however

i do notice the noise DOES change when i turn the steering wheel…so i dont know if its a power steering problem or what???

hummmmmm

[sclark]

yes i check the fluid however i will double check it again I did try to uses a mechanics stethoscope but i hear the noise no mater what i touch lol

[sclark]

and the thing is i don’t have to push down on the gas very much to have the noise stop also if it was the balancer wouldn’t it still make the noise when the belt is off???

thanks

yes i will check it out more and no it makes the noise when the car is parked so i know its nothing to do with the drive train

[sclark]

yes i don’t see any check engine light on ( i think this old car would have a check engine light) i see if i want to replaced the fuel filter i need a special tool i forgot what the tool is called

[sclark]

taking it off he said it will make the connecting rod bearing failure Prematurely and this is because there is not enough oil on those bearing cause of course the engine is not running to make oil pressure…

it kinda makes sense but it dont if that make sense…lol

[sclark]

hummm good point unless he is thinking it moves alittle bit even when its in park and puts stress on the bearing? hummm iam not sure

[sclark]

thanks guys you all have made good points so with that said the finally answer is:

its ok to take the bolt off with impact gun of course dont uses one to put the bolt on cuase it has to be torque to spec

thanks guys

[sclark]

i know the cat converter is new as for the last time the car had a tune up i dont know i bought the car used but iam sure it hasnt been tune up in awhile

where is the egr valve at and how do i check it? i would assume a tune up would be new plugs, plug wires,etc what else for a tune up?

thanks

[sclark]

ok and for checking fuel pressure iam sure i will need a gauge for that right?

yup i just watch erics video on vacum leaks very good video!!!

[sclark]

ya that is what i though i will need a fuel pressure gauge 🙁

as for your other question hummmm iam not sure i will have to turn something on to see

it seems the idle is worst when its cold outside if that makes any sense

[sclark]

what i like to read the codes and clear them maybe have it so i can test circuits but if anything just read and clear codes
