jmfasc said:is it normal for the dipstick to be sucking air in at idle? and aslo,i hooked up an air compressor to my intake at about 18psi and air comes out the dipstick,what does that mean?any help would be great thanks
it does it when i accel,and its more like a clattering valvetrain noise.i have to put in nuetral and then give it a couple revs,then it will go.there is black carbon stuff coming out the exhaust when i first start it up. as far as history goes, i just bought the car about sixs months ago and it started spitting oil uot the dipstick,so i ook it in and they said it has a burnt ring or bad piston.so it sat up for a while,until i started to read these forums,and i got it to stop spitting,the plugs r good,the wires r brand new,new crank sensor,and as far as mods, its got headers (mid length)5% sp pully,73mmtb,73mmmaf,stiffer valve spings,injectors dont know what size,removed cats and resinator and i think thats itDavid Neibert said:To help you figure out what's wrong (if anything) your going to need to provide a little history on the car and describe what it's now doing in greater detail.
For example, when you say diesel noise are you talking about it continuing to run a little after the ignition is turned off...or are you describing the clattering valvetrain noise that a diesel engine makes ? Does it happen only when cold or all the time..ect...ect.
