Our local Mercury dealer is hardly open.So I'm asking here.Why would the lower spark plug drip some water?We had it started,then it killed and when plug was taken out some water dripped out.Any ideas? It's a 1980 something Mercury boat motor.

Just bought a 2000 883 and it was in the rain yesterday. I drove it to the garage. This morning I tried to start it and no go. Initially the head light was on but when I hit the start button, I got a click/clunk (like a stuck starter motor). The headlight went off and the rest of the bike is dead. At the 30 amp breaker, if I remove the 4 fuses, I have 12 volts. Insterting any fuse and I lose the 12v, remove it and I get the 12V back. Any ideas would be great. Oh, it seems if I wait awhile I get the headlight back but the same deal repeats.

Number one reason why people fear getting stuck in an elevator is suffocation, so why can't they just add some holes somewhere so you could breathe.

Lots and lots of things - need someone EXPERIENCED who knows to please answer this question for me!

How do I pay for the car? Wire transfer? Money order?
How does title transferring work? What do I have to do?
Where do I go to register my car? Or pay tax on it?
I know I have to get it inspected after I get it. What do I ask for? An inspection?
What else do I need to do?

I have so many more questions but I can't think of them all.
I need someone to please walk me through the entire process, every little detail. This is my first car buying experience and I am so nervous.

Thank you!

have a Camry whose check engine light has been coming on for several months. after thousands of work replacing parts, it kept coming back on.

recently replaced the battery because the car wouldn't start and the battery tested 50% or so. since the replacement the light has not come on again.

so could the battery have caused the check engine?

I sheared my shaft! In order to replace it, I have to know how long it is... All of my documentation for the boat tells EVERYTHING about the shaft except how long it is. The engine is a universal 5411 diesel.

I have a Dodge Durango now. I hate it. It is so bad on gas. I want a suv with a third row (I have 3 kids that can't get along all in one row). I don't want a mini van and I don't want something huge that is just as bad on gas as what I have now. I am kind of leaning towards a Nissan Pathfinder. Anyone have any good or bad advice?
