The car is a '95 Nissan Maxima. Three weeks ago, I replaced it's dead battery for a new one.

Alternator checked out OK.

Got in the thing this morning--and the new battery was completely dead. There wasn't any lights left on; no doors left ajar--and I don't think that even if a dome light was left on all night, it would totally drain the battery as I found it to be.

Not being mechanically inclined when it comes to complex automobile electronics or engines, this problem is a Scooby-Doo mystery I seek help from fellow Yahoo Answerers who have knowlege in auto mechanics and/or electronics.

What possibly be draining the battery like this?

Okay...I have a 1998 Honda Civic DX. This car has many problems but the main one lately is that it has a hard time starting up. At first, it wasn't so bad and it'd start if I gave it a little throttle. I even put in a new battery but that didn't work either. Now today, I tried to start it and it wouldn't go at ALL. Must've tried it at least a dozen times. Any ideas as to why it won't start?

The radio, light etc come on but the car won't start. Could it be the starter? The battery cables are tight and in good condition.

1997 Dodge Caravan, clicking noise from the engine when it is cold or just started. 3L engine could it be sticky valves? What should I do to quiet this irritating sound. Is it a sign of wear?

Instead of me going to a body shop, i was wondering if anyone knew, if there was a cheap way for me to get it out myself. Is there something i can buy at Autozone or some thing. My fiance says that most bofy shops use some kind of liquid to freeze the dent and then i guess it pops out. Someone please help. The dent is very bothersome to my brand new car.

On Bosch style connectors ( retangular 2 wire connector used for injectors etc on many foreign and domestic engines) the connector uses a small "C" shaped "wire" (that clips to the plastic connector )that is constanly missing on cars that we work on. The connector itsself is OK and seems like someone sells just the C shaped wire clip that provides the connector to. I understand I can replace the whole connector but seems foolish for a part that should be available.So far cant find them at any place.

I have a 2005 Duratec Focus with an aftermarket Turbo kit, and the past couple of days I've notice that I have a hesitation after I shift up, and it feels kinda like a really sluggish turbo lag when I shift pretty fast. But when I shift it soft it's ok and it reaches rpm's normaly with normal power. Last night I noticed the smell of fuel while I was driving and wasted 3 gallons in 30 mins, So I popped the hood and found that my fuel rail was missing a bolt and there was fuel all around the first cylinder. Could this be what the problem was?

E-85 is a blend of 85% alcohol with gasoline that is availible where I live (Midwest). I feel that this could be a new trend in engine building, given our current options. I know that my next engine will be built to burn E-85, and I'm looking for some input and technical comments.

My SUV makes what sounds like electricity clicking sounds when I am at a stop with my brakes on, but only in Drive. The sound isn't very loud, but is noticeable with the window rolled down at a drive-thru, but not when windows closed. It also doesn't do it in reverse.
It doesn't affect my driving ability, but it does concern me. My SUV has 108K miles on it and has had a tune up at 98K and shows no codes.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance

I have an 03 chevy tracker the service engine light is on, i took it to the local auto-zone to have it checked and was told the engine was not running at normal temp.
But it is not over heating. Could it be a false reading?
