I just got my 93 SSEi Bonne out of the shop today for the 2nd time. Now, i was cruising with another Bonne, i believe it was a 2002 se and i heard a clattering starting to build up. Not only that, the car randomly shuts off on straight aways and WILL shut off if i turn the wheel all the way tot he right or left if i dont gas it .

This car has potential, I live in Jersey, so there'* lots of rice burners and little german cars(GTI'*) around. I wanna ge the Bonne roaring down the street dropping mouths but this car just has one problem after another

Can we get some more details on the clattering? What was it in the shop for?

It was in the shop for the timing belt, the clattering kicks in when i accelerate and i feel a loss of power.

i actaully start hearing the clattering when i hit past 3000 rpms

Did it do this before you took it to the shop for the timing belt?

since when did a L67 or ANY 3800 have a timing belt?

LOL good point...

but to me it sounds like you were driving a 00SE that you were having a problem with... but your real car is a 1993 ssei.. if its the shops loner car that had the problem, i dont see why you care?

Maybe he meant the timing chain?

LOL sry i meant chain, and the clattering started the night after i got it from the shop

im betting your harmonic balancer has cracks in it....and that is the sound you are hearing
