If I had enough knowledge to know what all the problems were and what I need to have done to the car most likely I'll know how what to do to fix them.
I live in Middletown Delaware, this is my first turbo charged vehicle I don't know anything and just started learning and reading from manuals and from this forum.
First the enging was starting, idled very rough and even shut down at times. We purchased and installed a new TPS which didn't help much. After some tinkering we determined that the timing was way off and the mechanic is working on that now. Besides those things there is a tapping sound coming from the engine I personally don't know what it is but the mechanic sais that the rode/valves are off I guess what you guys call rod knock.
He's redoing the timing which should be completed tomorrow and we'll see what happens after that.
I have a VPC installed and have to get that professionally adjusted for hte best performance but that will happen after the little items are fixed.
Is there anything else you'll like to know?
Well I live in NY (one of the states that you listed), and I asked what your problems are.MERCiLESS said:Tony, if someone lives in the area and is the least bit interested in lending a hand I'm sure it won't take too much from them to ask…
Now I know you are too far from me.MERCiLESS said:I live in Middletown Delaware
Rods and valves are not near each other in the sense that the sound is coming from the same place. If it is a spun bearing (rod knock) and not the valves, here is some info on that and how it sounds like. (Keep in mind that the sound can vary from case to case.)MERCiLESS said:…Besides those things there is a tapping sound coming from the engine I personally don't know what it is but the mechanic sais that the rode/valves are off I guess what you guys call rod knock…
If it is rod knock as you mentioned, it would be a complete waste of your money to mess with the timing at all right now, since the motor would need to be disassembled anyways, and you will need to have the crank mic’d up also.MERCiLESS said:…He's redoing the timing which should be completed tomorrow and we'll see what happens after that…
Nope, on my way.MERCiLESS said:Is there anything else you'll like to know?
