So here is my story...

On sunday me and my mechanic did all the timing belt change with water pump,balance shaft belt,etc. Car was running fine no noises no nothing,running smooth.

So yesterday after my brother took the car and used it all day tuesday, the car was making a clunking noise like bare metal mating,so I check the oil dipstick bam nothing so I fill it up.The noise didnt go away,and today when I started it her up in the morning it was still making that clunking noise,went for a quick drive and died on me.

Damn cel came on and gave me code p0108 which is the MAP sensor, towed it to my mechanics house and we did a compression test and 0 all across we were like damn timing belt came off or it skipped a couple of teeth but checked all the timing and it was fine.

So not sure what it is and highly doubt its the MAP sensor cause its doesnt even start, it cranks and it sounds like its the timing belt but its still there and is not loose.The noise sounded like it was coming from the bottom end.

Its a 98 2.3

xdaex

iTrader: (1)

Im 80% sure ill be ready but who knows well see,I might be getting a new engine tomorrow.

switchfootvz

iTrader: (6)

xdaex

iTrader: (1)

not the exact one but yes f23 no h22 right thanks to my brother(a different story)

I know I wont have money for a harnes,ecu,tranny so ill get the same one but new or rebuilt or less miles but still f23,I know sucks.

AznX TL

make your mechanic pay for it? it sounds like his fault.....

xdaex

iTrader: (1)

If its somebodies fault it would be mine for not checking the oil regularly like I always do,all install of the timing belt was revisted and it is fine and thats by two techs that I know.


funny thing that shit sounded like it was a deisel engine

CB9-cl

your bro must have driven it all day with no oil.. so yea, your tech. must have emptied it and forgot to refill or had major leak, which is unlikely.. sorry about your luck.. p.s. go h22, then slowly pay off the debt

xdaex

iTrader: (1)

funny thing is we didnt touch the oil.Although I did drain the oil today to check for any shavings but didnt check the oil filter.


I was helping him out to and he used to be my neighbor and pretty much knows me since I was a little kid.

H22 would be Ideal but I just want to get it running right now cause its my only car(that runs)

so maybe next month because right now my pay-check is being garnish

GhettoNinja06

iTrader: (1)

Well it doesn't seem to be running so might as well h22.

xdaex

iTrader: (1)

hahah I know but I could have it running tomorrow(friday) with the money I got now and I cant be without my car for a month,but I know what your saying.

GhettoNinja06

iTrader: (1)

Haha yeah, I know what you're saying too, just thought I'd be a douche.

incredulous1

not to be a douche to him, but SilverCL97 (i forgot his name, forgive me) with the h22 in canada cant even get his h22 running. i dont think its a sensible option with all the wiring you would have to do.

edit: i think its an h23vtec.

xdaex

iTrader: (1)

yup thats exactly why I cant do it right now,Im a tear the head down tomorrow and see if I can see somthing else that I missed but Im pretty sure this damn thing is done.

oh and I found a f23 for 600,what you think shop around or good price

DaInFaMMuS1

u should be able to find a good f23 for 450 or so. I sold my old motor n trans for around that. it sounds like u guys locked something up in the motor and it seized, which could be caused by no oil but I don't see how you'd get down to no oil unless ur car was burning oil and u didn't check it at all. 0 compression is horrid, I hope u did the test wrong or something, or else that motor is toast.
