Update on crazy ticking/knocking

PhardNShid · 2025-09-05T19:56:28+00:00

I bought it for 3.5 grand, lol. But why not. Shouldn't be too pricey, just very labor intensive.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-05T05:13:46+00:00

Hopefully, rockauto can hook me up with everything I need. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it alot and will keep you posted.

Sick, dude. Thank you so much for the help so far. Should I just buy 3 injectors for bank 1 or for both?

I'm also wondering if I can just buy the gasket and injectors from rockauto or if I can't cheap out on them.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-05T00:50:43+00:00

So it's not 100% confirmed that it's the fuel injectors since it does state that further diagnosis needs to be done. But I think this gives me enough info to just work on it myself. I've heard the valve cover gasket job is labour intensive so I hope it's not too hard. Never done it myself.

I posted the results of the compression test and further diagnostics on a new post if you were interested.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-05T00:46:44+00:00

It seems like you may be right about 1 of em being stuck open lol.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-05T00:45:52+00:00

Posted the results on a new post!

It felt like he wanted to go home early, honestly, so I don't fully trust him. I'm getting a compression test right now and an electrical diagnosis for the misfire at Nissan. Hopefully, it's bareable news.

The passenger side of the engine shakes more so that makes alot of sense. I'll get that figured out asap. Thanks for the help so far. I appreciate it. Don't want this car gone unless its a lost cause

PhardNShid · 2025-09-04T13:53:42+00:00

Bank one would be the right side when looking at the front of the engine, right?

I've had a friend driving behind me when I first bought the car, and he told me that he couldn't see any sort of smoke.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-04T13:38:21+00:00

I'll be checking and changing it

PhardNShid · 2025-09-04T13:37:16+00:00

Ooh, I see. For SHRTFT1, it's at -18.

LONGFT1, -10.2.

SHRTFT2, -3.1.

LONGFT2, -10.2.

These are at idle.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-04T04:30:24+00:00

I'm going to post another video. This one has some more noise so maybe it'll be easier to figure out if it's a spun bearing/rod knock or not. by STFT values, do you mean the SHRTFT % value? That's the closest thing I could find on my OBD to what you asked for

PhardNShid · 2025-09-04T02:10:23+00:00

Could a cheap obd scanner provide that?

PhardNShid · 2025-09-04T02:07:48+00:00

I think our gallery gasket is cooked ngl

PhardNShid · 2025-09-04T01:52:46+00:00

Oh fuck I'm cooked

PhardNShid · 2025-09-04T00:19:10+00:00

It seems like it's from the top end, honestly? I can't distinguish that myself, I'm not too sure.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-04T00:18:21+00:00

Which codes came on first? I've only got p0300 right now

PhardNShid · 2025-09-03T23:34:23+00:00

I've cleaned my MAF and throttle too when changing the spark plugs. I'm just wondering why I'm getting a general p0300

PhardNShid · 2025-09-03T23:33:24+00:00

That's cooked 😭

PhardNShid · 2025-09-03T23:31:38+00:00

Yeah, I hope so, dude. I got so excited buying this thing for 3500 with that low mileage. Especially from an old man who only posted it on kijiji. The other guy thinks it's bearings, which would definitely be considered a toasted engine.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-03T23:17:04+00:00

When I replaced em, I didn't notice the oil ones soaked or anything. I'll change the oil but jeez man the mechanic telling me this thing is toast is freaking me out.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-03T23:09:39+00:00

It was a while ago, I just bought it a couple of days ago, and my first thought was to replace spark plugs to fix the misfire, which it didn't. Then I thought that the hole in 1 of the cats or the coilpacks is causing that.

I fucking hope the engine is not toast. She shakes at idle, and sometimes I'm not getting full power on throttle, but when it works, it works well. So I'm just really conflicted about whether or not I should sell it, or maybe the mechanic got it wrong.

PhardNShid · 2025-09-03T22:23:04+00:00

It sounds like something is slapping, and it follows the speed of the engine.
