Cayce,

I have been working on my AWD for about three months now and I finally got it to start up. The problem that I am having now is a very very loud ticking noise coming from, what it sounds like, the exhaust side lifters on the first cylinder. Another thing that I noticed is that the timing belt has oil on it. I know for a fact that it was dry when I put it on there. I noticed that the oil pressure will go down when the car is idling also. If I rev the motor up and hold it at or above 2,000 RPM's then the oil pressure gauge will go back up to the middle where it is suppose to be. I didn't know if that was normal or not. The only thing that I can think of that is wrong with the motor is that the oil pan is pretty bent up. I didn't know if that would keep the oil pick up from picking up enough oil and that could be making the lifters tick and the oil pressure to drop when the car is at idle.
I am also having a problem with the car idling proper. When I first start the car up, it doesn't want to idle right. After I get it to stay idling at about 800 then it is fine. At least until I drive it or rev it up, then it will idle back down or cut off. It sounds like a problem with the TPS, but I was just wanting to get some of ya'lls opinions on this before I start tearing into it again.
This is my first DSM. The only thing that I have extensive knowledge on is Starions, so any help will be appreciated. I am still learning these cars so I really need some help. If you don't want to post on here, you can shot me an e-mail at [email protected]
Thanks,
David
