im going to try and make this as short as i can.

i have a 95 talon esi non turbo that thur a rod and has been sitin for about 2 years.well i just bought and had installed a used motor and its running great but when i got it home from the shop i opened up the hood and smoke was comeing out from behind the intake manifold and i hear a noise kinda like buzzin or humming,so i unhooked the batt and that went off..

so i got un under the front end and i saw that some oil is all over the center brace where one of the mounts is and the CAT was smoking.so i called the mech and he said the buzzin was something getting stuck like a alt reg and to go to auto zone and get them to check my chargin system.and he said the cat smokein was most likly oil that had got back in all the ex pipes,and most likly the oil leak is comein from the valve cover..

ok does all of that sound about right?

also nothing on my speedometer is working and he checked that and said it was hooked up but maybe the speed cencer is bad or a fuse is bad..

and i think something in my tranny or axels is bad becouse when i turn left i hear some crackin and when i try to take off from a hill i can here something that sounds like its lose and crackin/slipin and after i drove the car for about 20mils i staterd hearing this kinda high pitched humming everytime i pushed the gas and it would stop when i let off of it..

one more thing when i 1st started drivein the car when i would push the cluch above lets say 3k rpm i would hear a pop like it was poping out of gear,but that seems to have goting some what better but hasnt stoped 100%,but the mech said that one of my motor mounts had to be bad becouse the motor was moving to much and that was most likey what was cousein the poping under load..

so plz LMK what any of this could be..
 
Uh, can you retype the question in English and I will try to help.

Honestly, I can't understand what your wrote. :confused:
 
Not so difficult to understand but you really should proof read before posting.
Now then, The cat smokin happens when the ya hoo who put the car together got oil on yur exaust pipe That one I wouldnt worry about so much. The buzzing noise Im gonna guess is yur timing belt cover. Your power steering belt is most likely rubbing on it. Which means that either yur timing belt cover is all muffed up or its not been tightened properly.
The clunk, or pop, as you say, I have to agree with yur mech. I think you could have a bad motor mount.
Yur speedo, it could be that the cable broke or got kinked while the motor was out. Ya never know
Was the motor used? Did it get a new head gasket before it went in your car? That smokin behind the intake mani is concerning. It could just be that you need a new valve cover gasket, but Im thinkin that its more like a head gasket. If it is used I hope you didnt spend a whole lot.
It also sounds like yur CV axels are shot. You still got some work to do. I hope I was able to help you focus your attentions to the right areas.

ok the buzzing noise was after i turned the car off so the belts were not turning, and once i unhooked batt it went off. what about head gasket there is no water in oil and the smoke is coming up from the bottom in the back.? so im assuming the oil is hitting the cat and smoking does this sound right?

If you give money to a mechanic that suggests anything built since 1980 might have a voltage regulator that can buzz, you may be beyond getting help. Especially from him.

ok then what could it be?it sounded like it was coming from under or behind the batt..
 
A blown head gasket can go in several different ways. It could start out as an oil to air leak, or coolant to cylinder leak, or oil to coolant. Ive seen them all. It could still be only your valve cover gasket too. Ya just gotta climb in and take a nice and close look.
The buzzing, I dont know.

You are hearing buzzing when your motor is not running, right? If thats the case then I think Its your ECU driving your idle speed motor (not sure if i got the part name right), and its normal. That motor is located on the throttle body and, and the ECU does it some time after you turn the engine off. I have that in my car too.
Hope this helps

The part is an ISC. (Idle Stepper Control)

Some of the reman. POS alternators from Checkers or Auto Zone have voltage regulators. Or maybe the world just throws all their trash to North Dakota....
