This is my first car so I don’t know too much about really anything car wise. I was cleaning my throttle body and as I was finishing up I think I accidentally pulled this hose off of the connector end it was on? Upon further inspection I saw that the end was really short and it seemed like maybe it was once longer but it I guess rotted away? Is this a correct assumption or should I get this checked out further.

Also there was a lot more brown gunk in the hose earlier but I was picking some of it away with a pair of pliers

Hey everyone, a few months ago I asked for help on getting a radiator hose replaced. You guys were super helpful and I got fixed! However... went to start it and... nothing lol. The battery seems to be completely dead. I drip charged it and everything but it seems toast.

Since then, I've gotten a new car, and with the Sonic being so far back in my backyard and out of view its been somewhat out of mind. However, with fall/winter coming, I want to figure something out here soon.

This was my daily driver before the radiator hose went out. It was good to me. I did regular maintenence on it, fixed a bunch of engine lights (iykyk) some of which I did myself. It has around 134k miles on it. The tires are newer. Probably only 3-4k miles on them. It was running fine when it was last started, but ive noticed oil in the coolant reservoir.. so possibly sign of a head gasket going out. Sorry this has been long, but thought I'd ask you guys for your thoughts. I could scrap it but who knows if someone here wants to part it out or even fix it up. Open to suggestions!

It’s dragging, I noticed after getting home shortly after my overheating sensor was digging at me (I wouldn’t have driven at home like that if I wouldn’t have been super nearby my house). I had to stop driving. I will be taking it to the shop tomorrow. Just curious what this is?

So my ac compressor went bad and I had recently replaced it. Usually I get some knock but it has never sounded like this. Anyone got any ideas? I’ve also had an issue with stalling recently. Sometimes the car will drop rpm and Almost bottom out. Most recently it has shut the car off. No cel/codes.

Hope I didnt make a mistake purchasing a 2017 hatchback. I got it for about 10K with 44 thousand miles on it. It was well taken care of and has 0 rust. I hope it lasts me years to come. I really love the look of this car!

Started it this morning and now has a knocking noise, pulled valve cover off and inspected everything and nothing appeared to be loose. Did find one coil pack broken. What else could cause this noise? 1.8 158k miles

Just installed new Monroe struts in the video you can see there are like a popping noise I'm not sure what I did wrong any ideas anybody.

Saw this on marketplace.

i have been trying to diagnose for 2 days now

for starters just got the vehicle inherited a week or two ago, ran fine for a few days then shut off in traffic and was stuttering out a bit when at stop lights, changed the oil and it seemed to run a bit better
fast foward a day later and now once the engine gets up to temp it begins to throw codes and stutter and perform poorly, yesterday i kept having the same issue of voltage drop from 14.5 to 13.5 and the engine started performing poorly, the tachometer also would go to 0 when that happened. the cel , power steering lights went on aswell.

codes were for bad communication between modules and once i let the car rest and cool off it would run normal again until warm

i did voltage tests on grounds and cleaned all them up, repaired some wires on the harness but to no avail

anybody see this happen??

surprisingly i dont think theres an issue with the valve cover. the only thing i can think is maybe electrical?? or oil issue?

codes i pulled today after warm up are included

thank you

the grind of chonda maxxing will not be stopped

Removing the front badge next i will keep my sonic homies updates
