This morning I started my car to go to Wal-Mart and I noticed that the engine was knocking quite a bit. Ive never noticed any sort of knocking previous to today. Im not sure if what is happening directly correlated to the engine but Im assuming it is. What exactly does this mean? Also it isnt directly related with engine speed. It will knock at the same rate as the engine speed but it isnt consistant. Like if I rev it to 3,000RPM like 3 times the knocking pattern is diffrent every time. My car likes to eat oil, I dont know where it goes as it doesnt smoke or leak. But regardless I have to fill up my oil resivoir like every 3 weeks. It was low on oil this morning. I now have the oil back to a normal level but it still knocks.
Does anyone know what this means and what i have to do to fix it? This post has been edited by MK153: Sep 5, 2004 - 12:35 PM -------------------- |

1. It sounds like its behind the spark plugs but its kinda hard to tell. 2. Do you mean the pulleys on the left side of the engine? The belts seem very firm and everything. BTW a few weeks ago my belt were squealing, I dont know why as they were tight enough. 3. Every once and a while when I start my car it shoots a plumbe of blue smoke out the tailpipe, I was told that this was valve related - could that be related to this? Could getting the oil changed help? 4. I really dont know... ive had the car since I gave up my SVX last winter and I havent done it. I could call the old owner because he was a friend of mine, but Im doubting that he had it replaced unless it broke. 5. This I kinda doubt, because the noise is very metalic sounding. Thank you soo much for your help, please keep it coming. -------------------- |
