car starting trouble?

ok guys i know alot about cars, but with this im stumped and need your help.

me and my friend drove up, parker the car, went inside for about an hour, and came back out, tried to start the car and it wouldnt turn over.
we did the headlight test and they stayed bright.

so we thought it was the battery because it was about 7 years old, so we tried jumping it, and it didnt work, then we tried charging the battery with my battery charger, and after about 10 min, it tured over with no problem, we let it run for about 15 min, then shut it off, and it wouldnt start back up, but this time the charger wouldnt help at all, so we took it out and bought a new 1, we put the new 1 in and it still wouldnt turn over. so we took the new 1 to napa to get tested and they said it was fine.

i cleaned the terminals, checked the ground, checked the connections, i checked the relays and fuses, checked the coil packs, and spark, i checked the neutral safety switch also. we rented a scan tool, and no codes came up.

i was thinking it was either the started pinions gear not kicking out to make contact with the fly whel, or the fuel pump, but you can hear the fuel pump turn on.

so sombody please help. lol
all the lights light up and turn on, and everything works, but when we turn the key, it tryes to start but wont turn over.

Answer
You know "alot" about cars, huh? Is "alot" the opposite of "alittle"?

Do you know enough to tell us what kind of car you're trying to work on? The engine size? Manual or automatic trans, Mr. Alot?

How did you check for spark if the engine won't turn over? Seems like you don't know as much as you'd like to think you know.

Provide us with some info and we'll be happy to help.

The costs of running a car in the UK?

Darakinsss

Hi everyone :)
I'm 17 and thinking of buying myself a car for after i pass my driving test. i've been told by my grandmother that she will sell me her renault clio as she's planning to get a new car

But i'm wondering how much a car will cost to run

If you have a car, what does it cost you a year to run when you factor in all the costs (insurance, MOT, petrol etc)?

Thanks in advance

Dara xoox

Answer
Two words - very expensive!
Because of your age (your a young and inexperienced driver in the eyes of insurance companies), plus you won't have any 'no claims bonus' yet, your insurance is likely to be very high. Don't be surprised around the £800 mark or more. You have to renew your insurance annually, and you will have the option of paying monthly or the full amount outright. Check out the link below to find how what insurance bracket your car lies in. The lower the number, the cheaper it will be to insure. So if you find a car in insurance cat. 1, then great! I'm sure the older Renault Clio will be a lot higher though.
http://www.parkers.co.uk/insurance/#ig=0

It might actually be cheaper if your grandmother officially keeps registration of the vehicle in her name and insures it in her name (as she has done in the past) with you as an 'added named driver'. If your grandmother is in agreement this could actually save you a lot of money.

Also you have to pay your road tax annually, which for an old Renault Clio will probably be around the £155 mark, but double check that on the link below. All cars are in a different tax band (B, C, D, E.) The lower in the alphabet the better, for your pocket!!
http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/road-tax/

And on top of that, you have to book your car in for a yearly MOT and SERVICE (either together or separately), which will end up costing you a lot too, especially on an older car.

Then you've got to think about petrol/diesel prices, which are through the roof at the moment. A lot of people are struggling to afford to run their vehicle because of the ridiculous running costs. Don't be surprised if there will be more fuel protests sometime in the future.

Don't let all this put you off from driving, because driving is the one thing everyone needs, because it gives you freedom and independence. It's great to be able to drive!! If you can't afford it, ask if your parents/grandparents will help you out, or if they can't afford to, why not get a part time job somewhere at weekends?

Good luck - hope the info has helped!!

P.S. To get insurance quotes register your details with moneysupermarket.com, who will compare insurance company prices (and will take the hard work out of it for you). The search engine will find you the lowest price. See below link...

How do I calculate the cost of Fuel of my Car per Km?

car info parkers image

BarcaGunne

I have a honda civic and i would like to know how much litre of fuel is use for each kilometre.

Thanks

Answer
Use this link
http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/honda/
This will tell you how many miles your car does to the gallon. Select which civic you have, then select the engine size and then click "more info". You will see it tells you a figure for MPG.
Then use these figures to convert gallons/litres and miles/km
1gal=4.5l
1mile=1.6km
Distance/Fuel used=fuel consumption. (fuel consumption is how many miles your car has done with a litre of fuel you put in)
Or you could try using the calculator in the link below

How did people know about "SANDY HOOK" literally a month prior to it?

Maddie

It makes no sense! Use Google, see it for yourself. Also a RIP Viki Soto page was put up three days before, as well as a donation page. The people who set it up promptly removed it December 14th and claim they "made a mistake". Anyone who has questioned it has been banned.

Answer
We know.


1. The police scanner audio. You can hear Adam being identified! How would they know who it is when there was all the confusion about finding Ryan Lanza's ID on Adam? You can also hear officer's calling out to "Take adam's life." -when he conveniently "killed himself"

2. Medical examiner saying all the children were killed with the semi automatic assault rifle with up to 11 bullet wounds each. It was reported those weapons were discovered in the trunk of the car. And does NO ONE remember the news reporting that they set up a "MAKE SHIFT MORGUE" inside the school. This sounds so strange to me!

3.Vicki Soto's RIP page was created Dec 10th!

4.9/11 led way to the war on terrorism. We go to Iraq sayin we're fighting the war on terrorism then drill their oil!? Lol!

5. Aurora & Sandy Hook- look up reference to Sandy hook in the movie. The prop manager (who could have set that up) was killed shortly after in a car accident, when it was originally reported his injuries were not life threatening.

6.Odd behavior of parents interviewed, and their willingness to throw in a comment or two about getting gun control. Inability to actually give details about their children they JUST lost. Robbie Parker is a great example, he didn't know the camera was already rolling.

I could go on , but I need a beer. Anyway, lots of info out there.

I missed the episode, due to vacation. Please, I don't want websites where I can watch previous episodes. I just want a summary of the episode, I saw a question like this, and I can't find it now, so I'm putting my own up. Please, tell me what happens! A complete thing, as much detail as possible, please!

Answer
I still have it on my DVR I will watch it and tell you... here it goes

Starts at the Rock with the girls bickering about whether Sasha will still be mad about Emily messing up at the invitational. Kaylie then shows off the necklace that Carter gave her to Lauren. Lauren has a look of jealousy and you figure she is up to something.
Next, Sasha is talking with a lady (MJ) who seems to be a ex of his. She is there to film the girls who are in the running for nationals. Sasha then looks to the side and sees Emily is training. He goes over to her and asks her what she is doing there. Emily responds and says she is training. Sasha tells her she is no longer allowed to train there because he believes that she is not of the level required to train there. Everyone is surprised that she has been kicked out, minus Lauren.
Next scene involves Emily and Dameon at the Pizza Shack where she tells him that Sasha kicked her out. Emily says in order to convince Sasha, she needs to land the dismount that she missed at the invitational. Dameon tells her he will help her train at the Rock at night. The girls show up and talk to Emily, when Payson's dad shows up delivering beer.
Next scene starts with Payson's parents fighting about the fact that Payson's dad was laid off and didn't tell the family. The two sisters are in there room listening and the younger one tells Payson that this is her fault. Payson has a look of guilt.
Now switches to Kaylie franctically searching for her necklace while on the phone with Lauren who is holding it in her hands while trying to sound slightly concerned about the fact that Kaylie has lost it.
Next, Emily and Dameon are sneaking into the gym when we find out that Dameon can pick locks. They bounce start bouncing on the gym mat and after some playful pushing Dameon falls on top of Emily and they stay there looking into each others eyes, but Dameon stops gets up and picks her up and helps her practice.
Next scene Sasha tells MJ about who he thinks will make it at nationals. MJ brings up Emily and Sasha tells her that although Emily does have raw talent, the fact that she has not had someone to coach her, will keep her from ever trusting him as a coach.
Next, Kaylie and Payson are looking for necklace and Lauren shows up to be a mean person but in a sly way. She brings up how MJ has a cool job and how one of her friends is making millions for Kelly Parker. Payson gets a look in her eyes when she hears this.
Payson comes up to MJ as she is leaving and brings up that she is interested in MJ being her agent in order to help her make money. MJ shows her a binder with info on how she will make her money, Payson accepts and they "seal the deal" with a handshake.
New scene starts with Kaylie in her car crying and Summer showing up and asking her what the problem is. Kaylie tells her she lost her necklace. Summer says she will help her look for it and asks for a description which Kaylie gives. Summer remembers seeing it on Lauren and tells Kaylie that she is sure it will turn up soon.
Next The Keeler family are discussing that there Father will take his old job in Minnessota. Payson says she talked to MJ and how she will make her more money. The parents both say no to this and give reasons why. Payson gets mad and says that they don't believe that she can make it and that is why they are saying now.
Back to Emily and Dameon at the gym. Emily is trying to make her routine harder and adds a new move to it. After one try, she eats it. Second time she gets Dameon to help her by telling her when to flip. She sticks it the second time and Dameon runs up and hugs her. They stare again and after trying for a kiss, Emily says she needs to continue practice.
New scene at the Rock. Emily shows up uninvited nails the trick. Everyone seems impressed except for Sasha. He goes up to her and gives his reasons why he will not take her back. Sasha tells her to move on with her life. Emily leaves.
Next, Emily is running at the park and practicing some flips and other things to some music in the background. (I thought this part of the show was kinda lame, so I fastfowarded it.)
Summer figures out a way of getting Lauren to give back the necklace to Kaylie without actually telling her straightout that she stole it. She then gives her a lesson about how she has to earn a place with her friends and at the gym.
Paysons parents are talking about what they will do about the current circumstances and both agree that Payson taking the sponsorship is not the way.
Next scene is Emily and her mom at the playground sitting on the swings talking. Her mom tells her that she is a strong woman and that eventually everything will cool down and she will be able to go back to the gym. Her mom comes up with a story about how Emily is a "Mighty Mighty Khemetko." Emily says she doesn't want to do that. She says she is tired of fighting and just wants to quit. Her mom says she is not a quitter but says if that is what she wa

Clio hard to start when engine is warm and stalling when idling?

car info parkers image

doidge0uk

Hello

I have a 97 1.2 mk1 renault clio and when the engine is warm like when ive just been to a petrol station it is very hard to start (normaly takes 5 trys).
When I start it up in the morning it is fine and when the car is idleing like at traffic lights it sometimes stalls.
I have tryed cleaning the throttle body and it dident work.

Ive herd it could be the coolant temreture senser or the tdc sener for starting bad when warm and it could be the idle control valve on the throttle body for stalling but the icv is intagrated into the throttle body.

Eny ideas what it could be? or should i just get a diagnbostic?

Thanks
