Why wont my car start after using Seafoam and running out of gas, its a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

I have a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 4.0 L, Straight 6 cylinder. My car has been having alternating charging problems for about the last week. The gauge on the dashboard says its charging at about 12v, but I thought it was a grounding issue that I had in the past So I redid the connection coming off my battery, grounding out on my car and then it was still doing it so I realized that I messed up the other end when fixing it so I redid the connection of the ground cable to my battery. But again it was still not fixed, checked my fuses and the #3 fuse either 7.5 or 15 was blown, replaced but didn’t think it was causing the issue. I was charging my car at night and then not using my lights or radio so I knew I would be pretty much fine if it was still charging at 12 v. But I guess about two weeks ago I needed to get me car inspected, the owner said I need to do some gas cleaner so I would pass inspection, so I used Sea Foam, 8 oz in the gas tank, 4 in the oil, and 4 in the throttle body. After that I kind of noticed like a sound when I first turned my car off either my oil dropping but really it sounded like it came from the top of my head and/or valve cover like maybe my valve or rockers were moving and tapping or something. Just like 5 times for like 20 – 30 seconds after I shut off my car. So yesterday I ran out of gas, tried to shake my car bc i was on a tilt and tried to restart, went and put a gallon of gas in and kept trying to restart it but then it started sounding funny, so I stopped bc I thought about my battery and my filter being clogged and it just not being enough gas. So I came back with 2 more gallons and I tried jumping it, still no and it still sounded bad, i only tried it like twice. So I went home and charged my battery bc my cables aren’t that good and I don”t know if the grounding issue or alternating issue was causing the charge from the jump to not be so great How do you use the body of your car or something to use as a ground when you are jumping your car? So the battery fully charged, at least it said it was close to full, and I went back This time I replaced my fuel filter because I thought the SeaFoam cleaning my tank could of stopped it up. I also checked my fuses and the same fuse had blown again and now that I think about it my radio was stolen and the wires touching were giving me problems so I clipped them all and then separated them and let them hang out so I knewweren’twerent touching. But I have to say I have a hottie riding with me so I cleaned up the old car and threw those wires back in the back, so they are probably touching now which is blowing the fuse and causing the alternator(grounding) charging issue. I need to look up what that fuse is up to? Hopefully my radio and is causing the problem. But I upped the fuse from a 7.5 to 10 or 15 to 20. Not to mention I got gas in my ear changing out the fuel filter, I thought hey ill open my gas tank if thedoesn’tdoesnt stop coming out, which caused my brain and inside of my head to fell like it was on fire. Hopefully y’all will learn from my mistake and really be careful from this from now on. I sat there pouring water in both my ears and in my nose and all over me for like 30 minutes before it stopped burning. Off the subject. But I tried to start it and it was still doing the ringing sound and I had somebody else try while I listened and it did not sound like the car was turning or trying to start it was making a loud screeching sound or loud ringing sound, like something is stuck and causing the engine not to turn. I was done and went home. Ok sSea foameafoam in the oil liquefies the old oil residue, and says you should change it at 30 miles or 100 miles at the Sea FoameaFoam in the gas lubricates, dries water, cleans gum & varnish, cleans carbon deposits, and stabilizes. Then I also did 4 oz down in my throttle body which I guess concentrates more on the combustion area and the fuel injectors Somey’allg yall should know thaven’thavent done a legitimate oil change in about a year, I have been adding oil and changing my oil filter though. So….. What do you think is a matter? What steps should I take to fix it? I am really just worried about getting it started, Ill fix the charging problem later. I was thinking I should first go and cut all of my radio wires so there is no copper showing and use electric tape to tape up the ends of the important ones like the power and ground and such and just all of them so I know it cant be causing a problem. Then do a oil change and run a couple extra quarts through to get everything out. I know not changing my oil for this long is the most stupidest thing I could of done and I just hope my motor did not freeze up. I will not be able to make to work and etc. the aren’t arent the greatest. OK, Sorry it is so much but I wanted to fully describe what was going you’ll youll could properly diagnose the problem. Thank you so much for the hel
Oh, yes and my Check engine light has been on but hasn’t had any caused any problems. Then also my abs light came on just the other day sometime around when I noticed the alternator not charging correctly. Also a day before I noticed the car not charging correctly when I first got in the cab my car would make a ticking sound, it sounded like it was coming from the right side of the dash, I also hear my turn signal coming from over there. But im not sure if it is that is what is causing the clicking sound I am hearing. But I think the clicking sound and the alternator problem started at the same time I just didn’t notice the charging problem right away.
While my car has been broke down plus I wasn’t driving it for over half the year that is why it has been receiving poor maintanance but also because I haven’t put that many miles on it. No the battery is strong and when it cranks it cranks. There is no lose of power, in fact I was just making sure of that myself that is why I was jumping it. I really didnt think it needed a jump but I just wanted to make sure that wasn’t the problem. The oil thing sounds more correct to me. Where should I go with that? Oil Change?

Benefits of using zinc over magnesium to produce hydrogen gas?

I wanted to know the benefits of using zinc over magnesium to produce hydrogen gas from hydrochloric acid. I have found out that zinc is more commonly used in large scale productions of hydrogen gas but not why it is used. All the information i have gathered is that the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid takes a lot of time and that it is disadvantage when producing hydrogen gas. Any information is welcomed. Please and thank you.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using water fuel/energy??

What about for biofuel?

What would be one positive and one negative of using water instead of gasoline as a fuel source for cars?

Is it ok to keep my 16.5 ft. boat suspended above water using the d rings on back & front?

I have a 1995 Kenner open fishing boat v bottom & center console with 90 hp Suzuki. At the dock where I am keeping the boat they want to keep it suspended out of the water at all times. The boat slip is set up with a hoist that is good up to about 7700 lbs. Thanks to my answer from Seattles I think my dry weight is about 1200 lbs plus 341 for the motor and plus fuel, 2 anchors, etc.
What I would like to know is the stress on the d-rings – 2 in the back and the one up front (not a lifting ring on the bow) I use this ring when I winch the boat out of the water on to the trailer.
At one of the marina’s they used these same 3 rings for lifting my boat out in and out of the water from dry storage but never continuous weight hanging.
Will these rings hold this or should I have reinforcement plates and larger rings?
Thanks,
Josey

Using regular fuel when I should’ve been using Premium?

Well, I’m an idiot. I’ve owned my car for a year, and for a year I’ve been using regular unleaded. Just yesterday I learned that with my engine type (v6 3 liter), I should’ve been using premium. Whoops.

I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant ES V6 with just about 200k miles. I had a tune up last week and did all of the preventative maintenance (water pump, timing belt, etc.), and my mechanic said my engine and tranny sounded and ran beautifully. I did notice about six months ago my check engine light came on, and when I got it checked out I found out it was for emissions (cat. converter, more than likely). Luckily my state doesn’t require emissions testing, so that should be fine until I can get it looked at.

what will using fuel injector cleaner do to an engine without fuel injection?

Thanks to a laspe in attention I grabbed fuel injector cleaner rather than fuel stabilizer and put it in my 97 Grand AM GT, which just so happens to lack fuel injection. After driving for twenty or so miles the engine overheated, shut off and began an obnoxious grinding and knocking noise. We got it home and assessed that the water pump had died and replaced it, we would have replaced the termostat too if that didn’t require removal of the carburetor. The grinding stopped after the replacement of the water pump but know the engine is knocking. Not a subtle knock either, a BITCHING BADASS knocking. Loud enough to annoy the neighbors. We tried CD-2 oil detergent, which helped a little bit, but the knocking still gets nearly unbearable at anything past 20 MPH. The duel filter needs replacing but we haven’t been able to do that due to some kind of damage to the current one. I’ve done a little research and what I can glean is that there’s either a lifter going to hell, or there’s something wrong with the ignition timings. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. I need to know if I can drive it or not since I am a delivery driver and need to know if I need someone to cover me or not.

Can you save money & envirenment on gas using gas4free system?

One customer says:

“I run a car rental company up here in Canada that specializes in auto sharing. Most of my cars are already economy cars but I have gone one step further and converted every single on of the cars in my fleet to water/hydrogen burning systems.

Doing this myself by using the simple system outlined in your book has saved me and my customers a ton of money. I am super pleased with your product and I have not ever had a single compliant from one customer ever! No cars have broke down and my company has saved thousands on gas! ”

why are we still using cars instead of hovercrafts?

hovercraft are in existence being used by the military and for recreation. they are cheaper to build and buy, can be designed for one person or large as a bus. uses less gasoline than an automobile. no worry of potholes or hydroplaning or hitting small animals. you wont need to buy a car and a boat when a hovercraft will go straight from the street to the water. we are in the space age and still tethered to wheeled vehicles. let’s fly!
hovercraft and speed laws can be modified. i’ve seen the military craft flying down the gulf over 70mph.

Is anyone using Hydrogen injection in their vehicle and is it working?

I’ve seen these electrolysis devices for sale and I really don’t think they would work. Is anyone using one of these devices and how is it working?? I’ve got a friend who purchased one and is putting it on his truck…
FYI: I’m not thinking about running off 100% hydrogen, but the Brown’s Gas that is produced when water is electrolyzed
such as the system here at www.savefuel.ca

We’ll see what happens…My bet is that it isn’t gonna work though…
