This morning I started my car to go to Wal-Mart and I noticed that the engine was knocking quite a bit. Ive never noticed any sort of knocking previous to today. Im not sure if what is happening directly correlated to the engine but Im assuming it is. What exactly does this mean? Also it isnt directly related with engine speed. It will knock at the same rate as the engine speed but it isnt consistant. Like if I rev it to 3,000RPM like 3 times the knocking pattern is diffrent every time. My car likes to eat oil, I dont know where it goes as it doesnt smoke or leak. But regardless I have to fill up my oil resivoir like every 3 weeks. It was low on oil this morning. I now have the oil back to a normal level but it still knocks.
Does anyone know what this means and what i have to do to fix it? This post has been edited by MK153: Sep 5, 2004 - 12:35 PM -------------------- |

Thanks, cheapest I could find a complete was $800.
I took my car to Toyota today... they said they are booked throughout the week and they could get me in for a Diagnostic Check on friday at 1PM... The mechanic said that they would take off the valve cover to determine if there is alot of gunk in there he said in some cases the oil turns into tar. Has anyone ever heard of this? He said its mainly common on Toyota's minivan. So basicly what Im asking is what you all think.. do you think I should sell my celica in its current state? How much would it be worth then? Or should I bite the bullet and get a new engine? -------------------- |
