    Please Help: Car Won't Start, Makes Clicking Noise

    Yeah, it started right up with a jump. I guess I'll go somewhere and the battery tested. It is 5 years old anyhow. That clicking sound is odd though. The last time my battery went bad almost nine years ago it just died--no crank or clicking

    Please Help: Car Won't Start, Makes Clicking Noise

    Got in the car this morning and tried to start it but it just made this weird clicking noise. Holding the ignition in start, the clicking continues as long as the key is held.

    Spark Plug DOOM on 4.0L SOHC--PLEASE HELP

    Okay, so it's 120,000 mile service time which means plugs, wires (seem fine so I might do them later), oil change, brakes, injectors, fuel filter, and transmission fluid.

    Remove headliner and install new?

    My headliner is also in dire need of replacement. Perhaps the nicotine stains would come out but the tiny burn holes certainly will not. C'mon now, somebody out there must know a thing or two about this.
