I Drove my car fine to kings restuarnt and then when i came out to start it again it had a real bad lifter tick and then the car just shuts off and everytime i try to start it, it does the same thing ticks for 10 secs and then shuts off. Oils fine oil presures fine
Any ideas please help! :talon: 95 tsi
 
sounds like your timing belt jumped. when this happens, it tends to make a loud tapping noise from the valve cover area. not a tick, not a knock, something in between. you might wanna retime the belt and see what that does...... ive ran into the same problem, or it seems like the same prob. hope it works out.
 
if the timing belt jumped a tooth or something and anything came into contact......yeah, you're gonna have some damage to the valves in there i'm sure. sorry.
