another post on matts behalf:



the other day he complains about a clicking noise when the car is running. i take a look and the clicking is pretty loud, comes from the engine bay, speeds up with revving, and clicks at the same time the pulsation damper pulses.



bad pd? could this be the problem?



anyone know where to get cheap injectors? mtrix has em for like 338 each!

cool but what the heck is skip inks? also, i think we still need to try my wires on there before you go spending $300 on something you may not need.



also, does anyone have an opinion on whether or not the loud clicking from the pd could have something to do with possible injector leaking?

Try this one, do a full tuneup on it, plugs,wires,cap and rotor, oil change filter the whole nine. Then take it from there.

see if that helps.

matt you shoot so many flames that your car has to be running rich, maybe if we tune it again the prob will go away

[quote name='1revnrex' date='May 15 2005, 08:44 PM']So do I, it helps bump your compression a bit, every little bit helps on a high mileage motor. Also if your omp were to become clogged or you were to crack a meter line from the pump itself you wouldnt eat a rotor up because you would be all pre-mixed and what not.

I had the same problem on my GSLSE and it was the fuel pump next time it does not start hit the fuel pump
