Could be lots of reasons: Bad fuel, water in fuel, clogged fuel filter, defective fuel pump, defective coil pack (weak spark), defective sensor (computer in limp mode), etc.

How did the phrase horse power come about?

as you may know, horses used to be used. One horses power was described as 1 horse power, 2 is two horse power and so on, but as the world progeressed, so did technology and cars have lots of power. Still, things were decribed in horse power. So if youir car has 267 horse power, for example, this means that it would take 267 horses to have that much power that the car has in one car. (Corret me if that is wrong, thank you, hope this helped :)


When the engine shuts off does the power steerings die?

If by "die" you mean stops working, then yes, the power steering is disabled when the engine is not running. The power steering is actually a hydraulic pump that assists your effort in turning the steering wheel. The pump is powered by the engine, so when the engine is off, so is the power steering. Incidentally, if you should lose power steering while the car is moving (engine dies, belt failure, hydraulic line breached, etc) you haven't lost the ability to steer, you've only lost the power assist. Also, in most modern cars when you turn off the car, the steering wheel lock engages. This is an antitheft measure, such that the car is difficult to push away when it's turned off (to a loading ramp, for example) because it cannot be steered. It's not worth much, as obviously the most effective way of stealing a car is to hotwire the ignition and drive it away.

Bad or good electric car?

It depends upon how the electric car is powered. If its fuel comes from burning coal, the car is not so great for our environment. However, if the electricity generated to power the car comes from wind, solar, geothermal, or hydroelectric, it is much better.
