I've got a 94 Saturn that I changed the spark plugs, oil, filter, turned air filter, and topped up transmission fluid today.
Before it goes to the shop Sunday night, does anyone have any ideas?
The symptoms:
In Drive: While idling, Car wants to stall, makes clicking sounds from the motor. That old clunker death sound, if you know what I mean.
In Reverse: Same thing, but takes a couple of seconds to actually go into gear before wanting to stall.
In Park: Sounds rough, but not wanting to stall.
Visual observation with the hood up, the motor is shaking around alot more than a motor should.
There is an oil leak somewhere internal, been that way since we paid $400 for it 6 years ago. No oil spots on the ground, just needs a quart topped off every week or two, depending on use. The crankcase is also very leaky-looking on the outside, while the oil pan is dry.
So..... I've spent over $800 in the last two weeks on automotive problems with the other car. Before I go any further, is there any last ditch ideas from any of you experts? I'd much appreciate them.
