Car Won’t Start Just Clicking Noise

Hi, I have a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT. When I try to start my car all I get is a clicking sound. Can you tell me what this could possibly be? The lights and the radio are working so I don’t know if it’s the battery or not.

I recently drove to California in my 05 Altima and everything was running fine. All of a sudden (about 3-4 weeks later after arrival), my car just shut itself off in mid transit.

Car Engine Just Cranks Over

I own a 1998 Chevy Blazer with 19,500 original miles. The car has given me problems since day one of purchase in June 1999. Here is the problem I am currently attempting to correct: The car will run for three or four days then will not start again for a long period of time. The hand-held computer diagnostic check continues to refer to the oxygen sensor. I just replaced two oxygen sensors this past Saturday on either end of the catalytic converter.

My question is pretty simple I think. Last night I
had the unfortunate experience of striking a deer

Car Engine Back Fire In Carburetor – Timing Chain Broken?

My question is, is there an easy way to decide if a 1974 F250 390 motor needs a new timing chain or not? I’ve replaced the battery, battery cables, solenoid, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and starter. All it does if backfire through the carburetor. If you turn the distributor cap in any direction, it dies. Can you please help me?
