Well, finally got it driving, and now this. At idle there is no idication of any proublems, but when you get on the throttle, bad news.
When the throttle gets to about 2, 3k rpms a bad slapping sound, like something is loose, comes from the front of the motor. Really not sure what it is, but it dosent sound to healthy
Do not believe it is rod knock, its not apparent at idle, and its not constant, dont think its or piston slap.
I think it may be the timing chain, it sounds like it could be loose, and it slaping around at the higher rpms. Would a timing chain make noise all the time, do they go bad often?
Also, I have another issue, it seems my idle is a little goofy, idles fine, but when you give it some gas, its sticks, then you can give it a blip, and it goes right back? Is it simply a sticky throttle plate, or throttle cable? Or is there something in the computer that is telling the car to do that?
