Thanks! I was planning on tackling the P1135 first and see if it affected the other codes. I checked the oil last night and it was between the marks so I added just enough to get close to the top mark in order to increase the oil pressure. This oil is only about 2k miles old. There is a slight leak ...

Hello - 2001 3.5L 216k and I have 3 engine codes. Car seems to run fine. I used the website Engine_light_help.com to find these code descriptions. P1135 - Intake Valve Time Control Circuit Bank 2 P0325 - Knock Sensor 1 circuit malfunction Bank 1 or Single Sensor P0140 - Oxygen Sensor Circuit No Acti...

where would that washer go? My diff looks like the below and as a plug it doesn't seem to have a place for a washer.

can you adjust without pulling tire and drum?

Wes

Tried the 1/2 breaker, tapped end with rubber mallet. Started to deform the plug. Stopped. Will try to hunt down and use an impact wrench next.

Wes

The only record i have of replace my rear brake shoes is from 85k miles. I am at 213k and I pulled the drum today and the shoes look fine. Is it normal to have very little wear for over 125k miles? I wouldnt think so.

This is a 2001 LE.

Wes

I went to change my differential because it hasn't been changed since 76k miles and now I am at 213k. Ha! I don't have an impact wrench and between my 18" breaker bar, a pipe, and a floor jack all I was able to do is twist a 3/8" extension off in a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter. How bad do I need to ...

Wes

On a separate note... is it odd that the garage that looked the car over didnt bother to remove the oil cap and notice the collection of sludge? Seems like if I noticed it they should have as well.

Wes

Everything in Atlanta traffic is a long, short trip. 50 miles a day of varying speed stop n go for the past 5 years! I am going to hold off on the additive and watch the oil cap. I pulled it yesterday and there was definitely condensation on the underside. I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the he...

Wes

I was unable to positively identify any oil in the reservoir or the radiator. I will keep looking. I going to check the oil again today possibly add some more if needed. If it is a head gasket failure... I don't really want to pay for (or do myself because it would take me a week and lots of cursing...

Wes

Had to run out to soccer and came back for a more thorough look. Oil was very low. Had to put in 2 quarts to get it to low on the stick. Which is odd. Where did all that oil go? I spent some time watching the radiator for bubbles that might indicate combustion gasses in the system. I didnt see any. ...

Wes

I am pretty sure it was a white smoke. A very, thick smoke that only lasted 10-20 secs. Much more than your standard moisture white smoke. So much so it made me go "What the hell?" Finally got the time to get the car out today to give her a once over. Oil appeared a bit low so I checked th...

Wes

So the mechanic had a couple ideas such as possible cam or crank sensor. But that doesn't explain the white smoke. Now white smoke indicates coolant is being burned. My coolant level seems normal. Is it possible I have a small leak in a gasket that when the car sits for a few days the coolant leaks ...

Wes

2001 3.5L, 212k miles. Got in car this morning, turn key, weird noise and crank crank crank. No turn over. Tried again. Crank crank crank. No luck. Spent about 20 min trying to figure out what was going on, research, kick tire, then try again, crank crank crank, getting close to turning over, crank ...

Wes

Thanks for all the info. I have a few months to decide. I try to remember to post the result.
