Could be that some engine oil has gotten into the gas chambers, and being heavier than gasoline, ignited and trying to burn, caused the engine to stall, and exhausted the remains out the tail pipe. Could be cracked engine block.

What is the problem -battery light stays on car rides for ten min slows down clilking sound and shuts off sometimes smoking from front 1997 Ford Taurus gl?

I believe the battery light is on because the RPM does not hit the 1400 rpm mark. The smoking is from the exhaust system being clogged or the air flow through the system. My bet is the exhaust. With the engine running, you should not be able to hold your hand blocking the exhaust system. If so, look at the exhaust.

What causes a 1998 mercury mystique check engine light comes on then the oil light and all of sudden the car shuts off?

I am having a problem right now with my check engine light too. I don't know why your motor shuts down, but in the book it states that when your check engine light comes on, you are having a problem with your emission control. For you, it might be a sensor is shutting down your engine. I know last month Mister Transmission was having a free check out your engine special, so you might want to call there to see if they can put your car on a diagnotic. Good luck


In a car what is courtesy light?

The courtesy light is most likely a light that comes on when you open the door. It helps you see better when getting in and out of the car but shuts off after a certain amount of time (15 secs or so) so it doesn't drain your battery. Very courteous wouldn't you say?


Can a calculator be powered by a solar energy?

Absolutely! In fact, there are many light/solar-powered calculators already out there. If you look at a basic calculator, there's usually a black strip near the top corner. That's the solar panel. If you cover it up, you'll notice that the calculator usually shuts off but quickly comes back on when you uncover it.

How do you switch service light on hilti dd200?

The service light comes on after a certain numbers of hours. I think around 200 hours. The indicator light lets you know you have just a few hours before the machine shuts off and has to be serviced. I think on the DD200 it is wired to the carbon brushes. Once they wear down to a certain point the light comes on. After that they wear down further until a pin pops out cutting power to the motor.
