How can I find out if there's anything wrong with my engine, how much longer it will last and what I can do to it reliability-wise? I'm undecided whether I should work on the engine (or possibly do a swap) or work on the appearance of my car? Are there places that do engine inspections/diagnostics, and tell you about its condition?
Thanks

115k miles, '94 GT. The only thing that worries me so far is a rattle when accelerating after switching gears (or when I start in 1st). I can usually drive the car without it making that noise (if I give it just the right amount of gas while taking my foot off the clutch), but I would still like to know where it's coming from. If I take my car to Autozone and Pep Boys do you think they'd be able to help?
Edit: I forgot...It can make the same sound when I'm accelerating from low rpm in 2nd or 3rd (it sounds like I'm forcing the engine or the transmission) This post has been edited by Rider: Dec 17, 2004 - 5:29 PM |
