cylinder head and or gasket leaking

If you are losing water, check your oil and if it is light brown or milky, than you have a bad head gaskets or cracked head. If not check your radiator hoses for kinks, cracks or blockage due to corrosion.

It's probably time to replace the belt. As the belt gets older, it stretches and a "glaze" forms on the belt. These two things together contribute to the belt slipping. The squeal you hear is the belt actually slipping on the pulleys.

shift cable snapped apart so a new one will be needed

Hello! I would suggest having a look at the Brown wire that connects to the starter solenoid...It may be touching chassis ground...Also check the Large Red lead that attaches to the starter...One or both are touching chassis ground...If the Red lead is against ground it will not blow a fuse, in that it is connected directly to battery...And give the systoms that you have...Guru...saailer I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_6df67de3b14de867

Dead battery, also get your alternator checked, should be free from any local shop as it only takes a few minutes.

Camshaft position sensor "B" circuit. You probably had a camshaft sensor bad, but check the wiring going to the sensors. Please rate my answer so I get points for it.

these bulbs go in from behind the headlight assy. from under the hood look at the back of the headlight and locate the wiresgoing to the back of the headlight you can turn the connector or pull it out gently then turn the back of the bulb to remove it replacement is the reverse-- don't touch the glass of the new bulb, handle it by the base-fingerprints will shorten the life of a bulb of this type some parts stores will sell you the bulb and replace it for you if its not to hard for them-- too difficult then the automotive center at wally world or k mart will replace it for a fee

I recommend every 50,000 miles under normal conditions.If you do a lot of short trips, 'stop & go', pull a trailer, or live in a hot or dusty location, change every 30,000 miles.

hi what you mean still wont come out of first gear.like what ... you start the car and you drive in (d) explain , what you can .

make sure the cooling fans on the rad are working,then you may need the thermostat changed as if its stuck closed the motor will overheat and boil over.you can also get a block check done which will check for combustion chamber gases which indicate either a bad headgasket or a head problem.these are popular for headgasket problems.

Yep! Take the heater hoses loose from the engine(one at water pupm\\mp and other one at thermostat housing area usually). Then take your water hose at your house,with a common old pistol grip nozzle,and spray water back thru the heater hose you took off the water pump side and that will force it back thru the heater core and out the hose you took off the thermostat side. If you want to see the junk that flies out of it,tie a white rag or old tee shirt onto the end of the hose.You'll be amazed what flies out of there.Reconnect your heater hoses and see how it does. I always fill the hose full of water so when I reconnect them,they don't have any airlock problem. don-ohio (:^)

• See the diagram below for a visual of your starter installed.

• The alternator wire goes on top of the battery cable just like it sounds like you did. If something sparked you might have a loose connection from the starter install. The sparks mean there was a real bad direct short somewhere. You will have to look and find it. Remove the negative battery cable until your reinspect your job.

You really just have to get in there with a rag and clean it up. If you dont see the leak right away clean everything that looks wet and look the next day to see where it is wet again. Then you will be able to see where the leak is coming. Did you pay for this solution or is it free?? just wondering fix ya has a new site so i dont know how it works yet. Let me know. Thanks

I have done some chrysler vehicles that the hole that the unit screws into has to be cleaned also, mostly durango's. But when you change a oil sending unit and it doesn't help, light or gauge. then the crankshaft bearings are worn and it's time for an engine rebuild or replacement.

Is there a code stored in the PCM isolating #3 cylinder? When was the last time the spark plugs were inspected or replaced? How many miles are on your vehicle?

Hello, what kind of noise? Clanking, whining, knocking, cladder, squawking,squeaking, rattling, etc...
It could be a number of things. But first, have you ever had the automatic transmission fluid changed? If you have a lot of miles on your vehicle and never had the transmission fluid changed out, ti might be to late. The biggest killer of automatic transmissions is heat. The heat generated by the transmission gradual destroy the viscosity of the auto transmission fluided. GB...stewbison

Radiator Cap. I know it sounds stupid but it fixed my 97 Breeze.

On the Cirrus, Stratus, Breeze and Sebring convertible, a frame-mounted fuel filter is located on the frame rail,
above the rear of the fuel tank.

Here is some information from a repair guide...
