Engine identification numbers

My car has a suspension problem in the front, i think its the cv axle. i havent fixed it yet, and while driving down the highway i started to hear what sounded like gravel kicking up. the noise stopped and my engine light came on. the codes read were p0133, p0440, and code c1275. what do you think those codes could be for? are they related to the suspension problem?

Engine identification numbers ????????? These are OBD 2 DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes. The onboard computer see a problem with EVAP emission system , O2 sensor , DTC C1275 -The PCM diagnoses a condition preventing the engine control portion of the traction control function and sends a serial data message to the EBCM indicating that torque reduction is not allowed. The PCM will typically set a DTC and the EBCM will set this DTC. You think a CV axle - your best bet ,take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop .

SOURCE: Engine misfire, EGR replaced still rough idle!

First, check the passageway to the egr valve to make sure it is clear (often plugs up with carbon) second, make sure that the egr control is working. Also a good idea to have any codes checked and old ones cleared.Computer may need to cycle a few times to "learn"new parameters.
In general, it is good to shut down your engine when check engine light comes on...The next step after that is to determine why the light came on.
If the cause is an oil related or coolant related item, you should drive no further 'till it's corrected...However, there are numerous sensors that can turn it on with no disasterous results if you continue to drive One example is the light coming on because a gas cap has not been put on correctly...On many vehicles this will turn on the light and set a code, but the car will suffer no damage if you drove to your destination before correcting it.So, if the light comes on and it is not overheating and you have good oil pressure, and you hear no noises from engine, have it looked at but don't put yourself in danger on the side of a major highway for a nonsense code.
Most major parts houses will read codes free...take advantage of that service and get yourself a basic repair manual, so you have an idea what all the stuff under your hood is and does.
Good luck with your car!!

SOURCE: engine code p0410

If the air pump is working then it's going to be the one way check valve at the manifold. It's common for the check valves to go bad before the air pump, check the pipe from the pipe to the manifold too.
Before you get that far i believe there was a TSB and the warranty is 5 years to the emission system on vehicles. Looks like your close to the end of your 5 year so step on it to the dealer while you can still get a deal on this repair.
Good luck and hope this helps.

What is the noise on 2009 dodge charger hearing clunking noise when driving and when turning

Check out your CV axle and all steering components. Raise vehical, support it, have friend turn steerling wheel. While the friend is turning the wheel. Watch all moving parts Make sure the rubber boot is sealed. If seal is broken look for water in greese and broken, loose or wobbly pieces. If just water and little dirt. Remove axle, remove rubber boot, wash with parts cleaner, install new rubber boot, repack with fresh high temp bearing grease, seal boot, reinstall axle and now test drive. Now if you find more wrong replace with new.

From what you describing I would bet on CV Axle.

2001 Impala, strong right to left vibration felt in the front end ONLY when accelerating, NOT felt through steering wheel NOT felt when coasting, or slowing down, strait or turning vehicle tracks...

Has to be a drive axle,most likely an inner joint,should be able to feel the play if one is bad (jacked up to let the wheel spin freely).
Also. If the front suspension is weak,or lowered, the CV axle will bottom out in the inner plunge cup and make a terrible vibration.

FRONT DRIVE AXLE Identification The front axle assembly used on most 4wd models covered by this manual utilizes a central disconnect type front axle/transfer case system which allows shifting in and out of 4wd when the vehicle is moving under most driving conditions. The axle has an aluminum carrier which includes a vacuum activated center lock feature. The axle on the MFI-Turbo is designed for full-time four wheel drive and therefore is not equipped with a disengagement feature. With this one exception, the MFI-Turbo and standard 4wd front axle assemblies are very similar. The drive axles employ completely flexible assemblies which consist of inner and outer constant velocity (CV) joints connected by an axle shaft. The inner CV joint is a "tri-pot'' design, which is completely flexible and can move in and out. The outer CV joint is a "Rzeppa'' design which is also flexible but cannot move in or out. NOTE: For more information on front axle identification, please refer to Section 1 of this manual. prev.gif next.gif

Clunking sound from front wheels, suspension on Hyundai Atos

It sounds like the CV joints are due to be replaced. Make sure you get them replaced and do not drive it too far, because the CV joints will fail anytime now. Once the CV joints fail, your going to have to get the car towed to get it fixed. Good luck and keep me posted, Oh and don't buy the car from there, who knows what else is wrong with the car that they are hiding from you.
