Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

I was waiting for my sister in the car, the engine is on and then the car suddently broke down. At first I thought my car ran out of oil, but then I fill in the oil, it still wouldn't start. So I checked the engine oil, and it's kind of empty. So I go get the engine oil, but it still wouldn't start! Then my friend came, and he tried replacing the battery with his car's battery. The car still wouldn't start! So it's not the oils and battery's fault. But then we tried using the jumper. And again, it still wouldn't start! What could go wrong?

The cables are the "bolt-on " type ( not clamp ) When the key is turned on, there is a click-click-click sound with the instrument panel lights going on and off. The garage mechanic has told me the battery and alternator are ok. Could the starter motor be bad? ( I want to rule out faulty battery connections first ). Thank you.

I have a 95 Taurus. Bought in Jan 07. Worked fine, then it started stalling on me today. Drove it like 50 miles, then on the way home, it was trying to be sluggish. Then I tried to give it gas, and it wouldn't go. Then it putted, and knocked lightly, and stalled. Happened yesterday also. Tried to restart, and it did, but only for a second. Sounded like it was revving up and putting, revving up and putting. Then it stalled out. I started pushing it home, and about half way there, it started again and drove the rest of the way home (Approx 3 blocks) it acted fine.
Could you tell me what is going on and what I need to fix it??? Thanks in advance.

Allright, my car was having problems with the cooling fan. It would always come on because of a rigging that the previous owner did. I figured something was either wrong with the temperature sensor or the relay for the fan because the guy i bought it off of bypassed both of them and ran the fan directly to the fuse box so it was alwasy on no matter what the temperature of the car was. this weekend i replaced the temperature sensor and the relay thinking that the fan would work properly. I also thought that it would fix the problem of the non-working temperature gauge on the dashboard. Well, needless to say the temperature gauge on the dashboard still doesnt work and the car doesnt quite seem like its running up to par. I was wondering where i can find a new temperature gauge for the dashboard. I was also wondering what else could be causing my fan to turn on at the wrong times. If anyone can help me with this that would be GREAT!!! thanks in advance.

my little red truck isnt quite red in some parts. The hood and the roof for example seem to be duller and not as red than the rest of my paint. Im not sure but i think it might have been the tree sap from the trees were i usually park it. Can this be solved with waxing it or will it end up really shiny with two different colors, red and light red?

i have the ability and patience to wash, polish and wax cars as well as clean it from the inside, but the problem is im not perfect for example if a customer would give me a car with a scratch in it or swirl marks i will probably not be able to fix that but i can make the car much cleaner and a hell of a lot more shiney than they gave it to me. also i will not be able to clean the engine because i am afraid of messing anything up. all these things besides the fact that im a teen are keeping me from starting a small car detailing business, so i was wandering what do you think should i, should i not? oh and btw if i were to start one i was thinking of charging only $30 per car due to the fact that im not as good as the pro's which charge any where from 100-500.

And, why might the rear light (light) on the dash come on even though the rear lights have been tested and stay on all the time? And, what maintenance should be looked into with that many miles on the car? I just bought the car.
