufactures plate job.

It runs pretty great, has like 127,000 mi. I've had it ten years, and have never neglected any problems that arose. Changed oil, filters etc. religiously. But I'm starting to get nervous as its my only vehicle, I've deliberately quit a stressful corporate job and now making very little $$. In my current job I'm having to put a lot of stop and go miles on it, which distresses me.
This truck is a longbed, I use it to haul mulch, dogfood and the like, (not that often) but I wish it were a little smaller. Don't think I could afford any monthly payment on a new car. I feel loyalty to this Silverado. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?? Sorry for the lengthy question on what seems like a trivial matter....

Intermittent no start for the last 21/2 years.The engine doesn't turn over and all i get is a click or a delay of 1 to 2 seconds before it will turn over when key in start.i had a coolant leak that was spraying over - and + battery cables.I have a man. trans and the last time i brought it in i wrote up a list for them to check which includes: 1) Check for broken, loose or disconnected wires in the starting circuit. Inspect all wires and connectors at the battery, starter solenoid and igition switch (on the steering column) 2) Bad starter solenoid 3) Bad starter motor 4) Bad ignition switch 5) Starter motor jammed in flywheel ring gear(inspect pinion and flywheel).They replaced the remanufactured starter with another and i still get the intermittent no start.I went to a junk yard and found a newer interlock relay and replaced it only to find it wasn't a bad relay. What should i do different this time when i bring it in to them? They are ASE and have trusted them for 15 yrs bring it

i had a anti freeze leak an thought i was the water pump it wasn't but i located the source but not sure what it is it's located back by the firewall about the middle of the engine down about the engine block there is a orange wire or cord coming from it, it's round and seems embedded in the side of the engine it seems like the old frost plugs of yesteryear if it is a frost plug should a professional replace it or should it be easy for me to replace it.
