#1233 of 1272 New engine??? by chickh1

Jul 22, 2009 (2:08 pm)

OK I was driving down the road 65mph the car started to sputter (like it was not getting enough gas) went about 2 miles and it stalled at a intersection it started and I drove it less than a mile and it stalled and wouldn't start. I let it sit till the next day and checked to see if it ran out of gas it had plenty of gas and it started right upso I headed for a mechanic when it got up to operarting temp it stalled and wouldn't start called for a tow and by the time the tow arrived it started and the driver drove it onto the truck. the mechanic ran a computer diagnostic and said it needed a crank sensor and a cam sensor. When the mechanic fixed this and did a full tune up I picked up the car and drove less then 15 miles and the car made a clanking noise and stalled at an intersection. I started it and pulled it into a parking space (less than 50 yards) shut it off because there was a rattling comming from the front top of the engine (there was no smoke or steam comming from the exhaust) I called the mechanic and he sent a tow truck. The next morning the mechanic said that I had blown a head gasket and there was coolant in the oil and I needed to replace the engine. I asked what the rattle was and he said that it was probably a a spun bearing but apparently he had not done anything past discovering coolant in the oil.
Would the computer diag shown any indication that this could have happened.
Does this sound like the engine really needs to be replaced, I thought head gaskets could be replaced
what do you think I should do?

#1234 of 1272 2000 Concorde overheating/fan problem (full description) by troydaboy

Jul 27, 2009 (5:55 pm)

I drove to visit my gf in Maryland and attend our dr appt to get our first sonogram for my 1st child.After finding out I'm having a little girl,my joy was somewhat washed away when my car began overheating.The next day,I reluctantly took it to a local mechanic in her area.15 minutes and $40 later,the guy informs me that the cause of the overheating is because my radiator fans won't turn on at all thus not cooling down the engine when it gets hot.He said he cheked the fuse box and it was fine.He said there is a problem with the relay to the fans,causing them not to turn on.I stopped him before he went any further in fear that he would completely drain my wallet.He wanted to order a "sensor" that he wasn't even sure was the problem or the solution and told me it was "non-refundable" so even if it didnt fix the issue,i'd still be responsible for the $90 dollars he claims it cost.PLEASE,IF YOU HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE ON THIS ISSUE,I NEED YOUR HELP.I DONT START WORKING UNTIL AUG,I NEED TO GO BACK TO VA SO I CAN MOVE TO BEGIN WORK AND THE BIRTH OF MY 1ST CHILD IS STEADILY APPROACHING.I only bought this concorde as a sacrifice for my child.i wanted a sebring convertible or a firebird but i figured the gigantic trunk space,smooth ride and spaceous interior would be a huge help for a new dad.I want a car thats going to be reliable for my gf and my daughter.It's our only vehicle.
 
Went to mechanic today and he tried to push both fans with a pole.one moved freely (passenger side).the other was locked in place
 
p.s. its a 3.2 6 cylinder.just got an oil change if that helps any.

#1235 of 1272 Swap out radio....? by jph_lxi

Aug 07, 2009 (9:18 am)

I've located an 6-disc radio/cd player to replace the standard one in my '02 LXi. Has anyone done this? How does the burled-wood (plastic) trim come off that surrounds the radio?
 
Help please
 
John

Pry it off gently with a flat head screwdriver. There are clips that hold it in place. That's how I got mine off.

#1238 of 1272 Passenger side window and rear windows of '98 Concorde LXI by lasalle1

Sep 07, 2009 (9:39 pm)

Does anyone know how to take off the door covers on the inside to check motors and guides of the power windows. The passenger side window doesn't stay in its rails, and I always have to pull it up on one side to close it. It opens ok though.
 
The rear windows don't move at all. Can someone make a suggestion as to what to look for?
 
Thanks.

yes is cold heating the part cerry red then use a over size sakit and slowly tap in when the part is heated it become biger giving you room to do it but the part is hot so look out and save your $50.00 for the next part you need on the 2.7

#1241 of 1272 94 concorde transmission problems by mookie625

Sep 16, 2009 (10:19 am)

I just brought this car in june with a little over 117k on it. I put a 1k on it since then since i have to drive to a larger city for medical treatments bi-weekly. anyway when I back out of my parking space the car is fine but, when I go to put it in drive it hesitates really bad . do i need to buy a whole new transmission or can it be something like a filter or sensor ? I really do like this car and everything else works great. thanks in advance.
