    I'm hoping someone can help me with this, my 95 talon broke down the
    other day, engine stopped but was able to pop start it right away and
    get to side of road. It sounded like I was driving on a flat tire and
    there are burn holes in the fireproof covering on the inside of the
    hood near the pcv valve. Any suggestions as to what the problem could
    be?

    Thanks in advance

  2. Wow, that is a strange one. I have a 95 Eagle Talon also. Is yours
    TURBO?
    You said you had to POP START IT? Wouldn't the starter work? Did you
    battery short out to the hood? Check your battery connections. Other
    wise the only other things I can think of is that you blew a spark
    plug/plugs out of the hole and they hit the hood or you have not
    changed your pcv regularly and you had a bad build up of vapors in
    your oil pan and you had a minor explosion and it blew out the pcv and
    burnt the pad. Hard to tell without seeing it.

    GOOD LUCK

    As far as pop starting it, I was on the highway and was just natural
    thing to do, I haven't tried starting it yet as the battery is now
    dead. It's a non turbo, and the pvc I'm thinking is the more likely
    suspect. Burns aren't by the battery and it's more toward the
    winshield then the plugs. I'll check it out though, thx.
