Hi, I have 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST with 128k miles with new timing belt job and water pump. I changed the oil yesterday in the morning and then later took it out for a spin, when all of a sudden the car died and I tried to start it but it wouldn't start. It cranked over but didn't start until the 4th try. When i started the car, i heard this weird tapping sound like if it was a noisy lifter. But it sounds more like a rod knock or something banging in cylinder 3. I tried revving it a little and the knocking sound got louder and quicker, so I quickly turned it off and got it towed home, because i was afraid to damage it further. I plugged in my ob2 scanner and the code P1105 popped up, which means the fuel pressure solenoid is malfunctioning. The car was dying before and started back up before i changed the oil. I was reading online since my blitz bov is venting, that it could be the reason it's dying and running rich. I'm still waiting on the 1g bov i bought off the forums, and I'm going to recirculate it. I used Mobil 1 5w30 synthetic oil extended performance and made sure the oil was at level. I plan to do a compression test today after it stops raining. What do you guys think? I have added a video with the same noise i have.
