    Knocking?

    Ok so i got a question. When my car is fully warmed up there is a sporadic faint knocking sound at idle coming from the engine. The motor is a 90' m20. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what this is. Its late and i just got off work so im not really to keen on searching, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try to find out where in the engine knock is coming from, Here's a trick, use a piece of broomstick or a big screwdriver, and press the handle to your ear and the tip to the engine. This wil let you listen inside the engine a lot clearer.

    Put the tip of the screwdriver/stick in different areas of the engine until you can here the noise "near"

    You can also use a hose as a listening device
