Q: My 1999 Toyota Camry won't start what might it be?
I was driving on the highway doing about 80mph and it just shut off. When I try to start it there is only a clicking noise but the radio, Windows, and all the lights still work. There is gas in the car. Upon observation I noticed there was no coolant in the car so I added some and let it sit a while thinking maybe it overheated but nothing. I m currently waiting to get a jump which hopefully helps, but if not I d like to know what I should do. Thanks
