any power loss???check engine light on???do you have oil in it??

crist488

yea i had fresh oil in it feels like a lil power loss but i didnt drive it that much after it happend b/c it happend right when around the corner from my house i didnt see da check engine light

what exactly does it sound like? a "clunk" sound can never be good. i had a clunking noies come from my old 300zx and it was a fkd up rod. i was also driving it hard when this happend...were you givin it hell or racing before this happend??

crist488

i wasnt beating it down i was goin like 80 then when i was gettin off da high way then i heard the clunk then my engine turned off when i shift to first gear and then i had to shift real fast so that it wouldnt turn off on me but it always seems to turn off when i get to 1st and the clunk feels like its coming from the bottem clunks even when parked

hannslebo

have you drove it since then?? if so...and its still doing it, you prolly broke one of your rods.

hannslebo

and well...if thats the case you prolly only got a few miles left

new motor is the route to go????

i would take it to a reputable shop and have them look at it. it could be something simple or something complex. it would be far cheaper to have a shop look at it and determine what the problem is, than to drop a new motor in there. do you here this "clunking" noise when driving or just coming to a stop? like is the clunking noise more noticeable while driving?
