I hate my fucking car![views:946][posts:12]______________________________________ [Dec 16,2006 11:37am - mOe @ work ""] Good thing i'll be totally done with it in 5 days I'm taking it back to NJ (hopefully it will make it there) to trade with my mom's jeep grand cherokee. It's stalling like CRAZY now. At very high speeds. Now there's this loud pop/knock when it stalls. The engine will just stall out when i'm diong like 70. I took it to MOnro this morning but the crack team of specialists couldnt tell me what it was. There's also this gurgly, tinny sound when I accelerate...almost sounds like a motorcycle engine or some shit. What sucks is i have to play a show in Hudson, NY tonight. I'm sure i'll figure somethin out. Anyway, does anyone know what that problem could be. I just tried to start it and it took me a couple minutes to get it going. I know its NOT an electrical problem. :moe: |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 16,2006 1:16pm - the_reverend ""] not an electrical problem? thanks for that tip mr. wizard. couldn't have figured that one out. |

| _________________________________________ [Dec 16,2006 1:20pm - ctborderpatrol ""] p.s. because i had a loose distributor, i got the truck at a super low price of 700 bucks. now it runs sweet. go me |

I say call Click and Clack. ps: you are a pussy for not driving stick. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 16,2006 1:37pm - mOe @ work ""] well, u just had a tuneup so the plugs and wires are brand new i honestly think its a clogged injector or fuel line it sounds like the pop/knock is coming from under the hood on the passenger side |
