call the previous owner and ask him about it

 

did it overheat?

 

it didnt really go past half way it didnt at one point its a ef civic typeR it goes nuts but now its really slow knocking sound in the engine bay its kind of bobby and wants to go then stops.

 

Sounds like you might of blew a bearing. Pull the plugs and let us know the color or even better yet post some pics of it. Get ahold of a compression tester and see what compression you got across all four cylinders. Shouldn't be anymore than 10psi difference across the board.

 

the colour? i cant compression test it but if there is a place open tomorrow i will get them to check it out

 

if its knocking you might have spun a bearing

 

just need new spark plug wires:D

 

No it sounds like a rod to me I just spun a rod bearing on wensday.

My car went from running perfect so running like **** missing on cylinder 1 and its knocking real bad.
