I drove my truck for about an hour. Turned it off for 5 min and when i went to start it back up the aux lights turned on and right as i would expect to hear the starter kick in everything went completly dead. I checked the battery leads and all the fuses i knew about. Is there a main fuse or something like that between the battery and starter??

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When you put your foot a the gas there is a popping sound coming from the air filter? It act like it wants to die but if you take your foot off the pedal it will stay running. Tried to pass a another car and had no power? Had to drive 30 mph.

Because the gas is to rich and that I have to much gas flow.
I don't understand what all this means. can someone explain to me what I can do, what I'm not doing right, or what's going on with my car I'm ready to just get rid of it. This car is just costing me alot of money on gas alone. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I'm curious whether this is a common practice, especially in dealerships. Maybe I'm too cynical, maybe not.

I didn't want to say "fart smell" but that's what it basically smells like! I have an 04 Toyota Corolla with 73K miles on it. Lately I've noticed a smell coming from it. Don't know what it is? Could be the transmission fluid?

To spare my brakes going down this one hill, I put it in 2nd (2) and coast down at a nice comfortable 30mph. I'm under the impression that this is engine braking, same as on a stick, and that (1-2-3) on an automatic is designed for this (and towing)...am I wrong? And either way, is there any danger to my car by doing this regularly (not quite daily)? I'm driving an '01 Impala. Thanks.

I sanded metal body panels with like 80 grit sand paper with an air sander and there are scratches in the metal. Will like 3 coats of primer cover them or do i have to cover them with glaze?

Full tune up performed (and I mean FULL) and I still have a misfire. Can an exhaust leak cause a misfire?

I have acquired a used '98 Ford Ranger pick-up and after getting the registration and tags all straight, I go to drive it and the engine won't start! Haha...So I borrowed a battery charger, put some gas in it b/c I know it has been sitting for awhile with no fuel. It's charging up right now, I want to know before I cause a problem, CAN I START THE ENGINE (OR TRY TO) WHILE IT'S CHARGING? I don't want to ruin anything or hurt myself! Thanks, quick replies appreciated!

The door is an aluminum door I believe. The dent isn't accessible from the back! The dent is on a "fold" of the garage door, so it is split between the two panels. Help!
