even if we could tell you exactly whats wrong from through the internet, why would you fix it yourself? theres a warranty, if in doubt get it towed back to the shop $50-$80 is alot less than the cost of your rebuilt engine.

call the company. and TOW it back. If you drive it back knowing there is an issue and it goes boom...likely they won't be liable.

Its probably something very wrong or very insignificant. That's OBD-1 for you..But that noise your saying.. that's not a good sign at all..
Good luck, get it towed! --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |
