#4860 of 4869 02 Aztek CLUNK into P D R as well as slip by sublimekitty Jul 08, 2009 (7:01 pm)
I have an 02 aztek AWD and everytime i shift into park, drive or reverse i hear a clunk sound, like crunch clunk.. to me it sounds like when a pick up has a bad ujoint. Now being this vehicle is awd i dont know what this sound is from. there is no other drivetrain issues just this crunch. I hear maybe its the prop shaft? not sure what the signs of this being bad are.. my axels are seeming in good condition. I can crawl under the aztek and physically spin the driveshaft slighty and can hear the clunk when i do this. the driveshaft in these are 2 separate looking instead of one long one.    What am i hearing?? how can it be fixed?? pleaseee help!!
#4861 of 4869 Evap canister? by darthporno Jul 22, 2009 (9:10 pm)
Just wondering if anyone knows where the evap canister is on a 2004 tek. Getting a large leak code in the evap system so I want to check it out. I've tightend the fuel cap and put some dryer in the tank so any help would be sweet.

Replying to: darthporno (Jul 22, 2009 9:10 pm) I believe the canister is in the engine compartment, looks sorta like a coffee can. A couple things before you look there in case you haven't checked them out already: Assuming the cap is properly tightened now and not mis-aligned or anything, it may take several restart cycles (maybe a few days) for the light to go out on its own (system runs a check every time vehicle is started and needs a few 'good' checks before turning light off). Also if the seal on cap isn't good it could create the problem and tightening may not help.

Replying to: ray80 (Jul 24, 2009 3:42 am) Thanks Ray. The light turned off yesterday so hopefully thats it for that one. I'm also having a temp issue. The rad doesn't seem to be cooling like it should be. temp goes above half when sitting and cools down to just above 1/4 when driving. I've changed the thermostat(fun), flushed the rad, and taken off the fans(also fun) and sprayed water through the backside of the rad to try to clear out any build up on the radiator and condenser but it seems to have little effect. any thoughts?

Replying to: darthporno (Jul 24, 2009 7:35 am) My 03 Aztec has had a temp. gauge problem since the car was new (registering too high). However, the car has never overheated. The dealer gave up in trying to fix the problem (I could say lots of words here about this!). The gauge still does not register correctly much of the time. Maybe the problem is the instrument cluster or maybe the BCM or something else. Anyway, my point is make sure the engine temperature is out of spec. before you worry too much about it.

Replying to: darthporno (Jul 24, 2009 7:35 am) Kinda scary seeing that neddle go up towards the red when sitting for extended period. It is however a normal thing for it to go up that high and it is operating within normal specs. If you happened to have radio off and in a quiet place (with air off) you might be able to hear when fans come on and think its sorta late but is operating normaly. As long as it does go down once your moving again and doesn't actually hit the red zone you shoud be fine though.
#4866 of 4869 water water everywhere by jettinagain1 Oct 23, 2009 (12:15 pm)

#4867 of 4869 surging problem, transmission by jettinagain1 Oct 23, 2009 (1:07 pm)
i will add this to anyone needing some advise on an engine surge problem. i had a problem with my car surging when i came to a stop light the rpm's would go up to about the 4500 range. i took it to a transmission guy, told him about a selinoid problem i had heard about, he dismissed me and told me it would be 1900.00 to replace my transmission. i took my car back had it towed to another transmission guy, told him about the selinoid, he had heard of this problem checked it out. bottom line with the tow and fixing my problem 162.00 no joke. this guy saved me 1700.00. if the other guy had put in the transmission it would not have fixed my problem because the selinoid is behind the gas pedal. heads up peeps do ur research. especially on older cars out of warranty.

Replying to: jettinagain1 (Oct 23, 2009 12:15 pm) You didn't say where there water is, but I'll assume in the front. If you have a sunroof that is the first place I'd look, the drains may be plugged (there are 4 of them). Next thing I might wonder about is HVAC system ( I believe there is something for AC that drains that could be a problem), also check the condition of cabin air filters to see if they are wet. Windshield seal is also possible as when as a door seal (that would usually mean only one side wet)
