problem #1

Sebring Base 2.4L Dohc

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,000 miles

The engine is making noise at idle and during acceleration. Not sure what the ticking problem is, I had someone replace the alternator idler that I purchased from Chrysler and the alternator belt because it was wobbling. They were telling me the problem was one of the balance shafts and I am not sure. The more I step on the gas the more noise the engine makes, from what I can tell I think its a cam that is bad. And the noise is periodic. Wonder which of the cams it is on the DOHC. From this article http://www.justanswer.com/questions/jgn9-1998-dodge-stratus-2-4-l-4cyl I am guessing this is the problem.



Update from Jul 18, 2009: I took the car into Sterling Heights Dodge since my workplace was closed for 2 week plant shutdown. I work at Chryler as well :) Glad I did it cost me a wopping 100 dollars and 2 days time. The problem was a bad flywheel. I could not figure it out for the life of me. Im glad the old guy working on it with the "rookie" was there to find it.
