2 New problems?????

Okay well, this morning i cranked my car and there was a kinda loud clinking nose not knocking, So I lift the hood and it sounded like it was coming from the head area, so I took the oil cap off and I heard it clicking lounder. Can someone tell me what this might be.

Question number two. Okay when I am driving and I put the car in nuetral (I guess that is how to spell it.) to stop the RPM'S start surging from a 1000 to 1500 then when I come to a stop it goes back to 750. So what may this be????

Thanks for any replys :smile:


AKA. I am getting to the point where I just want to sell the car, it is becoming to nerve racking for me. but I still love it.

Oh and it is a 1992 Plymouth Laser RS turbo

question 1: check your oil. or it could be lifter tick
question 2: idle surge, its a pain in the ass to figyure out exactly whats causing it. do a couple searchs here and on dsmtuners.com and you'll find plenty of possible fixes

What is lift tick?????

question 1: i have the same problem when the car isnt warm, when it warms up it quits. i think its cuz the oil has all set to the pan. then it warms up and gets the oil serculating (spelling??)

The spelling would be -> Circulating. :wink:

Check out this previous post. Lots of good info in it on lifter tick.
