When connect switch to switch which cable to use?

All depends on the switch if the switch is intelligent and have auto detection which most switches have now a days you can use either one i.e straight through or crossover but if the switch is dumb you have to use crossover cable and plug it in the up-link port the process is called daisy chaining. For the past 7 years i have yet to come across a switch that don't have auto-detection for cables and link but in some old setups i have still see old technology.

What is difference between normal and uplink ports in switches?

Up-link ports are used to "Up-link" a device to another device such as a hub, router, or switch. Normal ports are used to attach a device to the before mentioned devices. A lot of devices have "auto configuration" or auto-sensing ports. With these auto sensing ports, any port can be utilized as a up-link port. In the early days of networking, you had to use a crossover cable to up-link a device to another switch, hub, or router. This was before they had up-link ports.

Why will my car start with remote starter but not with key?

There is an electrical problem between the starter switch and the starter solenoid. The most likely cause is a loose connection at the solenoid or the fusable link has melted.

Fuses of course, fusible link at the battery, bad connection at the battery, I don't know if a 98 still has the connection on the firewall, a resister, l0 gauge red wire in and out. Bad ignition switch I suppose. Corrosion at the connection in the firewall.
