the car will start, but it sounds like a chainsaw.

91 Talon TSi..

anyone have a clue? Also, how much does a rebuild go for?

Thanks.
 
Friends car - he never let it warm up, took off and would hit full boost right away.

Started making a bunch of noise while he was driving on the highway. He pulled over and had his buddy come pick him up.
 
Try to isolate the are the noise is comming from. That is far to vauge.

Timing belt area? Harmonic damper or auto tensioner are suspects. Auto tensioner is a very serious problem if that is the case.
 
Thanks.

It's my buddies car.. I'll call him tomorrow and ask.

I'm thinking about buying it off of him. I think I can get it for 700 or 800 bucks. Black with tan leather, 5 spped, TSi FWD..

think its worth it?
