#13 of 72 Lower Intake Manifold Gasket by wearesaylors Jun 03, 2007 (10:20 am)
To change the gasket really is not that hard, it is however, time consuming. I spent 12 hours with myself and two other "gear heads" replacing the gasket on my 2000 Alero 3.4 L V-6 . It was actually a lot of fun and allowed me to get to know where every single thing on that engine was. See if there is a Haynes manual, we found that to be very helpful. Hope this helps Replies to this message: ccerna1 (Dec 16, 2006 3:13 pm) geraldirish (Jan 31, 2007 4:15 am) ccerna1 (Jan 31, 2007 7:24 am) geraldirish (Feb 05, 2007 9:15 am) suzy47 (Dec 08, 2007 10:18 am) justalady (Sep 20, 2007 7:15 pm) ccerna1 (Sep 21, 2007 6:05 am)
#15 of 72 AZtek 03 engine knocking studder by ccerna1 Dec 16, 2006 (3:13 pm)
Replying to: wearesaylors (Jun 03, 2007 10:20 am) I have an 03 Aztek, while driving this morning all of a sudden the check engine light came on. The engine was studerring, and running real rough as if it was going to turn off and there is knocking noise.   I just broke 53k miles on this car, I was thinking maybe a sensor probably needs replacing, since I can only go as fast as 20mph, I opted not to take to auto zone, and have the diagnostic tool tell me what wrong.   HAs anyone else had these issues? I hate to take it and just to find out it was something simple. Replies to this message: geraldirish (Jan 31, 2007 4:15 am) ccerna1 (Jan 31, 2007 7:24 am)

Replying to: ccerna1 (Dec 16, 2006 3:13 pm) O'no it's nothing simply. I had that issue while on travel for the Holidays. Mostly likely you will need a new engine, mine only had 62k on it. The Head Gaskets are blown amongst many, many other things I'm sure. I actually got on here to see if anyone had my same problem. They denied my warranty because I had it fixed in maryland without consulting them. I live in michigan, don't keep my warranty information in the car.

Replying to: ccerna1 (Dec 16, 2006 3:13 pm) Yes I just went thru this with my wife's Aztek and she just broke 50k miles.   The problem that was it was a spring,and a rubber gramet on one of the pistons, to make a long story short we spend 300.00 to get it repair.   The car acts as if is running out of gas, studerrin, like is gonna die, and theres a knocking sound on the front of the engine.   IMPORTANT: what ever you do take it to the mechanic as soon as possible do not drive it, if a piece falls inside of the engine it will be a very expesive car bill.Let me know how it works out.
#18 of 72 ENGINE TROUBLES by geraldirish Feb 05, 2007 (9:15 am)
Replying to: wearesaylors (Jun 03, 2007 10:20 am) Has anyone had major engine problems with the 2003 Azteks. Anything would be greatly appreciated. I've talked to numerous people about blown head gaskets and replace engines with less then 50k miles. I am pushing for a recall or some type of compensation because this is ridiculous. If you have had issues like this please email me at irishgerald22yahoo.com   Thanks Replies to this message: suzy47 (Dec 08, 2007 10:18 am)

Replying to: justalady (Sep 20, 2007 7:15 pm) You know as much as I love this car there's just waaay too many issues.When I took our car in for similar problem, the mechanic told me that he has seen this problem on '03 and sometimes even less than 50k miles.   The problem with ours was one of the seals err headgasket was broken, that's why I was saying on my post do not drive the car any further if a piece falls into the engine it will be a very expensive repair bill.
