Cars & Transportation - 23 May 2007

I'm looking to order/purchase a 2008 Nissan Xterra and I'd like to do some research (pricing, options, new features, etc). Anybody KNOW when this information will be released? Thanks!

My battery is fully charged tested). The alternator works (car battery stays fully changed), the starter works (car starts if I jump start it). My car will start with a jump start, but won't turnover without one. The battery terminals are secured tightly.

Does anyone have any ideas of why this is the happening? The voltmeter and my battery changer both say the battery is at full strenght.

Anyone who can answer this question is truly a car guru.

I have a 2000 Dodge stratus, and I noticed that when Iam idle at a stop light or a stop sign, I feel a strong vibration on the steering wheel, and I can see the passenger side outside mirror vibrating too. I don't feel it when the car is in park but in drive at idle it does it. What could this vibration be??

I have a 2002 chevy malibu. and i recently brought a used rds radio from another malibu. But when the battery is off the radio works, when its hooked up it locks. And somebody told me you have to unhook the radio then try to get 2 sets of 3 digit codes but how can i, if the radio doesn't lock when disconnected. And Chevy wants to charge me $85-$130 to fix. I know its a simple problem. i just don't know what to do.

I have a 98' Grand Am GT 3.1L V6 with 88k miles. As of this afternoon, the engine turns over but will not start. The engine is getting gas but no spark at any of the three coils. I don't think all three coils would go bad at the same time so I suspect the Ignition Control Module or a Camshaft Position Sensor may be bad.

Is there anyway I can test the ICM or CPS with a meter? (Called Autozone and they can't test it. The Chilton book has no information about testing the ICM or CPS, only details how to take out and replace).

The car had a full maintainence (new plugs, new wires, fluids changed, new filters all around) less than 1000 miles ago and was running great up until it wouldn't start this afternoon.

GAS BUDDY can let you know...
http://www.gasbuddy.com/
enter your City, State or Zip Code and find the cheapest gas stations in your area.
(Note: some areas of the U.S. and Canada don't have "spotters" who report the prices but, most do)

Let us know...
1) where you are located and
2) the price of REGULAR gas you found to be cheapest.

Oh, and you can RANT about the high price of gas if you like.

just for fun, i decided to roll to a dealer in salem that just happened to have 3 different 'flavors' of the ninja. the 250, 500, and the 650r. the 250 would be passable, but the left bar would graze my left knee in a full lock turn, the 500 was spot on for the most part.
what i cant figure out is: with a redline of about 13,000 rpm, and a max speed read-out of 130 mph.....isnt this ninja-250 fast enough? or is it just that u'd rather wipe out at 180 mph so u can get a closed casket funeral....and in enough pieces to need a small box.

My original off-the-shelf shock/spring configuration was 12kg in the front and 14/kg in the rear. I recently revalved my rear shocks so that I can use 20kg springs. I've been told the revalve also provides stiff "autocross" valving. Do I _need_ to revalve the fronts to provide the same stiff valving or is it suffcient to leave it alone?

I was involved in an accident. 3 cars were stationary sitting at a light waiting to turn right. The 4th car (17 year old ) no license, permit only, no one in the car with him, no insurance hits me from behind. The impact was great enough his air bags went off. This pushed me into another vehicle. This vehicle left the scene of the accident. The vehicle also hit another vehicle in front of them. Out of the 4 cars I was the only one that carried insurance. I did retrieve the license plate number of the guy that left the scene. The police stated they would check it out. Upon receiving the police report they said they didn't have enough investigators to take care of a job like this. So this guy has gone free. The one that hit me a $445 fine for no ins. and no license. The vehicle in front $295 for no insurance. My questions are:
Am i liable for all these vehicles?
What is the penalty for a hit and run?
By the way this was in the state of Texas.

I'd like to get my motocycle license, but will be moving from the US to the UK sometime in the next few months. If I get my license in the US, will it be recognized in the UK? Will I have to go through additional testing in the UK?

Thanks!
