I own a '95 Corolla (70k miles) that was involved in an accident (front collision, bumper + hood + radiator). The car was fixed at the dealer shop. They also told me they had to adjust the front wheels alignment. Now I hear a whining noise (sounds something like a loud turbo) coming from the...

Got a 1991 Dodge Dynasty (v6 engine) that won't start, and I'd like to figure out why. For a while, the problem was that the engine wouldn't always turn over when the key was turned to the Start position; nothing would happen on some tries, and then on the next try it might turn over. Now, nothing...
