My parents car is about a 1990 model. It is a Mazda. This morning it would not start so I tried to give it battery from my car. The car still would not start.
It is now on my parents driveway and when they attempt to start it, you can hear it trying and then it makes a "boom" sound. They don't have road side assistance so they are trying to figure out what it wrong and fix the problem themselves, my dad is pretty handy. Any suggestions on what the problem could be? They only ever drive it around town so it has low mileage and looks great.

The fuel guage has no litres marking except Empty mark. It is difficult to know whetehr you have 5 ltrs or 8ltrs or 15 before you plan your trip or whether the gas station has filled in the fuel correctly. The system seems to be poorly designed. Has any one calibrated the guage, like 3marks from E is say 5 ltrs or 12`o clock positon is 14ltrs m 11`oclock position 8ltrs etc?? OR has any one fitted a digital guage[meter] for the fuel level reading??
