Hello everyone,

I inherited this car about two months ago from an uncle and I’ve been having some issues with it since.

it has been making a loud clicking noise(kind of like a marble in a laundry dryer) for a while now. See the video that follows for detailed audio.

just now the engine light started blinking and flashing with a warning beep about every 30 seconds as I was driving it. It would also fail to accelerate fast and seemed it was locked below 40-50 mph.

the last engine code I ran off of an OBF sensor (about 2 weeks ago) was about three errors related to the camshaft position sensor (p0366...) sensor bank 2 position 1.

ive had a couple of mechanics look at the machine and they seem to think the noise is coming from somewhere in the sepentine drive system.

Im wondering if all of these things could be linked to a single fix? (Probably a fools hope) but the next thing I’m planning on fixing is the serpentine pulleys as it last time we took the drive belt of and tested the strength of the pulleys it seemed maybe the tensioner had a little bit of a wobble to it.

is this enough info for anybody to give me some help? What do you think? What else do you need?

its a 2009 Chrysler Sebring 2.4L convertible top coupe.

thank you all.

 

The smart thing would be to find out what is causing the check engine light to come on. If it's flashing, it's probably something serious. Get a code reader (a good one) hooked up, pull the error codes and then decide on what needs to be fixed first. If blood is pouring out your leg, it's not smart to be worried about an old toothache.

 

Thanks! Will do that as soon as I can.
