How to change belt tensionerrita - 1992 Chrysler New Yorker - Preventive Maintenance - 4/26/2012Show diagram-
4/26/2012 jdlYou don't have a belt tensioner. What chrysler calls A and B models, there is an adjustment nut for the alternator. You loosen that nut, pull more tension on the alternator, tighten the nut. That is a serpentine belt, correct? I'll check a different database see if it says the same thing.
4/26/2012 jdlMy bad, I did look at another database, it did show a tensioner.

4/22/2012 CVOObtain a free loan radiator pressure tester from the local auto parts stores such as Autozone, O'Reilly or PepBoys. Follow their instructions and pump it an adequate air pressure in lbs allowances on the radiator cap. Observe the leaks and perform the repair.
Note: do not over-pressure than the pressure allowed in the radiator cap.

The car will start just fine but upon acceleration it appears to not want to drive. Where should I start?matt - 1997 Chrysler Cirrus - Preventive Maintenance - 4/21/2012Fluid levels are low ( oil and transmission ) the power steering fluid appears to be ok. When I try to accelerate the car will move but makes a whirring noise and there is a lot of drag.-
4/21/2012 jdlAre you saying the engine races but the vehicle doesn't go anywhere? If so, sounds like a tranny issue. If your saying the engine bogs down, how long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?

Where do I put in 134a refrigant and what tools are needed?cadilacman38 - 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser - Preventive Maintenance - 4/20/2012-
4/20/2012 JimmAdd the new refrigerant in the suction (low pressure) port on the ac suction line from the evaporator to the compressor. No tools are needed - per se - just use the ac charge kit that comes with the can of r134a refrigerant. Most of the time, the can comes with the small length of hose and the fitting required.
4/20/2012 cadilacman38Thank you Jimm!

Are there drain holes in the bottom of the muffler of the 3.5 liter engine exhaust system?Keith - 1996 Chrysler LHS - Preventive Maintenance - 4/18/2012I have observed condensate dripping from two places under the muffler of my LHS, one place at each end of the muffler just after engine start. Is this normal, or do I have a rusted through muffler? I don't have a hoist so that I can check this for myself and I'm ...-
4/9/2012 EG9 K20A3Its normal, It just condensation. Same thing happens to me. Usually, if your muffler has a hole, it will become noisy or will have this whistling sound.
4/10/2012 KeithThank you for responding promptly, I guess from your reply that there are drain holes in the bottom of the muffler, just as there are in the resonator. -
4/12/2012 EG9 K20A3As long as you are not noticing any driveability problems, you have nothing to worry about.
4/12/2012 KeithMy question is part of an investigation into unusual engine noise since my Chrysler dealer fitted a factory replacement engine. I am unable to decide if I hear induction noise, exhaust noise or mechanical noise. My dealer has checked the car and reports no fault found. The noise occurs even at small throttle openings and gentle acceleration. I am accustomed to a very similar but much louder induction noise under hard acceleration. -
4/14/2012 EG9 K20A3Chrysler dealer fitted a factory replacement engine. - I can just imagine how much you spent
Im sorry chief but me being online wont be able to hear it, how long is the warranty though?
4/15/2012 KeithWarranty same as new car warranty, 3 years or 100,000 miles. Cost for job just under $7500, (around $$5000 for the new engine.). This is the nicest US built car I have owned, the ergonomics are excellent and the car fits my needs very well. If I could go out and buy a new one, I would do it. -
