souds like its low on oil or may need lifters or possible it needs a cam or new timing chain depending on the knock . i would make sure its full of oil first . if that's not it i would take it to a machanic
yes hot or cold it affects idle speed
Your car can only create cold air if the engine is running to make the coolant work correctly. If your car is idle, your engine is still hot but your engine isn't running so the air you are receiving is actually air heated by the engine.
Severely over heating the engine may have damaged the main and rod bearings.
No, as long as the engine is not running hot it will not bother the transmission.
1,000 to 2000 depending on condition of engine
If it's a engine knock it could be low on coolant or have head damage...
Either your fans aren't working or the thermostat is stuck closed.
Stalling at idle? Immediately after starting? While driving? While stopping? Cold or hot engine? What engine do you have?
You may have blown a head gasket. Stop driving it until you can find out.
To stop spark knock , try a higher octane fuel. Make sure that the engine is timed properly and that the spark plug type isn't considered too "hot."
The oil pressure will depend on the condition of the engine. If you have 10 lbs at idle when engine is hot with this mileage, you are within specs. I would use 10W-30 oil. oil pressure of 10lbs and up is acceptable at hot idle. i like to use havoline 30wt oil. have never had a problem with it.
If the knock increases with wheel speed and stays if you press the clutch its probably a semi-siezed wheel bearing. The engine gets hot as its having to work hard to overcome the bearings friction. If the knock is when accelerating or decelerating is probably a badly worn rear axle CV joint, although this would not make the engine hot? If the knock is from the engine then its rebuild time, probably a little end worn causing the piston to slap on the gudgeon pin creating the knock. Hope this helps
