Cars & Transportation - 6 August 2006

Was also overheating. Fixed the overheating issue by replacing fan motors, relays, and finding a short under the dash which had blown some large fuses also. Changed temp switch and fixed 3 vacuum leaks also.

Problem still is that the car is stalling when at idle. The car can be driven for about 10 minutes stopping & going before issue happens when coming to a stop (Will rev from 1000rpm to about 1500rpm and then die). Can be driven on the highway reliably and with good pickup until come to a stop/idle. Once the stall occurs, the car can be started only to stall again immediately. Must sit for few hours before can be driven again.

Doesn't appear to be the same engine that came with the vehicle.
One wiring harness coming off the block appears to have no home.

Seals near timing belt are leaking.

Thanks ahead of time for any help. I'm stuck.

Does ANYONE know a web site where I can get a Dodge Neon T-Shirt. I want one with a first generation Neon on it. I already have been to speednation.com, so don't bother suggesting that. I want a realistic looking Neon, all speednation had were cartoon ones! I really want to show my Neon pride. My brother has a '95 Neon and I am getting one in about a year. Once you ride in a nice neon, then you catch the Neon bug! I got it bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not too new to motorcycles, but I'm very new to sportbikes. I've got a '93 GSXR 750. I found myself in a situation going too fast into a corner and just leaned ALOT more (there went my chicken strips) and the bike settled and I got through unscathed and stayed in my lane. What concerns me is getting too low, scraping my foot and pegs (I was LOW, and have a lowered bike),having my foot dragged away, or prying the bike up off it's wheels and making a grease spot on the road. How much can I really lean before that happens? When it does, will it pull my foot off my pegs?

When not started and sitting for more than 30 minutes, oil is at 40psi and engine starts with ease. After starting, runs at max psi, >60.
After shutting off, if oil psi not allowed to drop all the way back to it's resting psi of 40, the engine struggles before starting, like overcoming resistance.
Bought recently. Told it had head job recently. Can see new valve covers and seals, intake, oil pan, flywheel, master cylinder, alternator, wires and plugs.
Truck runs great, I can't find anything wrong with the truck inside or out aside from this.
Oil condition was good, but it had about 1 1/2 quarts over full. I changed oil and filter and filled to correct levels. Same issue.
I'm worried I'm going to blow my seals if the oil-pressure stays this high.
Any information or insight will be greatly appreciated.

There is a shock absorber that locks the hood up. But there is no release to allow me to close it again.

My son paid $1500 dn. on a car Thursday or Friday and his pregnant wife was stopped immediately by the police-they thought she was someone else obviously-the dealership said the police were always stopping their cars. Then she started getting alot of attention from peculiar looking people (who appeared to be involved in drugs)We don't know who owned the car previously and carfax charges for their results.

I've been screwing around with this van for 2 weeks.
According to what I've read about Mopar fault codes, 41 and 46 both pertain to the charging system, one indicates that the field circuit is open or shorted, the other that the charging voltage is too high...I've measured 14.8 to 15.0 volts at the battery with the engine running. That seems OK to me.
If I'm wrong, please offer advice on how to correct the problem and clear these codes.
I recently replaced a coolant temp sensor to clear a 22 code and bring the idle back to normal range. Now the van seems to run OK at idle but while driving the idle speed is increasing to the point where it takes double the effort to stop. Also when you come to a complete stop and shift to Park, the engine races.
As a result of all this, (see my other post) the engine is running hot and getting really bad gas mileage.

I'm completely lost!
