1) check your oil, if its low (like barely on the dipstick, then assume its a rod knock)
2) If you have plenty of oil, drain your oil into a CLEAN oil pan an check with a MAGNET for metal shavings.
3) pull the oil filter off, and cut it open an inspect for metal shavings.
4) Pull lower pan off, and check for metal shavings

let the car warm up, and see if the knock goes away.

[The Ren]

i had an oil change not even 2K miles ago... at 119xxxK.. its at 121xxxK now... which is what really pisses me off..

[Vteckidd]

check it anyway, where did you get your oil changed

[The Ren]

Batlground did it...

[Vteckidd]

ok, then thats fine . i was making sure you didnt go to jiffy lube or something, ive seen people go for an oil change an come out with only 1 qt in their car LOL.

Drain the oil an check it anyway. maybe its not a rod knock, maybe its something else.

[Vteckidd]

does it get louder the more you rev it?

[The Ren]

I was too afraid to rev it.. After I heard that I was just like.. wtf not something else...

[Vteckidd]

rev it up, to like 4500-5000 an see if it gets louder or goes away. if it gets louder, start draining the oil an check it like i said.

if it goes away, let the car warm up an see if it gets louder.

replacement motors are pretty cheap though, so it wont be too bad.

[The Ren]

i should be looking for metal shavings when i drain it?

[CSquared]

Indeed.

[The Ren]

well looks like this will be my project next weekend...

Call me on my cell Karen. If you have triple A you can have them tow it over here and we'll listen to it. Dan says it's hard to tell if it's rod knock from the vid. He said it sounds more like tranny (but you have an automatic). He said rod knock is usually gradual and sounds more like a tapping. He also said if you didn't hear it when you shut the car off or if it wasn't a gradual progression to the noise it's making now (which is more like a rumble than a tapping) then it's unlikely that it's knocking...but it's def something. Obviously.

[The Ren]

Its only when its in drive or reverse.. it doesnt do that when its in park...

[Tracy]

Its only when its in drive or reverse.. it doesnt do that when its in park...

He said it's prolly the tranny then.

[The Ren]

Tell Dan thank you.. Ill be in touch this week..

[The Ren]

worse come to worse... built tranny ftw

[The Ren]

I tried to do another one.. although my phone is being gay and wont send it.. but when I was in neutral and I tried to rev it just a bit.. the car like wouldnt let me and it was like trying to stall out on me...

[Vteckidd]

blown convertor or tranny then.

you left out the "it only does it in drive an reverse" LOL

if you need a tranny let me know, i have 4 Auto trannys from JDM supras. $250 a piece

[The Ren]

You know.. when i was at kaufman a month ago getting my tires changed.. the dude told me he thought my cat was gone because he said he heard a jingeling sound and thought it was the ceramic balls from the cat.. but its a random tech high flow cat and i bought it in sept of 05.. isnt that kinda soon?

[Vteckidd]

im talking about the TORQUE CONVERTOR in the tranny, not the catalytic convertor.

[The Ren]

yeah well.. i have your number.. so urm.. i may be calling you soon..lol
