Well i just got the 90 GST and got it started tuday with my freand but the is One more problem we cant get.

When the car starts its dieing after few minutes and the RPM arent stedy but the main problem i got is Theres Very Hard Knocking coming out of the motor sounds like its comming from the timing belt area it sound like thats some big part of a matel hitting another part of the metal relly loud and the whole motor is shaking when its happining can it be a bad berring?
 
Drop the oil pan and check for shavings (metal or brass). If you find some, it wouldn't be a bad idea to pull the rod bearings and check them as well. While the knock could be a spun balance shaft bearing, performing a balance shaft elimination won't help if the motor's succumbed to rod knock.

Good luck and keep us posted,

Andy
