I have a 1992 Toyota Previa Van which is maintained on a regular basis. When I turn the ignition now nothing happens. It made a pop sound the first time. The headlights work fine. Could it be an electrical problem possibly?

We were rear-ended. Our insurance company is saying we have to pay $ 500. deductible. Is that right shouldn't it be her insurance company pay?

Hey, I recently had a new engine installed to my car. My car is a 95 Dodge Intrepid, the engine is a V6 3.5. Well, I noticed shortly after I got the car back with the new engine, I had a gas leak. It seemed like a pretty bad one too because the gas gage was going down rather quickly and I was leaving tire tracks (gas tracks). I had some buddies who are pretty "car smart" take a look to find the leak and to my surprise, it was coming from the ENGINE! I was told a good chunk of the bottom of the engine was covered in gas. Do you guys have any idea what the problem could be? Could this be a major issue?

I'd like to generally understand what makes a car work and be able to do some smaller repairs on my own, like fix a broken timing belt and things like that.

i went and got a card rebuild kit for the 1 barrel rochester carb on my 64 corvair. the pic an parts for the rebuild vary just a little as far as internal parts. now the kit is for more than one model of this carb. so is the pic a "general" like a car manual... and alter the replacement to match what was found in the begining... or do i have a problem?

I have lived in the mid-south all of my life, and while it gets cold and sometimes snows here, its never been below double digits in my lifetime. However at the end of October I am moving up north to south central Michigan, and I KNOW it will be cold up there! Is there anything I need to do to ensure my car can make it through the winter? It will be parked outside daily. (no garage)
Someone mentioned I'd need an antifreeze that could withstand even colder temperatures....but is there anything else?
Much appreciated!!

Some suggest that G.M. -- which says it invested some $1 billion in the EV1 -- never really wanted the cars to take off. They say G.M. intentionally sabotaged their own marketing efforts because they feared the car would cannibalize its existing business. G.M. disputes these claims.

I hope to build with composîte wood or another type, not sure, but will have ribs on the inside of the boat.I think these are called chines. Anyway I want this boat to be lightweight enough to take off the back of a truck without too much trouble and then put into the water.I would like to use a small motor on this boat as well. My main use though is to use this boat for fishing.
