Here's the gist of it, Drove home yesterday from work; heard three loud popping noise followed by a lot of clinking and clunking noise; now its just all rev and no go. Well it goes but very very slowly, and all those noises seems to be coming from the engine. Is it blown?
MY 02 WRX, Stage 2 with stage 2 flash from Nuke . and about 166,xxx miles on her. Yes, when accelerating its just all rev and very slow go
Oh and the clicks get louder as the rev goes higher, but at idle the car sounds just fine even at idle rev it sounds like nothing is wrong until you drive it.
define "very slow go" better. Will it only reach a certain speed? Will it reach speed but just take a while to get there? How long? Any other symptoms or differences you are noticing?
It will reach speed, but slowly; accelerating makes no difference at all; it's like a consistant slow rise no matter how much gas you're giving it, rpm will just sky rocket without any noticeable gain in speed. The sound of the car is a lot different too, it sounds like those old beat up cars with broken exhaust, does not have the nice subaru rumble anymore.
judging by your name... your in the 763... pm me and we can talk, i could prob come take a look at it if you havent figured anything out.
