Chris, If you are referring to a "clacking" or "chattering" noise, it may well be the sound that the lifters make until they are fully lubricated. This noise...
Sorry for the delay in the response, but Joel stole my thunder. (it is hard to diagnose noises in writing) I have no idea how the engine is supposed to sound,...
Hi guys, I don't remember any problems wth the oil pressure, and it's not when the engine is cold. The noise occurs at normal operating temps, during spirited...
The only high speed noises I get can best be described as rattles. Check out the engine tin, and the exhaust mounts. With good oil pressure it is not likely to...
I bid on e-bay for a rebuilt Corolla 1100/1200 starter, and ended up being the high bidder at $5 plus $25 for shipping. I had checked the part numbers for the...
The noise comes under acceleration. I haven't thought to check any engine tin. Perhaps the weather will be good this weekend and Jeff will let me take the car...
