im crusing down the freeway. actually, im driving like an *******, bouncing off the governor at 125 and 7k rpm about 3 times in 2 minutes. really running my motor hard. its the stock ex motor, d16y8, all of a sudden i started hearing this minor fluttering sound, almost like something was hitting my fan.

so i get off the freeway, at a stop light i pop the hood and manually rev the motor..it sounds like its coming from the valves. well at this point im 30 miles from home. so i conitnue driving, as i drive home it gets worse and worse and louder and louder. its gone from a mild chatter, to a full blown knock, almost like a bolt is bouncing around in one of the intake ports or something. its starts getting real bad as i get closer to home, the motor starts stalling when i put it in neutral, im losing power from the motor and the sound is unbearable.


i havent pulled off the valve cover to look...my question is, what could this mean and or be? what should i look for? anyone else have this problem before? someone please help me because this month has been a $1500 month for my car already. i just put a new clutch in, new brake pads, changed the oil like i do every 3k, new tranny fluid, 2 new wheels on the right side from smashing into a curb...its just been one thing after another and what sucks is that its my dd and i need it to get to work. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Joo need to learn how to drive...

Where is the noise coming from? Are you sure its from the valve train?

strictly.business

yeah, its coming from the valve cover. it started only doing it at 3k+, now it does it all the time. its something serious.

sounds more like a rod bearing knocking to me.

strictly.business

but the thing is it hasnt been a progressive thing. it all happend within 40 miles of driving. im gunna pull the valve cover in the morning. see if i see anything wrong. id much rather just swap out a y8 head than have rod bearings replaced. fuuuccck...more info is appreciated.

Probably from power shifting, not granny shifting like you should

Probably from doing 40-0 in under 2.0 seconds at every stoplight

It seems like you already generalized yourself as a really horrible driver... dont get mad when people tell you dont know how to drive, when in fact you already stated so YOURSELF! and dont be mad at me for i have only stated facts, quotes from your own post
