BANGING NOISE from Engine !
This is the '93 I got from killswitch around Christmas with no Title. I should have a Title by the end of the month, but I am SO anxious to tear into this car, I can't wait!! I don't see how some of you guys can stand having your cars down for repairs that take forever! No wonder a lot of you have more than ONE SC !!
Anyhow, he described the sound as a 'knock', but everyone in the neighborhood agrees that the noise is definiately a 'metal-on-metal' BANG that is coming from behind the engine somewhere.
Other than the CONSTANT 'banging', the car idels great, and the vacuum gauge shows 20 at idle. I didn't realize at the time that the TRANS was also malfunctioning, as if it were low on fluid(which it is NOT). I rev it some to get it to catch briefly so the car will move to the end of the driveway, where I can wash it. As the RPM goes up, so does the BANGING noise. Maybe you guys are right, and I shouldn't start it anymore.
Just wondering what it could be, and how much $$$ it's gonna end up costing. No matter, I love the car anyway!!
Oh, one Saturday I had every gear-shifting, truck-driving, grease-monkey in the neighborhood over listening to the car, but none of them had ever seen a SuperCoupe before. They did agree that it is NOT a 'spun-bearing' or a 'rod-knock', and it is NOT coming from the bottom end. Further discussion deteriorated into a beerfest that made no sense whatsoever.
Thanks again for your LEARNED advice!!
