mine too ....lol .

my newest one , just had to treat myself went in to buy the better half a new Chevy Equinox and ended up driving this one out for my self

are you sure there are no water leaks , the area where that pad sits (slightly ) above and to left is a good source to leak . also the ac drain tube can plug . I assume you are trying to describe a musty smell which is from water getting in some where.
also cabin air filter

my only concern is the springs they use because I know the struts are the same but wonder about the the springs and spring rate etc and will make my journey sit higher in the front . I like the way it has some front rake to to and going to replace the rears too.

I like the idea of the quick struts as I do not have a way to compress the struts and the nearest place that can is 25 miles away

looking up springs I noticed different part numbers so that must be the only difference . wonder why they don't offer quick struts for the 2.4 .
wonder how much higher the front would be or if it would be a stiffer ride .

getting them on line about 107 to 119 each . from what I can tell they are the same.
I ran in to this with my 1996 deville , not a lot of parts listed but if you searched un Seville for the same year there where parts.
I just like the idea of replacing everything at once . I plan on changing most if not all the bushings also ,mthey are cheap and will everything apart anyway.
love the SUV , funny but it reminds so much of a 1984 tourismo I had ..

hey guys my 2009 journey just hit 140,000 miles and although it still rides smooth I want to replace the struts and shocks
.
maybe it's just how things are listed but I was looking at quick struts by Monroe , for the 2.4 se they do not list quick struts .mthey do for the 3.5 however.
when I look up just the struts themselves they seem to be the same part number on both engine model's .
the quick struts are the same part numbers preceded by a 1.
think they will fit

man this is a strange problem , kind of exhausted any ideas I have ...

that's strange .. seems like it would move with the coils . I would take the sensor back and try a new one.

coil packs could be breaking down under heat or under load.

wiring to either the coil pack for number one or the injector for number one would be my next choice to check..
cleaned the connectors and check to see if you are indeed getting a proper signal to both the coil pack and injector,
follow it back you might have had a critter chewing on wires or maybe a wire from the injector or coil pack is frayed and grounding out or losing connection.
also wires and connectors to the crank sensor or the new crank sensor is not good .
no timing belt on this little motor just a timing chain ..

spark plugs are such a easy swap you might as well go ahead and replace them ... be sure to get recommend NGk plugs the motor is happier with them in there

codes will tell all. could be anything , if the check engine light is flashing then you have a miss fire . plugs and coils first come to mind.. when was the plugs changed last ...would change them as the 2.4 plugs need to be changed every 30,000 miles . a scanner will tell you which clyd is missing ..
also a bottle of chevron fuel system cleaner can't hurt .. just dump it in a near empty tank and fill up .
that little 2.4 is a great engine , lacks a little on the horsepower end but loves to be run ...

I know this is a old post but maybe some of you are still having this problem like I did. I cleaned all the sill and door holes holes on the cowling and even ran a air nozzle up the ac drain in hopes it was that . same problem this morning over night rain and drivers floor had water in it ..
I noticed while removing the carpet that the previous owner had done the same .
what I found surprised me . to the left of the brake pedal there are two lines cominging through the fire wall. the rear windshield washer hose and a main power cable. the leak was where the main power cable came through the firewall .mnot a very good bushing and had a foam square behind it I guess to help seal...
when I ran a water hose over the windshield a lot of water came from the cowling and ran down the power cable and through the bushing and on to the floor of the car. the cowling really does not keep water out of the engine compartment at all .
I was surprise there was not a drip loop or something to keep the water away ...
poor design for sure . a bit of tuff stuff spray foam in the hole and filled up the foam cover stopped the leak...
ran the water hose over the same spot in the windshield and all seems good to go.

no problem with back doors , I checked everything and all the tape was off or had slits cut in them ...my cowling collects leaves too. and dirt .
