A bad connecting rod bearing can do this
The knocking noise is commonly called spark knock. The knock can be called by the engine timing not being set correctly, or using gas that has too low of an octane for the engine.
can you elaborate? engine noise? stationary/moving? ticking, tapping or a definite knocking?
my car engine is on but with a loud knocking noise but when i apply some gas it does not move at all. my car is an automatic civic.
a "knocking" noise could be your lifters. and the ticking when accelerating and letting out of the gas is the same thing. check your oil and if it's full then you may need to think about either having them adjusted, or getting new ones. depending on what you have depends on whether or not you wanna sell it
No
Usually, a knocking engine is very bad, and requires replacement or rebuild of the engine. If the engine is going "clank-clank-clank" at idle, and the sound gets louder when you get on the gas and disappears for a sec or two when you let off, that means you gotta replace the engine. You ain't gonna go for but a couple more miles before you throw a rod....
Knocking is caused by preignition, where the heat in the cylinder causes the gas to ignite before the spark plug does. Try using a higher octane/grade gas and see if the noise goes away.
Knocking is caused by preignition, where the heat in the cylinder causes the gas to ignite before the spark plug does. The noise could also be piston slap, which is caused by a worn cylinder wall. Try using a higher octane/grade gas and see if the noise goes away. In certain engines like the Malibu 3.1 liter and others, the knocking is caused by a piston rocking in the cylinder. This is called piston slap. It is a damaging condition, but seems to be considered "normal" by GM.
Yes Yes
== == Upgrade your gas. Use premium grade, that will eliminate the knocking.
this sounds like the big end bearings in engine are worn.this is an expensive repair,depending on how long the knocking has been knocking and whether the crankshaft has been damaged enought to need a new crankshaft.
what would cause a knockings noise in my boat 3560- 2004 transmission when in idle goes away when you give it gas
