After driving through a rainstorm in So. Cal, I started hearing a slight squeeking noise at the timing belt area on the driver-side wheel well. I looked down and since my timing belt cover for that bottom area is broken, I can see the belt wiggling a little bit.The belt doesn't look like...

I'm having horrible idle. When I start the car, it idles very erratically below 1,000 RPMS. There's no specific rhythm to it, it's very random. The car stutters, thumps, and really feels like it's missing hard.For example, the RPMS could be at 800 one second, then do a sudden drop to 0...

When I'm driving in overdrive going up hill and trying to hold my speed steady, the car jerks like it's on a very bumpy road. Also, I feel like when I'm pressing the gas, more power is being generated, but it's not being put to the ground.This scares me, what do you guys think this is...

** 97 Eclipse GS-T **I just started hearing this really weird 'ticking' or clicking noise around the dashboard yesterday at low RPMs. It's really starting to concern me and I only hear it at low RPMs, like 500 -> 600rpm. When I bring it up to 1,000rpm, it stops.I have an automatic...
