This is not for me, but a friend .

Apparently he was driving, and all of a sudden he started to loose power as he was giving the engine some gas. We had just changed the oil, like 3 hours ago, and changed the fuel filter, air filter.coolant.

neways. He was driving right now, and his car is sounding like a Subaru.
and its knocking in the engine, and vibrating his whole chasis.
He has a 95 s14.

When he gives his car gas, the rpms go up real slowely.

can anyone point out this problem??

I'm thinking that that knock might be rod knock.

his car is not overheating what so ever.

.

are you sure your car just isn't misfiring? probably can use a tuneup.

anthony u fuck and why is this offtopic? Seems like ur friend has a 240 and its having TECH problems u noob! anyway the whole subuaru thing is caused from either bad plug wires, bad sparkplug, or bad injector. While the car is running disconnect one at a time until u find the culprit cylinder behind this power loss! If its not ne of that check the fuel pump its probably dying

lol, i've forgotten to do that before. Made a mess!

*ManoNegra* · 07-26-2006, 09:13 AM

Oil pressure loss or fuel pump would be my guess. Good luck

One of your sparkplugs is not working.

NO check engine light warning?

!Zar! · 07-26-2006, 12:24 PM

SiI40sx said it right.

Your spark plug wire is loose.

If it IS fuel related your friend should not drive his car and tow it home.

My friend had a shop change his injectors/fuel filter, fuel lines, and next thing you know, later that day his car burnt to the ground and he said it sounded something like a subie.

HKsilvia · 07-27-2006, 01:07 AM

what car is it?
if it is a 240 it may deal to coilpack is dying. because if the car is losing power and sound like subaru then it has a high probability that one or more cylinder(s) is/are not firing. if your friend is using a KA, check sparkplug/ sparkplug wire, if using SR, check coilpack and stuff.
