2002 Hyundai Santa Fe was running fine, parked it in the garage, and left an interior light on. The battery ran down. Recharged the battery with an electric charger. Interior and exterior lights, windows, radio, etc., work fine. "Check Engine" light is on. Starter cranks, but engine won't start. Gas tank is full and fluid levels are OK. 31,000 miles on odometer. What's wrong? p.s.: I made the last payment and received the car title in the mail from the bank 2 days ago.

My parents have a 7 year old, 316 BMW, it has under 50,000 miles on the clock and BMW have said that it requires a new gearbox which is to the tune of FOUR THOUSAND POUNDS!!
They bought the BMW around 4 years ago and it has full BMW service history (they too have had it serviced by BMW). They do very little mileage and whilst taking a longer trip, they broke down. On further discovery both 'belts' were frayed and had come off? They hadnt snapped off, they had just come off.
The reason they bought a BMW in the first place is because they (like me) always thought BMWs were reliable, comfortable, long lasting, dependable car etc etc.
Surely a 7 year old car with such low mileage shouldn't be needing a new gearbox?? It just doesnt seem right?? At first they said the problem was something else and that it would cost £800 to fix (that was shock enough) but now they have come back and said this.
Can anyone help please?

I have two related motorcycle questions.

1) When riding, what would happen if you accidentally hit the engine cut-off switch? Intiutively, it would seem as if the bike would seize and throw you (since you can't move the bike in gear when turned off). But, that just seems too dangerous on the highway at 55mph.

2) When riding and you run out of gas, do you need to pull in the clutch while switching to reserve on the fly? It would seem that the bike would seize, as stated above, but the petcock is on the left side of my bike, so I can't really do both while riding.

Thanks in advance.

We have a 94 Ford Econoline Van with 110,000 miles. A few weeks ago we used it to go to a store, and when we came out of the store it wouldn't turn over and start. The engine was getting juice, since the radio played. AAA couldn't start it either, and towed it to a garage. The garage went ahead and did the annual inspection on the van, and said it started fine for them. They kept it for two days, and said they never had a problem starting the engine. Well, here we are a month later, and one of my kids just called to say he's stranded in the van since the same thing has happened again. The garage suggested we get it towed to them again. Any ideas? My kid says he turns the key and the radio comes on, but the engine is completely dead.

Anyone know what the outcome of pouring transmission fluid into the gas tank? My boyfriends truck got egged and had what appears to be transmission fluid poured into his gas tank. He opened his gas cap and its all red now. His truck is shot and now he has to buy a new vehicle. Can anyone tell me what the gasoline may look like. We have a sample. Any help would be good. The police are not doing anything about it.

The truck was starting and idling hard, the whole entire engine shakes and it sounds like it's misfiring. He hooked it up to a diagnostic machine, nothing is reading. Now he can't even start it. He thinks that 2 of the 4 cylinders are busted. He also thinks that something may have gotten in the header. He had a mechanic look at it, he told him that it would about $2000. They would have to start at the tank and follow the system to the front and figure out what got in it.

We love to wakeboard, waterski, but also love exploring. So what's your favorite Lake to do all of the above? Mine is probably Lake Powell in Arizona/Utah. But the water has been so low, I'm looking for new spots.
