My car (Maruti 800) had a difficult time at the ignition. I guess, I had not refilled water in the battery for some time. Someone told me, may be a cell is weak. I took it to have it recharged. The mechanic who recharged it for a day or more, digitally confirmed the charge as okay (he me told battery charge was not very low) and also topped it with acidified water.

I proceeded reconnect the cables to both sides of the battery. There was small wire with a small ring at the tip, which together I fastened on the positive side. Immediately, there were sparks and smoke coming out, and I quickly removed out the cable. The small wire had insulation had burned soft I felt. I tried starting my car with the cables on (without the small wire on the positive side), but there is no sound and no life. Please help.

Assuming you burn an entire full tank of gas. So it would take a while. Would you do damage to the engine? Overheat?

Is it okay to put in synthetic oil on a high milage engine (124,600 miles) Its for my Lumina with 3.1L V6. Will this oil make the engine get better fuel economy? will it run better? or should I just keep puting in regular oil. I have heard the 3.1L and 3.4L engines seem to run better with the synthetic.

I have had Volvos, Camrys, a VW bug, a Chevy truck, a Taurus, Civic, even a Peugeot, The reviews seem to feel all of these are not what they once were. Subaru gets top scores? Torn between a wagon and sedan, Still have 1 boy at home just driving now, but this will be my car. Maybe ready for a bit of luxury. And does Ford now make Volvo?

I was just curious if front side air bags could cause a serious injury. Seeing how they eject at fast speeds coming at the side of your head, it just doesn't seem logical how it doesn't. anyone know?
