Car clicks but won't start.
Hi, when I try to start my car, it clicks but won't start. The accessories and lights will turn on though. Also it will start if I wait with the ignition in the on position for 10 or 15 min. I tried recharging my battery but it came back after half a day. Anybody know why???

Violent coolant leak on 1998 Volvo V70XC, back of engine
Hi, I have a severe leak coming from somewhere around the back of my engine. I filled up the reservoir, went around the block, and checked my levels as soon as I pulled in, and my reservoir was drained completely. I took some video of where the leak was hitting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-MHKk...

Re: Timing marks off!
Heya, so I got the car timed, and reassembled, and it seems to drive fine now, so thank you guys a ton!
I'm noticing that it is leaking quite a bit of coolant though. Did I screw something up in the process of fixing it?

Re: Timing marks off!
I could do that. Won't that damage the valves though?

Re: Timing marks off!
I read all of those and unfortunately they don't address the issue my car has. I can only turn the crankshaft maybe a quarter of a full rotation, and i looked very closely with a flashlight over that range of motion. I did not see any notches, and I've tried going back and forth 3 or 4 times now. I ...

Re: Timing marks off!
I have. I've been going back and forth between 2 of the tutorials, a tutorial on another site, and VIDA. They don't address this specific issue, though. And i tried going off book before and was trying to get the crankshaft bolt off after taking the timing belt off, which was a big mistake, so I'm p...

Re: Timing marks off!
I was looking at online tutorials, and have discovered that I was using the wrong thing to align my crankshaft, so that's the culprit here. however, i was slowly rotating it as far as it could go in both directions, looking for the notch you have to align it with, and could not find it. is there any...
