My car died while driving, what could be the problem?
I think it might just be that the car is getting old, but I want it to last for the rest of the school year, at least. I have a 1996 Ford Taurus. A few weeks ago, I was able to drive it to school, but then it wouldn't start at all so I couldn't get home. We tried to jump it, but it didn't work, so we got it towed. They said the alternator was the problem, so we got that fixed. Then there was some problems with the speedometer and the radio. We got the fuse fixed for the speedometer. The car worked just fine for another few weeks after that. Then yesterday, on my way home from school, it started beeping at me, the wheel got really hard to turn, and when I stopped at a stop sign, the engine completely died. I was only a block away from home, so my dad came and we jumped it. It worked just fine after jumping it and I was able to drive it the rest of the way home. Then we put it on the charger because we thought maybe the battery needed to be charged (which is also less than a year old). I'm kind of scared to drive the car again because I don't want it to give out when I'm driving again. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

- Car acceleration problem and idle problem. The car is a 2003 Ford Taurus? . When the car is running and in parked its making a loud consisted rev noise. However the rpm needle thingy is not moving. when i'm in drive the car acclerates on its own with the speed ever increasing. i did some googling and learned that it can be the TPS sensor or the idle air intake valve, among a million other possiblities.
- What RPM should my car idle while driving and what RPM should I shift? I have a 2003 Ford Mustang V6. 5 speed manual transmission. This is not the first manual car I've owned, but I'm curious. I never really look but I've read in some places that in order to save gas you should shift at 2 RPM before I used to shift at around 3-3.5 RPM. Also what's a good RPM my car should idle at while I'm in gear? Let's say I'm driving in 3rd gear. What's the ideal RPM to stay at before needing to shift.
- I bought a new ford focus sel hatchback with 29 miles, after 3 weeks the battery died and they replaced it with a new one. It died again? Can they trade my car for another one. I'm not gonna keep paying for a car that don't work. It has 300miles now
