I know where that is at. I am from the South Bend area but my parents have a lake place in Leesburg.

I remember that car from eBay a few weeks ago. Nice save and props on giving that goat a good home.

**Outlaw525** · 11-02-2011, 05:57 PM

I still work where I did before the company just moved it's just a small company not huge like biomet or depuy.... Crazy it's a small world I guess that people can be that close

**Outlaw525** · 11-02-2011, 06:00 PM

Well this may not turn out to be a fairy tail.... My check engine light just came on and I can smell a hot/ burning smell but see nothing leaking or smoke anywhere also there is a knock now that sounds to be coming from the rack or something in the steering

**cammed goat** · 11-02-2011, 06:35 PM

Check your power steering line behind the reservoir. It could be leaking fluid onto the alternator. Also check the rack underneath to see if the lines are loose.

**cammed goat** · 11-02-2011, 08:33 PM

Also, check the spark plug wires as you have headers and a wire could be arcing off a tube. Check where the rack bolts to the undercarriage as the rack needs to be un-bolted to allow the driver side header to slide in from underneath.

I will check it out tonight after work thanks for the starting point! On a side note it didn't pop or make any noise this morning on the way to work that's a 8 to 10 mile drive so it had time to warm up don't know why it acted fine this morning. I think I am going to take it to one of the dealers I trust back home and have them scan it and give it a once over cuz I don't trust the dealer that sold it they just wanted there money any nothing else

**35th-ANV-SS** · 11-03-2011, 03:30 AM

If you take it to Pepboys or Autozone they will scan it for free. Get the code and report back here with it and we'll point you in the right direction

**Outlaw525** · 11-03-2011, 04:01 AM

I have been to autozone once on Monday when I had a code and it was an o2 sensor error he didn't tell me the code just said that's what it was I had the cutouts open and the time and closed them and the light has been off until last night it came back on I would think its something different this time because there was no sound or pop with the first light I will take it back after work and post my findings. Thanks again!
