Don't think there's anything upnormal is going on with the engine

What's that torn boot ?..it's not the axle ..it's something going up inside the car towards the steering wheel?

Originally Posted By: Superflan I had this happen on 3 different FWD cars. Each time, this wobbled appeared on acceleration, I mean when there was torque applied (heavy accel, hill, or engine breaking). Barely noticeable at steady speed on flat roads. Each time it was the longer cv-joint axle...

Originally Posted By: Merkava_4 Something fell off causing something to be out of balance is what I'm thinking. Tire shop balanced tires and said they were not bad at all to begin with. doesn't sound like just out-of-balance wheel to me but can't figure it out..I like the car and it drives...

My 06 sonata with v6 3.3 L and 5 speed automatic transmission has developed a bade shake on acceleration after 5 minutes of driving-the whole car shakes bad enough that I can see the passenger seat rocking and steering wheel is too. then it stays on for a few minutes then disappears but noticed...

Well, I replaced the oil pressure sensor and I had to get to it from up top where I took the intake housing and throttle body off..till now it went ok but I put everything back together only to find out my GAS PEDAL IS LOOSE and just hanging there..Is it something to do with the throttle cable...

Appreciate it

Originally Posted By: mk378 The switch activates the oil light on the dash-- that is usually the only thing that it does-- so a new one is likely to resolve that problem too. Hope that fixes it too. I wasn't sure if there's any precaution replacing this sensor?.From what I read it need 1 1/16"...

It's actually the oil pressure sensor, took the throttle body out and had closer look and by the shape of the new ones on auto parts store website-it's that bugger, don't know why in the diagram I quoted they had them the other way around ..Will go buy one and try to replace it tomorrow-hope...

Originally Posted By: BigD1 Oil pressure switches will pour oil when they go bad. All it takes is a little light bump on an old switch, and it's a goner. So crank position sensor on this car can't leak oil?..another note is the car has been throwing oil light after 20-25 minutes of driving for...

Sorry for the bad quality of the pic but I cleaned it a good bit-it looked so messy there, oil was everywhere on the oil pan, transmission pan and exhaust pipe ..I even put a rag underneath this sensor after I wiped everything and put the car on ramps and let it run for 10 minutes-the rag was...

I have a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire(2.2 OHV) which has been using oil like crazy lately, Turns out it's leaking and the leak is coming from the back of the block at what looks like sensors. Looked up that sensor and all I see the leak is coming from that upper passenger side sensor and from the online...

Originally Posted By: spasm3 That makes me wonder if the hub had previously been replaced with a cheapo hub bearing. I can't imagine having two different size hub nuts on the assembly line. Might have been, now time to figure out where all the antifreeze is going, what's the best way to...

Thanks a lot everybody!:) installed both sides wheel hub assemblies..anyone who thinks about doing this job has to have FWD hub puller, axle nut sockets set-my car had one side 35mm and the other 36mm"don't know why ",c-clamp and a lot of patience"if the car was previously up north" and elbow...
