My used Saturn ion 2003 making loud clicking noise when idling and not accelerating
You buy a 10 year old car that isn't even made anymore
and know it has issues
Do you not have a repair shop you use for many years that has
been around for decades
You need a shop to go thru the entire car & fix ALL problems
regardless of cost,not us guessing at things
Not to get up to speed could be a gas filter ,most likely worn
out & blocked exhaust converter & I could write a book
All it's issues can be diagnosed & you should spend about $1500
if ALL problems are properly tested & resolved
Now you got the entire suspension,all fluids,brakes,tires & on & on
When I buy any vehicle I put it on stands for 3 weeks min & go thru it
On a new car i spend a week a year going thru the entire car
I take brakes apart every year
I check all data every 4 months with professional scan tool software
Did you have these problems with your car before you had the work done or did it start afterwords?
FYI, the most common problem that causes high idle is an air leak somewhere in the engine, but it could be a number of other things.
Do you know if anything was done to the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) ? This would cause a similar problem.
Let me know. Thanks
