Engine Noise
Okay so I started my car in the morning and this is what I hear.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMSy6Yvx5w I had to drive it ( I know very dumb, but i have no choice) to go get a family members car to use as i had to drive about 10 miles to the city. I had almost no power when I hit the accelerator, like I felt like a bicycle would of been faster! She was driving the best she could the day before for having 163xxx on her ( I did beat the crap out of her when I first got her...I was 16 and dumb and I like to race:cool:). If any one can help out as to what it could be/estimated price to fix I would greatly appreciate it.... If you need any more info I will gladly tell you if it can help! Thank you |
Sounds like a bad injector, but I can not pinpoint just where the sound is coming from. A stethoscope would narrow it down
|
I have her at the shop now so ill find out what it is.
thanks tho |
Rj is probably right, but maybe you'll luck out and find it's just a spark plug with carbon clogging the gap. It sure has one hell of a miss in it. Sounds like an old red belly ford tractor.
|
What did you find out?
|
well my dude at the shop said that the engine is completely trashed!:eek: Not sure what all happened to it (I'll find out the total extent of the damage and post it up) but he got me a new motor with 22,000 on it!:D So now my baby will be back to life!!:D I'm upset cuz I have to dish out $$$ to get her back on the road but I love my ride so much its worth it all! and in a couple of months I'm going to get my tranny looked at/ or just wait till it starts to go and my dude said he will get me a nice deal on a total rebuild of the tranny:D So now Ill have a 04 iON with 22k on the dash.... Let the mods begin!!

Totally trashed? It didn't sound like that to me. I've been tinkering with cars for over 40 years and I seriously doubt that what ever that was, wasn't a repairable thing. BUT, it's your money and if you want to take someone elses word for it, so be it.

I do appreciate your input tho. It prob can be fixed but he mentioned he could just order me a new motor and ya I'm on it and its got a 1 year cover all warranty.:) Plus I have some money for a newer car but when this happened I was looking at other cars to buy and I just cant get ride of her! so I figured just get a new motor and boom new car lol:D My mechanic knows me and my ride and he has never did me wrong so I can trust him.( hes the best in the area I've looked at the all..... ya all rip offs and cant do their job right lol) |
