Now my tranny I shot (I know this because I no longer have reverse or can't get out of first gear in drive...reaches 4000rpm at 20mph). My bigger problem, though, is that my car also makes a loud clicking noise (or tapping which ever you prefer) under the hood while running but can't exactly tell where it is coming from. It sounds as if it is coming from the engine compartment on the driver's side, but can't tell for sure. Also, more smoke than usual has been coming out of the exhaust...the exhaust also sounds 'weird'. It sounds like how old chevys sound, too, the "hollow garble-like" sound.
PLEASE HELP WITH ANY SUGGESTIONS BECAUSE MECHANICS AREN'T BEING VERY HONEST WITH ME...IF POSSIBLE, EMAIL ME AT [email protected]
THANK YOU |
Hmmmm sounds like maybe the catilyst converter or the carburator can be clogged is that car fuel injected ?
