97 dodge intrepid. motor is thunking when its running and in gear

When i turn my dodge intrepid on it makes a thunking noise. when i put it in gear it does the same thing. when i drive it the thunking gets louder and faster. it doesnt pick up speed that well (loss of horsepower). and im thinking it might be a piston or the crankshaft. i havent oiled it in a while but as soon as i herd the thunking i did right away but i think its to late.

Sounds like you already know what is wrong with it. It most likely needs a motor, or a rebuild.

1998 pontiac GP makes thuunk when put in reverse

It is the rear motor mount. If there is a load on the motor it will make the noise and if there isnt any loud on it it wont make it. They should put a new one on it and maybe they could sell the car faster. There is three motor mounts on this car , one on the frount of the motor and one near the fan and another on the trans in back of the motor.

My 97 intrepid is making a high pitched noise and dont want to shift

If the noise happens while vehicle is in all gears including park and neutral then its the bearing of the oil pump in your torque converter.
Time for a rebuild.

My 97 dodge intrepid is fine if i put it straight into drive but when i put it in reverse it makes a loud grinding noise and continues into all gears

good luck them cars are headaches. but i work on similar if not the same situation but you have to raise the front of the vehicle to be sure. i do believew the bearings may be worn in either driveaxles. more than likely its the inner cv joint. passenger side

My 97 dodge intrepid 3.5L is running hot.

Most likely a bad fan relay, or a bad temp sensor. Does the fan come on with the A/C? If not, most likely the relay, if so, most likely the temp sensor.
