That means it has a miss. Either you need new spark plugs, wires, or a bad coil. Make sure all the spark plug wires are on all the way.

2006 Expedition ran great, parked over night, would not start, battery checked Okay

See if you can jump start the car from another battery which is sound. If you can then the battery you have is rubbish and must be replaced.

I have a 2006 Nissan Xterra that is a standard transmission. Recently, a screw fell out of the clutch (common problem apparently with this model). Last night, I was leaving the grocery store and was...

thats one hell of a common problem for parts to be coming out of the clutch, if the problems did not start before the clutch lost a screw or bolt i would have to say that the missing clutch is most of your problem. if the clutch slips you will have a lack of power you tell this buy starting off in 1st gear give it some gas to get it going then give it alot of gas if the motor revs up and the car does not gain speed as fast then your clutch has issues.

My 2001 tahoe dies while idling in park. After waiting over night it started and ran fine until allowed to idle in park for a short time. This a 2001 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.3 liter engine and 160,000 miles.

If the only problem is idle and it runs grat above ide then the most likely component is the Idle Air Control valve. This is providing you have no codes stored indicating something else.
