...that's a common failure when a car is pushed too hard when it wasn't in "tip-top" shape!! Usually exhaust problems cause it! I hope you didn't ruin your car man!!!

Usually what happens is that a "blocked" cat won't let enough air through the exhaust. Eventually too much pressure builds up and it will break the hydrosilator loose (mounted on the left side of the engine). (Very $pendy part I might add..$$$$)

After a while it will shear the bolts off and rip the harness free....the trouble with this is it breaks the tube to your turn signals off. That causes all you turn signal fluid to leak out....Do your turn signals still work?? Or they slowing down perhaps?? Any puddles up front near the drivers side turn signal??

Let us know!!!!

Seriously, my brother had this same problem with his '93 90cs. Almost the exact same symptoms. Eventually the turn signals stopped flashing and just stayed on all the time. When you turned the hazard lights on, they'd flash about 2 times slowly and then stop. His mechanic checked this tube, and it was broken. There was always a small puddle when he parked his car, but it leaked many fluids. He didn't take very good care of it, so he didn't notice until it was too late.

Sad thing is, that kid probably does'nt know you're kidding!

Hey 92 100CS, I think you probably have a noisey lifter or two. Whens the last time you changed your oil or checked it's level? Change the oil if it's dirty/old or top it off if it's low...that might take care of the noise. If not, you'll need to replace the bad lifters. Which you cannot afford to do. Dont worry though, it will not hurt anything if you dont...

I have signal fluid in my coolant, and I am worried my blinker gasket is shot. I understand this is a common problem with the 12v V6, should I take it to a Jiffy Lube, or should I ignore it and hope it goes away?
