This is a carry over from the dirties engine ever in the intake thread
So the other day I changed the oil and put a can of sea foam in with the new oil to clean some of the sludge and build up crap thats infected the engine.
Yesterday I started the car and heard a belt squeal for a split second i didn't think anything of it because I replaced the accessory belts 3 days ago.
Last night my fiancé and I jump in the car to get some dinner, she fires it up and it sounds like its running on less then 4 cylinders Im not sure what the problem was so i checked the codes nothing new just all the old saved codes from a few days ago.
This morning I changed all the spark plugs in the off chance one fouled they were all really bad looking pretty oil soaked and yucky.
Car fired up and ran fine for like 3 seconds and then went full poo poo brain and started running like shit again. Feels like its not running on all 4's or the timing just decided to go all the hell
I pulled the covers off the timing belt to inspect the belt and it looks fine no chucks in the bottom of the covers or any obvious signs that it had skipped or destroyed the teeth.
But maybe the tensioner pooped out idk. I have a new radiator coming and ill change the timing then and see if that was the problem. Has anyone had this happen to them?
The other thing that might have happened is the motor just decided to lose compression..
Im not really sure how to check compression..
Any and all input is helpful you guys are the best.
