so the timing belt caused engine failure. I need a new engine. Just going to sell the whole car for like $300 dollars. Moving on

the mechanic said you need to change the timing belt and see how the engine to run. he said the timing belt is loose which is what caused the problem. I drove the car for a little and it just wouldn't accelerate and would just die when coming to a stop. Could this have just ruined the engine...

I just talked to the mechanic he said the timing belt is "loose" which is causing the car to not accelerate and run like crap. He said it might have caused cylinder head damage. But he wont know until he replaces the belt itself to see how the car will run. I drove the car for some time just to...

I have a 420a non turbo engine. It burns through oil, I have always added some to replace the lost oil and have had no problems. The car would start and run fine other than some vibrations while in idle/drive.I noticed my oil was a little lower than half on the dip stick. I added just a little...

I believe the plastic arm is really bad because the driver door is hard to open and makes a loud thump sound when opened half way.I am confused on what part to replace and buy though. I searched and couldn't find a step by step repair for this...

Thank you for the detailed reply, I really appreciate it....I did mention in the original post that once the car is jump started, literally all of the dash lights go crazy and flicker on and off for a few seconds once the cable terminals are removed.After the jump the car and battery runs...

My battery terminals are clean and my battery is getting a good charge.It's just my car is not receiving the electrical charge from the battery, which makes it seem like a dead battery.My Alternator 120A fuse looks good My Fuse (+B) 60A fuse looks goodMy 30A Engine Moteur fuse looks...

I jump start it from the battery terminals - starts, runs fine and drives fine.Once park it and turn it off and try to start it without jump starting it won't start and the radio doesn't work - feels like a dead battery

My battery and alternator work fine. I took the battery to Napa and they said the voltage is normal and good working condition. No radio works, no crank, feels like a dead battery.But car wont start unless it is jump started, then once it is jump started all the dash lights come on and start...

just prestone washer fluid bought at autozonei already disconnected the sensor by the brake fluid and the light is still on

I have a 2g 420a. My washer fluid is topped up on the front and rear. I tried disconnected the sensor but the only thing that did was turn off my washer fluid spray while leaving the light on.Any suggestions on how to fix this? I don't want to just remove the bulb

there is a loud clunk under the car by the catalytic converter/muffler. Very SLOW acceleration especially when going uphill.

I hear a knock under the car, not by where the engine is. Checking the catalytic converter

any advice? the shop I took it too couldn't figure it out. I hate going to different shops and spending my money and them coming up with nothing

The sputtering is very noticeable when you are at a stop and start to accelerate.When at idle, the idle will stumble down rpm and then come back up. I have taken it to a shop and they still were not able to diagnose what was wrong.Here is what I have checked and a few things I have replaced...
