Ok, here we go, i bought my car last april from the crappiest used car sales place ever a-z auto sales(they suck never go there, i learned that the hardway), now i'm 18 and i dont have a lot of friggin money but nonetheless i need a car for college. So onto the problems, sqealing from drivers side tire during driving it squeals, i have this horrible clicking problem with a steady click during starting to shutting the engine off and a nasty noisy clicking noise when i accelerate, then i have a horrific loss of power after the car has been running for 5-10 minutes. I have to think of what else is wrong with it... when i accelerate its somewhat choppy not smooth at all, idle is low hovers at 6000 not smooth either, i have performed the vtc ground and it has made no difference what soever, i still had the crappy idle before that as well now it is a little worse but not much. anything else hmm...ah yes i have all new spark plugs, 4 new coils with 2 more on the way, oil changed 2 weeks ago left axle was replaced in May, all 6 cylinders have been replaced in June. I need some help with this one guys, i have done so many searches i am sick of doing them so i'm sorry if you guys get irrtated at me for this but i'm at my whits end. Thanks so much if you read this. Peace

how did you manage to do that one?

sadmaxima

my mechanic did this, one cylinder went completly caput so more than likely the rest will go caput so i replaced them all and went $1200 in debt . So i hope that helps sudesh. peace

yeah, i know what you mean. i bought a lemon 91 gxe. tranny died only like 2000 miles after i drove it. hit 100,000 miles and died. i thought that only happened to domestics but then later on i found out it basically has a domestic tranny in it... those bastards. there's an a-z auto around here and i heard it sucks really bad too.

When i put the car in reverse or drive (auto, duh.) it has a lag time of a couple seconds, and sometimes it shifts really hard. i'm cartarted but trying to learn. peace

My friend's 97 Saturn was like that and then a couple weeks later it started to make a clunking noise when he put it into reverse, and then a couple weeks after that he had to rebuild his transmission (about 40,000 miles) Hopefully this isn't the same situation. Good luck!

Check out this post. I had a similar issue a while back and doing this fixed it

Also, the noise in the turns and when driving. It could be your wheel bearings. Get that fixed soon becasue if your wheel bearing seizes, then you're screwed since the wheel will basically stop turning from what I understand. It's about 350 if a mechanic does it.

sadmaxima

thank you medic, my dad is sortof the guy whos like dont fix it till it breaks type of a guy (farm-boy ) so more than likely when i asked him to get my car checked out and told him what you told me about the wheel bearings he of course said wait and see what happens, i have to go through my old man before i do anything for my car, aside from the fact i'm friggin paying for it hes just being a chump...anywho thanks for the help...peace

sadmax- i'm a Green Bay resident... if you decide to have it repaired, go to Wadzinski's (spelling?) in green bay. i'm had all my engine/powertrain work done there, they do a great job and don't fix things that aren't broken (cough cough... DEALER..)
