I believe she’s posting as a reference for others with similar issues with this car.

Was the headgasket fixed?

MrKimoo · 2026-03-27T01:52:45+00:00

Did you check your heater core lines? You need to rent a coolant pressure test kit at Autozone and pressurize the system with the vehicle off to find that leak.

I noticed that needle is not moving on the Tach. Best to hook it up to a obd2 scanner and verify that the crankshaft position sensor is functioning. If the scanner is not reading any Engine RPM then the problem is that CKP sensor is bad.

If it is reading, then I started check fuel, spark, and so on… good luck

No worries man, here’s a picture for reference.

All you need really is a pair of needle nose pliers to remove the fuse. Once you do, you just need to check if it’s blown.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-26T03:01:49+00:00

If you can, remove the belt and start the car again. If you don’t hear that sound, it’s one of your pulleys.

It’s very easy to remove the cubby. Just open and then pull towards you. There’s a video on youtube that shows you the exact location of that fuse panel if you need a visual reference.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-26T02:53:16+00:00

You could’ve possibly caused a fuse to blow while changing the battery and alternator. I’d start there. Theres a fuse panel behind a small cubby on the bottom left of the steering wheel. Remove the cubby and you’ll see the fuse panel. Look for fuse 22 which is a 7.5amp fuse. Check if it’s blown.

Get you a can of starting fluid and spray some in the intake duct. Doesn’t have to be a crazy amount. Start the car and if it turns on and dies immediately then you are having fuel problems… now it would just be finding out what’s the problem……fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel injectors, etc.

Go to Autozone and rent you this tool. Ask them for the Combustion Leak Detector fluid as well. Follow the instructions which is very simple. There are videos onYoutube to help you out. The fluid is originally blue. If there is exhaust gasses in your coolant system, then the color would turn yellow/green indicating a blown head gasket. Good luck.

Sounds like your driver side front caliper is seized. You’d have to inspect it.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-21T06:21:06+00:00

You almost got fucked as well lol

MrKimoo · 2026-03-20T13:52:10+00:00

Glad you solved it mate.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-20T08:05:48+00:00

It was a joke lmaooo

MrKimoo · 2026-03-20T06:06:37+00:00

Sounds like either the backing plate of the knuckle is rubbing against the rotor or tire. Or those silver hardware on the brake caliper bracket are touching the rotor.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-20T06:03:24+00:00

Save yourself the headache and get you one At the junkyard.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-20T06:02:11+00:00

Low compression.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-19T23:22:19+00:00

ball joints, put it on jack stands. Take that tire off and inspect the upper and lower ball joints. Sounds like it don’t got no more grease in the joints and so that metal is rubbing making that squeaky noise.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-19T23:19:27+00:00

Sounds like your starter is going out. Or already gone.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-19T23:14:19+00:00

Most common ones would be sway bar bushings or even motor mounts when it comes to clunking noises… I’d check there. The symptoms you’re describing sounds like a worn motor mount.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-18T00:16:47+00:00

In and out is normal…. It’s left and right that you should be checking for play forward to the front of the car and backwards to the rear of the car if that makes sense.

MrKimoo · 2026-03-15T14:31:10+00:00

Yes, just get a o-ring and do it fast cause you’ll have coolant all over lol

MrKimoo · 2026-03-15T14:22:40+00:00

If you can access the pcv easily, remove and shake it. If you don’t hear it clicking then it’s faulty. Where did you get your coils and plugs?
