What about other chrysler cars for the 5x100 pattern? Like the Cirrus or the Sebring?

about the stalling thing, a possibility is the
throttle position sensor

that happened to my 95 dodge neon at 150,000 miles

is there a check engine light on?

no check engine light at all... im going to pull codes tomorrow and see what i come up with.. i was thinking idle air control valve...


also : has anyone gone with the thrush cherry bomb and straight pipe? im worried about no backpressure...and the o2 sensor on the cat (if there is one , thats where i know them to be) ... that would all get cut.. headers , 1ft pipe , thrush , and straight pipe all the way back...lemme know what ya think...

also : im getting a clunky noise in my door when the windows down , almost like the whole things slamming around inside my door , but as far as i can tell its on track.. i really hate not having a-pillars on my doors... these half - door thingies suck.. i need to get some thicker weatherstripping ... i can hear the air rushing in around my window on the freeway (btw , she did 100mph last night for a good 3 miles with no problems)...

she also wobbles in the range of 50-70 a bit , more the steering wheel than the whole car , so i figure its probably a wheel problem... if it was a tie rod or what have you , the whole car would wobble right?

umm...other than that , she needs a few cosmetics , im going pm das for , and a paint job ...

The neon is very sensitive to wheel balance. They need to be balanced to the nearest 1/8 ouce instead of 1/4 ounce.

yeah , i used to work in a tire and rim shop , so i know about static and dynamix , etc etc... those were the days...

i used to have a simple balancer that would balance to 1/32 oz , all it was , was a spinner plate that you set the wheel on , tighten the big nut to hold it , and spin it... if its perfectly balanced , it would spin with a little bit of off kilter gyro motion (not flat , but at a bit of an angle , in a circle) , and if it wobbles , you just set a magnetic weight and slide it till its perfect...

well this may present a perfect opportunity for a job tomorrow , the guy who did my camshaft seal is giving me an interview tomorrow for general tune-up type shtuff , so ill be like , you got a tire guy? ill whoop him in an all 4 balance , rotate , anything... i always prided myself in changing 4 tires , mounting balancing , and install all by myself in under 5 minutes ( thats including removal) ... i did have one wheel out of 24000 wheels come off tho... and it was a 24" on an old skylark with adapters... that sucked...


so anywho , thanks das... i figured it wasnt a tie rod , or ball joint because i get to slappy sound , and the tie rods usually slap at 30mph or so...

so you dont think a thrush would mess anything up ? i know some cars are very sensitive to backpressure...


thanks
