    Default CA18DET help

    I followed HeavyThrottle's instruction about crankin the car. I did it for 20seconds, 3-5 times, but the oil pressure light was still on. THen I realized the front of the car was jacked way up high while the rear was on the ground...stupid me. I lowered the car and cranked again and the oil pressure light went out. The whole time i was cranking the car there was a loud rubbing sound(metal on metal)...

    I started the car and it idled around 1500rpm and the sound is still there. I don't want to make it worse so I turned the car off. NOw I took off all the belts except timing belt to find the source of the problem but the sound is still there. Now my car doesn't even start with differ battery; I even hoocked it up to a running car with a cable jumper. CLick on the link to hear the nerve wrecking sound I'm dealing with.

    He should have also told you to remove the spark plugs and add about a ounce of oil to each cylinder, turn it over, then put the plugs back in.

    ...i'll have to tow it there. I did everything myself and it's kinda wierd to take it to a shop when I'm almost done with the engine. BTW, i fixed it already but I have a new problem. sigh.
