The battery of my Toyota Camry died. I purchased one of those Instant Jumpstarting Power Station things (like this one, I think: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INSTANT-JUMPSTARTING-POWER-PRO-PWR-STATION_W0QQitemZ160045110742QQcmdZViewItem)

The instructions stay connect the black negative clamp to the engine block, cylinder head or other heavy stationary metal engine part?

What does that mean? How do I know what is the engine block, cyliner head or other heavy stationary metal engine part? Help!

Thanks!

the choke does not want to disengage even after the car is heated up it usually will disengage after about 30 min of driving the carb is a quadrajet, anyways i was thinking, if i just change the choke pull off then maybe the problem will go away but i just need some reassurance from other people

I dont want sirius because I find their content boring. I want XM, and I want the best sound quality available because Im into loud music/car audio. Will I be able to directly connect Xm to my radio, and have it display on my JVC head unit, instead of a tuner, and just get the little antenna thing/box? IF not, can I get a plug and play? Lastly, will it use my subs? I want the best quality available,and I want it to play through my subs

So I'm leaving the grocery store and out of a parking place pulls a 1983 Honda Prelude with 7 Mexicans in it, and they hit my Jeep. I called the police, but they said they could not do anything because it was on private propery. They told me they could not speak English, but I heard them whispering to each other in English. I asked for their insurance card, by showing them mine and going through some of their documents and called their insurance and they said it was fake. I also wrote down the name and address of the owner listed on the title, but they do not even exist. My Jeep is going to require repairs of 4,000. What should I do? All answers welcome.

truck will turn over a revolution , or maybe a bit more , then the turning over of the engine comes to an abrupt stop. The engine can be turned backward by hand , then the same thing happens all over again. I did pull the belt off , thinking possibly the air pump or an idler pully was froze shut ,(not the case). Any sugestions ?

OK previously posted a question because my vehicle wouldnt start. Problem is: new battery, turn key and engine wont start and there is NO clicking (from starter) like you normally get from a dead battery. Thought it was bad starter or solenoid so took them off (they are built together) and had auto zone test them.... tested good. Have been told it could possibly be ignition coil, or more likely, the neutral safety switch.

OK, so my question is where and how do i go about testing the neutral safety switch? 96 chevy v6 4.3 manual transmission. I have one of those mechanic books for my vehicle, but it doesnt mention the switch, and so far i cant find any helpful info on internet. Thought i would pose the question here and get a jumpstart on my research before i go poking around in my vehicle. Thanks for any help!

i have a 92 300 honda fourtrax 2wd atv. when i purchased the atv someone had tried to weld the shifter lever back dn where it had broken off. i replaced the shifter shaft with a new one and also replaced the ratchet,the gear drum and pretty much everything from the end of the shifter drum. it seemed to ratchet and work fine while jacked up in the air but after putting the side cover back on and starting the machine it grinded when trying to shift it finally went into gear and is now stuck it will not shift up or down. i tried adjusting the clutch screw that is located on the right hand side but didnt seen to make any difference. has anyone worked on one of these that could give me some insight on what do do? it would be greatly appr. thanks

I just purchased a used 06 cobalt automatic (did not come with an owners manual) and the wife ran something over and smashed to tranny pan and is leaking. I know there is no dip stick but i did find the filler hole. After I replace the pan how much fluid should it take to fill the tranny.

I was told it was normal for a 5.4 to tick when its cold, was told its the piston skirt. As soon as it warms up it goes away, I told the mechanic I thought it was a lifter and he says its the piston skirt. He said its normal for a 5.4 with 85,000 or more miles to do this.
