WOW, I saw your reflection, was I ever that young????

Never mind that

You mentioned your father, obviously he is not mechanically inclined or else you would not be trying to get answers via Youtube. But, your dad does have a very valuable resource and that is friends and family. Are any of them mechanically inclined?

The noise you mention yes could be coming from a pulley but it could also be a bearing on one iof the accessories. What happens if it's the p/s pump and a new pump doesn't come with a pulley and you must remove the old and put onto the new? Do you have the tools, probably not?

the best advice that I can give you is to ask Dad to find a friend or family member who has tools and can work on cars (not just oil changes either) and bring the car there along with an 18 inch to 2 foot section of old garden hose or rubber tube. They will know what to do with the hose. if they don't, then they can't help you

 

Lol I know what to do with the hose

 

Actually my dad Isnt mechanically Inclined he works long days so when he comes home he wants to relax not work more then.

 

I know that based upon your comment about the clamp. That's OK because I can't set a broken bone either. We all have our own talent. I'm a sicko who also works long days and travels away from home extensively and I work on cars for fun...........yup, I'm sick

Seriously, dad must have a buddy who has gotten under a car, replaced their own brakes, maybe an accessory or 2

otherwise, invest in an hour of a shop's time to find out what is wrong. My buddy at his shop will take in people's cars and go over them and give them a list of items that they find. It goes up on the lift, they check for leaks, condition of fluids, suspension, pull a front and rear tire and inspect brakes, listen for noises, pull a couple plugs to check their health and scope it for a 1 hour fee

for a whopping total of $98 taxes included you have a good idea of the condition of the vehicle and needed repairs

 

Probably the best way to go for him at this point.

 

What are ya talking about ya work long hours then work on cars for fun was that sarcastic or making fun of my dad because thats how It came off then.

 

Simply put, if you're not going to take the advice people here are giving you then it will be no help. Many people have chimed in with what you would need to do and not once have we got a response back where you have checked what we have told you. The most you have said is you charged the battery. Not being mean, but putting things bluntly. Either purchase a manual such as Haynes or Chilton which you mentioned in another thread and read up on some of the basic maintenance and repairs. If that isn't possible, try finding someone such as a grandparent, uncle, cousin etc. that is capable of helping you on the vehicle. If you can't do that either, then find a shop to take it into and get it checked out such as what Torque mentioned.

I didn't have much help on my vehicle either and I was away at school with lots of work and a job. I had to rely on myself to learn about my car and engine for repairs and maintenance. I used the forums I have found with advice given by those who have experience and also a Haynes manual and I read through it quite often. You have to just dig in and start somewhere or you're never going to learn.

 

I know but when I question what Is what Its because I want to know what It Is then people will say If ya dont know this bring It In etc but I am trying to figure out what It Is yes I know I should buy a haynes manual but they are pretty limited and crap on Information then.

 

No they are not, you would gain tremendously using the manual. Have you even picked one up and skimmed through it at the parts store? For high detailed work or internals yea it may not be much help, but you're not going to be doing any of that and the manual will help you with all that you will be doing or want to do repair or maintenance wise with your car. Go get one, and start reading through it.

 

Yes I have saw one before because we have one for our truck but I will pick one up once I order a part offline either a transmission mount or a u Joint my car needs because there Is a thump sound when I am stopped then give the car a decent amount of gas and the car vibrates a little when In drive but not In park so Im guessing Its a transmission mount but I need to get the car on ramps to check It before I order any parts then.
