Strange thing happened this morning on the way to work and perhaps some of you can throw some ideas out at me.
First...last time driving it was Late Saturday night to a friends house and back. I got on it once but other than that it never seen more than 55mph. When I parked the car it had "good" oil pressure, temps, etc....etc....it than sat since Saturday.
This morning I started the car to let it warm up as it was freaking cold and to warm the motor up. Went to get in after 10mins and seen the temp gauge was still reading lower than normally would and I went on up the road to work noticing knock under a load and hearing a rattling/ticking/knocking noise from the engine so I pulled over to see what it was. When you first start the motor the noise occurs and when you tach up on it it happens. Knock occurs alot when under load it seems. I am confused and dont know what it might be. FYI....it has 10-15psi of oil pressure at idle and when cruising down the road this morning it show 25psi. And no I did not drive the car completely here to work hoping not to do any damage or more damage if there already.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
If I was thinking of a bad spark plug, could this sound like it or what about a wrist pin? A wrist pin would continuously rattle, knock wouldnt it?
