There is a knocking under my 03 Navigator whenever I am idle. Very irratating and almost embarrassing when at a light or stop sign. what is this...the ball joint, muffler, exhaust, what? ...I need advise before going to the dealership and always feeling like I'm getting ripped off.

Sounds like maybe a loose heat shield or exhaust part. My guess is that a trip to speedy muffler or similar, will have you in & out without all the worry. Remember, once the diagnosis is done, they have to ask if you want it repaired and give an estimate for you to o.k. it. If it sounds reasonable, go for it, if not, say thanks, but not right now, and go get a second opinion.

Testimonial: "Thank you! I feel more prepared going to talk now. thanks and be blessed."

I am having a problem with my 98 mazda protege, 1.8l car. When i put it in drive, it takes about 2 or 3 seconds most times to really accelerate and when i am at a stop, it idles irratically, fluctuating...

Check the wheels and see if the drums are not tight. and also the erratic Idling Could be from your Torque converter Clutch Solenoid that doesn't work properly and if the Solenoid gets totally bad then your car will be stalling.all Well i can say is Check your transmission fluid level and your brakes. Good luck

When brake is pushed engine idles irratic. take out the stop light fuse and its ok. Have you ever ran into this before?

more than likely you have a vacuum leak
get some carb cleaner
start car and let idle
spray carb cleaner around intake gaskets throttle body vacuum lines etc
if you notice a change in idle (revs up or stumbles) repair that part

2002 nissan altima revs up while idle

I had the same problem, you can replace both the acc band and the band tensor, the vibration comes from a loose band.

Why does my car vibrate and noisy at red light and stop sign

My rio kia bought on from uyi technical dealer in benin city, edo state of nigeria only 4 months ago is vibrating with noise while driving. The noise is noticed by other road users even in motion, making a very loud noise or sound that is highly embarrassing. The dealer mechanics have checked more than twice yet no result, instead the hub bearing is observed; tyres are turn over yet the noise persists.

What do think is resolution to the problem? pls help me. Vinson- [email protected]
