I am preparing to change the timing belt, etc., on my 1999 Chrysler LHS, and would like to know if a puller is really necessary to remove the harmonic balancer. I do not have a puller of the type shown in the Haynes manual, and I would rather not buy one unless really necessary. Some other...

maybe the belt is loose??? Ernie wrote: > I have a ’01 300M. In the mornings, when you start the car and steer > out of the parkinf spot, it makes a scrreching sound, which is the > power steering pump. I paid for it to be replaced, changed the fluid, > but it squeals, LESS, but it still does....

Our 2001 T&C has an interesting problem. While driving up a steep hill in the middle of Hwy 50 in Nevada (Once dubbed by Life mag as "the loneliest highway in America") the "check engine" light chimed on and the transmission locked up in 2nd gear. This happened the summer before last. Talk about...

When I fill up full tank I can see ( under tank) and smell leaking gas . After using same gas ( 50 - 100 km ) the leak is gone. Any idea what's wrong ? Thanks Chuck

The top of the plastice upper coolant outlet housing has cracked (separated) on my 99 Intrepid (2.7L). This part is on top of the engine and has a bleed screw on it for the cooling system. After I received the replacement part, I was suprised to see that there is a long metal pipe attached to it....

The coolant blew out of my 94 Concorde last week. I was down about a gallon. Car did not overheat, but the temp gauge was nearing the red zone. I refilled and drove home with no problem. Since then I have not used any. I left the car running in the driveway for a half hour with no loss. I...

When I had my recent problem with the engine not starting on my '96 T&C , the dealer replaced the Powertrain Control Module. And that fixed it but now it idles at 1200 instead of the previous 700. I was told that the computer needs to learn the new stuff all over but it has been 2 weeks and it...

I have a 2004 mini-van with the OEM navigation system. I called today to find out how much an updated DVD would cost. Alpine, the supplier, sells them for over $150.00 each. A new version will be out in early 2006. Ouch. Richard.

My transmission has gone south. It will not engage when the car is running and when the motor is off I can not push the car no matter what gear it is in. what happed was I let my wife drive it. She said that while driving down the highway at 70 mph. it felt like the breaks came on. I was able to...

my oil light glows dim and then comes on every once in a while at stop signs ..as soon as i drive away it goes out and stays out. any ideas? and yes it's full of oil.

Hoping someone can help me. I have a '95 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the gas cap door latch recently broke. The cable is still attached, it's just the little "piston" that retracts that literally broke off. I'm thinking it can't be THAT complicated to replace, although I have no auto mechanic...

I've been updating the nagging problems on my 96 Town & Country and this is one I haven't seemed to be able to chase down. No codes showing on the diagnostic. Brake lights and parking brake all seem to work. No other idiot lights working poorly. Anyone ever deal with this?

1992, running lights always stay on. Must removed fuse from under hood to turn off. OR take off battery cable. Is this a switch of some sort? Module? And where the heck is it??

My 99 LH car's front passenger door panel rattles on bumps. I suspect the dealer didn't replace the clips inside the door panel. (It was opened up several times to fix the window and also to fix the microswitch that disarms the alarm when the key unlocks the pass. side door). The service manual...

Hello, all. I have replaced both rear window regulators, but have not connected them yet. Can anyone tell me if I can still purchase the crimp, flat connectors that plug into the regulator harness? They look like the head on a flat head screwdriver. Thanks. Michael

I need to change the coolant in my 99 Caravan 3.8L. It came with the green coolant. Prestone now makes a new long life coolant they say is good for all makes and model. Also can mix with the old green coolant they say. Is it safe to use in my radiator for my van? Has anyone tried it in their...
