Hi I just wanted to know if you could help me on figuring out the problem to my car, it kinda bogs when you put it in drive and when in park makes a weird vibrating sound and the air that comes out of the muffler doesnt sound good it's like there's a plugged hose or something or maybe the sensor is not good. Help please. We tried the callic converter and the thermostat and apparently that wasnt the problem and then now the fan doesnt come on. Please help in need of it.
thanks.

No the check engine light isnt on so I cant do any diagnostic or get any codes. It just feels like when we drive the car it really doesnt give gas as much. Sorry I really dont know how to explan it that good.
Then my fan doesnt come on so yeah I dont know what to do.

We have a problem here.

Without understanding what is happening, we are not able to provide any suggestions.

1. Is the engine revving up and vehicle not moving fast?
2. During acceleration, performance is very poor and you cannot get up to speed fast enough?
3. When did this start occuring:
4. Have you had a tune-up done?

Just curious, but who diagnosed a burnt valve?

The head would have to be removed and the valves (two intake valves and two exhaust on each cylinder)
would have to be removed.

It would cost around $1500 depending on who does it.

You can buy remanufactured head for $300-600 and replace entire head.
