R33 Engine Stalling And Knocking

[BluSky3]

Hi All,

Need some help here, does anyone know what would cause the engine to have a knocking noise and becomes louder as you accelerate, and also when stoping at the red light the rpm will drop and the car will stall and takes a few trys before restarting? Sounds mechanical but someone said it also could be electrical any ideas? Thanks

Sounds like your engine is damaged - Possibly a spun bearing, or worse.

Stop driving it and get it to a reputable workshop for diagnosis asap.

Thanks Blitz, How much time or driving you think i have before it totally dies? i've got around 50-60 Km to travel before i get home. i'm going to go to a local garage near my work to get them to have a quick look. Do you think i would of taken a cyclinder out? someone said it was oil pressure or a crank on the manifold?

to be honest, when you have the death rattle there really isn't any time left. I'd be turning the car off and calling a tow truck before you destroy your crank etc and it costs more for the rebuild.

Sounds like you spun a bigend bearing.

If it was a cracked manifold it would sound like a tractor.

drive it home man, jus remember that when it gets loud enuf that u cant hear anything else to hit the left hand lane and prepare 2 pull ova, hopefully ul get it home tho, spend the money u were gona spend on a towie 2wards a second hand motor, for $1200 ur back on the road, n depending what u get with the new motor u can sell unwanted bits off 2 recoop funds.
