hope this helps
The constant clicking noise at start up seems to becoming from the top of the engine either around the thermostat housing or the fuel rail/intake manifold. And the noise stops or at least really quiets down after the car has warmed up fully. Has anyone else experienced this and what did it turn out to be? I have tired a high quality injector cleaner in case the rails or injectors are dirty and caused the clicking noise.
BTW I haven't had dexicool in the car since about 45k miles after learning about the problems and the car now has 103k so i don't think it is a result of bad seals or gunk from dexicool.
Thanks so much!!!
thanks in advance.
:sick:
Thanks
Symptoms:
Not Working: Turn Signals, High Beams, Emergency Lights, Left & Right Brake Lights.
Working: Center Brake light, Low Beams, High Beams (momentary), Running Lights.
My solution: Remove Turn Signal Switch Assembly and stest to see if switch positions correlate to new circuit patterns with Digital multimeter, continuity tester.
If good, then clean contacts and put old switch back in.
If bad, then replace switch.
Note: simply unplugging and plugging switch assembly back in may solve all or part of the problem. It worked for me. All but the emergency flashers work for me now.
There are 10 types of people in the world; those that understand binary and those that don't.
If any one knows a way I am open to any idea.

Leaking a red/pink watery fluid after a good drive. It leaked for 5 mins, badly. I put cardboard under it at 3pm. At 11pm there was no leak or substance on the cardboard. What could it be.

At first by looking at your pictures I thought it was coolant (old Dexcool that should have been changed) but on second thought it could be warmed up trans fluid also. Checking the fluid levels will tell the story for sure though with that big of a leak.
As a general warning, quad 4 engines were notorious for having water pump leaks around that mileage, and your pictures are showing a drain off exactly where it would be for that. If that's the case, get ready for a big repair bill, quad 4 water pumps are a big job.
