How do you connect a 230 volt outlets using a neutral white wire?
I am taking this question to mean that you are making an installation using two wire cable that has a black and white in it. In this situation the white is not called a neutral. At the distribution panel end the white wire does not connect to the neutral bar. It will go to one side of a two pole breaker. the other side of the breaker will connect to the black wire of the cable. On the 230 volt receptacle end the two wires will connect to either side of the receptacle. Make sure that the cable wiring is rated to take the amperage that your plug-in device will draw. The last thing to do is identify the white wire as a "hot" current carrying conductor. This is done by placing black tape around the white wire. This is done at both ends of the cables white wire. This is done to ensure in the future that is someone else works on the circuit they will know that the wire is not a neutral conductor.In the market place there is a new cable that has no white wire in it. This cable is used for wiring baseboard heaters and has a different colour jacket to identify the type of cable it is. The internal wiring colours are black and red. This wire is used for all 230 volt circuits.
What are the holes on an outlet for?
The holes on the back are there for quick wiring. You strip the wire and then insert it into the holes. It is held in place by spring tension. I do not recommend you wire the outlet by using these holes. From my experience the wires are not secure enough. Strip the wire and wrap it around the screws and tighten it securely which is what all the good electricians I know do. Takes a little longer but IMO it is more secure.

What is the brown wire in a plug?
This is not true in all plugs it all depends on the manufacturer and the product. Plug wires come in all different colors such as red, black, brown, yellow, blue, and so on. So as I said the wire being brown is indicative of a certain manufacturer or product.
How do you get the car to drive when battery is reconnected?
If all you did was disconnect and reconnect the battery, it should function as normal. That is, assuming you disconnected the ground (negative) first when you took the battery out and reconnected the positive side first when replacing the battery. If you didn't, there's a possibility you toasted your ECM.
