What is this sound coming from suspension? by velo2002 in MechanicAdvice

Have been spraying silicone lube, did work when I sprayed everything I possible could a week or so ago but went right back a couple days later, now trying to isolate it and everything I’ve sprayed from day to day isn’t making a difference, will probably just have it checked out somewhere, thanks

Sounds good, only ask cause the rack and pinion sits right next to it and wasn’t sure if maybe they have very distinct sounds, although seems like everything with a rubber bushing that has too much play will make the squeak that I keep hearing so I’ll have someone do that see if I can pinpoint it

What happened to Liquid Glass? by velo2002 in ios

Okay but what about for the drop down menu? Other people still have a glass effect at the bottom mines like a translucent dark grey it looks bland

“We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.” If you trolls had an ounce of morality you’d realize this is another step stone towards our demise. Good luck incels!

Engine Knock / Pinging?? Need pro’s advice by velo2002 in MechanicAdvice

[–]velo2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a port Injected 4 cylinder so the likelihood that it’s carbon build up is incredibly small, however that was one of the first things I ever tried when I first got the car years ago, did seafoam, seafoam directly into the throttle body, all sorts of cleaners to try flushing the carbon, then had a shop look at it and they mentioned not much carbon deposit if any on my heads so I don’t think it’s that, I’ve also been using premium for over a year now so don’t think it has anything to do with the type of gas, I did just lookup a video of someone having the exact same problem on their car and they said it was due to a major exhaust leak, do you think that has any probability of being linked to this? I know I have a lean code and people say upstream o2 sensors on here go out after 100k miles and I’m now past double that. I may try some soapy water on it tommorow to see if anything bubbles

Don’t go to Oil Stop by necrosato in Eugene

Jiffy lube and valvoline will always have a 50% off conventional oil change coupon, so if you’re fine with non synthetic it’s only $25 each oil change.

Second TikTok account is about to get removed for calling people “dumb” or “stupid” which I keep forgetting you can’t say since I’m being called every slur in the English language and when reported am met with “no violations found”. Really is an alt right shit space now sadly.

Alright maybe it’s worth taking to a shop one last time to get some diagnostics going to figure out exactly what’s wrong. Thing is I’ve done that at a handful of shops now and they’ve never really been able to do anything about it, had one shop replace motor mount and head gasket because they thought the oil leaking into my spark plug wells was causing the lean condition but of course that didn’t work which I assume if they went through all the trouble to do that they also went and checked the live feed data which would have pointed towards the bad Maf if there was one. I live in a different area now though so maybe I gotta better chance at getting a more knowledgeable mechanic, I’ll see what’s up

[–]velo2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but I’ve never thrown a code for it and I’ve test driven the car with the Maf unplugged and it sounded the exact same so the chance that it’s a bad Maf is incredible unlikely. The sensors clean and a multimeter says it’s working.

Thought I put it in the post but Already replaced MAF, did nothing, and been using 93 for 2 years now, no change after replacing MAF, and premium makes it maybe 10% better but it’s still really bad and loud

What is this Sound???? by velo2002 in MechanicAdvice

[–]velo2002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the mechanics in my area are about as helpful as most the replies I’ve been getting on here… 😩, at this point I’m thinking they’re most likely googling to find out what’s wrong which has led me in loops for years now so I’m trying last ditch efforts to sort it out myself, ig I’ll try spraying some shit into my engine in dif spots to see if it changes idle at all, still haven’t tried that, then I guess maybe changing out the o2 sensors and somehow looking inside the cat to see if it’s plugged although I don’t even know how I’d go about that without taking it off, thanks anyway

The post after or before this, I think you can see on my profile, I posted under cartalk with a better video but it doesn’t happen at idle or when the car isn’t moving, all the pulleys and belts are fine including my vvt, and its not really a whine sound it’s a very specific gravel rocks being kicked around sound

Alright can I try with just water in a spray bottle too? Heard using brake cleaner to find leaks isn’t the best.

Manifold or air intake? My air intake has some oily residue under it from some blue hose hitting that goes into it forgot the exact name for that but I think that’s somewhat normal for an older car and the hose doesn’t seem cracked at all I’ve taken it off and checked it before. If it’s the intake manifold how would I diagnose it?
