unsure what the problem is, how to replace, noise, where to purchase?just let me know. also make model and front or rear

Sounds like a rocker arm or valve. Get it to a certified Mech. right away. If you try to drive it anymore you could cause fatal damage.

YOU MIGHT HAVE A DEFECTIVE BATTERY ALSO CHECK YOUR BATTERY CONNECTION

If the engine gets really hot it take just a few minutes. If the system runs out of coolant seconds.

For that year auto i would check your local salvage dealers and junk yards often you can even request a color that even matches your own as well. And seek out a salvage hotline which has access to other junk yards then you can request your hood in blue red or what have you and it can be shipped directly to your front door. Remember to rate my solution Thanks in advance.

That is BS. There is a product on the market called Blue Devil that works well if you follow the instructions. You will need to change the oil if it is creamy. I would only do this if you do not have money to have the head pulled and the gasket changed. The heads could also be warped. I have had some customers that wanted to do this wrather than repair it correctly, and have had three out of four successes. Hope this info was of good use to you.

Always crank motor over by hand with a ratchet or breaker bar before attempting to start with key. You can very well ruin or lock up your motor if the timing is incorrect before you try to start with key. If its locked up, unhook battery. Place ratchet and socket on crank pully. rotate in reverse and then try to rotate forward. If there is anything holding the motor from turning by hand, pull timing belt and make sure everything is aligned correctly and try to crank by hand again 2 or 3 revolutions. If tight or locked, then motor needs inspected for bent, jammed valves, broken pistons.

Hi there:DTC P1255 - Pedal Correlation PDS2 and LPDS LowIt's when there is the wrong voltage between the electric throtlle body, and the electric gas padle assemblys. Either there is something wrong with the throttle body electric motor, the gas padle was disconnected, or there might be something else Im overlooking.You need to be aware that some diagnostic equipment can put out spurious fault codes which are extremely misleading.Hope this helps.

The turn signal/hazzard flasher is a small unit ( little black box, 5 prongs ) Located between the fuse box and brake peddle on a braket under the drivers side air conditioning duct. At some point and time in 1995 dodge swiched over in the middle of production so some 95 intrepid and 96 and 97 should all be the same.

No sounds like you have a short somewhere

If you mean axle nuts-the big nut on the axle at center of wheel-no, they are not self-tightening, just turned down real tight-about 150 ft.lbs. They are regular threaded, so to undo, turn them counter-clockwise.

Please Watch the YouTube video of the job, it is the same basic procdeure no matter the make or model front wheel drive car. Click this LINK

There two catalytic converters and two O2 sensors. Code PO154 Bank 2 sensor 1 which is the driver side sensor staying in the middle range, it might need replacing. Normally the O2 would go active or lazy but staying in the middle is new for me.

Check engine light is normally an emision based problem (o2 sensors, airflow sensor etc...) you will need to have your computer scaned to extract the fault.

The first thing that must be done here is to have the computer tested for fault codes with a scanner.
