So I recently had a major service done on my 07 RTL (timing belt, serpentine belt, tensioner, water pump, plugs), and I can't tell if it's actually running funny, or just in my head.
Here are the only absolutely real things that have happened:
One time everything seemed to bog down and all my lights on the dash lit up. My mechanic said it was showing a crank position sensor error, which he said could happen since some of the coolant from the pump spilled on the sensor. If it happens again, he'll replace it for me.
Coolant reservoir is very low - mechanic added water and said to watch it, but most likely it was just air leaving the system and needed to be topped off. Again, he will help if needed.
Aside from that, it just seems like maybe it's running a little less smooth? I've noticed at top gear going about 40 mph it is at 1200 RPMs and seems to droan a bit. It also seems like MAYBE it's idling a little rougher? There is no severe shaking or anything. No apparent loss of power, either. I can't tell if I'm just looking for something wrong since it was such a large sum of money ($900), or if something is actually different about how it drives.
