The battery, alt, and starter/solenoid all are good. Clicks once at solenoid when start attempt is made, then nothing. Want to know best possible route to go next - ignition? neutral safety switch? or relay? All access is tough in this one - don't want to chase ghosts. Also attempted neutral start - no luck.

This is a very recent problem to an older model in good running order otherwise. Anyone with this experience care to share or some helpful auto DIY'ers or techs tips will be appreciated.

I have an 07 S40 with only 2000 miles and it backfires everytime I slow down without pulling the clutch in (so when I let off the gas without shifting). The salesperson said it is due to the single cylinder, is this correct or is there something bigger going on?

I just bought a 97 dodge avenger for 1000, but it has some problems. When i first turn the car on white smoke starts to come out from little to alot. then when im driving around the city it smokes but not too much, in the highway it doesn't do it at all. What could be the problem? also, the seller, told me that i had to add oil like every 3 weeks. i dont know if there is an oil leak . i dont know whats going on?? is the oil and the whit smoke has to do with something i just find it weird to add new oil every 3 weeks. what could be wrong with my car?? also how much do you think all the repair is going to cost me...

Oh, i have a friend at my school that's taking Auto Tech3 and he said he thinks that it could be the head gasket .. oil going to the combustion chamber and producing the white smoke. he knows alot about cars, should i trust him and let him try to fix it? please give me an answer thanks.

This is a 460 big Block Ford from 1970. I thought it was a stuck lifter causing my pushrod to bend, but it is not, the intake valve is stuck (spring almost completey compressed). Any suggestions for freeing? I am tapping on the valve stem with a mallet, I am also trying to pry the spring up. I have it soaking in penetrating oil right now. Anyway of doing anything through the spark plug hole?

How do you time a Big Red 200 ES? Are there timing marks somewhere? And what do you set it at?

When I bought the bike it didn't smoke, however, it now smokes when cold and when going up hills when the engine is warm (white smoke, not blue). On reflection, the bike's 2 stroke oil tank was empty when i got it, but since having it serviced and the tank filled up it is smoking away happily... any liquid fix or simple mechanical cure?! It was built in 1993 so it is getting on. Thanks

My mom has a 2001 honda crv that got hit on the drivers side which caused damage to the hood, bumper and something in the wheel that makes a the suv unable to go beyond 5 mph. No broken windows, no damage to tire or wheel, no damgage that the eye can see where you would think the car is broken.

The hood is bent in slightly and the hinge is broken where the hood is attached to the body. No leakages of any kind and the rest of the suv looks brand new. What causes the honda to stop operating?

I don't really know anything about leasing but I do know that I am the type to get bored of a car very quickly and would probably never keep a car 5 years to pay it off. I would like to look into leasing options.

What are the differences between leasing and buying and what are some pro's and con's?

I went for an oil change about 10 days ago. My oil light came on and my car stalled. When I had it towed to the nearest auto station, they told me my car did not have a filiter. What went wrong? My engine was damaged and now it is sitting in the shop where I had the oil change done. They told me that their insurance company has to come and investigate. Are they at fault? How does a filter just "fall off"? HOw can I get this resolved? Are they responsible for repairng/getting me a new engine

Alright here is the deal, this Monday i got pulled over by this idiot cop who gave me a speeding ticket for going something like 8-10 mph over...I'm 17 going on 18 and have had my license for about a year and a half or longer. I have had no prior tickets, violations, ect. It was a 75 dollar fine which im paying....but im really worried about my insurance, my parents pay it, and i havn't told them about the ticket, im just going to pay it...so my question is...will they notice a dramatic change in my insurance rates? for one speeding ticket? oh and also, i live in idaho...i know these things vary by state.

It usually runs very well it only started to do this a few days ago. Whenever i start to slow to a stop or take my foot off of the gas it starts to bog down like it wants to die but as soon as i stop in full the idle picks back up to normal. I have no idea what it could be so anyone that can help please let me know.

For anyone who own a Sienna AWD, do you find your tires wear out more serious than other cars? In average, how many miles you need to change the tires? I plan to buy one but consider if the tire wearing cost too much. Thanks!
