Oh, I do a little here and there.
Alright here's the problems and other weird things I need to check out:
1. Still bogging at 1400-1500 rpms sounds like rev limiter, ignition timing is now dead-on. Cam timing? Quickest and easiest way to check cam timing? Could this even be the cause?
2. When I do redline pulls it seems like FIRST gear is hitting rev limiter at 6600 rpm, while the rest make it past 7200 rpm. What is this?
3. When I'm slowing down, there's a knocking sound coming from the front-right. Axel problem? Why is it doing this? Sounds exactly like a bad tie-rod but my car doesn't have tie rods.
4. The valve cover sometimes feels hot, and sometimes it doesn't. Overheating? I went to Autozone and I have a new fan switch gonna install it later.
ANY INPUT is very much appreciated I finally have time today and part of tomorrow to do something about these.
I'm saving up to replace the whole cooling system, new aluminum radiator dual-core, new fan and motor, waterpump, thermostat, all new hoses and clamps, timing belt, oil pump, fuel filter, battery and alternator, basic tune-up. Gonna start using Castrol Syntec oil also, 5w-30.
