Car is stalling

Just wondering if u guys would have any suggestions as to why my 93' Nissan Maxima would be cutting out. It only cuts out when I am going to take off from lights, roundabouts ect. I thought maybe the fuel injectors but have used a bottle of Injector cleaner that you put in with your fuel and seemed to be ok for a day but it cut out again a day later? The water pump is on its way out would this have an effect on it? Any suggestions as to what is causing this or how I can check if it is ...

The EV with the longest range of the world

The EV with the longest range of the world
Can’t wait to buy your first all-electric plug-in car? Chances won’t come from Ford, GM, or even Honda or Nissan. BYD’s e6 (http://www.byd.com/e6.html ) now for consumer sale in China and set to hit the U.S. market the next year, is full-sized and “purely electric,” as the company puts it with family-orientation concept. Their Most Innovative status, as known so far, is well-earned, having developed the battery technology for their cars in-house. And quite a technology it is. The BYD-developed Fe battery, powering the e6 to a range of 186.4 ...
