    Motor knock - 4.6 32v 1997 cobra

    I thought I would drop a note to update. Waiting on the tool and new lash adjusters from Sumit Racing. Once I get them I will start the process of replacing them and let everyone know. Summit said 2-3 weeks for delivery as they were out of stock on this tool. Stay tuned

    Motor knock - 4.6 32v 1997 cobra

    The tool I found was an OTC 7928 Valve Spring Compressor - $119.00 + shipping. I will look to see if I can rent one before buying it. This seems to be the tool for the job - for both 2v and 4v applications. Gotta love "Goolge". Summit Racing has the lash adjusters for $8.95 each. I...

    Motor knock - 4.6 32v 1997 cobra

    Thanks Jeremy, I will look into Summit Racing for the tool and the lash adjusters. Since I am going to be there I might as well change them all and be done with it. I would assume that you need to rotate the cams to get them at the right spot for removal???? Turning the cranck bolt should...

    Motor knock - 4.6 32v 1997 cobra

    Thanks Mike I listened to the You Tube link (4 Runner) and that is pretty close to what I am hearing although not that loud. It is definately not like the Dodge video and not like the wrist pin video as that noise would go away when the plug wire was removed which mine does not. The noise...

    Motor knock - 4.6 32v 1997 cobra

    Thanks Trinity GT Thanks for the input. I should have also stated that I used 20w-50w oil to start things off then changed that oil after 150 miles and added the synthetic oil. Would a collapsed lash adjuster follow the engine RPM's? This knock definately follows the RPM's. I guess it is...

    1997 Cobra won't start

    I found the answer... I had to replace both the crank sensor and the cam sensors and it fired right up. I didn't think these were connected and maybe they are not but that took care of my problem. Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem WHoooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooo!!!!!

    1997 Cobra won't start

    Can the battery cause this kind of issue? Also, I heard the Security System (PSAT) could be an issue and may cause this "won't start" problem . Anybody know about this? I'll start looking at the fuel pump in the mean time. I'll let everyone know what the deal as I go through it. Thanks for all...

    1997 Cobra won't start

    Yes, you can hear the fuel pump run. It only ran for 30 seconds then shut off. I thought it was gas as well so removed the shader valve stem core off the fuel rail and it shot gas over the top of the car. I will recheck all the connections. Any other info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
