well, i dont like being an ***.... i dont want to sell my car when i know that it has a few problems.

so im trying to touch it up a bit so that i can be confident that the buyer of my car wont have future problems.

problem 1)
i recently noticed that when im braking (just normal braking, nothing heavy) i hear clicking noises. it sounds like ABS on newer cars when they are under heavy braking. it is also that loud too. it sounds annoying and not too healthy.

problem 2)
too much vibration was a big problem ever since i bought my car... i could take a guess that it is the motor mounts. but im not too sure.

problem 3)
i noticed that when im in a traffic jam and my car is idling for a long time, the motor over heats... (i see the temp gauge going up) but as soon as im rolling again, it drops back to mid temperature.

problem 4)
its hard to downshift into 4th. its always the downshift... shifting up to 4th is good, but i always have to take a second pull at it to get it in gear. (annoying..)

those are my only problems... please check my sig to view the new parts that ive installed on the car.

thanks for your help guys, i know that i can rely on your answers.

 

anyone?
its ok if u only know the solution to one of them.... help is help...

 

well is the click change with your speed? it really doesnt matter i guess... is your cooling fan turning on????

 

yes the click changes with speed.... so i think it has something to do with a joint somewhere...

hmm... im not sure if my cooling fan ever turns on. i should check up on that.

 

check over your coolling system for the heating up at idle..

Does you Rad fan come on? If not there is a sensor on the back of the block that turns the fan on... take off and jumper the wire with the car on and see if the fan turns on..
Have you checked to see if the Thermostat works properly?


PS girl in the avatar is cute.. but you knew that..

 

ok, i will check the wiring.... but how can i check if the thermostat is working properly? isnt it imbedded in the block?

thanks for the help
any idea on the "clicking sound"?


lol ya that girl is so cute
"boa" is her name if u wana search the net for her
