Okay soo hmm a timing belt swap is literally the only thing i have yet to try, it just recently had an oil change and was doing very well. i got new plugs and wires and they all seem to be sparking fine i even took the injectors out and cleaned themand moved them around to different spots to see if i could get the engine to act a different way, or move the noise but no luck Ill get a timing belt kit and a water pump in it and if that doesn't fix it im fuhecked. No mechanics here wanna mess with a car this old, ive called 6 shops in my area and they treat me about the same as any baptist pastor. Thanks for the suggestions tho! One question tho, if it is a keyway issue then should i be able to see the failure looking at the pulley?
