ok I just picked my car up from having the starter motor replaced.
when i started it, it was idling rough as hell.. and stalled in D.. so i figured it just needed to be driven.. so i started driving it back home and it was running better.
stalled on me tons of times.. when i would stop at a light. I filled the tank and put fuel injector cleaner in it for the hell of it... then it needed a car wash anyways..
i go to pick up my girlfriend and tell her the SC is being a bitch. We were going to wal mart so I could get some mobil 1 and a new filter.. ( 400 miles before 3000 ) because i figured I would change the oil.
So im leaving her house and I kind of get on it, because i noticed there seems to be a loss in power... right after I get to about 60 and slow down, i notice a very faint clicking. and im like ~~~~.
stalls at the light, I start it up again to drop my car off and have her drive. Then it starts shuddering and making a squeeking sound like a rickety wheel... so I am just devastated because I havent heard that since, i had a 94 cougar with a knocking 3.8 NA from a rod bearing or something. except there was no knocking with the SC, then the squeeking stopped.
Naturally I had to drive it home, and I didnt even realize it but my oil gauge was below red ( never had problems with the gauge ). Then we noticed that the tube that holds the dipstick is all loose...
~~~ is going on ?? did someone sabatoge my engine at the shop ?
So here I am today out in the cold about to do an oil change...
