Replying to: loams2 (Aug 31, 2005 9:52 am) Have the crankshaft harmonic balancer checked for deterioration. The 2.3L and 2.4L engines have had a problem with the rubber element between the hub and outer ring separating. Replies to this message: loams2 (Sep 01, 2005 8:01 am) alcan (Sep 01, 2005 1:05 pm)

Replying to: geneticmishap (Aug 31, 2005 2:50 pm) You will need to splice into a 12V source that is always live, such as the courtesy light circuit, ignition, etc. If it was me I would probably just run a line from the battery or a live terminal on the fusebox. Use an inline fuse. The question is though why would you want to run a fan inside the car when your not there? Don't you think it's just going to move the hot air around? I'm assuming that your goal is to try to keep it cooler when parked in the sun.

Replying to: alcan (Aug 31, 2005 6:05 pm) Thanks. Is the rubber element to the crankshaft harmonic balancer an "annoyance" or something that can be a major problem? Replies to this message: alcan (Sep 01, 2005 1:05 pm)

Replying to: loams2 (Sep 01, 2005 8:01 am) If the outer ring completely separates from the hub it'll wipe out anything in it's path, so yes it could be a major problem.

I have a problem with my brakes. I think it could possibly be my ABS. but i dont know. My problem is when i start to brake, when my speed hits 15 or below my brake pedal starts to shake back and forth and i hear a grinding in the engine. Does anyone know or have had anything like this happen? Replies to this message: bolivar (Sep 12, 2005 10:07 pm)
#1965 of 4960 Driving with oxygen sensor disconnected by rln1 Sep 01, 2005 (8:19 pm)
I'm following the manufacturer's workshop manual in trying to troubleshoot an infrequent stalling problem. The manual lists a half-dozen possible causes. One suggestion is to disconnect the oxygen sensor, drive the car, and see whether the problem goes away. If it does, then the oxygen sensor should be replaced. My question: Will test-driving the car with the oxygen sensor disconnected foul the catalytic converter? My highly experienced mechanic advises not driving the car unless the sensor is hooked up. I'd be grateful for an expert opinion.
#1966 of 4960 throttle body noise by rlenz2711 Sep 02, 2005 (3:48 am)
I have a 92 chevy 350 tbi. there is a loud knocking noise coming from the throttle body until the engine warms up. It quiets down after about 10 minutes. Could this be the injectors or the pressure regulator. using a stethoscope the noise is all over the top of the throttle body. Thanks
