Can anyone help me? I just bought a battery and a alternator for our 2001 Pt Cursior. After we put the alternator on and started the car it stays in high idol and the engine mkes a weird noise like voorum voorum. It hard to put it in words. Please can anyone help?

First make sure you re-connected all of your wire harnesses that were unplugged (it's easy to miss one) after that I would say re-set the computer by dis-connecting the battery for a few minutes. I assume you already did that since you bought a new one, but I would try it anyway.

Beyond that I would not be able to help you on this matter. Hopefully someone else will chime in with more info.

Posting up in general discussions may help. A lot of people don't check this section very often.

Welcome.
Agree w/Bamalam. Suspect you disconnected either a vacuum line or an electrical connection...

She sent me a PM letting me know it was a vacuum line. Not sure why she didn't just post it here. So anyway, it's fixed.

That is good news

Getting scary when we guess right, huh?

Who needs to go to the dealer to fix a problem when we've got plenty of owners here that may have experienced the same problem. It's great that some of us can share our experiences so maybe we can fix the problem ourselves if it happens to us.
