i just bought a red 92 metro with that problem too. we took a compression check of cylinders and found 2 that were gone, took head off and found #1&3 exhaust valve burned through and damaged. i replaced all 3 exhaust valved and regrounded all the valves in place. it runs fine. check your compression first, if good get back to me.
Several things can cause your transmission to be stuck in second gear. Broken or detached shifting linkage will cause the problem. A broken shifting for in the transmission can also cause the problem.
'Knocking' is a technical term for fuel igniting too early in the combustion chamber. It can be resolved by adding anti knock additives to the fuel or by retarding the timing at the relevant revs. Most modern engines have built in knock sensors that do this automatically.
Change it - to avoid a potential future problem.
Yes they can These days especially with the concentration of sports activity's the problem is more prevalent then ever.
If there is no trouble while shifting, then the problem most likely is with the ignition sequence. This could be caused by bad gasoline, a bad timing assembly or faulty spark plugs/wires.
You can use LeChatelier's Principle to solve this problem. For an endothermic reaction A+heat<-->B Thus, by increasing the heat, you are shifting the equilibrium towards the reactants. The reaction will adjust itself by shifting the equilibrium to the right (producing more of the product).
Check the engine timing first. Pinging or knocking,especially under acceleration could be early detenation caused by advanced timing.
NO. A knocking noise in the engine is a problem in the engine.
When you have problem shifting gears, you transmission has a problem.
If its a legitimate knocking then you would want to go with head gasket if its a tapping you would be looking at a valve
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
my transmission is not shifting on my 2005 Ford Taurus what could be the problem
A Dodge Stratus shifting problem might begin because of dirty transmission fluid. This problem could also be caused by damage to the transmission due to wear and tear or low fluid.
A problem with shifting is usually related to a problem with the transmission. Because it is difficult to shift while the fluid is cold, this indicates a buildup or residue, especially if the transmission oil has never been changed.
A sign of a transfer case problem is the inability to shift between 2 and 4 wheel drive in the vehicle. Leakage of fluids is also a sign of a transfer case problem. Overheating of the transfer case, slow reaction to shifting, and a general foul odor are all signs of a transfer case problem.
A knocking noise in the front wheels can be a very serious problem. The knocking noise could be caused by bad ball joints. Bad ball joints can slip off the tie rods and cause the wheel assembly to collapse. This problem should be looked at as soon as possible.
A broken shifting fork in the transfer case will cause your vehicle to stay in the gear that it was in when the shifting fork broke. Broken shifting linkage can also cause the problem.
