What model is the plasma tv? When you say the TV has an electric shock, do you mean it took a power surge?

Turn the key to the "on" position without trying to start it, you should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds then stop. Also you could pick up a cheap fuel pressure tester at an auto parts store and attach it to the valve on your fuel rail to get a true reading. Do you have a multimeter? Check the battery to make sure it is reading at least 12V DC, the value should go up to about 13-14V once the engine is started, that lets you know the alternator is charging up the battery correctly. When you say you "tap on the starter" are you crawling under the car and hitting the starter motor/solenoid? If you are and it works, it a good sign that the starter solenoid and/or starter is bad and sticking.

What model Elipsis? Always try to provide as much info as possible. Here are instructions on how to do a factory reset on an elipsis 7 . If it is a software problem then this should fix it. http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/k...-base-129346/

Get a couple cans of engine degreaser and follow the directions to remove the oil from the engine (make sure you are parked somewhere that wont stain)! Refill the oil and start the engine while monitoring where it leaks from.
