Sounds like you may have a bad ground. If you have changed the original battery cable ends, the chassie ground wire may not be attached or may have a bad connection. there should be a wire that attachs to the negative cable and goes to the chassis. sometimes they are bolted to the fender well. Another thing you may want to check is the ground wire from the engine block to the battery or chassis.

When does it mean when your dog a sick?
It means you should take your dog to be checked out by a Veterinarian immediately if your dog is acting ill.
Why does a 98 Nissan Sentra auto 1.6L stutter and die once or twice a month while otherwise running perfectly?
This type of problem is very hard to find since you can really check it out while it is acting up.Clean the batery cables amd clean and tighten all of the ground wires you can find on the engine. Spray spark plugs and wires with WD40. Good luck
Why might a 1995 Nissan Altima sputter during acceleration and have black smoke coming from the tailpipe?
Have you checked the air filter? Clear the codes using the method described in the owners manual, drive the vehicle and see what codes come back. The air flow sensor can be acting up because the air filter or air supply is restricted.

If your dog is crying a lot there is probably something wrong with it and you should take it to your veterinarian to have it checked over.
Can it be because of the alternator that your check engine light is on How much is it to change the alternator?
No, the check engine light does not mean that your alternator is bad. My alternator went out in my cavalier and there were no warning signs until the car started to die on me. the gages, wiper blades(I was using them at the time) and radio were all acting funny-fading and turning on and off. Finally it quit and wouldn't turn over. Had to be towed to mechanic and they replaced alternator with a new one for about $280.00. You can get a rebuilt one, they cost less and it's even better if you know someone who can replace it for you.

Why do the drivers side parking lights not work but the passenger side do on a 1998 dodge caravan The reverse and directionals work on the drivers but not the parking lights.?
Aha, another one! Yes, our '99 caravan is acting the same way. I have checked the bulbs and fuses, both checked good. I even checked the wires with a volt meter. No power is getting to the bulb sockets.
What can cause a 96 Jeep Cherokee to lose power?
Did you check the Crank position sensor , its a pain to replace on the side of trany under the car Could also be a fuel pump problem, Suggest that you have it checked for codes, and have fuel pressure checked while it is acting up.

Have it checked for codes. The tcm has detected a problem and it has gone into safe mode. If your speedometer is also acting wacky then it is the outgoing speed sensor for your transmission

What is wrong when your engine wants to stall?
My 1995 Nissan Quest is acting really strange. It is acting like its either misfiring or not getting enough gas and wants to cut out on me and it jerks sometimes hard. What could it be. I put new plugs and wires in, and just replaced the distributor cap and rotor for the distributor cap.
You bought this car less than 17 days ago and the transmission is acting up Who is responsible?
If there is no warranty, you are. If you bought it with a warranty does it say it covers the transmission or complete drivetrain? Have you checked the transmission fluid level?
