Whats Wrong With My Ru?


Recommended Posts

i drive a 91 ea82 spfi wagon. When Im driving and go uphill or put the motor under a load(shortshifting), it makes this load clicking, almost a rattle. I suspect the disty.......

 

Replaced

.timing belts

.plugs/wires

.cap/rotor/disty(used, thanx Bratman).

.air filter

I inspected and replaced the disty tonight , I made sure everything was lined up perfect, however i didnt pull the tb covers as I replaced the belts in feb this year. I took the censoroff the airbox and it was clean as was its home.

 

my old one had a bunch of what look like arc marks along the inside rim.

 

:note:

 

When I replaced the rotor I made dropped the screw into the hole in the x-member and my magnet cant reach:mad: it was clicking before i used the other screw I had that "fit"

 

IDEAS? im out of them.....

typically I run midgrade thru it, although premium and regular get put in depending on cashflow. seafoam sounds good...... I didnt gap the spark plugs, I just left them they way they came out of the box. Would that be anything?

 

 

 

Thanx ppl

If it pings check timing. Either bad gas, stretched belts or bad/worn tune up parts will cause this. If it has been going on for a while check parts. If it just started after fueling up check bad fuel.

Thanx for all the advice you guys, I set the timing(drivers side was off a tooth) and tada no more pinging:banana:. i took the belt off of the ac compressor I dont use while I was under there and will soon remove the whole thing. I did noticec that the motor is a bit noisier than it was before(see air compressor type sound) on that side of the motor now. What'd I do wrong?

 

 

UBER THANX TO EVERYBODY USMB FO LIFE!!!!!!!
