well when i start my car theres this light knock and a squeak with acceleration. think its a lifter a but not sure. if it is does anyone know how to replace them or stop it from squeaking.

 

squeaking is prolly from a loose belt alternator would be my guess

second... the knock... check your oil maybe... change the oil

and fixing them... that would be a general question

 

Prolly the dist cap.

 

Mine is doing the same, think my coils are going bad

 

hey has a VE guys...

 

you mean he

Yea, and I got coils

 

The knock is most likely the vtc,s clacking at startup..

The squeal is a loose/worn out accessory belt..

Maybe you need to take this car to a qualified mechanic to get all your issues fixed,instead of starting a new thread everytime you find a new knock/clack/squeel/clunk/hiss/shimmy/etc....etc....etc...

 

remember he grounded them?

 

I grounded mine 3 years ago...They still clack a little at cold start up...

 

yeah. could be them. the alternator belts not squeaking i just replaced that and its pretty tight. could be belt going to compressor. how do i tighten that

 

im in the process of buying a replacement engine but before i get ut u want to see if i can do anything with this one. doesn't look like im going to have dat much progress so time for the replacement

 

Well if its too tight you can damage the bearing on the alternator pulley. therefore wear down the belt and make noise.

 

Also, If you grounded your VTCs and it still clacks it may be the timing chain tensioner.

 

INDEED INDEED!!!!!

 

vtcs or timing chain not sure which 1 but not really caring. just going to replace the whole thing
