Knocking?
Wednesday, March 23, 2005 8:04 PM
AHHHH!!! Wierd clicking noise.. when i start up the engine, it sounds like something is knocking, but when im driving i dont notice it as much.. i was thinking it was something with the belts but i couldnt find a thing wrong with them. It sounds like valve knocking, but im not sure. Anyone had this problem before? Or any guesses that i could use to troubleshoot this problem?

What engine? Low on oil? Maybe a rod bearing or a main bearing?

Is it loud or quiet? Did it start suddenly without reason or has the engine been worked on recently? How many miles are on the engine?

alright.. well i went and got it checked out.. turns out the idiots that did the last oil change ( wasnt me.. ) used filter pliers to tighten the filter.. and in the same process ripped a pin-head sized hole in the filter.. which was spewing oil all over my engine.. hence the burning smell, and the fact that i was 2.5 quarts low when i pulled in. So i had the dealership replace it and clean up the engine.. all for the price of free. But the tech there told me that the clicking sound from the engine ( it was the lifters btw.. ) is from low oil.. but for some reason my check oil light didnt come on.. i think its a bum sensor.. so i gotta replace that. Just thought i'd update you guys. Thanks for the help.

96 was the lat year for the oil level sensor
