so after I start my car for about a minute I hear this sound like a belt is going out. If I rev the engine the sound gets worse...its really horrible but the noise stops abruptly after about one minute. I popped the hood and I think it might be the water pump. Any other ideas? suggestions?

 

damn man... all sorts of problems w/ur zenki huh? then again though I'm the guy who pulled my tranny 4 times to fix the same one problem...

 

What was it?

 

clutch was slipping... I didn't know that you could only machine the oem flywheel one time only before you have to replace it (unless you use a spacer)... and apparently the 3 mechanics that helped me the first 3 times had no idea either I pretty much replaced everything around there~ the flywheel ended up being the LAST to be swapped... btw sry for hijacking thread 98witcr

 

did you fix your problem 98witcr, I think I might have the same problem, any ideas so far?

 

sorry its taken me so long to reply. To answer your question I havent fixed the problem since for a while it went away. Yet it has come and gone in the past 2 weeks. Although its not making the noise for as long (maybe 15 seconds) it lasted a good minute and a half last night. It had been raining and I had had the A/C on. It was horrible. Also when I start my car the motor sounds like tis a damn desiel. It lasts for about a minute and then dies down. Sometimes it does it and sometimes it sounds fine. Yes...Im having a lot of problems

 

I know this might sound kind of obvious, but have you checked the tension on all your belts?

 

This is Brett's friend. I'm just uploading the video of the noise the car is making.

How many miles does your engine have on it?

I've notice that sound occurs in worn-out engines. Basically the oil pressure takes a long time to come up because the bearings are worn. The extra clearance in the bearings allows the connecting rods to slap the crankshaft a little until there is enough oil pressure to stop it.

 

f%@k all the problem searching and just put a sr20 in, and bring some real speed to that car

 

here we go agian... just put a sr in it!

 

yeah if i had the money drop in a SR (btw **** an SR...RB all the way) I wouldnt be having this problem in the first place

I have 133,500 on the clock right now

 

why's everyone want an SR? everybody and their grandmother has one....

 

damn...the vid didnt show me getting out of the car and popping the hood. oh well you can hear the noise pretty good right at the end.
