1992 Dodge Dynasty Problems
Engine Knock After Cold Start May Not Be a Concern
Some engines may experience a cold engine knock that lasts for three to five minutes after start-up, which is often misdiagnosed as a valve lifter noise. This noise is commonly not an indication of a failure and should not be a reliability or durability concern.
HVAC Air Flow Switching to Defrost When Accelerating
The AC/heater (HVAC) system may unexpectedly switch to the defrost mode when accelerating. This system is operated by engine vacuum and should be inspected for any vacuum leaks if this problem develops. There is also a revised vacuum check valve available to address this concern.
Replace timing belt at 60,000 miles in hot climates
Timing belt replacement should be done at 60K intervals or sooner in very hot climates. The timing belt tensioner pulley should be replaced any time the timing belt is replaced.
Corrections for excessive fuel pump noise
Abnormal fuel pump noise may be noted.There is a revised fuel pump, wiring harness, fuel tank insulators, fuel tank straps, and fuel tank available depending on the vehicle.
Low fuel pressure due to fuel pump check valve
Low fuel pressure may be caused by a faulty fuel pump check valve.
Engine oil leaks from cam plug and seal, valve cover, head gasket, and distributor
Oil leaks may develop from the camshaft plug, camshaft seal, valve cover, cylinder head gasket, and distributor.
Hard starting or rough idle due to leaking fuel injectors
Hard starting or rough idle after the vehicle is parked for a period of time may be caused by leaking fuel injectors.
HVAC Odors Due to Microbial Growth Issues
Odors from the AC (HVAC) system may be caused by microbial growth on the AC evaporator. Our technicians recommend to keep the AC inlet free of leaves and debris and treating the evaporator and housing using a disinfectant spray.
Replace fuel filter if fuel pump is replaced
Fuel pump failures are not uncommon on higher mileage cars. Our technicians recommend to replace the fuel filter if the fuel pump is being replaced.
Exhaust leak from manifold to converter seal
A hissing noise from the exhaust may be caused by a poor seal between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter.
Stalling or Low Engine Idle Speed Due to Dirty Throttle Body
A dirty throttle body can cause a low idle condition resulting in a stalling condition.
Driveability concerns due to intake valve deposits
Various driveability concerns can be caused by deposits on the back of the intake valves. Fuel injector cleaner has shown reasonable results cleaning light deposits.
Excess oil comsumption due to valve guide issues
Excessive oil consumption—defined as more than one quart per 1,000 miles (on vehicles with less than 50,000 miles) or more than one quart per 750 miles (on vehicles with more than 50,000 miles)—is common. Replacing the valve guides with an updated version should fix the problem.
Noise over bumps due to broken rear torsion bar
A broken rear torsion bar can cause an abnormal noise over bumps. The torsion bar is part of the rear trailing arm, which must be replaced to correct this issue.
Fuel leak from injectors or their O-rings
Fuel injectors or their o-rings may leak fuel causing the engine to burn too much fuel.
