I have a 1999 Chevrolet 1500 truck. Put a new battery in the car. Won’t start. Turns over great but won’t start. A month ago it did the same thing. Friend told me to hold down gas pedal for a couple minutes. Then I tried and after cranking for a minute straight it slowly chugged and then started. This time that process did not work. Anything I can try?
I have a 1998 Chevy 1500 truck and it won't start. It cranks over good and almost tries to start but then doesn't. I know that is not much to go on but I'm not mechanically inclined so any help would be appreciated.
I have 2 types of industrial connectors used in a machinery.
I only know the logo of the manufacturer written on the connectors:
Could you help to identify the manufacturer?

I have a 2014 Cadillac SRX and there is a metal to metal noise coming out of the front end. I have replaced the rotors, brake pads and the wheel bearings were replaced about 6 months ago but, the noise is still there. I have taken the brakes apart several times to use a brake squeal lube on the pads, verified that the calipers aren't damaged and that the anti-rattle clips aren't touching the rotors but, I am still hearing the noise. I have noticed that when I turn the wheel to the left the noise stops then, when the wheel is straight or turning to the right the noise continues.
I have also replaced the brakes on the rear of the car but, based on where I hear the noise and the fact that turning the wheel does or doesn't stop the noise I believe it to be in the fronts brakes.
I am out of ideas as to where the noise may be coming from.

I'm looking for an iPhone X rear car backup Bluetooth camera backup system where I can install a camera on my rear car bumper (that gets power from my car) that then transmits to my iPhone X so that I can see behind me while I am backing up in my car.

Is it illegal to bribe an MOT inspector into inspecting the car?
I'm pretty sure my car is safe and will pass all the safety and emission tests but it has a bag of horseshit in the boot and an overflowing ashtray full of smelly fag butts in the front. Is it illegal to offer an extra reward to the mechanic who braves the smell and tests it to make sure it is roadworthy?
I do not intend to bribe him into passing it as safe if it is unsafe but I do intend to bribe him into applying the standard tests rather than refusing to look at it due to the pong.

Hi,
How lidar technology can disrupt automotive industry, The evolving self driving industry has witnessed major advancement in lidar technology. It would be great if someone could explain about hybrid lidar concepts.
Thanks in advance.

When japanese car maker recall their cars (specifically Toyota for the
hybrid Prius & CHR for the recent circuit & fire hazard), will the maker
a) take back to fix it (replace parts) & then return the car. During this
period of loss of use of the car, will the maker compensate with
say taxi fare?
b) or refund the owner & if so, at what price?
c) how's the arrangement like?
Would like how it's practised in other parts of the world .
I'm assuming there's no accident/injuries incurred to the car owner.

Are there any yearly statistics on how many people have heart attacks in parked cars and has the figure increased since the introduction of electronic hand-brakes*? (*parking brake in American English).
Reason for asking is the second hand car I just bought has an electronic handbrake but every time I stop on an upward hill this brake automatically disengages and the car rolls backwards. I have managed to slam my foot on the footbrake every time but each time it happens my heart-rate skyrockets.
When I was taught to drive the parking process was footbrake-handbrake-neutra

Auto mechanic uses on prem application called RO Writer. Intermittently, the number pad on their Logitech wireless keyboards stops sending data to the application. User switches to a different application and it works fine. So the problem is isolated to RO Writer. They haven't communicated the problem to vendor because there's a low expectation of any positive response.
Number input at top of keyboard works fine. Numeric pad stops functioning until you restart the app.
Thoughts?

I drive a Toyota Sienta Hybrid, 2017 make.
Regular mechanic told me the engine / motor oil (he used synthetic type)
for hybrid is different from non-hybrid cars.
Q1:
What about spark plugs (I'm looking at iridium) : is it different from non-
hybrid cars' iridium spark plugs?
Q2:
Can point me to an ebay, Amazon or Aliexpress link that sell Sienta
Hybrid's iridium spark plugs?

I am planning to buy a used motor home. Some of them are very cheap "1997 Damon Intruder 345B" only 15 grant. My question is why are thy so cheap? Also is it ok to buy the used motorhomes. I make only 12 dollar an hour but i can afford to buy this only scare is how costly is to maintain those things?
My Galaxy Note 4 (already updated to latest Android) tends to lose
connectivity to GPS (even though the connection to cellular/mobile
data network seems to be intact) while driving for 3 to 30 secs.
I'm using Waze. The disconnection can happen even on a bright
sunny day (ie don't have to be cloudy/rainy days) or in open
highway (ie not while going through tunnels).
The same SIM card was previously used on my Galaxy Note 2 for
for almost a whole year previously & I never had this issue.
Is this a known issue with Note 4 or the Telco ? Maybe one way I
can test this is to use the Note 4 as a hotspot (tethering) to an
iPhone & test to see if Waze/GPS disconnects intermittently:
map is still there but there's a red alert message that 'connection
to GPS is disconnected' at the top of the screen.
I only noted 2 changes:
1. I switch from Note 2 to Note 4 at around the time I disposed
the old Honda Airwave to Toyota Sienta hybrid: not sure if
there's something in Sienta that interferes
2. Note4 tends to get very heated up while Note2 is not that
hot while Waze is in use: I've since taken out the backcover
of the Note4 (& used scotch tapes to hold the battery & SIM
card in place) when in use so that the heat dissipates

I have an Ariens Lawn tractor and my daughter put in dirty old gas into the tank and ran it for a bit. Then it stopped and I can't get it started anymore. I dumped the gas out and put in new gas and it won't start. Tries to start but does not. What do I need to try and get it going? Another terrible thought is that it wasn't gasoline. It did not have much of a smell, maybe because it was so old. When I looked in the tank before I dumped it the gas looked pretty brown, but that could have been because this was old and dirty.
I'm trying to explain to my wife over the phone how to drop in a seat on our 2000 Chevrolet Express 3500 Van and lock it in place. Once the seat is in place how do you use the locking pins to secure it? This is a new van she picked up so I have not ever done this procedure.
I have a 2002 Ford E350 15 passenger van and the ABS light came on. I brought it in and they said it was a left rear wheel bearing. This is a rear wheel drive vehicle. A couple days later the light is not on anymore. How much of a danger is an issue like this?

i'm looking for a compact (say 3ft x 2ft x 0.5ft) diesel or gasoline
quiet generator that could power the equipment in my house
(mostly TV, ceiling fan, lights that use 220-240V of 20-50Amp).
I guess air-conditioners will require much higher voltage/amperes
so will leave it out.
Can recommend any? Ideally below US$1,000

Does anyone know how to resolve Family Plan issue with Uber?

I installed a new aftermarket stereo in my 01 Tahoe. Everything worked but when I turned the truck ignition to on from accessories... I lost all sound. I pulled it out, opened my door to reset everything and plugged the stereo back in. Started the truck and the same thing happened. I can only get the sound back on by turning off the truck, open door for reset, unplugging stereo, plugging stereo back in and turning truck key to accessories. I tried the deck in my buddy’s 01 Tahoe nod it worked fine. I tried putting his deck in my truck and the same thing happened. I put my stock one back in and it works fine. I’m completely stumped by this?! Help?!?
I have a truck with a Tommy Gate and the rear blinkers/tail lights are not working. They are blinking fast. Front works. I am going to sell this vehicle and I need to drive it serveral hundred miles and I don't want to replace the lights because I either have to work on it forever or I have to remove the tommy gate to get at the lights. Is there a CHEAP temp option for blinkers that I could get? WIreless or battery powered? This is a 1998 Chevy 1500.
