March 4, 200818 yr I checked the timing belts on this thing and everything is lined up right and I got it to run...........but now it has a loud knocking noise in the rear part of the motor, like #'s 3 or 4 on the motor or the bell-housing area does anyone know what it could be. Maybe a knock Sensor???? I don't know I just hope it is not a rod or valve. Jeff

March 4, 200818 yr Does it have a automatic transmission?? IF it is VERY loud I doubt it is just sticking lifters. You could try changing the oil and dumping seafoam in the oil and gas tank. Also dump some into the pcv valve. Check the oil though.
March 4, 200818 yr Author Ya it keeps beat with the RPM's. Here is the deal I just went to the Bavarian Autohaus in Burlington witch is just up the road from me, This is the palce where The girl I got the car from last had it worked on. I went there and gave them the name of the girl and plate number and this is what came up: "Work Performed-Completed. Engine dragging badly... pulled trans. away from the engine and hand turned..... engine getting stuck....oil pan has big dent in it oil leaks everywhere.....engine is bad....need to r&r engine. Did compression 1-140 2-180 3-165 4-165 Noise out of #1 cylinder oil..Very low Added units R&R fuel pump timing belt-found timing marks off...R&R timing belt and reset marks." Total price $588.57" The day I bought this car the Girl forgot to say Oh by the way I never checked the oil and I burned the crap out of the bottom end. So needless to say I got F-ed And I'm not to happy about it. She said that it just needed timing belts and now I need a whole motor. The sound it makes is, Loud, and Very shot sounding. anyways I figured it out. And it sucks. I should have known better than to think I was getting a real good deal. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Jeff
March 5, 200818 yr Well, at least the car was only $200. You could get another motor and still come out ahead.
