Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I"M SO CONFUSED!!
After letting the battery charge last night I climbed all over the top & bottom of the Sebring's engine compartment. Visually I didn't see any sign of anything burnt. It was oily next to the valve cover around the spark plug area on this OHV 4 cyl, but not necessarily more than what might have been present if someone had spilled a bit when adding some. All of the wiring looked OK. Coolant level was where it was supposed to be. It was down 1 quart of oil.
I went ahead and hit the ignition. The car started right up, ran smoothly, and there weren't any indicators lit on the dash. I took the car out for a short test drive and it seems to run perfectly. - No shakes, rattles, smoke, etc...
Teresa had claimed that the car started bucking, - didn't want to stay running, and she pulled over to the side of the road when she saw smoke rolling out from beneath the hood.
I'm not sure what's going on. Whenever her low life son-in-law drives the car it comes back looking like he's been going off-roading in it. This is part of the new abuse that was evident when I saw the car yesterday.
It may not be major damage but I sure take it as a sign they're not babying the Sebring when they borrow it. As far as the vehicle's running problem, - I'm inclined to suspect gremlins or that Teresa just wants a newer car.
