12. Are you talking about preignition, i.e. 'run-on'?

Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 01:29 PM by Oeditpus Rex

Is the noise like "clackita clackita clackita clackita" and is it accompanied by the car lurching slightly forward, or acting like it wants to? That's preignition, or "run-on," and it can mean one or more of a few things.

If it's more of a metallic "tick... tick... tick..." it's the expansion and contraction of metal as the engine abruptly goes from being cooled to just sitting there.

PM me if you want. :hi:
