Hi there. Although a physical inspection would be required to confirm this, based on what you have described, it's quite possible you experienced a backfire, which might have caused damage to the throttle body and even the linkage. If the...
Check to be sure that the new belt is actually the right part number or, better yet, use an OEM (dealer) belt. Also, be sure the tensioner is the right part number or use an OEM sourced tensioner. Check to...
You can use any conventional antifreeze in a motor like this. Nearly all engines use coolants with similar base fluids: a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol and water. In some circumstances, industrial engines may utilize other base fluids, such as...
Worn ball joints and tie rod ends could account for the noise. If you have CV axles in the front, failure of the outboard CV joint would cause similar noise. To have those suspension components inspected, and replaced as needed,...
Hi there. Blue devil and other head gasket sealers tend to cause more problems than solutions - especially if there is actual damage to the head gasket. In many cases, the material will break off and actually flow through the...
Hi There, A number of things may cause the truck no to start. In the case of a fuel delivery problem, this may be related to low fuel pressure, faulty or dirty fuel injectors, a faulty or dirty idle air...
I would first check engine compression. Inasmuch as the engine uses oil, that raises the possibility of leaky piston rings. If the rings leak, compression could be low and power will be lower than it could be. If the plugs...
Hi There, It sounds like you may have a fuel supply problem that may be getting an inconsistent amount of fuel to the motor, which may be what is causing the backfiring and the bogging down. A faulty or leaking...
Hi there. Although a supercharger sound is great to hear with most Dodge performance engines, this sound on a street car is often an indicator of two different problems. First, it could be a vacuum or exhaust leak or perhaps...
I would recommend placing the vehicle back on all four wheels and see if that noise still exists. I would also recommend test driving the vehicle to determine if the transmission functions properly otherwise. If the noise only happens one...

Check to see what on your exhaust system is hooked up. If your catalytic converter is hooked up and the pipes are hooked to the engine with good gaskets, then as long as the sensors are working, there is nothing...
The Car-Part.com database uses interchange data to display parts matches for individual makes, models and years. As you know, there is a proliferation of part variations that can often make it maddening to obtain exact and appropriate replacement parts. The...
Hi There, It sounds like you may have a clogged fuel injector or potentially a faulty injector that is fried internally. I would suggest testing them if you have access to a multi meter. Disconnect the injector from the electrical...
Hi there. One thing that even professional mechanics tend to forget is double checking all electrical connections to sensors and engine monitors that might have been disconnected during the serpentine belt and pulley change. In most cases, it's the crankshaft...
