Hey guys,

I need some help...what a ****ty day...

So here's whats going on, I went to go get my dirty car washed at a local automated car touchless car wash at around 7:30pm, than took the 8 minute drive home and parked the car.

The car was parked for about 10 mins before my friend called me and hit me up to go to the diner, when I went to pick him up I noticed the coolant temp gauge was going up higher than it ever went before, I let off the gas and the coolant temp went back to where it was supposed to. Than down the road more I was almost getting into boost and the coolant temp gauge went up high again....so I was like wtf...

Went to drive it home and all of a sudden the engine starts sounding weird and the car starts vibrating and sounding like a WRX, it feels a ton of power is gone and it sounds like ****. I pulled over and popped the hood and it sounds like there's some ticking/knocking noises under the hood. I also checked if any water got into the intake when I got the car washed just in case...but I didn't see any water in there.

Do you guys have any idea what's going on? I can't call a shop right now or anything so I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

Thanks,

 

my buddy's ix had the same subaru sounds

his motor went kaboom

vague I know but he had to have his motor rebuilt and he described the car as sounding exactly like a subaru

 

oh snap!!! Let's hope yours is not going down that road...best of luck to you man!

 

Possibly a bent valve(s)? I hope everything works out for you and you find the problem before anything else happens to the motor.

 

your having a cylinder missfire or not sparking up, check your plugs QUICK!

oh that happened to me, your prob leaking coolent, check your fluid level

 

definately check the plugs... it happened to me

 

Same thing happened to me when i had a loose injector plug

Wiggled the injector clip back in and it was fixed

Spark and fuel are the first things to check with misfire

 

roadspike to the rescue...good info

 

here's a clip of what its sounding like...

I'll have time to take a look at it in a little bit

 

rod knock?????

 

Definitely check your injectors. We've had a bad injector before and it sounded like a Subaru.

 

Hard to tell from the sound clip, try record a sound clip with slowly reving up the motor to 2500rpm.

 

if the temp was spiking up check the oil and coolant both make sure they are not contaminated, temp spikes usually mean blown head gasket

 

I had the same issue with mine. Had a faulty injector that was spraying the whole time, and it wouldn't let the plug fire b/c it was wet all the time.

I would park it and start it only to get it to a pro to diagnose the problem. No use killing a good 4G by tossing a rod out the side of the block.
