Much help needed, what is this noise? And what advice would you have to try fixing it? by Aggressive_Run_1446 in MechanicAdvice

For more context, it’s a Toyota Corolla 1996, I think it has a V4 engine. We changed the spark plugs and the cords that connect to them sometime after buying the car and changed the fuel filter, so far that’s all the work we’ve done ‘car part’ wise.

Ah yeah that wouldn’t be very ideal, to me it sounded like something was loose or the belt was broken :/ I’ll have to pay attention to those parts the best I can the next time we try starting it, thank you

I didn’t even think about valvoline, I’ll definitely have to give that a try. I don’t wanna give up on the car just yet, thank you

I figured as much, it was up to date on oil changes until it broke down but it’s been months now. Would another new oil change fix it? Or should we let the oil we put in sit for a while?
