do you have a volt guage? If yes shoulf be 12.5 volts or higher. if you turn on youre headlights are they bright or dim. If the battery is good u should be able to turn on the headlights and they will be bright even if u try to crank. If the battery is good u may have a bad starter solenoid. u can try taping on it with with a screw driver handle and give it a couple good waks. If its the orignal battery u may need a new battery, as well as a alternator. what happens as batteries get old, they don't fulley charge, and the alternator overheats trying to charge it. the alternator then fails, and the car will run until the remaining power in the battery is used up. just cause a battery starts the car doesnt mean the battery is good.

Have the battery checked. Very likely it has failed and you will need a new one.

Why wont your 95 jeep Cherokee startIt will turn over but has no spark at the plugs Is there a auto system shut down as fuel does not seem to be getting through?

Check the coil,crankshaft sensor & ignition system. You said you're not getting spark so address that issue first. Depending on engine size they are known for cracked coils & crankshaft sensors.


What would cause your 2001 ram 3500 not to startit does turn over?

if your starter sounds like it's running faster than normal but nothing's happening, lack of fuel getting to the combustion chamber is the likely culprit. If you're lucky, it's just a bad cutoff switch or cutoff relay. not so lucky- bad lift pump or injector pump

1997 tacoma that wont startit has spark and you removed the banjo fitting to the fuel rail to see if its getting fuelwhen you cranked itfuel spurted outwhy wont it start?

you need three things to get an engine running: spark, air, and fuel. Included in the air section is compression. You might have an issue after the banjo fitting on the fuel system. You might have a valve/air problem. you need three things to get an engine running: spark, air, and fuel. Included in the air section is compression.

Left the overflow cap off and now my car wont start it didn't overheat. All the water came out. What could the problem be?

I learned from bitter experience that it doesn't take longto overheat and toast a motor, especially if you tried toput water/coolant back in while it was still hot. That willthermal shock (read that as kill) a motor real quickly.If the motor still turns over, GOOD! Refill the coolant to the proper level,check the oil level and fill if necessary and try to startit. If it does start, keep your eye on the car for awhile tomake sure all is well. drive conservatively. If itdoesn't start, see your mechanic.


When did the practice of one man being with one woman start?

It started with the first man and woman to be created on earth, when God took a rib from Adam, formed Eve, and brought her to the man as his wife. (Genesis 2:18-24)At this time, the first 'marriage' took place, and the command given that 'the man must stick to his wife and the two will become one flesh'. So, according to the Bible, the practice of 'one man being with one woman' was a command from God, from the beginning of human history. (Matthew 19:4-6)^Yeah but when did it actually startIt is believed according to Bible chronology, that Adam was created around 4026 BCE. He was given the responsibility to care for the Garden of Eden and to name all the animals before God created Eve for him, so several years undoubtedly passed. The Bible is not explicit, but it appears that Adam was about 130 years old when Eve had their third son, Seth (Genesis 5:3-5), so was obviously quite a bit younger when she'd had her first son, Cain, who'd killed Able.So I guess if you're looking for a date, 'one man being with one woman' would have started several years after 4026 BCE, perhaps sometime between 4026 and 3926, though again, the Bible does not say.


How much money is required to start a cake business?

A good startIt all depends on what type of business you are planning? You can do it from your home to start by doing special orders from friends and relatives or even bake sales, festivals or other church or school activities even take them to flea markets and sell my slice, there are different arts and craft show in the area take them there and sell by the slice, Make up fliers from you computer( just an original ) then take to a copy place and make copies its cheaper than ink for your printer. and as you sell slices or even whole cakes or baked goods hand out you fliers. its an easy way to see if your business will work in your area with out loosing a big capital, once you have established a clientele and have a little more capitol then look into buying a bakery and getting a loan , It is essential that you keep very detailed and accurate records of your sales you will need it when you go to apply for your business loan, look on line first for used industrial oven make sure you shop around for a good location, and make sure that when you do your record keeping you keep the addresses of ALL who order from you so when you do get your new store you can invite them to the grand opening, I have my own catering business where I converted my garage into a Kitchen, it cost me less than $2000.00 to do I bought 2 restaurant style stoves with 2 ovens each from a restaurant that had gone belly up and needed to pay what they could on their bankruptcy and had plumbing put in, so it would pass the health departments standards, My husband works construction so I payed only for material, that's why it was so cheap, but with in months I was catering to the social lites of Houston Texas. I hope I was Helpful, and good luck with your business.Starting a Cake Business (web site and book)http://startingacakebusiness.com/
