    upper engine rattle along with P0022, P0341, and P0346

    My 2010 Navigator has 210,000 miles on it. For the past 2k miles, it has developed a rattle after the engine has been warmed up for some time and I am strolling around at slow speed, or around idle operation. I suspected it to be the cam phasers. It sounds like a diesel and shakes the car...

    I smell fumes when A/C or Auto temp is set

    I noticed back in the summer that if I was running my A/C that I would get this strange smell. It wasn't a mold or milder smell. It smelled like a band aid. But it wasn't a subtle smell either. It is bad enough to almost give you a headache. I live in Michigan and the outside temp has gone...
