Alright, as of Oct.5.2005 I am a 95 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD owner. However;

Problem #1 The car idles at anywhere from 1500-3000rpms. It has a 3" downpipe all the way to the 3" exhaust(muffler). I have an air/fuel gauge, and it reads "Lean". I went out and bought fuel injector cleaner today hoping that would help some, but it didnt. It sounds like there is a vacum leak somewhere on the right side of the engine bay.

Problem #2 When Im turning there is a loud noise coming from the front suspension, Im gona take a guess and say its a bearing...

Problem #3 Every other time when I turn the car on, there is the loudest squeling belt noise I have ever heard, what belt is this coming from? How do I solve this problem?

Thanks, Jay

Here are some videos I took today.

The first one is when I was getting on the expressway.

The second one is the noise. Looking at the video it seems more like the noise is coming from the downpipe area but Im not really sure. The noise is heard at the beginning of the vid.

The third one is expressway again.

Problemo Numero Uno: You tried adjusting the idle itself? And yes, a vacuum leak could cause the high idle, after the airflow sensor. Take some carb and choke cleaner and spray it around to see where the idle changes.

Problem Numero Dos: Probably a bearing.

Problem Numero Tres: Replace em all, might as well. Mileage? You prob need them all changed anyway.

Whip if you need help, I wouldn't mind meeting up with you and having a look to see whats up.

Cool give me a call sometime tomorrow 796-4270. My name is Jay BTW.

are u talking about the poping noise?

Jay we would have to do this on Tuesday since I will be in Michigan for Thanksgiving.

SilentSecret - the poping noise in the first and third video is coming from my exhaust, I just dont know why. My A/F gauge reads lean, but I average about 7-8mpg so it makes me think Im running rich, not lean. In the second video right at the beginning of it you can hear the annoying noise as Im turning, this is a different noise then the poping while Im accelerating.

tanc - thats fine, give me a call anytime after 3pm on tuesday.

You get 7-8mpg? Sounds like you bought a piece of crap car more than anything...

Word...well it runs still, so worst case scenario is the engine it totally screwed and I need to replace it with a 6 bolt...Im gona try to fix this and if I cant then I start saving for another engine.

How many miles are on it, and what maintenence have you done to it since you bought it?

You compression checked it? :S
