Hi,
Right i got a 02 EP3 with a few miles on it lolz (98,000)
problems:
Knocking noise on the front when driving slow and going over bumps, Had new drop-links 4000 miles ago so there fine. Steering rack seems fine no pulling or creaking noise Just knocking. Seems to be the little bumps and pot holes it makes the noise don't really happen with bigger bumps.
Any info would be cool
Next Problem:
Are the k20 engines ticky lolz.....I find my engine is a little ticky/noisey. Seems fine when first started but when warm i find it to be a little ticky same when i rev it ticky noise gains with the revs. I use 5w 40 fully oil and Lucas Oil Stabilizer and never get any problems with oil level going down. ( don't burn oil ) Had the Valve Clearances done about 4000 miles ago and never made a difference. had the car on 92,000 miles and done 3 oil changes since.
Same again any info would be cool
Next Problem:
When i first start the car after about 5 miles drive i find the revs drop very low when when coming to a stop. Only lasts for a spit sec then goes back up to just under 1000rpm. I also find if i hit the v-tec and give her some it sorts the problem out till next time i use the car. Could this be the idle valve control ?
Many Thanks Ian
P.s sorry if my spelling is shocking
