Both. It has motors driving the cooling fan and blower for the heater and A/C. It has an engine driving the wheels and propelling the vehicle down the road.

How many hours a 850amps battery can run a 2000 watts motor?
It depends on the battery's voltage. Such a battery's capacity is given in ampere-hours, not amperes. An 850 amp-hour 12 volt battery can theoretically operate a 12 volt motor for about 12 minutes but in practice it's probably, maybe a lot less, since the motor will probably stop as the battery nears its depletion.
Would a bad alternator cause a motor not to turn on?
Yes, since it would not return power to the battery.
How would you know if the idle motor on a 96 grand Cherokee needed to be replaced?
First off, you need to know that the throttle body is clean. If the throttle body is not clean inside, the PCM (computer) will have difficulty controlling the idle motor. Next, you need to know that the battery hasn't been disconnected recently. If the battery has been disconnected and the engine hasn't been run for a half hour since reconnecting the battery, your computer will have difficulty controlling the idle motor. Now that you've got that part taken care of, lets go on. If you often have difficulty starting the engine but you can start it easily by lightly tapping the accelerator pedal while you turn the key, you probably have a bad idle motor. Do you have a stalling problem and the stalling only happens when you are stopped and the transmission is in gear, and especially if this only happens with a cold engine or only with a warm engine, consider if tapping the gas pedal prevents the stall? Does the engine seem to run very smoothly except for just before the stalling? If so, you probably have a bad idle motor. If your radiator is full and the heat works normally and you have no vacuum leaks but the engine idles very fast with a warm engine, try tapping the idle motor with a plastic screwdriver handle. If tapping the idle motor slows down the idle speed, you probably have a bad idle motor.
Why does the speaker phone on cell phones use more battery power?
The speaker phone on your cell phone uses additional technology. Since it is using more hardware, it requires more battery.
Can a starter solenoid drain a battery?
Yes, a starter solenoid can drain a battery. When a starter solenoid is not working properly it can actually keep rotating the starter after the car's ignition is turned off. Since it requires a battery to actuate the starter, the battery will eventually be drained of power.

Is a 1.6l Mazda miata motor an interference fit motor?
No, Mazda recommends replacing the timing belt at about 65K in all states except Ca. where it is 105K. There is no difference in parts just a difference in State laws (CA requires 100K+ on timing belts) and since it is not an interference engine Mazda just stretched the service interval. No damage if it breaks at 75K...you'll just be stranded
How Does CMOS RAM save settings?
The CMOS chip in your computer is backed up by a battery (like a large watch battery) this only kicks in when the computer is switched off. Since the chip requires VERY little power to maintain its settings, the battery will keep the settings for a long time - sometimes years.
What motor oil is recommended for Honda engine?
If you are asking about a Honda small engine on a lawn mower, pressure washer, etc then it requires SAE 30 weight or SAE 10w30 if used during cold temperatures. If you are asking about a Honda Automobile made since 2000 use SAE 5w20. Prior to that use SAE 10w30. I highly recommend you use synthetic oil in any Honda Air cooled small engine.
