Hole in the exhaust? Cheap Ebay muffler?

Mario245

I've noticed a hole in part of the welding before the muffler, I've seen water drop out when first starting the car after a few days of not starting it.

i think you are going to be a little more specific. farting noises can make a wide range of sounds.

I've actually got a video of it

You can hear it more after the :15 second mark.

... its prolly just back pressure cause either ur exhaust is too big or something wrong with it

Mario245

I doubt it's from it being too big since I've had this car since Oct. 2008 and this just started in May.

try listening to the engine with the hood up while its making that noise. sounds almost like a misfire. you should be able to hear it in the engine if it is.

Mario245

I don't hear it while listening to the engine and it only does it at idle, car drives fine.

any cels?

Mario245

None, used to have #41 but I went ahead and replaced the Primary O2 Sensor.

check for the timing..

anothersickhatch

I honestly don't think its the exhaust. im thinking a misfire. could be spark plugs, cap or rotor, or timing.

Mario245

Well I've already changed the plugs, wires, rotor and cap, and the Ignition Coil.

Mario245

sins

dont worry about it its cool besides it can help me find out the same problem im having...

Mario245

Another thing: My oil smells a bit like gas but I'm not burning any oil, does that still mean my rings could be messed up?

anothersickhatch

if you arent burning any oil, then dont worry about it.

and stop stealing threads. if you want to start a new thread, you are more than welcome.

Mario245

Alright because I was going to change my oil soon, just wanted to be sure.

Oil that smells like fuel would mean I have a fuel problem, correct?

OP: Check the ignition timing with a timing gun.
