I dont know whats going on, but for a while my car had been bogging off the line, then it was fine, and now only a few days ago i tried starting it up to go to work, and it just sputtered and died... and then did it a few more times.. really really rough idle when it was running.
I have a feeling it may be a cracked injector, because most of this started right after I put some fuel injector cleaner in. The car runs fine most of the time, but does this every once in a while, most of the time it doesnt stall, but it just idles really really rough.
Next thing... sometimes, when the car is really cold, most of the time it happens after I forget to plug it in at night, even after i let the car warm up, it makes a really wierd noise from the front left side of the engine.. its almost like a humming and ringing noise at the same time... and it gets louder the faster i go, usually gets really loud around 50/60 km/h. It doesnt do it if I just rev the car higher than idle in park or neutral, it only does it in drive. I have no clue what this is.
And lastly... Every time I go over bumps the front suspension makes loud clunking noises. Now, i thought this sounded like a ball joint problem, but my dad just replaced the ball joints/control arms last year, so i am really not sure.
Anyone have any ideas of what may be causing these problems?
It is on my 89 sei with 224,000kms... and i really have no clue, so any help would be awesome.
Thanks a lot
