cHECK FOR LOOSE SPARK PLUG OR AN EXHAUST LEAK. IF THIS IS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWERBRAKE IT WHILE SOMEONE LOOKS TO LOCATE.

all cars are designed to use a minimum octane rating of 89,(regular)
but if your car is computer controlled you may find it runs better on the higher grade(fill tank/check miles on odometer,do this a minimum of 5 times to check yourself as driving styles WILL effect mpg)

There is a drain plug on the lower front of the maxima transmission housing. Unscrew it, drain the old fluid out, replace and retighten the plug. Then, refill the transmission with the same amount of new fluid as old fluid you removed, pouring it through the dipstick tube, with a funnel.

If it's brown like a chocolate milkshake, then there is coolant in the oil. Otherwise it's likely dirty and needs to be changed. Hope this helps.

Could be a sensor, or the car could be out of time, watch running it like that, you will burn the valves.

I am assuming your fans are working, if not check the fuses. Since the fans are working then there is a themostat sensor that has gone bad

you will need to put a volt meter across the battery terminals.
just over 12v engine stopped.
13.5-14v engine running.
if you get the 13.5 then the car is charging.
batteries sometimes only last 1-2 years, so if it is older than 2 years, that may be the only problem

Check headlight's fuse and relay respectively.
Also check headlight connector's ground and power.

The click was the starter solenoid, first sign that it could go out any time, you might want to think about replacing it, more so with your second line of work, good luck.

go back to the dealership or the company that you got the system from cause it probobly needs to be reprogramed.... its just like a P.C... you have to run a anti virus every now and then..... i hope this helps buddy

voltage problem make sure you battery has been recharge and in good condition give the starter a few light taps on the caseing while you get help to turn the key if it works after a few taps maybe faulty NEW part it happens

The following steps will stop making damn smokes...

1. Step 1 Clean off your engine and engine compartment. Automotive supply stores sell products you can use to clean out the engine. Follow the directions, and let your engine dry off.
   
2. Step 2 Jack the car up with the car jack. Make sure you are on a level surface, and follow the directions for the jack.
   
3. Step 3 Look closely at your oil filter and the rest of the engine. If you see any drips of oil, try to follow the trail. Typically this type of leak comes from a missing or loose gasket. These are easily replaced, and will eliminate the smoking. If you do not see any oil drips, continue on.
   
4. Step 4 Dust your engine liberally with foot powder. Don't worry, this will not harm your engine. You are trying to create a path for the oil to travel, to make it easier for you to find.
   
5. Step 5 Drive your car on a clean, dry street for a mile or two, and return to your level surface.
   
6. Step 6 Jack your vehicle up again, and look for the trail. If you see a trail, follow it. Again, this could be due to a seal or tubing, both of which are fairly simple to replace. Consult an automotive manual for information on this. If you find what looks like an oil spray, or severe loss of oil, you have a much larger problem, such as a manifold or head gasket problem
   
7. Step 7 If you have one of the larger problems regarding an oil leak, take your vehicle to a trustworthy mechanic. Problems of this nature can become chronic if they are repaired incorrectly
