Some cars will knock for th first minute or so on a cold start until the oil starts to circulate through the engine
It's time for a new engine.
yes,it isn't hard to get it back in time though.:)
i have sputhe engine with braided oil lines every time i start it it squits oil every where then it stops
Could be fuel or electrical problem. Does the car start and run okay the first time you start it? Does the engine run smoothly under load?
my 1999 dodge ram knocks when starting lasts 4 or 5 seconds then stops.
Yes, without a fuel pump supplying fuel the engine will not run.
The knock sensor on a 99 Infinity I30 is located on top of the engine near the intake manifold. It monitors the engine's combustion and helps it adjust when the ignition time becomes off
Not really an answer, more to the question. You can hear the knock at idle. However, if the engine has time to cool, it's not so audible. Also, if you hit the accelerator, the sound seems to die away when the engine returns to idle. The sound is coming from both the top and bottom of the engine.
Check your distributor cap. Mine was cracked and every time it rained the car wouldn't start. We replaced it and the car started every time. I don't think it's a good idea to wet down your engine, though.
No engine lube at start up. Bad oil pump or very dirty engine lube passages.
It will just keep your time from retarding use more gas put strain on engine.
bearing on crankshaft worn or damaged, caused by lack of oil. start engine if it will and pull plug wires off one at a time and you'll find out wich one. do not rev up engine too high. do not sell car to a friend. motor has to come out and extensive repair on lower end required. if you do not know what a rod bearing knock is then it is not a do it yourself fix. major repair.
