So i took my charger for a spin today...and wow burnouts are fun haha...it runs great..but when we was driving it down the street we hear some clanking under the car and i have yet to find out what it was..people behind us followed us until we stoped and said that there was "sparks"  :shruggy:

First, find the spell checker ;-) It's one thing to have a few typos in the post, we all do it. It's another to have the title wrong ;-)

Second, find out what you lost. I wouldn't drive it again till I know it wasn't someting important.

Third, Enjoy the car  :2thumbs:

You have a saddle for that thing?

Definitely follow others suggestions of fully inspecting the car again before taking her out....

Is it a manual? Just before the clutch went on my old Charger I was told there were sparks underneath, still we fixed it ok

Yes, I would certainly check it out.  And once you have corrected the sparking problem, you can finally - ahem...go for a drive. It's way better to be on the safe side. Good luck.

If you had sparks flying... that means that you have a nice shiny spot somwhere where it was metal to metal... Find It.

Could it be sparks from a live wire grounding out? Do you run an electric fuel pump?

well it couldn't be a wire because we heard it and everytime we heard the clank it sparked i was thinking it was the exist hitting the drive shaft but I'm not to sure.

How about your fan?  If you had a busted motor mount your fan could be doing all kinds of damage.  To me, "clanking" sounds usually come from the fan.

Quoteclanking" sounds usually come from the fan. 

he said the sounds were coming from under the car. isn't the fan up front .
