Your radio and most of your accessories will still work with a low charged battery. The clicking sound you are experiencing is most likely from a low charged battery not giving enough amperage to the starter. Were you able to start the car after getting a boost? If so, then it is your battery. Does your car cut out while driving? If so, then it is your alternator (device that charges your battery while the car is running). It is either the battery or alternator.

2005 DODGE CARAVAN STALLS OUT AFTER YOU FILL IT UP WITH GAS

When filling the tank, stop filling when the pump clicks off. It sounds like you are overfilling the tank getting gas onto the built in evaporator.

Just stop filing when pump clicks off.

Saturn 2000 SC1 failed emission test high NOX, put new spak plug & wires, new air filter, changed oil and added injector cleaner to tank, anything else I should do to pass the Emission test. Thanks

I'd change fuel filter, get it low on fuel. Add a bottle of rite aid 100% rubbing alcohol. Nothing fancy. Nothing scented or colored.

Add it and fill up your tank of gas.

I've done this with old cars and trucks.

Most recent was my 77 for highboy. Emmissions guy said it's emmissions were lower then most cars he saw! Let alone and old crappy ford.

If it were my car I'd drive it hard the whole way there. This may or maynot break loose carbon buildup in your cats, which will also help. By drive hard I mean higher Rpm then usuall. Don't race it, or drive dangerous. Just trying to get *** much pressure buildup in the exhaust to knock some of that **** out of there.

( been building cars for 10 years daily. You'd be suprised what little things will do to help) goodluck to you.

I just want to ask , my friend have a problem with he's saturn s-series 2001, the problem is it is really hard to start we just only hear a click noise so we decide to change the starter, but i just...

Alot of the time the anti theft security can actually disable your starter. Check to see if there is a light on the dash that says SECURITY or a little picture of a car with a lock thru it. This would be a dead give away of the security problem. Check out this link for info and DO IT YOURSELF solutions to this problem.

Car is putting at an idle when gas is pressed runs smoothly

sounds like either you have 2 of the wires crossed.........one is loose....probably #1 or your #1 plug needs regapped or is not tight and losing seal....all will cause a misfire and set the check engine light
