    Oil Leaks

    Did you get this figured out? on my 94 ATX, the 2 major oil leaks I had were the oil pressure switch on the drivers side, which certainly can leak like an open faucet when it gets warm, but it usually falls straight to the ground. And the Crank Seal on the passenger side, which also leaked...

    Starting Problem

    I agree with the battery connection. my 95 MTX developed an issue where it wouldnt start sometimes. it would click the starter solonoid, but not turn. at first it almost seemed like the clutch was not letting go cause if I put it in neutral and let the car roll a little, then it would start...

    oil smoke from under hood

    Ive had a slight smoke issue for quite some time coming from the front of the engine (passenger side) and usually only could see it when coming to a stop after the car was warm. it would smoke a little and then stop once whatever it was had burned off. its usually much more noticable in the...

    Slapping Noise. (Video)

    I had the slapping noise in my 94 ATX a few summers back. I went nuts trying to chase it down because it carried through the entire engine and made it difficult to tell where it was actually coming from. Like you we feared it was a valve or piston taping. I finally found it what it was after...
