My car rumbled like a V8 for a little while. Then the noise stopped.

It turned out that the rumble was my rod trying to get out of the block. The noise stopped when this happened.

There were some weird noises coming out of the engine bay. It stop wen i poped the hood to check it out.. there were some poping noises from the exhauls. it wasn't idel at a certain rpm.. idels at very low like 3-4 bars on the rpm meter (is that normal anyways?) after i test drove it.. i turn off the car and it smell like gas in the front. (gas like our stove, not gasoline). Possibly from the exhauls. This sucks

Hey guys. I just fixed my car. One of my spark plug was burned. The car was running on 3 cylinders, so i guess that was why it rumbles so hard. Thanks for all the help. Especailly xviper (again) His instruction on how to change the spark plugs were crystal clear w/ pictures!!! Im happy again
