1992 Eagle Talon Eagle TSi AWD review from North America
"It is not that reliable or fast and gets 14mpg"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My radiator cracked on the way home. I had to get a knew valve cover gasket because it leaked oil. It leaks something, I am not sure what. It has a burnt bitter smell kind of, I don't really now how to describe it. It has died a couple times off an idle.
General comments?
So I started my car tonight and it started fine, not even a full turn over. I put it in reverse. I backed out of my parking spot and put it in neutral and it died. I started it again and it barely stayed running idling at about 200rpms. I gave it a little gas and it went to about 1000rpms and made a horrible screeching sound like a loose belt. I then parked and it was still idling pretty low around 400-500rpms. I started driving home and it went back to normal idle at stops, but did not run amazing. Does anyone know what the problem was? If so or if you think you might, please tell me. My email is baker1479@hotmail.com.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
