my 2002 s sounds like its got a diseal truck engine from the inside of the car its about 28,000 is this something that happens to alot of s2000. any ideas

 

overrev? misshift? hydrolock?

how did it happen? i doubt it's something overnight.

 

Please define "sounds like a diesel". Thank you.

 

Needs a valve adjustment?

 

idk i hear it at idol not when driving and it sounds like a rattle but more deep threw the dash

 

OHHHH NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!

Not really. Post up some sound clips, be more descriptive, or just take it somewhere where they can hear what you're talking about.

Idle? With any accesories on? Anything else going on? Did you do something to the car? etc. etc. etc.

This is the internet. Since we're not there to personally diagnose your issue, you have to be descriptive....and even if you are, there's a pretty big chance that everyone's answer will be a guess.

Take it somewhere (with competent people), and have them check it out.

 

could this be the timing chain tensioner i looked it up on youtube and found a clip of the simular sound. is this a common problem if so how hard to fix? srry about the lack of discription and i have no camera to get a sound clip srry

 

if it is infact your timing chain tensioner it is an easy fix. anyone with any sort of mechanical know how can do it in under 30 min. It will run you about 129 for the part

 

HTG has them. Get'r done, don't wait.

 

spellcheck.net sells required parts



could be TCT.. could be scored cylinder wall, rod knock, very noisy injector, who knows.
