Problem: Article: The starter and solenoid are located on the engine of your vehicle. In order to gain access to it, pull on the hood release located near the door on the driver's side of the vehicle. You will need to release the safety latch on the front of the vehicle in order to open the hood as well. If you are unable to locate the safety release, refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for directions. The starter is usually located near where the engine and transmission meet. The starter itself is usually cylindrical in shape with a smaller cylinder attached to it. There should be a wire coming directly from the positive terminal of the battery to the starter. While starters come in many sizes, they are usually shaped the same. Refer to your vehicle's service manual if you are unable to locate the starter. The smaller cylinder attached to the top or side of the starter is the starter solenoid. It is a fairly simple electrical mechanism that can fail, preventing the starter from engaging and starting the motor. The starter solenoid will have two terminals coming out of its end. The wire from the battery will connect to one of those two terminals. Have a friend turn the key in the ignition to attempt to start the vehicle. Listen carefully, as you should hear a click when the starter solenoid engages. If you do not hear a click, the starter solenoid is likely not functioning properly. If you do hear clicking, the solenoid may be engaging, but not sufficiently. Hearing clicking without the starter motor moving means the solenoid is transferring the electricity, but it may not be enough. No clicking means the solenoid is not properly engaging, but this may also be due to a dead battery. If your starter is failing to engage, it may be because the battery does not have sufficient energy to power it. Rule this out by testing the battery with a volt meter. Low power could result in the starter clicking but failing to engage. Place the positive (red) lead on the voltmeter on the positive terminal of the battery and negative (black) lead on the negative terminal. Your battery should measure at around 12 volts at a rest before you attempt to start the vehicle. If the voltage is low, the battery may just need to be charged.
Summary: Open the hood of the vehicle. Find the starter. Identify the cylinder on the side of the starter. Listen for the solenoid to click when the key is turned. Check the battery.

Problem: Article: Chewing gum can trick your brain into feeling satisfied, especially if you have a craving for sugar. Choose sugar-free gum and pop a piece whenever you get the urge to indulge in a dessert or that afternoon cupcake. Chewing gum is also a good way to keep your mouth occupied when you might otherwise want a cigarette or an alcoholic drink. If you feel like you always need to have something in your mouth, gum may be a relatively harmless way to redirect your habit. Avoid using peppermints or breath mints as a way to curb your cravings. They often contain more sugar than gum, and this exposure to sugar can make your cravings worse. Sugar will also harm your teeth. Use caution if you have a history of jaw soreness or related medical issues. Gum chewing can worsen disorders that cause your jaw to pop or click. Since the aftertaste of toothpaste doesn't pair well with the flavor of food, brushing your teeth when you get a craving is a way to temporarily put a stop to your craving. The flavor in your toothpaste can also trick your body into believing a craving has been satisfied. Carry a toothbrush and toothpaste to use when big cravings hit. Brushing your teeth too often can wear out the enamel. Don't rely on this method too many times in one day. It is common to feel hunger cravings when what your body really needs is water. If you tend to be a little dehydrated, start drinking water when you feel cravings coming on. The liquid will make you feel more full. As an added benefit, cold water will stimulate your metabolism as your body warms the liquid to body temperature. Flavor the water with a squirt or two of lemon to add some flavor and make this trick even more effective. Giving it an actual taste will make you feel as though you've consumed something slightly more filling than water. Try green tea or another unsweetened beverage if you find yourself wanting some variety. One study found that people who inhaled a peppermint scent every two hours ate 2,700 fewer calories over the course of a week. Keep a food-scented candle such as vanilla, green apple, or banana nearby and sniff it regularly. If you are a stress eater, close your left nostril and inhale through your right to reach the portion of your brain that processes emotions. You will likely reduce both your anxiety and your appetite. Food scented lotions, lip balms and other, similar products may also be useful. Try keeping a small bottle of cinnamon or peppermint essential oil on hand for when intense cravings hit. Food cravings, in particular, aren't always a bad thing. Sometimes you crave something because your body needs it. Even if it's not something you strictly need, more often than not, a little bit won't hurt. It may seem counterintuitive, but many people have fewer cravings when they indulge slightly. A small concession to your craving might prevent you from overindulgence later. Consider combining the food you're craving with something healthier. For example, if you're craving chocolate, melt some chocolate chips and dip strawberries in the melted chocolate. Eating fresh fruit with your chocolate is a better choice than having a big slice of chocolate cake. Complete restriction can lead to heavy cravings and subsequent binge eating. Indulging is not a good idea if you're dealing with cravings related to nicotine or alcohol addiction. In this case, indulging even a little will intensify your cravings. This technique can help you get through an intense craving of any kind, whether what you crave is sugar, alcohol or nicotine. Instead of trying to push the craving from your mind, let it wash over you like a wave, and imagine yourself "surfing" it. Notice where in your body you are experiencing the craving and what the sensations are like. Repeat back this information to yourself. Focus on one area and describe, in detail, the sensations you are feeling. Notice any changes that occur as you continue to experience the sensations. Repeat this process with each distinct area in which you experience the craving. Over time, you'll learn to better recognize the way you experience cravings. Doing so will enable you to cope with them until the waves of sensation pass.
Summary:
Pop a piece of gum. Brush your teeth. Drink water. Sniff a food-scented candle. Indulge a little. Try urge surfing.
