I don´t remember, it was a old one. I don´t even have that with me anymore. I know its not the cable or anything like that ´cause im using the same one for my iPhone.

Do you know what brand your car charger is? To me, it sounds as though perhaps your USB pins have gotten knocked out. Perhaps your car charger sends a firewire current? There are different pins for the firewire vs. USB.

EDIT: Seeing as how you say the charger was older, I'm willing to bet it was firewire based. When I say the pins have possibly gone bad, I mean in your actual iPod, not the cable. Of course, it could also be that you have a bunch of crud wedged into the connector. Try cleaning it out with a piece of paper or a small safety pin.
